The Hefford Family of Random Island[a]
The first Hefford family to settle permanently in the Random Island area was that of Elias and Maria (nee Ivany) Hefford of New Perlican who moved to Snook's Harbour in the late 1880s or early 1890s "to sail with the Loders who operated fishing schooners out of [there][b] at that time"[1] [see Loder Family]. We will consider Elias and Maria to be the "First Generation" of the Hefford Family of Random Island.
Notes
- ↑ Prepared by John W Loder (JohnWLoder@gmail.com) with input from Glendon & Evan Hefford. John is a great grandson of John & Jane (Smith) Loder who settled in Snook’s Harbour in the 1870s, and is thus related to the Fourth & later Generation(s) of the Random Island Heffords via the Smith Family. He is also related to the Third & later Generation(s) of the Heffords via his great-great grandmother Rachel (Cooper) Loder and the Cooper Family. He may also have a distant relation to the early Heffords of New Perlican via his grandmother Leah (Efford) Loder of Port de Grave. Glendon and Evan are great grandsons of Elias Hefford.
