Rodney, Was John Bailey s/o of James,Sr. and Polly Stinson, the same as John V. Bailey. I have John V. Bailey married to Martha Jane Taylor--am I right?--was he married twice? If he married his 1st cousin then Mary Stinson was the daughter of one of Polly's brothers or sisters--right? Polly's brothers Robert, Sr., James, and William C. all had daughters named Mary.

My BAILEY family connects twice to STINSON in Russell Co. John BAILEY s/o James, Sr & Margret STINSON, BAILEY, md Mary STINSON, who was his 1st cousin. John was about 57 in 1850 Russell Co Census. He had 3 sons: James, Green F., and John V. John and sons went to Owsley Co, KY before 1860. Don't know if any of their children went to Washington or not. Most of the people at RIFFE were in some way connected to my ROBERTS family, so I would presume these STINSON's were also. Just don't know anything about them.
