- Horace W. Stafford, THE STAFFORD FAMILIES OF OHIO AND INDIANA; 1066-1927; Springfield, OH, 1927; pp 24,26,78,135; Clark County Historical Society, Springfield, OH."The daughter, Elizabeth Stafford, who married ***GEORGE J. STAFFORD, was a resident of Pike Township, Clark County. She and her husband George, were the owners for many years of one of the most beautiful farms in that locality. On this farm were splendid buildings which still remain. A beautiful pear and peach orchard, which furnished hundreds of bushels of fruit for many years, was the attraction of that neighborhood. George J. Stafford preceded his wife in death a number of years. His wife, Elizabeth, for twelve years, was totally disabled physically and died on the homestead farm of James C. Stafford. They were much respected by the people in that community. Mr. Stafford was a stockman, and purchased nearly all the stock for sale within a radius of several miles of his residence. In those days, his place of shipment was Osborn, Ohio, a town located in Greene County. He was also a breeder of pedigreed Shorthorn cattle, and manifested much interest in horses, which was quite a fad in that day, and had a splendid race track on which to train them." [p 24]"The family of ***GEORGE J. STAFFORD and Elizabeth Stafford were for many years attendants at McKendree Church and among the leading members of the community in which they resided. They had many friends. When they resided in their old home on the farm, it was one of the places where many gatherings and parties were held. [p 26]"The son, ***GEORGE J. STAFFORD, heretofore mentioned, married Elizabeth Stafford, a daughter of James Stafford known as 'Squire Jimmie.' Their children were Joel Stafford, Emma S. Black, Mary M. Deaton and Anna Sutton, each of whom have been spoken of as children of Elizabeth Stafford." [p 78]
