Mother is Nancy Stapleton. They lived in Wise Co., VA. In 1800, that was Russell Co., VA. I lean toward the theory that Nancy is their mother. Now whether she was an unmarried Stapleton, or the wife of an Isaac Sr., an Andrew Sr., or William - I do not know. I copies an old deed one time from the loose records that was a land transaction in about 1820 involving James Anderson, Mark Anderson, Isaac Stapleton and William Stapleton as best I recall. I will find that and post it. Doug
