It is believed that the Burford School could have been named for and was located on land of Alexander Jasper Burford who moved to the area that later became known as Goldsboro, in 1876.  He moved from the Content area of Runnels County, which was just across the line.  The Burford family history says the children went to school at Opposum Trot in the Midway area.  This school could have been called Burford or could have evolved from the Burford School.  The only record that we have found is in the County School Records, showing that B. W. Bigham taught there in 1892.
