I'm looking for information about a James Best marrying a Nancy
Stanfield, Jackson Co., IN
Does anyone have that information?
I was a little taken back when I found this information. I was just
glancing over the CW papers,
as I had done 100 times before, when I saw on one of the papers
"Affidavit for Widow's Pension"
that my ggrandfather's last wife, Anna Rhuminer gave testimoney before
the Pension Board, that
her last husband had been married twice before. I'd seen information
before in Jackson Co., IN
information at the library, and other sources, that this STANFIELD, kept
popping out at me, like
it was saying"read me, here I am, take this information, you'll be
amazed" and I ignored it, cause
all my life, and the lives of my living relatives only remember James
BEST being married twice.
Once to Eliza Jane Drury, and the last time to Anna Rhuminer. But
obviously, he was married
between acts.
Because according to another paper being filed, on his CW Pension, his
son, my ggrandfather
William Edgar BEST, giving testimoney also, as his only living son; that
he tells them at Eliza
Drury was his first wife, and RHUMINER, his last wife; which indicates
to me, that there may
have been another wife or two between the first and last.
Can anyone shed any light on this subject?
Sincerely,
Melanie Wayman
