Is this Stafford house still owned by the Stafford family and was the Staffords that lived in the house at one time any relation to James Stafford and Abigail Davis Stafford. James would have been living in this area around 1750 to 1800's and etc. It was a beautiful home at one time and is a shame that it is in the condition as it is now. I am a granddaughter of James Stafford and Abigail Davis,Stafford.
FM Stafford was my ggg grandfather, at the time the house was added to the registry, it was owned, I believe by May Stafford. Since her death, it was passed to another relative and then offered for sale. It was a beautiful place and I am sad about it's condition. What memories this house held. It was used for a hospital in the Civil War, with surgeries done on the dining room table. I don't know who owns it now. Thanks, Becki Justice My grandmother was Araminta Stafford, daughter of Fm Stafford and Marietta Hager Lavender
Yes the Francis M. Stafford is related to James and Abigail (Davis) Stafford. Francis M was the son of John Stafford who was the son of James and Abigail (Davis)Stafford. James & Abigail are my gg grandparents. I just visited the home on June 26, 2012 and it is being restored
In Eastern Kentucky, our unique history and culture is disappearing at an alarming rate. This photographic archive is an attempt to preserve a record of the old houses, barns, schools, churches, stores, and other landmarks before they are lost to us forever.
The Old Log Cabin In The Lane
Oh the chimney's fallen down and the roof's all caved in
Lettin' in the sunshine and the rain
And the only friend I've got now is that good old dag of mine
And the little old log cabin in the lane
Oh the trees have all growed up that lead around the hill
The fences have all gone to decay
And the creeks have all dried up where we used to go to mill
And things have changed their course another way
