Name Origin: England |
|
According to NC cousin Greg Cranford, our branch of the Cranford
family takes its name from the lords of the manor of Cranford
located in Middlesex west London. Walter de Cranford was one of
the earliest Lords of the Manor of Cranford and later held a
manor in Twyford as well. |
The Cranford
branch of the family connects to the Loftin branch when
Laura W.
Cranford married
William Alexander Loftin. |
|
|
The name Cranford is most prominent in North Carolina,
Pennsylvania and Texas. There are also sizeable groups of
Cranfords in New York, Ohio, West Virginia, Michigan, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and California. |
