Dear Joanne, My husband's g-g-aunt, Emily Jane Beeson, married Thomas L. Stanfield in Decatur 16 July 1867. They had a daughter named Annie Lee Stanfield, b. 14 June 1868. That is all the information that I have. Does this family connect with your family? Janet Gough McMurray
YES!! Hooray!! You are the first person I've had contact with who had even the vaguest connection with descendants of W.W.O. Stanfield (Thomas Liddle Stanfield's father)!! I have information that Thomas's daughter was named Jesse, and she is one of the first members of the Daughters of the Texas Revolution. Apparently there were two daughters--I don't have any information about Annie Lee, but I'll try to run her down! I finally got discouraged from not being about to go any further on the Stanfield line than my own that I'll have to do some digging to refresh my memory. My grandmother (Ruby Stanfield, 1889-1986) grew up and taught school (until 1910, when they moved) around Wise County (Chico and Bowie that I know of) and talked about her many cousins in that area (Gardners, Stanfields, Ramsdales, and others). I've always thought it incredible that out of that many children and descendants of those chirldren that it seems I'm the only one interested in genealogy! Thank you, thank you again, for contacting me!! -Joanne ----- Original Message ----- From: <Tcmcmurray@aol.com> To: <TXWISE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 08, 2004 11:58 PM Subject: Re: [TXWISE-L] Stanfield > Dear Joanne, > My husband's g-g-aunt, Emily Jane Beeson, married Thomas L.
