In The History of Leon County, Texas, Volume I, this is what appears re: Dora: "Fifth child [of Obadiah and Lucy Radford], son William, was born October 8, 1824. His oldest child, Georgianna married A. Gunn in Leon County. Another daughter, Dora Ann, married John C. Lamon. One of John C. Lamon's daughters was Mrs. Austin (Belle) Roach, who lived in Oakwood for many years, and some of her grandsons still live in Leon County."
The1880 Freestone, TX census shows J. Gunn with wife G. Gunn (of proper age, 25 in 1880, 5 in 1860) with D. ? Newman, widow, age 19 as sister in law and William Radford age 16 as brother in law.
There is a marriage record published in the Ft. Worth Gazette, March 9, 1883: Marriage license issued during February: "Mr. John C. Lammen [sic] to Miss Dora Newman."
Dora Ann Radford and Dora Newman are the same person, and Dora is the sister of Georgianna Radford Gunn; therefore Dora Ann Radford is a daughter of William and Martha Radford.
