Family is featured in James Gregory Mumford's book "Mumford
Memoirs". Also covered in Sheri Styx "Mumfords in
America". Further names of family members who emigrated to Canada
as
Planters in 1700 have been added . This family may be descended
from Hugh
deMontfort III (nee deGand) whose descendants included the Barons of
Beldesert
in Warwickshire. Hugh deMontfort II arrived in England with
William in
1066.
John Mondeford, living circa 1300 in Norfolk,
England.
The Mondeford family was listed as an "ancient family", living
in Norfolk prior to the invasion. The name appears to be Saxon in
origin.
By 1600 it has been corrupted to Mundeford, Mundford, Munford and
Mumford.
Information obtained from various Rolls and linkages are open to
question.

Mumford DNA Project
This project is an attempt to establish a linkage or lack thereof amongst the various Mumford families. To date it has established that the Mumford families in Ugley, Littlebury, and Rhode Island are not related. The Littlebury line appears to be Danish (Haplogroup I1a). Their proximity to the Mundefords in Norfolk suggests that the Mundefords may also be Danes and the forefathers of John Mumford of Littlebury. The line of Thomas Mumford of Ugley is Haplogroup R1b. This group is considered to be among the early settlers ogf England. The line of Thomas Mumford of Rhode Island is Haplogroup Q. This group is not common in England. J.G.Mumford reported in his book that a family member had heraldic evidence suggesting the family came from Yorkshire in England. It is known that Edward I sent one of the Warwick deMontforts to Yorkshire. Since Hugh deGand, the progenitor of the Warwick line was not a Norman but from what is now Belgium it is possible that his line could be related to that of Thomas.
