Nelson Whitford, farmer, P.O. Philipsville, was born Mar 10, 1833
at Columbus, Chenango Co. NY, son of Ezekiel and Ruth Rice Whitford,
both now deceased. Our subject moved to Chautauqua Co. when 17 years
of age, he was united in marriage Mar 1, 1847 to Mary Howard, and
settled in 1850 at their present place; it was then a wilderness,
and they suffered many privations. They have been industrious and
successful, and besides helping their children, have a farm of about
75 acres. They are the parents of 6 children - Mrs. Harriet Coons,
Merrills D., Mrs. Mannie Smilth, Mrs. Emily Gifford, Mrs. Ella
Warner, and Charley. Charley Whitford was married January 1, 1881 to
Winnie E. Chambers; they live with our subject. Mr. Whitford is a
Democrat in politics, a solid reliable farmer, and a man of
influence. Source: History of Erie Co. PA |
