• Notes

  Bennie was the son of Charles Alexander Stafford and Sallie Stovall Stafford of Mississippi. He married Sarah Delores "Lora" Penn about 1899 in Texas, either near Cedar Hill or in Silverton. They had two children, Charles Alexander Stafford and Aletha Mae Stafford Tune. Their mother "Lora" died March 27, 1904 and these two little ones lived with their grandparents John Wesley Penn and Beatrice Ann Trees Penn, until 1913. At that time they joined their father in Dallas County, near Cedar Hill. Bennie never remarried. Benjamin James Stafford's ancestors were Neill Stafford from Kintyre, Argyll, Scotland and his wife Rosanna McNeill from Marion County, South Carolina. "Granddaddy Ben" was a gentle soul, with blue eyes, and flaming red hair. He is affectionately remembered by his family. May you rest in peace, Gloria
