Hiram Stanford, Sr was born in approximately 1805 in South Carolina. Records regarding Hiram's parents and early life are scarce. However, we do know that he moved to Tennessee some time between 1820 and 1830.
Hiram married Elizabeth Payne on September 19, 1832. Between 1833 and 1852, Hiram and Elizabeth had 14 children (listed below).
In 1847, Hiram hoped to find a better life for his wife and children. He followed his brother Thomas to Texas. For the next 2 years Hiram traveled between Carroll Co., Tennessee and Texas. In December 1849, he purchased land in Fannin County, TX. Early the next year, Hiram moved his family there.
In 1852, Hiram moved one last time to a farm outside of Farmersville, TX. His home was located on the S. Owens survey (Southeast of Farmersville, on the South side of the current Texas HWY 380).
Hiram passed away in 1873 and was preceded in death by his wife Elizabeth and 5 children.
