• Notes

  H. W. Beckwith (Chicago: HH Hill) History of Montgomery County, 1881 Thomas Stafford, was born in Dublin, Ireland, whither his parents had gone from England for the transaction of business in the fine linen trade. When Thomas was three years old (1790) his parents came to America and settled in Giles County, Virginia. Here Thomas was raised on a farm, and in manhood became quite a stock dealer. In 1812 he fought in the battle of Norfolk. Later he emigrated to Fountain County, Indiana (1832), near Attica, where he died September 16, 1847. He had been an active member in the Methodist Church, and was chorister for many years. His wife, Ruth Neel, daughter of John B. Neel, Esq., of Monroe County, Virginia, a member of the same Church from girlhood, died April 24, 1854, at the age of sixty-four years. Both had lived good lives, and died peaceful deaths. Mrs. Stafford's father, John Neel, was quartermaster-sergeant, and a hero in the battle of Bunker Hill. Born: Or Co. Tyronne, Ireland.
