  Notes	Per his obituary, published in the Ashland Daily Independent on 12-13 Dec. 1926, he was buried in the Catlettsburg Cemetery on 13 Dec. 1926. [NOTE: The following obits do not provide an accurate number of the children John had. There was one son born outside of marriage between him and Katherine Wallace (Isaac), and then with his first wife Perlina McCoy, he had 4 girls (Octavia, Louisa, Mary Ellen, and Lillie Elizabeth) and 8 boys (Lewis, Joseph, James Harrison, Fleming, John Frederick, Milton Burns, Edward, and Leo). He married again in old age to divorcee' Mrs. Malissa Stamper, and didn't have any children with his second wife. I do have documented death dates and places for most of these people, but if data is missing, it's because I do not know which cemetery some of them are buried in, or there are two cemeteries with the same name / same county and I don't know which of the two they are buried in, or the death certificate only indicated a county / town and not the specific cemetery. - ceilidh] The Ashland Independent Dec. 12, 1926, Pg. 14 CIVIL WAR VET DIES AT HOME John M.[s/b F.] Stafford, 82 year old Civil War veteran died at his home in Catlettsburg yesterday.

• Notes

  Died: Boone Co WV Death Register; 1964, Line # 1 James' death register entry states he was buried in the Brier Branch Cemetery in COSTA. Find-A-Grave would not allow me to enter the cemetery without a town name, and Costa was not one of the choices, so I had to use a town that was nearby. The cemetery is really in COSTA, WV, not Nellis.
