Rodney, #260 William Stinson b 1831 RCV is the son of John Stinson, Jr., my gggrandfather. Sabrina G. Claypool b 1835 was his wife. This William was the brother of my ggrandfather, James Stinson b. 1844 who is listed in the 1870 RCV Census. His wife, Melissa Jane Thompson b. 1/28/1841 RCV d. 12/14/1925 Ajlune, Lewis Co., WA. d/o John Thompson, Jr. and Jane Stinson. The Rachel Stinson in the Census is James' mother Rachel DRAKE Stinson. I have no knowledge of who Martha Wilson might be. The John Stinson listed in the 1870 RCV Census is John R. Stinson b.1846 s/o of John, Jr. and brother to James and William. He married 2/7/1865 RCV Cosby McKinney b. abt 1840 d/o Polly Mckinney. John Thompson is John Thompson, Jr., my gggrandfather, b. 1805 RCV d. 11/7/1884 RCV s/o John Thompson, Sr. and Virginia Jane Fletcher. He married abt 1831 RCV Jane Stinson b1807 d. bet 1874-1880 d/o Robert Stinson and Amy Kelley. I believe that the children, Melissa and Johns listed in the 1870 RCV census in John, Jr.'s household are probably their grandchildren and the children of their daughter Anna who married Samuel Stinson s/o John Stinson, Jr. and Rachel Drake. I can't prove this, but have no other plausible explanation at this time.
