About Cynthia Hereford

Cynthia McComas was the daughter of Moses McComas and Lucy Napier from Cabell Co. WV. She married Dr. James Henry Hereford prior to 1826 and they had children together. A daughter Frances Hereford was born in May 9, 1826 in Mercer's Bottom, Mason Co WV where the family Hereford lived, so we can date Cynthia McComas to that area May 9, 1826. Dr. J.H. Hereford moved around for his medical work in both KY and Tennessee and accounts say he went to Kentucky in 1830. It is unknown where and when first wife Cynthia (McComas) died, but Dr. Hereford remarried June 16, 1840 in Pike County, KY. Burial location for Cynthia has not been found.
