Hello List, My Great Grandfather James B Stanley was born in the Western District of Tazewell Co in 1850, that part which is now McDowell Co, WV. His parents were George B Stanley and Lucinda Unknown. George 23 & Lucinda 18 appear on the 1850 Tazewell Co Western Dist census with James' older brother Avary age 2. The families living around them are Cline, Lambert, and Rose. Does anyone have any information about Lucinda and who her parents might be? George & Lucinda appear on the 1860 Wyoming Co, VA census with Avy 12, James 10, Catherine 7, Nancy 4 and William 2. James 18, appears on the 1870 McDowell Co, WV census living in the home of Bartley Rose. James named my grandfather William Bartley Stanley, so either he really liked Bartley Rose a lot or he may have been Lucinda's father? James appears on the McDowell Co, WV census in 1880 with wife Amanda M Harman. Amanda's parents were Henry A Harman and Christina Harman. George's parents were William & Sarah Stanley. Some researchers list William's parents as Joseph Stanley and Mary Polly Redding but I doubt Mary was his mother. Does anyone have any documentation that Joseph was William's father? Or any other information about the ancestry of James Stanley? Thanks for any help. christine hayes washington state gabby362@juno.com
