Family History and Genealogy
Margaret A. Stanfield was born June 23, 1837. She died October 1, 1851 and is buried at Ball Ground Cemetery in Murray County, Georgia. I believe that she is the daughter of John Stroud and Delilah Bright and the wife of Willis M. Stanfield; however both these assertions need further research before being consider proved.
John Stroud was born December 25, 1807 and died May 27, 1898. He is buried in Ball Ground Cemetery in Murray County, Georgia.
Rebecca D. Stroud, daughter of John Stroud and Delilah Bright was born May 19, 1848. She died at the age of eight, in October 1856, and is buried at Ball Ground Cemetery in Murray County, Georgia.
