Biography
Lydia was born in 1772. She died in 1845. [1]
One researcher says she was born in Prince William County, VA. It's possible that she is the Lydia Lanford shown in the Antioch minutes as having been received by experience on March 5, 1842. She is very likely the same as the Lyddia Lanford who was baptized at Antioch on March 5, 1852..Note: Some sources say she died about 1845 near Woodruff and was also buried in the Lanford Family Cemetery, which seems quite likely, but no marker has been found.
