GUILFORD Family in America: pedigrees and genealogical notes of the Guilford and allied families 1898
By Nathan Guilford
This book presents the ancestry of the Guilford and allied families in America. It is an ancient and historic English name. The town of Guilford in Surrey is mentioned in the will of Alfred the Great. Kent adjoins Surrey; and when Shakespeare says "In Kent, my liege, the Guilfords are in arms" he indicates the power and influence of the family. Similar examples are given in this publication. In America we see John Guilford in Hingham, Mass before 1660. The genealogy of these families is provided with charts to display clarity.
