• Notes

  Was elected selectman of Danby, VT, in 1774. In 1798 he said to have sold his property in Vermont and moved to Plattsburgh, Clinton co, NY. A sea faring man. A genealogy by Ruth Stafford has him born in 1726 and married to Thankful Bratton, daughter of William Bratton of Rhode Island. It also has him as the son of William Stafford, a tailor,, one of three brothers who immigrated to Rhode Island about 1720. The other brothers were Henry, a sea captain and Job a weaver. She assigns four sons; Rowland, John, Palmer and Stutely and one daughter, Thankful to this family. More research is needed to resolved this conflict. Ruth may be wrong or the families of two Thomas Staffords may have blended.
