• Notes

  Daughter Mrs. Betty Parker Kase believes that James McCains mother was named Elizabeth and according to her, he had a brother he visited in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He died when his daughter was about 7 in 1899 or 1900. Based on dates it was probably he that served in the Civil War and had the Civil War Sword given to Jeff Kopf. In looking at Surviving Soldiers, Sailors and Mariines, and Widows, Etc. of the Pittsburg, Allegheny Co. Pennsylvania Census of June, 1890 a James Stafford is listed as a deck-hand serving on the Ship named the Lionell Dick Fulton for one year and was in the Bat. Memphis, Tenn. Also listed is a John Stafford, probable that this is his brother. John Stafford is listed as Pilot of the U.S. Springfield and served Oct 1863 - Aug 1865 and served on Vernon Vessel on Miss. River. Both Staffords are living at the same address of 402 Wylie Ave. Pittsburg, PA Elizabeth Jane Stafford Parker attempted to have a genealogist trace him in America and back to England where he came from but drew a blank. According to Betty Parker Case, "As I remember the birth certificate (James McCain Stafford) was colorful - decorated with Pennsylvania Dutch special looking patterns - very quaint and pretty, mother asked for it back" An 1850 PA Census lists Margaret Stafford 33 John Stafford 15 Mary Stafford 12 Thomas Stafford 9 James Stafford 6
