WILLIAM RADFORD was born in Shelby County, Ky., September 11, 1833, of parents
William and Nancy Radford, natives of the same county and State. William
Radford, Sr., was a son of George Radford, a Virginian, who married Catherine
Woodcock.  They moved to Shelby County, Ky., in an early day, and resided
there until their death.  He was a soldier of the Revolutionary war, and was
the father of these children:  Jacob, Henry, Elizabeth, Richard, Mary and
William. William Radford, father of our subject, was the youngest of these
children, was born n 1809, and in course of time married Nancy Pearcy, in
Shelby County, Ky., who was born in 1806. After marriage, they settled in that
county, where he died in 1833.  She was subsequently married to John Radcliff,
and moved with her husband to this county in 1838.  Mrs. Radcliff died in
1868, mother of two children--Mary, and William, our subject. William Radcliff
was married on November 31, 1854, to Elizabeth, a daughter of Enoch S. and
Sarah (Dugan) Tabor. She was born on March 18, 1838, in Nelson County, Ky.
After marriage, the couple moved to Green Township, remained here until 1871,
when they went to Martinsville, and there Mr. Radford opened a hardware store.
He continued in that business for three years, and then returned to this
township where he has resided ever since.  They have had four children--John
L., Mary (deceased), Thomas B. and Frances.   Mr. Radford was elected Justice
of the Peace in 1876, and has retained that office until the present time.
