Oct Court 1768. John Redford appointed guardian to William, Sarah, Martha, and James Redford, orphans of James Redford. (is there a missing brother, James???)
Luzby Turpin and Milner Redford, Securities.

John's will was dated 1 Apr 1778 in Henrico Co VA. He married Mary Cocke daughter of William Cocke & Sarrah Perrin.
Will of John Redford, Jr., Proceedings of Commission the Records of Henrico County Destroyed by the British, 1774-1782:105, 106, dated 1 Apr. 1778. Order may not be correct. The will names Francis, William C., Joseph, Martha Goode, Ann Throgmorton, then grandson, Michael Turpin (who was son of Sarah), grandson William Redford (son of John), and son James. James is the only son whom he appoints as executor. Nothing is left to Sarah Turpin or John Redford, but legacies are left to their sons. Had they died? Were the last 3 children listed probably older than the first 5? Were Agnes Redford (m. Joseph Bondurant) and Mary Redford (m. William Bullington) also his daughters? Neither is mentioned in the will. the Reverend Otis A. Glazebrook, a descendant, identified them as his daughters. (William Irby Cocke papers in the Virginia Historical Society Library.)
