Notes

Regarding JOHN Stafford who married Catherine. I'm not positive John is a son of James & Polly, because he might not have come to Fayette Co. with the original wagon train in 1832. But, if he didn't arrive with the original group, it is possible that as they were traveling along, John met his true love in Moore County, NC.
