Specific information on the potential ancestors of Elias Hefford is provided in the French Family Tree on Ancestry<ref name=Foot05/> which indicates that Elias, born in 1856 in New Perlican, was the son of William-b1816 (Hefford) born in 1816 in New Perlican and Ellen Seward - born there in 1822.  This Tree also indicates Elias had a brother Jacob who was born in New Perlican in 1864, and married and had 10 children there.

The French Family Tree also indicates that Elias' father William-b1816 was the son of James-b1785 (b cad 1785) and Mary (b ca 1795) Hefford, both born in Newfoundland, and that James-b1785 was the son of a James-b1729 Hefford born in Newfoundland ca 1729.  James-b1729 (or perhaps James-b1785, if his birth year was actually earlier than indicated) may have been the husband in the "James and Mary" couple mentioned in the Newfoundland Ancestor article<ref name=Foot03/> (above).

Other information on the early Heffords in Trinity Bay is available from the "Listing of Grave Sites (that have headstones or markers) in New Perlican" cemeteries<ref name=Foot06/>.  The Listing includes a William Hefford who was born in 1727 (hence William-b1727) based on his indicated death on 8 Jun 1788 at age 61 yrs, and wife Honor Hefford (her married surname) who was born in 1734 based on her indicated death in Dec 1815 at age 81 yrs.  They are likely the “William and Honor” couple mentioned in the Newfoundland Ancestor article<ref name=Foot03/> (above).

While there remains some uncertainty regarding Elias’ specific ancestors, the collective evidence indicates that at least a couple of generations of his ancestors lived and fished on the other side of Trinity Bay, initially at New Perlican and then with some moving to New Harbour.

===Second, Third and Fourth Generations===
====Peter Hefford and Family====
Peter Hefford married Jessie Cooper (1887-1983) of Snook's Harbour [see [[Cooper|Cooper Family]]].  Peter and Jessie, and his sibling(s) were the "Second Generation" of the Heffords of Random Island.  Peter and Jessie lived in Snook's Harbour and are buried in the United Church Cemetery there<ref name=Foot07/>.
Peter and Jessie had the following children<ref name=Foot10/>, all born in Snook's Harbour:

====Lewis Hefford and Family====
Lewis Hefford worked as an inshore fisherman, logger and at the local Smith Brickyard<ref name=Foot11/>.  His family fishing activities included the landing of remarkably large codfish at the family wharf in Snook’s Harbour in the 1960s.  Wife Gladys ran a retail store in Snook’s Harbour for over 45 years, with Lewis’ help (this followed the closure of the store on the other side of Snook’s Harbour run by cousin Jane Loder [see [[Loder|Loder Family]]]).
Lewis and Gladys raised 7 sons in Snook’s Harbour; they are members of the "Fourth Generation" of the Heffords of Random Island.
