• Notes

  Rowland Nelson Stafford was born 1813 in Ontario. He is buried in Stafford cemetary. He married Lucy Giffin of Ontario, Canada sometime before 1841. Lucy and Rowland declared on Canadian census records their religious affiliation was with the Canada Methodist Episcopal Church. Lucy was the daughter of Dwight Giffin and Elizabeth Bates. The Giffin family had several patriot soldiers serve in the Revolutionary War. The Giffin line originated most likely in Northern Ireland (probably Belfast, although Ballymena has been said to be the original settlement of Giffins.) It is also possible that this line of Giffins came from Scotland. Rowland Stafford's ancestral origins are yet unknown (to this researcher), but it is most likely his line was English. Husband Rowland & wife Lucy had the following children:
