| 13752 | Robert Stafford Born between 1780-1784 probably in North Carolina;1 died summer of 18332 probably on 29 August 1833.3 He was the son of William and Fanny Stafford2 [maiden name not known at this time]. Robert was born shortly after the end of the Revolutionary War. Documentation has not been found to be certain where in North Carolina Robert was born, however, a biographical sketch indicates that Robert's father William and his siblings, Jonas, James and John, left Guilford County, North Carolina in about 1804 and migrated into Ohio and settled near Buckskin Creek in what is now Ross County.4 It is certain that conditions there were still very primitive since Ohio had just become a state in 18035 and the region was generally an unsettled territory. There were no roads in the area; there were no conveniences; and settlers had to cut their way through the heavy timber just to find and get to the property they had bought from the Federal government. There was still an abundance of wild life including: bears, wolves, foxes, deer, elk, buffalo and much more. Within 9 years, James, Robert and Jonah Stafford moved their families again into the adjacent Highland County settling between Fall and Hardin Creeks on land owned by Benjamin F. Barrett, John Morrow and Jacob Tompkins. 4 Robert Stafford married Sarah Bullock in North Carolina in about July 1802.6 The only evidence found to date documenting Robert's marriage to Sarah is the marriage bond of 500 pounds that he and his brother, James, filed in Guilford County.7 In 1810 Robert and his family are enumerated in Guilford County, North Carolina. It is possible that his primary residence was still North Carolina and that he had left his family behind to make a home for them in primitive Ohio.7 The 1820 census provides evidence that Robert had moved west again, this time settling in Morgan County, Indiana.8 Again he moved to an unsettled area and into a region that had just become a state again. Indiana was the 19th State admitted to the union on 11 December 1816.9 There are 3 land patents that issued to Robert Stafford in what later became Morgan County on 13 November 1822.10,11,12 Robert was not satisfied that this was the best place to make his home. Within two years, he and his wife, Isabella Stafford, signed the warranty deed transferring ownership of these parcels of land to Thomas Watson, from Jefferson County, Tennessee on 16 June 1823.13 This time the Staffords did not travel far to make their new home and it was the last time he moved any great distance. In April 1825, Robert purchased an 80-acre tract of land in Johnson County, Indiana.14 Robert Stafford died in the summer of 18332 probably on 29 August 1833.3 He left no will to help with the settlement of his estate, yet he left four minor children and his adult sons, who were all living in Indiana in Morgan and Johnson Counties.2 The probate records list the following adult heirs for Robert Stafford: Sterling Stafford - Morgan County, Indiana Allen Stafford - Johnson County, Indiana Benjamin Stafford - Morgan County, Indiana Andrew Stafford - no place of residence listed on this page The probate file states these heirs are all adults suggesting that they were all born prior to 1812, which would make them all over 21 years of age when he died in 1833. It continues on to list his minor heirs and their residence: Grant Stafford - Johnson County, Indiana Robert Stafford - Johnson County, Indiana Lydia Stafford - Johnson County, Indiana James Stafford - Morgan County, Indiana Although it is not certain that the children are listed in chronological order, they are listed by their status as adults or minors. Using dates in the the probate file, it is possible to narrow the year of birth of his children. The minor heirs would all have to have been born after 1812 in order to be less than 21 years of age when Robert died with the exception of his only daughter Lydia, whose age of majority may have been 18 years rather than 21. Further research for Lydia documents her year of birth as 1832.20 One additional person expected to be an heir to Robert Stafford's estate is his wife, Isabella Stafford. Although no marriage record has been found to date for Robert Stafford and Isabella, the Stafford - Watson warranty deed documents that Isabella Stafford was the wife of Robert Stafford.12 Census records indicate that there was only one Robert Stafford living in Morgan and Johnson Counties at the time this deed was executed. It is interesting to note that Isabella Stafford was not listed as an heir to Robert Stafford's estate. Johnson County Civil Court records document troubles between Robert and Isabel Stafford16 as well as another incident between John Gaunce and Robert Stafford.17 It is possible that these troubles led to a divorce, however records documenting a divorce for Robert Stafford have not been found in Johnson or Morgan Counties. It is possible that they divorced elsewhere. A little more than a year after Robert Stafford's