I can add a little additional information about the FRITTER - STONE marriage in the list of Stafford County marriages so helpfully transcribed by Hollye. ALLEN GARRISON FRITTER was born 5 July 1858 in Stafford County, Virginia1, and died 8 May 1912 in Stafford County, Virginia. He married EMMA JANE STONE2 16 January 1882 in Stafford County, Virginia2. She was born May 1860 in Virginia3, and died Aft. 13 January 1920 in Stafford County, Virginia. The marriage record says that Emma Jane was the daughter of George Stone. I do not know whether this is correct. In the 1880 census, she is listed as daughter in the household of Fielding Barton Stone. She is not listed in the household of Fielding and Ann K. (Schooler) Stone in the 1860 census, though if she was really born in May 1860 she should have been. The 1870 census of Stafford County, Virginia, shows F. B. Stone (41), a farmer with $2000 in real property and $250 in personal property. Ann M. (39) is keeping house. Morison V. (28) and Emma (9) live with them. So if she is the child of George Stone, he must have let her live in the Fielding Barton Stone household. Stafford County records show that Allen G. Fritter was born on 5 July 1858 in that county to James and Sarah Fritter. His father, a farmer living in Stafford County, reported Allen's birth (p. 23, line 10). The 1900 census puts Allen's birth in July 1857. The 1900 census of Stafford County, Virginia, lists Allen G. Fritter (42) as a farmer in the Rock Hill District. He was born in July 1857 and has been married for 17 years to Emma J. (40, born in May 1860). She has had 6 children, all of them living: Harvey N. (16, a farm laborer, born in September 1883), Herman A. (14, born in March 1885, attending school), Mitchell G. (13, born in September 1886, in school), Elwood T. (10, born in June 1889, in school), Ethel M. (7, born in July 1892), and Vera E. (1, born in October 1898). They all are listed as born in Virginia to parents born in Virginia (page 9A, e.d. 90, household 167). The 1910 census of Stafford County, Virginia, lists Alley G. Fritter (50) with his wife Emma (49). They have been married for 28 years, the first marriage for each. "Alley" is a farmer in the Rock Hill area. Emma has had 6 children, all of whom are living. At home are daughter Ethel J. (15), son Herman (25), who is working as a clerk at "Corby bread" and is listed as married for 1 year with no children, and daughter Vera (11). They all report being born in Virginia (ED 107, p. 6B, household 103). Robert Kerns, a FRITTER researcher, posted this information online: Allie Garrison Fritter died on 8 May 1912 in Stafford, VA. Allie married Emma Jane Stone. She died after 1924. The 1920 census of Stafford County, Virginia, lists Emma J. Fritter (56) as the widowed head of her household in the Rock Hill District. Her daughter Ethel (29) is single (e.d. 114, p. 6B, household 129, enumerated on 13 January 1920). Notes 1. Stafford County Births, reel #45. 2. Carl P.
