• Notes

  Alexander Stafford (AMS), according to Gary Stafford ([email protected]), is buried in Concord Cemetery, McLeansboro, Hamilton Co., IL, along with his wife Artemissa (Wheeler). AMS was born 5 Apr 1832, and died 30 Dec 1906. This info comes from ALEXANDER's Tombstone as well as from James Franklin Stafford's (JFS) Funeral Book. JFS is Gary Stafford's great grandfather. JFS' funeral book also shows that Elizabeth Monroe and James Stafford were JFS's grand parents. AMS is listed in the 1900 Federal Census, Illinois, Hamilton Co., Other Townships, Enumeration district # 54, p 7A, family 137, dwelling 137, lines 47-50. The 1880 Federal Census, SAA except for McLeansboro, Enumeration District #26, p. 34/35 dwelling 307, family 307, lines 47-50 and 1-4. This census lists his wife, Artemissa, and children 1. Augusta, (who is Florence Augusta), 2. Franklin J. (who is James Franklin, Gary's great grandfather, 3. Fanney? (the spelling is hard to read but is Annie Maria, and Emma, Fleda A., and Alice A. who, according to Gary, are something of a mystery at present. Gary also has a newspaper obituary's showing that Alec (AMS' nickname) is the father of Augusta, JFS, and Annie Maria. Census: Listed as a farmer with a daughter and son. A possible common law wife is listed and other Stafford children are listed (shown as possibly their children).