death, Isabel [sic] Stafford married Albert Walle in Johnson County, Indiana.18 Four of Robert Stafford's children worked together to try to save as much of his land possible during the final settlement of his estate. Apparently, there was not enough personal property to settle debts incurred prior to Robert's death so when the land was sold, Sterling, Andrew, Benjamin and William purchased the land.2 Comments and hypotheses: Evidence I uncovered while researching Robert Stafford's life caused me to draw different conclusions than those published by other genealogists. The bullet points below list my hypotheses. The evidence for my conclusions is shown in the table below listing the evidence I have collected for Robert Stafford with links to the documents. Robert Stafford married 2 times (1st) to Sarah Bullock in 1802; (2nd) to Isabella [surname unknown]13 - she may have been the daughter of Hezekiah Davisson, but this has not been proven. Robert and Sarah Stafford migrated from Guilford County, NC to Ross County, OH in about 1804.4 Robert and Sarah migrated from Ross to Highland County, OH in about 1813.4 Sarah died in Ohio about 1814-1816; based on information about the status of Robert Stafford's children listed in his probate file.2 Robert left Ohio with his children by 1820.7 Robert married a woman with the given name Isabella. The evidence for this conclusion is provided in the warranty deed for the sale of the Morgan County land.13 Robert Stafford's children did not all have the same mother.2 Note the gap in the ages of his children as were stated in his probate file. It lists the children that are minors and those that are adults also specifying their places of residence. The combined evidence presented in the documents below that support these conclusions. The biographical sketch for his son, Benjamin, lists Sarah Bullock as Benjamin's mother.22 Documentation for events in Robert Stafford's life: Robert and Sarah Stafford nee Bullock Census 1790 <../images/Cen_1790NCGuilfordSTAFFORDWilliam.jpg>- not listed by name; father's household consistent with his Will24 1800 - did not find in Guilford; no census available in Ohio 1810 <../images/Cen_1810NCGuilfordSTAFFORD-Robt.jpg> - Guilford County, North Carolina6 1820 <../images/Cen_1820INDelawareCoSTAFFORDRobert.jpg> - Delaware County, Indiana7 1830 <../images/Cen_1830INJohnsonSTAFFORDRobert.jpg> - Blue River Township, Johnson County, Indiana22 Marriage Record Marriage bond for marriage of Robert Stafford to Sarah Bullock <../images/MarLic_Stafford_Bullock.jpg> filed in Guilford County, North Carolina by Robert Stafford and James Stafford on 14 July 1802.5 No marriage record has been located to date for a Robert Stafford and Isabella, however, legal documents list her as his wife.

| 13753 | Robert Stafford, Jr. 3 (William1 Robert2) b. 16 December 1828 1829 in Indiana;1,2 d. 06 September 1863 at Camp Sherman, near Vicksburg, Mississippi.2,3 He was probably the the son of Robert Stafford and his wife, Isabel Davisson. Direct evidence has not been located at this time specifying, who Robert Stafford's mother was, however, Robert, Sr. and his wife Isabella signed deeds in 19235 and there are Civil Court records indicating they were still married in 1830.6,7 Robert, Jr. was born in Indiana and lived most of his life in Johnson and Morgan Counties. After his father's death, Robert lived most of his life in Morgan County.1,9 On 04 August 1850 he married Nancy Ann Hiatt in Madison Township, Morgan County, Indiana.2,8 Nancy was born on 10 November 1828 in Indiana.2,9 Robert and Nancy Stafford owned 120 acre of land in Morgan County, which they sold in 1857 to Eli Bray.10 The same year the warranty deed was executed Eli Bray had filed a Civil Action against Robert Stafford. The court awarded Mr. Bray $240.50 for his damages and costs, the details of the case are not recorded in the record book.11 Robert Stafford, Jr. was an adult during a tumultuous time for the United States. In 1861 when the War of the Rebellion broke out he was 32 years old.1,8 He enlisted on 08 August 1862 in Mooresville and entered Company E of the 12th Indiana Infantry.2,3,4 Unfortunately, Robert Jr. did not survive the War. He died on 06 September 1863 at Camp Sherman, near Vicksburg, Mississippi of typhoid fever with chronic diarrhea, chills, and fever.2 Following Robert's death, Nancy Stafford remained in Morgan County, Indiana where she raised her children.10,11,12 On 13 August 1886 she appeared before William C. Smock, Clerk of the Marion Civil Circuit Court to file a "Declaration for Widow's Increase of Army Pension."2 This document records that she lived in Brooklyn, Morgan County, Indiana.2 She stated that she was 38 years old at that time and that she was the widow of Robert Stafford. Nancy was admitted to a pension of $8.00 per month to begin on 07 September 1863. In 1916 her pension was raised to $20 per month.2 Who are Robert and Nancy's children? There is conflicting or in the least confusing information in the