May I request a look up for William Jennings Stafford, born abt. 1896 He lived out most of his life in Victoria Co. I have no idea who his parents were, he was possibly a son or grandson of Adam Stafford but I need to confirm this. I do know he married first Victoria Davidson, they had a son Charles in 1919, then he married Bessie Ball, they had Edwin Jennings in 1929, Rose Emaline in 1927 and William Emmery. I really need to find the parents of William Jennings though so the look up is needed in the year 1910 or 1900. Thanks in advance! Robby --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Robby, I am not absolutely sure this is your people, but it is the only Stafford I can find that fits your William Jennings. I still have no idea if he could be the grandson of Adam though. Have not found him in 1910. There is a 1900 entry for Emmery Stafford in Delaware Co., IN, Muncie, wife Jossiephien with several step-children, a son Charles 5 and a son William 2. You can send a query to IN-CEN for that information. 1920 Victoria Co., TX, JP 1, Victoria Co. Poor Farm, April 8, 1920, ED 148, Sheet 14a E. W.

Should I spot him in 1910, will let you know.
