Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: [Stiles-1998] records James Oran Stiles’ birthdate as “12 Dec 1888” which is probably obtained from the marker at his gravesite. But it seems likely that 12 December 1887 is more accurate because it was recorded by James Oran Stiles himself in [US-SSS-1917f]. James married Jessica Ramseur on 21 Dec 1910 in (unknown). Jessica was born on 6 Jun 1890 in Thorndale, Milam County, Texas, United States; died on 21 Nov 1978 in Taylor, Williamson County, Texas, United States; was buried after 21 Nov 1978 in Stiles Cemetery, near Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States.

4. | Francis Newton Stiles was born in Dec 1837 in Lincoln, Lincoln County, Tennessee, United States (son of Seaborn Stiles and Rebecca Fincher); died on 1 Jul 1911 in Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States; was buried on 2 Jul 1911 in Stiles Cemetery, near Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Every census record from 1850 though 1910 in addition to [TxDoSHS-1911a] lists an age for Francis Newton Stiles’ consistent with a birthdate in 1837 or 1838. In fact [US-1900-1f], the only US census to list the month and year of an individual’s birth, reports his birthdate as “Dec 1837”. Despite this, 15 Sep 1841 (probably derived from Francis Newton Stiles’ headstone) is widely reported to be his birthdate. But if Francis Newton Stiles is accurately enumerated with his father’s family in 1840, as suggested by [US-1840a], then he cannot have been born in 1841. Moreover, [US-1840a] is the only census record discovered for Seaborn Stiles and his family in 1840...thus far, and is only consistent with the known number of children at the time if the 1837 birthdate for Francis Newton Stiles is accurate. Consequently, this database uses a birthdate of “Dec 1837” rather than 15 Sep 1841, since the latter isn’t consistent with any of the known facts of Francis Newton Stiles’ life. Francis married Marina Floyd Thomas on 24 Feb 1875 in Sabine, Milam County, Texas, United States. Marina (daughter of James T Thomas and Marina Clarinda Grice) was born on 29 Oct 1857 in Selma, Dallas County, Alabama, United States; died on 28 May 1898 in Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States; was buried after 28 May 1898 in Stiles Cemetery, near Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States.

5. | Marina Floyd Thomas was born on 29 Oct 1857 in Selma, Dallas County, Alabama, United States (daughter of James T Thomas and Marina Clarinda Grice); died on 28 May 1898 in Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States; was buried after 28 May 1898 in Stiles Cemetery, near Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: [Stiles-1998] has birth year as 1847, but [McCown-1998] has birth year as 1857. The latter year also corresponds to information in [Stiles-1971] stating that the girls (Eliza J, Marina Floyd, Amanda, and Miranda) where all between the ages of 13 and 17 when they undertook the trip to Texas with their grandmother, in 1872.

8. | Seaborn Stiles was born on 16 Jan 1807 in _______, Laurens District, South Carolina, United States (son of John Stiles and Margaret Lynch); died on 5 Nov 1874 in Thorndale, Milam County, Texas, United States; was buried after 5 Nov 1874 in Lawrence Chapel Cemetery, near Shiloh, Williamson County, Texas, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: It is not known where exactly in Milam County Seaborn Stiles and his family lived, but secondhand sources occasionally refer to “Brushy, MIlam Co.”. No such town exists in modern Milam County, Texas, but Brushy may be a reference to Brushy Creek which runs from southwest to northeast across Williamson and Milam counties and crosses the county line approximately 2 miles south of Thorndale. Given census records from 1850 through 1870 which consistently place Seaborn Stiles and family in western Milam County, it’s likely his farm was located along Brushy Creek south or just east of Thorndale. Seaborn married Rebecca Fincher in 1834. Rebecca was born in 1810 in _______, _______, Tennessee, United States; died about 1843 in _______, _______, Tennessee, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
9. | Rebecca Fincher was born in 1810 in _______, _______, Tennessee, United States; died about 1843 in _______, _______, Tennessee, United States. Notes: Numerous sources, including [Stiles-1998] and [LDS-AF-1999f] list the name of Seaborn Stiles’ first wife as “Rebecca Fincher Newton”, but there are no first hand sources that support this assertion. Rather, [Lewis-1893a] claims that Seaborn Stiles’ first wife was Rebecca Fincher, presumably the daughter of Francis and Sarah (Flewellyn) Fincher, a family that also lived in Franklin County, Tennessee at about the time Rebecca married Seaborn.

10. | James T Thomas was born about 1828 in _______, _______, Alabama, United States (son of George Thomas and Mary Thomas); died before 1870 in (unknown). Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: The information on James, his parents, and siblings is based on the only matching record of a “James Thomas” in the 1850 Federal Census for Dallas County, Alabama. It is also assumed that the family was likely to have been in Dallas County in 1850 due to James’ marriage to Marina Clarinda Grice in 1853. James married Marina Clarinda Grice on 3 Nov 1853 in _______, Dallas County, Alabama, United States. Marina (daughter of Lindsey Baker Grice and Elizabeth Todd) was born on 11 Dec 1834 in _______, Lowndes County, Alabama, United States; died on 27 Jun 1867 in _______, Lowndes County, Alabama, United States; was buried after 27 Jun 1867 in Bethany Baptist Church Cemetery, near Collirene, Lowndes County, Alabama, United States.
