1811 in , , Ohio, USA.(4) She died on
2 May 1838 in Washington Twp, Morgan, Indiana, USA.
(4) She has reference number AD_2995. !BIRTH:
Since son, Emanuel STAFFORD, was born in 1825, her birth
would have probably been around 1800 as a guess. 1880 cen-
sus, Urbana, Champaign County, Ohio for her son, Emanuel
STAFFORD, shows her birth to have been in Ohio.

It is interesting to note that in the heading of this census
page 28 - "G. Stafford, Ass't Marshal"
!DEATH:
Studying the above census, children were born at regular interva ls
until after 1839 which would indicate the probAbility that Mary
Moffett died about 1838 and that Grant Stafford remarried Fanny
Gregory about 1844.
!CONFLICT:
IGI record shows Sarah's birth as 1 Aug 1833 while the 1850
census would indicate 1834. Since the census was taken 24
Sep 1850 this is probably an allowable error.She was married to
Grant Stafford on 27 Sep 1827 in , Morgan, Indiana, USA. Children were:
Emanuel W. Stafford, Wiley Stafford

What little is known is from personal information of this

WEAVER and his partner in the vaudeville act of Stafford &

Upon retiring from the stage, they moved to San Diego,
California, and as far as this compiler knows, they both
died there possibly in the 1940s. They had no children.

I have info on family members, mostly from Ohio if you
want it. I hope this filled in some blanks for you.
There has always been "hear say" that Thomas was our
great great granddad, but I have found no proof of this
at all. There are absolutely no records that tell who
Elizabeth was married to. Do you have proof of your
Thomas? If so, that is the info I've been looking for
for twenty years! (But if you got it from Olive Smith's
book, it was hear say, info given by my father and not
documented info.) She has many things wrong in her
book. I wrote her with info of Robert's other wives
and she refused it saying her line was correct and
complete!
Thank you for writing. I hope that you can make this
out. Write again.

(1868-1954), granddaughter of Grant STAFFORD. .
!ANOMALY(1):
There is no mention of an A.B. Stafford in Effie Stafford's
notes mentioned above. The census above is the only refer-
ence found thus far by this compiler. Parents: Grant
Stafford and Mary (Polly) Moffett.He was married
to Pheriba Breedlove after 1860 in Morgan County, Indiana.
Marriage is listed in the Martinsville IN newspaper article concernin g Grant
Stafford, father of Amos, entitled A Short History of the Lif e of Grant Stafford,
of Olden Times and His Family. A photocopy of t his article which was obtained
from the Martinsville, Morgan County P ublic Library will be found in this compiler's
ahnentafel file folde r #20-5 for Grant Stafford. No date is given in the article
by M. W . Gregory, who was apparently a descendant of the Gregory family of w
hich Grant's second wife, Frances (Fanny) Gregory was a member.
Benjamin
Stafford(1) was born on 28 May 1810
in Paint Twp, Highland Co., Ohio, USA. He died on 25 Mar 1891 in Clay Twp, Morgan
Co., Indiana, USA. From the History of Morgan County, Indiana, copied from biographica
l sketches, page 269, Clay Township (photocopies received from the Mo rgan County
Public Library in 1998):
BENJAMIN STAFFORD, pioneer farmer of this county, was born in Highlan d County,
Ohio, May 28, 1810, and is the third of seven children bor n to Robert and Sarah
(Bullick) Stafford, natives of North Carolina , and of English ancestry. Benjamin
accompanied his parents from Ohi o to Indiana in 1818. They located in Monroe
County, and remained the re until March, 1820, at which time the family came
to this county . The county was then a wilderness, and was not then organized,
th e Indians roaming at their sweet pleasure through the leafy forests.
Robert entered land, and made a home in the wilderness, amid bears, w olves,
panthers and other wild animals, and, with the poorest advanta ges for an education,
Benjamin grew to manhood. On Febrauary 15, 1830 , he was married to Ruthie Gifford,
a native of Indiana, and a daught er of Jesse and Sarah (Marshall) Gifford. They
had one child, Sarah ( deceased), and the mother dying, Mr. Stafford was married
to Margare t Price on March 17, 1835. Eight children were born to this union,
o f whom six are living-Nancy J. (Woods), John, Marion, William, Benjam in, Bernard
and Grant. Mrs. Stafford having departed this life, Mr . Stafford was agin married.
He took for his third wife, Mrs. Susan F ry, by whom he has had seven children,
of whom six are living-Mary (P assor), James, Priscilla (McKinley), Martha (Myrick),
Emeline (Gooch ) and Oliver P.M. Mr. Stafford and wife are members of the Methodis
t Episcopal Church. Mr. Stafford began life by clearing out a farm i n the wilderness,
and enduring great privations. He has succeeded, an d now owns seventy acres
in this township. He alone has made from th e green woods the home which he now
occupies. His only help has bee n a faithful and saving wife, who has been indeed
a helpmeet(sic) i n all his struggles and adversities. Although Mr. Stafford
is sevent y-three years of age, he has a robust constitution and promises to
li ve many years of usefulness in the township which he has helped to bu ild
up. He is very strong in Christian faith, and faithful in the per formance of
his duties, and has read his Bible through nearly fifty t imes during the last
twelve years. He could not read a word until h e was forty years old. Mr. Stafford
is much prized as a good neighbo r and citizen, and is fully appreciated in the
community in which h e has moved so long. Parents: Robert
Stafford and Sarah Bullock.He was married to
Margaret Price on 17 Mar 1835 in Morgan County, Indiana,
USA.

