Notes for William B. Staton
There was another William Staton in Bath Co. born about 1825 (age in census varies) who also had a wife named Sarah (nee McClain) who went by Sally, so be careful not to get them confused. Some researchers, in particular, have mistakenly assigned this William’s death date to the one who married Sarah McClain.
(The way you can tell which William’s dates go with which wife is that W. B. Staton and Sallie A. Staton are buried together under a joint obelisk-style stone with full dates for both, and the death certificates of many of their children give Frazier as their mother’s maiden name.)
