Biographical Note
James Henry Linford (1536-1925) and Zillah Crockett Linford (1839-1913) were the maternal grandparents of Luella Reddish Lear. Born in Gravely, Cambridgeshire, England, James Linford immigrated to the United States in 1861 after his conversion to the LDS church and serving nine years as a missionary in his homeland.