census records regarding the number of children Robert and Nancy Stafford had. According to the 1900 census, Nancy A. Stafford was the mother of 6 children, 4 of whom were living when that census was enumerated.19 However, if one lists each child that is enumerated with then over the years in the census records for 18609 through 190018 there are a total of 8 people with different given names and years of birth. This is not unusual, but is a factor to consider regarding who their children were. In 1870, the girl, Catherine who was born in about 1862, was not enumerated with Nancy Stafford, but in 1880 she was listed as her daughter and in 1880, the girl, Sarah who was born in 1864 is not shown in Nancy's household. It is possible that information in the census records is incorrect for whatever reason. As expected, the Civil War Pension file does provide additional information about the children of Robert and Nancy Stafford.2 According to Nancy's declaration made on 13 August 1866 they were the parents of the following children: Harriet Isabel Stafford, b. 16 May 1851 in Morgan County, Indiana; Dr. Giles B. Mitchell acted as accoucheur.2 Lucinda Jane "Jane" Stafford, b. 27 March 1853 in Morgan County, Indiana; Dr. A. W. Reagan acted as accoucheur.2 Eliza Ann "Liza A." Stafford, b. 01 June 1855 in Morgan County, Indiana; Dr. S. A. Butterfield acted as accoucheur.2 [Note: There was some confusion in Nancy's Civil War Pension file about the names of her children. She had to have affidavit's submitted stating the names of Robert's and her children. This girl may have been recorded as Louisa in the 1860 census. Also see the affidavit filed on 26 July 1867 by Velorus Butterfield.]9 Joseph Robert Stafford, b. 17 November 1858 in Cumberland County, Illinois.2 Margaret Stafford, b. 10 Mar 1860 in Morgan County, Indiana; Dr. S. A. Butterfield acted as accoucheur.2 Sarah C. Stafford, b. 27 June 1862; Dr. Clark Robbins acted as physician.2 All of them resided with their mother in Morgan County, Indiana on 13 August 1866.2 Nancy had to struggle to make ends meet to care for her young children after Robert died. She remained in Morgan County until her death on 29 January 1923. During the latter part of her life her daughter, Jane Losh cared for her and she died at the Jane's home in Brooklyn, Indiana.2 The pension file contains a document filed by Jane Losh for the reimbursement of a fee for helping Nancy Stafford during her last sickness and with her burial. This document states that Nancy's full name was Nancy Harriet Stafford.2 Jane Losh was the daughter of Nancy Stafford.2,12 Nancy was buried in the Brooklyn Cemetery in Morgan County, Indiana. The affidavits in the pension file state that Nancy was sick for about 1 year prior to her death with Chronic Bright's Disease. Apparently, her daughter, Jane, cared for her during her final illness.2 Further Research: Research is needed in the probate records of Morgan County, Indiana. Compiled service records for Robert Stafford might provide some interesting military information, but generally do not provide much genealogical information. | STAFFORD, Robert Jr. (I47690)

| 13755 | Samuel W. Stafford. An active, esteemed and thriving member of the agricultural community of Hamilton Township, Samuel W. Stafford is prosperously engaged in his independent vocation on Section 5, his well improved and judiciously cultivated farm being a model one in its appointments and equipments. A native of this township, he was born January 9, 1852, a son of the lat Thomas Stafford, Jr. His paternal grandfather, Thomas Stafford, Sr., was one of the early pioneers of Indiana, coming here from Ohio. The journey through the wilderness was made with a team, which was the most expeditious mode of traveling in those primitive days before the country was spanned by the network of railways that now render journeying so rapid and pleasant. Settling in the woods, the father cleared the land and was actively employed in tilling the soil the remainder of his years. Thomas Stafford, Jr., was born on January 1, 1819, in Clark County, Ohio, and died in Delaware County, Indiana. A child when his parents brought him here, he grew to manhood on the parental homestead, as a youth taking kindly to agricultural pursuits. Prudent and economical, he saved his earnings, and when ready to establish a household of his own purchased a tract of land that was still in its original wilderness, cleared a space, and on it erected a log cabin as his first dwelling. As a farmer he succeeded beyond his most sanguine expectations, in course of time becoming the owner of four hundred acres of good land, which he had earned through his own sturdy efforts. He added to the size of his cabin by additional rooms, and in it lived until his death. He was a man of honor and integrity, a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in politics a Whig. On January 20, 1846, he married Matilda J. Black, who was born in Clinton County, Ohio, and died on the home