Notes
Birth
The date of birth 2 February 1848 is inconsistent with the evidence for Barbara Samford, daughter of William Samford and Sarah DeShields, because the census records of 1860 and 1870 clearly show that she was born after her brother Leroy, who was born in early 1850.Barbara Wadkins in the 1900 census has the date of birth Dec 1854.
Barbara Wadkins, therefore, may not be Barbara Samford.
Nevertheless there is a DNA match to me, chasman90, who claims to be a descendant of Barbara Samford Wadkins.
