I am stuck with inaccurate research info and lack of records. My Grandmother, Lillie (Howard) Anderson (Howard-17573) has noted in her Bible, information regarding her grandparents, John W. Stovall d. Sept. 8, 1880, and Lucy A. Stovall, d. Oct. 3, 1888. JOHN originated from the Stovall line in NC (Stovall-1680) Lucy’s (Daniels-5357) maiden name was either Daniel or Daniels. There is a lot of conflicting information. I found two different Lucy’s with totally different lines; further research shows these two Lucy’s have been mixed up many times. (It has been a while since I researched so am relying on memory here). It seems that slave families took their names from plantation owners, as I have also found matches going back to a slave family. John and Lucy eventually moved to Leonard, Texas. The local courthouse burned down taking local records along in the flames. There are many “John W...... Stovall”; I created this one as new, but it might be a duplicate. I’d like to flesh out Lucy’s Ancestory, as well as their offspring. More importantly, would like to make the info on this famous family as accurate as possible. I think this might take someone with a lot of time and experience to straighten this out!
