Sandra I lost out on part of this conversation, but here is a site that has over 1600 Stanfields in it and I noticed some of those names you mentioned. http://www.my-ged.com/stnfield/ My ancesters the Cody's and Roberts were in Wise County at one time around 1880.

Hello Sandra, Would you be refering to Milton Benjamin Stanfield ((1841-1897)? The Elizabeth I have is Sarah Emma Elizabeth Stanfield (1867-1892), who married W.S. Woodward and is buried at the Aurora cemetery. Maybe John Gordon Stanfield was one of their children--I'd love to find out who the Stanfield children were--all i know about are Robert Wilshier Stanfield's children and descendants. -Joanne ----- Original Message ----- From: <NtSsperry@netscape.net> To: <TXWISE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 06, 2004 8:15 AM Subject: Re: [TXWISE-L] Early Wise Co. > Noted you said you knew the Stanfields.

I did not know their parents name, I saw them, and I cannot remember the boys name, are even the girls. When you are almost 78, it's hard to remember peoples names. I did in the past remember all the girls and boys. Billy

Noted you said you knew the Stanfields. I was wondering if you knew the children of M. B. Stanfield and Elizabeth (nee?, m/1, John Gordon) Stanfield? I think they had two daughters.

If anyone out there has any information on this family please notify me by e-mail HI... I do not know of this family, but I strongly suspect that if your Grandmother was put ip for adoption it was at the Edna Gladney home. You can contact the post adoption unit there. Also, you might contact the post adoption unit of the state, and they can tell you for certain. Was she ever actually adopted, or just placed in service (which Gladney did to a lot children)? Good luck, J.L. Shepard

My great grandfather, Henry Hawkins Fields, lived around Decatur from about 1880 until his death in 1909. He ran a livery stable there. He had a whole bunch of kids, and I descended from Wilson T Fields. I haven't used this website before. I would appreciate any type of input on either him or possibly some old pictures of the area during this time. Thanks! Gene Fields Arkadelphia, AR gjrafie@cox-internet.com

My Great-grandfather, Samuel Martin West, was a rural mail carrier around Bridgeport from around 1907-1834. At first he delivered the mail with his horse and buggy. Later in a Model-T. In the winter time different people on Papa West's route would heat flat rocks on their hearth and put them in his buggy for him to warm his feet. They would carry in the cold rock that was in the buggy and put it by the hearth for another day. These rocks went all over Wise County. What a wonderful story of community!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ione R.

I knew the Stanfields, that lived in Bridgeport, there were several girls, that was older than me. There was one boy in the family, I went to school with him, and worked with him in the birckyard. Billy

I am looking for information on the Green family who lived in Bridgeport. My great grandmother, Mattie Jones married W N or W M Green in 1891. Anyone know of this Green family? Also searching for Elliott, Hallum, and Maginnis in Chico, Bridgeport area. Thanks! Trudy Jones-Zahn researching Wilson, Pennington, Malcolm, Jones, Hallum, Weatherby, Zion, Roop, Elliott

Dear Billy, You seem to be a fountain of information! This is way before your time, but my grandmother (Ruby Stanfield) taught school in or around Chico--started in 1906. Do you happen to remember any people with the last names Stanfield, Gardner, or Ramsdale? I know Robert Stanfield (my great-grandfather) moved away in 1910, but there were a lot of other Stanfields around there that stayed in the area. Sarah Emma Stanfield married W.S. Woodward and had children who might have been parents of some of your friends. Or not. But thought i'd ask!
