• Notes

  Note: Many records have alternate spelling "Compton" This was the first Cumpton Stafford. -------- From descendent Bill Stafford, < [email protected]> "Compton Stafford first married Ellender McCoy 22 April 1833 Pike Co, Ky Marriage Bonds, and they had 8 children... Then on 18 Aug. 1866 he married Eliza Brewer in Lawrence Co, Ky Marriage Bond, who was the dau. of Isaac Brewer and Elizabeth Mead... I don't know what happened to Ellender, she is in the 1860 Pike Co census, but can't find her after that, so I assume she died and then in 1866 he married Eliza who was divorced from Jacob Marcum. I have both marriage bonds for Compton. "... I found where Compton/Cumpton is buried, and his stone says he was born in 1815 and he died 14 July 1890. He's buried in Breeden, Logan Co. (now Mingo) WV. It is very hard to read but you can make out the death date and also the 1815 birth date." -------- By 1880, Cumpton had moved to Breeden, WV, and was in the Logan County census, at Hardee District #26. He was 65, wife Eliza 55, daughter Sarah A. 43, and (adopted) son Robert, age 9.
