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]{{efn|name=fn2}} at that time"<ref name=Foot01/> [see [[Loder|Loder Family]]].

A 1998 review of the historical occurrence of various family names in Newfoundland<ref name=Foot02/> found that early instances for Hefford were "William of New Perlican, 1682" and "William Hefford, of Trinity Bay, 1773". It also notes early instances of similar surnames with an indication that they were just different spellings of the same name: "William Heyford (spelt Hettford in 1681), of New Perlican, 1675". | |||
