• Notes

  John was married by license February 17, 1825, to Margaret Nicolls (born Northern Ireland) in St Thomas, Ontario, by Rev Alexander Mackintosh. Witnesses were Arthur Nicolls (Margaret's brother), John Hamilton (John's brother-in-law by his sister Mary) and Caleb Stafford (John's father).  John Barnard Stafford's mother was Amy Barnard, born in Tolland, Connecticut. Her family traces back to Richard Warren, who came on the Mayflower and settled Plymouth Colony. John was born in Bethel, Vermont and immigrated with his parents and siblings to Southwold township, Elgin County, Ontario. According to census records he was a farmer and weaver.  John and Margaret's children were Amy, Catherine Margaret, Abel, Elizabeth, Caleb, Ralph, Mary Jane, Olive, Richard Nicoll, Cyrus W, and Charilla. There is also an Emma Stafford listed with the family in the 1852 census, age 24. She is not listed in the 1953 short family history written by two granddaughters of Catherine Margaret Stafford, who married Samuel Peter Hamm.
