Syl Woolford - The Woolford Family during the Revolutionary War
Roger Woolford came to the Maryland colony in 1662. He received land grants in Somerset and Dorchester counties. His family grew and his family wealth grew over the early years of the British colonies. When the Revolutionary War began, General George Washington called on local militias to join the Continental Army. Colonel Thomas Woolford answered the call and joined the Revolutionary War on January of 1776. He served seven years in the Continental army.
This presentation tells the history of the Woolford Family of Sommerset and Dorchester Counties from the time Roger Woolford landed in Virginia in 1661 through the Revolutionary War to his descendants who are living today. Three hundred and sixty two years of  history in one hour.
