Hi Tammy, Phoebe Elizabeth Stinson, b. 1895 was first married to Henry Stinson, son of Robert Owen Stinson, they had one daughyer, Eula Lee, Eula lived only a few months. Henry died and is buried in the Rock Creek Cemetery. Phoebe then married James "Jim" Rance Beasley, my husband's mother's Beasley family. Jim Beasley was the father of Joseph Leablon Beasley, married to Lottie Ritchey, who gave me much of the information I have on the Beasley family, including Phoebe. We have many Stinson/Beasley relatives in the county, especially those descended from Jim Beasley and Phoebe Stinson. Their daughter, Betty Delorres, is still living as is other family members. Williamson, Tenn. is listed throughout the book on many of the early Stinson family members. There is much information on the Stinson families of Bowie County in a book, "Our Stinson's, Ulery and Edna Stinson, printed in 1981 by Ulery, Edna and Ronald Stinson, 1015 South Main Street, Columbia, Tenn. 38401. Ronald Stinson was living at this residence the last time I called him. For more information on the availability of this book, he can be reached at: 931-364-7774. This is a hardbound book, 520 pages. I purchased mine in 1990, the last I heard there were a few left. I have also heard since there another book was being considered, but havne't been notified of anything lately on the topic. Three are 117 "James" Stinson, no Neelia Reed listed. If you can give me more information, I'll be glad to check for your James Stinson.
