I come from the (paternal) Stafford/Biggs/Rush/Denson, (Maternal) Tidwell/Mangrum /Hayes/Anderson/Webb lineages. My family has roots in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and Indiana. I am the biological daughter of P.J. "Pete" Stafford (1932-2012 memorial ID: 101685796) and his second wife, who was not related to Pete by blood (living/private). My late brother, Timmy Lee Stafford (1966-2004 memorial ID: 120954725), and I were raised by our paternal grandparents, Van Dow Stafford (1907-1992 memorial ID: 19131424) and Dora Ethel (Biggs) Stafford (1909-1983 memorial ID: 19131430), of Gainesboro, Jackson County, Tennessee.

*note* I only mention about mine and Timmy's parents 'not being related by blood to each other' because of the many cousin marriages within the Stafford family, which has caused confusion. Our father's 3rd wife (Brenda) was his first cousin; his 1st wife, Edith Evelyn (Dillard) Hood B:1942 - D:2026, was not related to him by blood.
