Do you have these names? Some of the family spelled her (Julia) name Jewelly. See notes under Walter Mr.Staton,I have been trying to find out more about my husband's mother's side of the family and I hope you might be able to point me in the right way. His mom was Pricillia Louise Staton she was born in WVA.11/16/1925 to Delphin Staton and Eula Belcher.Delphin was born to Walter Massey Staton and Lilly Willis on 4/14/1907 in WVA.,Walter Massey Staton was born to Zacharias Staton/Staten and Julia ?[, I was told her maiden name was Bias but I am not sure] on 4/28/1885 in Elkton,VA. this is as far as I can get,there seems to be nothing on Zacharias or his wife.I am also wondering about Walter's middle name it is quite odd. I read some of your queries and thought mybe you might be able to help.Any help would be appreciated.Thank you for your time.