farm there. Of the five children born to them three survive, as follows Sylvester, living in Muncie, married Clara Gerard; Joseph M., of whom a brief sketch may be found elsewhere in this work; and Samuel W. Brought up on the parental homestead, Samuel W. Stafford had such educational advantages as were afforded by the pioneer schools of his district, which he attended three months each winter. On attaining his majority his father bought him eighty acres of heavily timbered land, built a two-room frame house for a domicile, and he began his career as an independent farmer. Meeting with encouraging success in his labors, Mr. Stafford has added by purchase to his original acreage, and has now a finely improved farm of one hundred and twenty acres, all but twenty of which he has himself cleared from its pristine wildness. In 1904 Mr. Stafford erected his present substantial frame residence, and is continuing his energetic labors as a tiller of the soil, carrying on general farming and stock raising with exceptionally good pecuniary results. Mr. Stanford married first, in 1871, Annie Flinn, who was born in this county, and here spent her entire life, dying in 1894. Her parents, James and Melissa (Taylor) Flinn, were born, bred and married in Miami County, Ohio, from there coming to Indiana and locating in Union Township as pioneers. Mr. Flinn was a man of much force of character, of Jeffersonian Democrat in politics, and, with his wife, belonged to the Christian Church. On January 6, 1898, Mr. Stafford married for his second wife Susan Oral Gable, who was born in Blackford County, Indiana, February 2, 1862, a daughter of William H. Gable. Mr. Gable was born in Pennsylvania eighty-two years ago and is now residing in Hartford City, Indiana, a strong and vigorous man of one of his years. He learned the trade of a cabinetmaker when young, and followed it for a time in his native state. Of a daring and venturesome spirit, he started for California in 1844, going in a sailing vessel by way of the Isthmus of Panama. Arriving at his point of destination, he was engaged in mining until 1850, when he returned eastward as far as Indiana. Two years later, in 1852, Mr. Gable located in Hartford City, his present place of residence, as a cabinetmaker. In those early days he used to make coffins by hand from black walnut and had to go to Muncie to buy the linings for the coffins, oftentimes making the round trip on foot in twelve hours. He is now living retired from active pursuits, enjoying a well-earned leisure from business cares and troubles. During the Civil War Mr. Gable served valiantly in the Thirty-fourth Indiana Volunteer Infantry. He was identified with the Whig Party until 1856, when he joined the Republican ranks, and for many years he has been a valued member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is prominent in social organizations, belonging to both the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Ancient Free and Accepted Order of Mason. Mr. Stafford has three children, all born of his first marriage, namely Cora, wife of Frank McClain; Harry; and Viloa. He is a man of sterling qualities and has always enjoyed the fullest confidence and esteem of his neighbors and friends. In politics he is a Prohibitionist, and in religion is a member of the United Brethren Church. http://www.countyhistory.com/books/doc.dela3/index.html | STAFFORD, Samuel W. (I34788)

| 13758 | Samuel W. Stafford. An active, esteemed and thriving member of the agricultural community of Hamilton Township, Samuel W. Stafford is prosperously engaged in his independent vocation on Section 5, his well improved and judiciously cultivated farm being a model one in its appointments and equipments. A native of this township, he was born January 9, 1852, a son of the lat Thomas Stafford, Jr. His paternal grandfather, Thomas Stafford, Sr., was one of the early pioneers of Indiana, coming here from Ohio. The journey through the wilderness was made with a team, which was the most expeditious mode of traveling in those primitive days before the country was spanned by the network of railways that now render journeying so rapid and pleasant. Settling in the woods, the father cleared the land and was actively employed in tilling the soil the remainder of his years. Thomas Stafford, Jr., was born on January 1, 1819, in Clark County, Ohio, and died in Delaware County, Indiana. A child when his parents brought him here, he grew to manhood on the parental homestead, as a youth taking kindly to agricultural pursuits. Prudent and economical, he saved his earnings, and when ready to establish a household of his own purchased a tract of land that was still in its original wilderness, cleared a space, and on it erected a log cabin as his first dwelling. As a farmer he succeeded beyond his most sanguine expectations, in course of time becoming the owner of four hundred acres of good land, which he had earned through his own sturdy efforts. He added to the size of his cabin by