Mary Stafford

 

6.  Mary Stafford2  (William1) Born before 1807 probably in North Carolina.1  There is no evidence found to date suggesting that Mary Stafford married.  Her father named her in his will as Mary Stafford.2  Mary is not listed by name in 1790 in her father's household,3 however, William's household is described as having 8 people with the breakdown as described in the table below.  This enumeration correlates precisely with the people listed in William Stafford's will, which directly states that he has six children.

Listing in 1790 Census3

Legatees listed in William's will2

1 Free white male 16 years old or older

  • William Stafford 

4 Free white males under 16 years of age

3 Free white females including heads of families

  • "my loving wife Fanny"

  • "my daughter Mary Stafford"

  • "Rachel Wright my daughter" and "Rachel Wright, wife of William Wright"

 

No other information has been discovered for Mary Stafford at this time.  Further research is needed to determine if she married and when she died.

Suggested research:

  • Need to research land and deed records to track the parcel of land she inherited from William Stafford.

  • Probate research for Mary Stafford

  • Research needed in Quaker records - Fairfield Quaker Meeting Records - available through FHL

 

 

 

Mary Stafford apparently did not marry nor did she have any children:
