| Notes |
Gadius and Lydia Stafford moved to Auburn Twp, Geauga Co. OH in 1824 and purchased of Perkins, just east of the center, on the Kirtland tract. They lived there until 1838 and then moved to Chardon Twp. They may have moved to Hillsdale Co, Wheatland Twp MI about 1842 (1846 in one account) but are shown in Chardon OH for the 1850 Census. They apparently lived on their son Abraham's farm in Wheatland Twp, Hillsdale Co. MI where both apparently died.
The Military History of Wayne Co., NY by Lewis H. Clark lists Gadias Stafford as a private in Captain George Culver's Company, Thirty-ninth Infantry in June and July of 1812. After the opening of the war, the company was apparently re-organized - members being discharged and others enlisted.
The Northeastern Ohio account says Gadius was a soldier in the War of 1812. Gadias, David, Thomas, Tile, and William Stafford served in 39th Regiment (Howell"s) New York Militia. It also places his death in 1865 at age 75 with would mean he was born in 1787 not 1789. However Hillsdale Co MI Burials - as identified by Marker or Record place his death as 2 Jul 1862 at age 71.
I found the following blip on page 150 of the History of Wayne Co., New York concerning Joseph Smith Jr.:
"He formed an organization denominated "Latter Day Saints." They are enumerated as Oliver Cowdery, Samuel Lawrence, Martin Harris, Preserved Harris, Peter Ingersol, Charles Ford, George and Dolly Proper, of Palmyra, Zilba Peterson, Calvin Stoddard and wife Sophronia, of Macedon, Ezra Thayer, of Brighton, Leeman Walters, Of Pultneyville, Hiram Page, of Fayette, David Whitmer, Jacob Whitmer, as well as Christian, John and Peter Jr., of Phelps, Simeon Nichols, of Farmington, William, Joshua and Gad Stafford, David and Abram Fish, Robert Orr, K. H. Quance, John Morgan, Orrin and Caroline Rockwell, Mrs. S. Risley, and the Smith Family." As this was about 1827, there is a conflict with the 1824 date of Gadius being in Ohio.
However, there is a record of Gadius selling land in Ontario Co., New York to a Russel Stoddard in 1828. Russel Stoddard also bought land from Abraham Stafford in 1823.