additional rooms, and in it lived until his death. He was a man of honor and integrity, a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in politics a Whig. On January 20, 1846, he married Matilda J. Black, who was born in Clinton County, Ohio, and died on the home farm there. Of the five children born to them three survive, as follows Sylvester, living in Muncie, married Clara Gerard; Joseph M., of whom a brief sketch may be found elsewhere in this work; and Samuel W. Brought up on the parental homestead, Samuel W. Stafford had such educational advantages as were afforded by the pioneer schools of his district, which he attended three months each winter. On attaining his majority his father bought him eighty acres of heavily timbered land, built a two-room frame house for a domicile, and he began his career as an independent farmer. Meeting with encouraging success in his labors, Mr. Stafford has added by purchase to his original acreage, and has now a finely improved farm of one hundred and twenty acres, all but twenty of which he has himself cleared from its pristine wildness. In 1904 Mr. Stafford erected his present substantial frame residence, and is continuing his energetic labors as a tiller of the soil, carrying on general farming and stock raising with exceptionally good pecuniary results. Mr. Stanford married first, in 1871, Annie Flinn, who was born in this county, and here spent her entire life, dying in 1894. Her parents, James and Melissa (Taylor) Flinn, were born, bred and married in Miami County, Ohio, from there coming to Indiana and locating in Union Township as pioneers. Mr. Flinn was a man of much force of character, of Jeffersonian Democrat in politics, and, with his wife, belonged to the Christian Church. On January 6, 1898, Mr. Stafford married for his second wife Susan Oral Gable, who was born in Blackford County, Indiana, February 2, 1862, a daughter of William H. Gable. Mr. Gable was born in Pennsylvania eighty-two years ago and is now residing in Hartford City, Indiana, a strong and vigorous man of one of his years. He learned the trade of a cabinetmaker when young, and followed it for a time in his native state. Of a daring and venturesome spirit, he started for California in 1844, going in a sailing vessel by way of the Isthmus of Panama. Arriving at his point of destination, he was engaged in mining until 1850, when he returned eastward as far as Indiana. Two years later, in 1852, Mr. Gable located in Hartford City, his present place of residence, as a cabinetmaker. In those early days he used to make coffins by hand from black walnut and had to go to Muncie to buy the linings for the coffins, oftentimes making the round trip on foot in twelve hours. He is now living retired from active pursuits, enjoying a well-earned leisure from business cares and troubles. During the Civil War Mr. Gable served valiantly in the Thirty-fourth Indiana Volunteer Infantry. He was identified with the Whig Party until 1856, when he joined the Republican ranks, and for many years he has been a valued member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is prominent in social organizations, belonging to both the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Ancient Free and Accepted Order of Mason. Mr. Stafford has three children, all born of his first marriage, namely Cora, wife of Frank McClain; Harry; and Viloa.

| 13760 | Sarah Ann Stafford was born about 07 June 18311 in Indiana2 to Benjamin and Ruth Stafford nee Gifford.3 She died on 02 February 1869 in Morgan County, Indiana and was buried at William's Cemetery now located on Blue Bluff Road in Washington Township.1 Sarah Ann Stafford married Benjamin Martin Wall some time between 1850 when she was enumerated in her father's household and 1852 when her first child was born.2,3 Sarah and Benjamin Wall settled for a short time in Indiana. Their first child, a son was born in 1852 and lived less than 3 months when he died.1 He was buried at the Williams Cemetery where Sarah is buried. It was not long after his death that they left Indiana. Their son, Charles H. Wall was born in August of 1859 in Kansas.5 Again they did not stay there long after his birth as is evidenced by the cemetery marker in William's Cemetery for their daughter, Martha, who died in September 1863.1 After that time the Walls stayed in Indiana, which is documented by the birth place of their 4th child, a boy named Noah, who was born in about 1866 in Indiana.4 Sarah did not live to see her children become adults. She died in 1869 when Noah was only about 3 years old. After her death, Benjamin Wall married a lady named Maria Cox on 04 November 1870 in Morgan County, Indiana.6 The census documents that Benjamin and Maria lived in Morgan County at least through 1920. No other research has been done for this family. | STAFFORD, Sarah A. "Sally" (I64039)

