The surname I am researching is Stafford. Information I have
says that James Stafford was born in Scott Co. KY., I do not have a date.
I do have a date for his son, Simeon Stafford, June 16, 1800. I have
been told there is a book entitled "The History of the Stafford Family"
written by Hattie Stafford in 1936. Does anyone have knowledge of
this family or this book? I would like to see a copy of this book.
James was married to Mary Leech. Simeon was married to Nancy HILES.
