Hello, I am new to this list and would like to introduce my ancestors: I am descended from Josiah Josias STONE, (b.1725 England, d.~1790 Stafford Co., VA) via his son Spilsby STONE,(b.1742, Stafford Co., VA, d. Oct 1818, Nelson Co., KY) via his daughter Nancy STONE, (b.1785, VA, d. 26 Sep 1863, Daviess Co., KY), who married on 26 Mar 1805 in Nelson Co., KY Greenbury GRIFFIN, (b.~1774 in MD, d. 12 Apr 1847, Daviess Co., KY). Greenbury and Nancy's youngest son, John W. GRIFFIN, (b. 4 May 1827, Daviess Co. KY, d. 4 Jun 1908) married on 1 Feb 1852 in Daviess Co., KY Elizabeth S. DORRELL (b. 30 Dec 1829, KY, d. 17 Nov 1906). I've found Elizabeth in the 1850 Daviess Co., KY, census as a 20 yr old living with Sampson and Amanda STONE, all 3 listed as born in KY. My sister has John W. and Elizabeth Dorrell GRIFFIN's Bible (where I got most of these dates). I am trying to find out about Elizabeth, our ggg-grandmother; who were her parents, siblings, etc? where was she born? where was the rest of her family in 1850? why was she living with Sampson and Amanda? I have yet to determine Sampson and Amanda's relationship to Nancy Stone GRIFFIN. DARRELL/DORRELL researchers have pointed me to Stafford Co., VA, from where, coincidentally, the STONE family also came. And that's why I've subscribed to this list.... I hope that anyone who has any info about the DARRELL/DORRELL line of Stafford Co., VA might contact me--especially if you know of a branch that may have moved to KY before 1850. I've found evidence of a Sampson DARRELL who was in Stafford Co. by 1690 but don't have a clue as whether this is the same family; he's awfully early! Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance!
