How do i contact the person who posted this obituary . I am trying to find them . They are part of our line . Thank you . Lorene
Hi Lorene,
I am the one who posted it, however I recieved it from another distant cousin of mine. I am related to them through Starling Stapelton’s mother Drucilla Allen Stapleton. She was a sister to my 3x great grandfather James Allen of Scott County VA.
How is it that you connect?
I have questions for you if any of these names are in your line please contact me.
William Henry Stapleton 1846 in Russell County,Va.His father was Charles Stapleton.William married Elsie Bledsoe abt 1870.They had the following children:
William Columbus Stapleton 01/1887 Scott County,Va.
Lee Stapleton 09/1891
Nebraska Stapleton 1891 or 1893
Hattie Stapleton 08/03/1891 married (Joe)Joesph Curtis Patterson she died 05/11/1946
Margaret Stapleton(my Granny,my Father’s mother) 07/09/1902 married 1922 to John Corbet Caldwell from Pound,Va.
Viola Stapleton 1907
Does any of these names ring a bell? If so please contact me mysmithnotes@yahoo.com
The Starling Randolph Stapleton in this obit was the son of James Emmit Stapleton b. abt 1867 (age on marriage record indicates 1871, but he was 13 on the 1880 census…) who married Drucilla Allen b. 1873.
James Emmit Stapleton was the son of Jessie Stapleton and Dicy Thomas.
My connection with this family comes in with the marriage of James Emmit to Drucilla Allen, as I said she was the sister of my ggg grandfather James Allen. So I don’t have a whole lot on the Stapleton’s.
Unfortunaltly the email for man who is the grandson of Starling and Drucilla Allen no longer works. He lives in Kingsport TN, but I don’t know how much more he knows past his James Emmit though.
Wish I could be more help.
