I am so sorry but I believe that I butchered the information I sent on William STAPLETON. "My" William STAPLETON was born about 1782 and died about 1814-1818 and is buried on Copperidge, Cantwell Valley, Hawkins County, Tennessee. He married to Elizabeth Rachel SIZEMORE, dau of Owen Sr., and Elizabeth "Alcey" (Bingham)SIZEMORE. His widow did in fact remarry on 18 February, 1819, in Hawkins County, Tennessee, to Larkin WILLIS. I'm afraid that I don't qualify as a descendant of Revolutionary war soldier, William STAPLETON... Now, here is th rub: There was another William STAPLETON who was born in 1760 and served in the Revolutionary War. He did in fact have ties to Hawkins/ Hancock Counties, Tennessee, through a dau, Elizabeth H. "Eliza" who married a LIVESAY. This William STAPLETON married to a Mary BROWN.