She was a professional woman with a successful insurance

Stafford and Mary Ann Breedlove.
Emanuel
W. Stafford(1) was born on 1 Sep 1825.
He was buried in Aug 1892 in Oak Dale Cem., Champaign, Ohio, USA. He died on
5 Aug 1892 in Kingman, , Kansas, USA. He has reference number A10. !BIRTH:
1 SEP 1825 (Stafford Bible). 1880 census indicates Ohio.
A problem exists when assuming that the Bible record is
correct. His father, Grant, married Mary Moffett in Morgan
County, Indiana, 3 Sep 1827, where Emanuel's siblings were
born. The next oldest, Wiley, was born in 1828 in Indiana.
Is it possible that there was a previous marriage in Ohio
where Emanuel was born?
!MARRIAGE:
MRIN8 - Emanuel and his sister Mary STAFFORD RIN106 in a
double wedding on 10 October 1856, married respectively
sister and brother, Mary Anne BREEDLOVE RIN11 and David C.
BREEDLOVE RIN112. (Marriage micro film #F-31 Urbana Ohio
Library)
!DEATH:
5 AUG 1892 (confirmed by headstone and Stafford Bible). He
was living in Kingman, Kansas where he raised cattle at time
of death. It is family story that he was on a cattle buying
trip to Texas when he died. Body returned to Urbana OH for
burial. (see SOURCE 1 below)
!BURIAL:
Stafford lot, Oak Dale Cemetery, Urbana, Ohio
!RESIDENCES:
Neither Emanuel, nor his father Grant show in the 1850
census index for Ohio indicating that they might not yet
have come to Ohio. Since the above marriage occurred in
1856, arrival was a little after 1850. This supposition is
not supported by the 1880 census which indicated both
father and son were born in Ohio.
The will of his father, Grant Stafford, dated 27(?) Mar 1852
states that Emanuel was in California at that time.
!CENSUS(1):
City of Urbana 1870 shows him age 45 retired - his wife - 4
daughters - his wife's mother, Mary - age given as 67.
(Stafford Bible gives her birth year as 1800 indicating
incorrect census data. Also her mother, Elizabeth HARE died
in 1803.) Also a Scott W. STAFFORD, age 17, born in Indi-
ana (1853) later identified as brother of Emanuel STAFFORD
named Scott RIN107, born 1829, Washington Twp, Morgan County,

Since son, Emanuel STAFFORD, was born in 1825, his birth
would have probably been around 1800 as a guess. 1880 cen-
sus, Urbana, Champaign County, Ohio for his son, Emanuel
STAFFORD, shows his birth to have been in Ohio. It is also
confirmed by the 1850 census below authenticated by the
fact that Grant Stafford, himself, was the census enumerator.
That census confirms his birth year as 1804. Later research
indicates birth 18 Feb 1803 in Highland County, Ohio, Paint Twp

(Note: It was through this Indiana listing for Scott W. that
led this compiler to search Indiana for the Grant Stafford
families. Scott would have been a half-brother, son of Grant
Stafford's second wife, Fanny Gregory.)
!CHECK:
Whether first wife died or if there were a divorce is not
known. However, there was a listing in the 1850 Washington
Twp, Morgan County, Indiana census for a Mary Stafford, b. abt
1815 head of a family of 5 children. It is doubtful that this
was the former Mary MOFFETT, Grant Stafford's first wife. It i s more
probable that she was the widow of Grant's brother, James, sinc e her
oldest child was named, James
It is noted that the mother of his second wife, Fanny
Gregory was Lucy Jones (Lucinda) Moffet. Could Lucy have
been a sister of his first wife, Mary Moffett? The Gregory
pedigree chart shall be filed in Grant Stafford ahnentafel
folder #20.
