Robert J. Clark Wed Sep 10 07:26:19 1997
I am just starting out to trace my roots. My maternal grandparents Robert Daniel Webber and Sadie Stringer Webber have passed away and I have no contact beyond that. Their children were Mary Eliza, Estella and Robert William. My great-grandfather was R.D. Webber. I am looking for anything on my paternal side. I had an aunt, sister of my dad's mother, Bertha Stanley who resided at Indian Run. I understand the Stanleys had Indian ancestors. i would be especially interested in that. If anyone out there can help me put the pieces of the puzzle together, I will appreciate it more than you can know. I heard family names of relatives in my youth such as aunt Annie Tattersall, and Fields.

Pete Stafford Fri Sep 26 06:05:42 1997
My great great grandparents were James Stafford and Muhulda (Hulda) Blankenship. 1880 census indicates that they were both from Virginia, maybe in this case, West Virginia. I'm attempting to do the geneaology of the Stafford family, but am unable to go back past James Stafford. James and Hulda came to KY (Elliott Cty) and lived on what is now known as Stafford Branch. They had a large family, 2 sons and 6 or more daughters. I have all of the names of the descendents of these children. Would be glad to share them with anyone interested. But my primary problem is where was James Stafford from?

I do not know his father's name. I would appreciate any and all assistance with this search. I am the daughter of MILTON SLOAS of Elliott County and SINDA ELDRIDGE-SLOAS. Everyone knew my parents by the names of Milt and Sindy, lived mostly around Sandy Hook, KY.