| 13799 | STAFFORD, Joseph E. Joseph E. Stafford was born in Clarke County, Ohio, February 7, 1825, where he spent his early manhood and received his education. He was a millwright by trade, and followed his occupation while he remained in Ohio; but after coming to this county he abandoned his trade except to repair his own mill. He settled in this county in 1854, and jointly with his brother-in-law, Cyrus Pence, purchased the farm and mill of John W. Blair. In 1856 they divided the property, Mr. Stafford taking the farm, and Mr. Pence the mill. When he purchased the place there was a clearing of thirty acres, but no house. Mr. Stafford built a house, but as it was located on the mill property, it went with the mill. He built another house, as fine a one as there was in that part of the county. He was married May 25, 1856, to Mary J. Pence, daughter of Abner C. Pence and Anna J. (Bonnor) Pence. Her father was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, June 28, 1808, and when he was twenty-five years old he moved to Clarke County, Ohio, where he remained two years, then came to Clinton County, Indiana, and settled in Killmore, where he is still living at a ripe old age. The town of Killmore is situated on a portion of his farm. He was a millwright by trade, and followed it in Virginia, but not extensively after coming to this county. He had a general stock of dry-goods in Killmore for a short time. He resides with his son on the farm he first purchased. Mrs. Stafford's mother was born in Alabama, February 11, 1809. She moved to Ohio when a widow, having been married only six months when her first husband died. She married Mr. Pence in Clarke County, Ohio, and came with him to this county, where she died July 29, 1845. There were four children in the Pence family-Lucinda, born March 7, 1836, wife of Andrew Charles, and living in Jackson County Kansas; Mary J., born July 31, 1838, wife of our subject; Cyrus B., born April 15, 1841, is married and living in Killmore; and Martha A., born March 21, 1844. Mr. and Mrs. Stafford have had five children-Willis, born August 15, 1857, was married November 25, 1883, to Sarah H. Shanabarger; George S., born March 15, 1862, is unmarried; Joseph E., born February 4; 1864, married Emma Davidson in 1884; Pence, born May 10, 1866; all were born on the old homestead. Mr. Stafford died March 31, 1874, and was buried in Jefferson Cemetery. He was a great Republican worker, but did not seek public office. He came to this county with about $700, and left an estate worth $15,000. The Pences are of German ancestry. Mrs. Stafford's maternal grandmother's name was Christina Croburger.

He was a millwright by trade, and followed his occupation while he remained in Ohio; but after coming to this county he abandoned his trade except to repair his own mill. He settled in this county in 1854, and jointly with his brother-in-law, Cyrus Pence, purchased the farm and mill of John W. Blair. In 1856 they divided the property, Mr. Stafford taking the farm, and Mr. Pence the mill. When he purchased the place there was a clearing of thirty acres, but no house. Mr. Stafford built a house, but as it was located on the mill property, it went with the mill. He built another house, as fine a one as there was in that part of the county. He was married May 25, 1856, to Mary J. Pence, daughter of Abner C. Pence and Anna J. (Bonnor) Pence. Her father was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, June 28, 1808, and when he was twenty-five years old he moved to Clarke County, Ohio, where he remained two years, then came to Clinton County, Indiana, and settled in Killmore, where he is still living at a ripe old age. The town of Killmore is situated on a portion of his farm. He was a millwright by trade, and followed it in Virginia, but not extensively after coming to this county. He had a general stock of dry-goods in Killmore for a short time. He resides with his son on the farm he first purchased. Mrs. Stafford's mother was born in Alabama, February 11, 1809. She moved to Ohio when a widow, having been married only six months when her first husband died. She married Mr. Pence in Clarke County, Ohio, and came with him to this county, where she died July 29, 1845. There were four children in the Pence family-Lucinda, born March 7, 1836, wife of Andrew Charles, and living in Jackson County Kansas; Mary J., born July 31, 1838, wife of our subject; Cyrus B., born April 15, 1841, is married and living in Killmore; and Martha A., born March 21, 1844. Mr. and Mrs. Stafford have had five children-Willis, born August 15, 1857, was married November 25, 1883, to Sarah H. Shanabarger; George S., born March 15, 1862, is unmarried; Joseph E., born February 4; 1864, married Emma Davidson in 1884; Pence, born May 10, 1866; all were born on the old homestead. Mr. Stafford died March 31, 1874, and was buried in Jefferson Cemetery. He was a great Republican worker, but did not seek public office. He came to this county with about $700, and left an estate worth $15,000. The Pences are of German ancestry. Mrs. Stafford's maternal grandmother's name was Christina Croburger.
