Yes, Minnie was married to my Mother's brother Edd Stableton. Ed had a
brother Mack who married Ruby Hamilton and had the gift and ornamental iron
shop. This family grew up in the Joppa area. I will get out my notes and
give a brief rundown with dates but the family started in Virginia with
William Stableton married Mary McLord and moved to Fayette Co., Ky. where son
David Stapleton was born and married a Scearce. They moved to Shelby Co.,
Ky. where John Stableton was born and came to Vigo-Parke Co. I believe in
1840 to 1850 time frame. His son John Calvin Stableton (had leg amputated
about 1905) lived and died in Joppa Area of Vigo Co. As I said Ed Stapleton
has said several times we were cousins he believed. I nor he had any direct
basis for this statement. The dates above are from memory but if you are
interested I will get back with more accurate information. The spelling was
changed as I have indicated form generation to generation. John Robertson
