Posted by Susan Smith:

As I pointed out yesterday, the old Bird L. Stafford Bible names his parents. "Bird Stafford was born the 30th day of September 1796. Lucy Stafford, his wife, was born January 31, 1798. William Stafford, father of the above Bird was born July 1770. Salley Stafford, the wife of the above William and the mother of the above Bird was born 19 day of June . . ."
Bird's children are named on subsequent pages of the Bible, including Andrew Jackson Stafford born 19 August 1831. Among the deaths listed was Lucy Parker, mother of Lucy Stafford, died March 17, 1833.

The above William Stafford, being a son of Laban Stafford, puts you
correctly listed under Laban Stafford on the Genealogy page.

I must stop now and get ready for work.
Talk with you later.
Thanks,
Susan
