Thessalia United Methodist Church out on Sugar Run
|
Carol Godwin wrote to me and gave me the following information.
"James Mitchell Stafford lived out on Sugar Run across the creek from the
Thessalia Methodist Church. When we were there a few years ago the old house
was in ruins and empty. It is called "the Robertson House" by those living in
the area now, but originally it belonged to the Staffords.
James Mitchell Stafford is buried on the hill across from the church along
with Laura French. James has two markers. One is alomost at the rear fence
on the left-hand side. It reads:
In my father's house are many mansions
J.M. Stafford
Born April 15 1824
Died Jane 30 1895
There is also a big family marker that reads:
Laura J. George T. P.
1840-1921 1874-1890
J. Mitchell William Bascom
1824-1895 1860-1890
