Biography
Caroline (Parsons) Stalnaker was an Appalachian.
Caroline Mary Parsons was born Aug 9, 1833 in Randolph Co., WVA. She married Holstbery Stalnaker
Mary Caroline Parsons, fourth daughter of Solomon and Mary Ward Parsons, was born in Randolph County, Virginia. After her marriage she moved to Barbour County on a farm. She lived a peaceful life and was very much beloved by all who knew her. She was a devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal church south. [1]
She was a loyal woman to the south a short time before Lee's surrender ; her husband was drafted in the U. S. A., but he hired a substitute and paid him seven hundred dollars. When the man arrived at Grafton, peace was declared and he was mustered out of service; she said her husband should not don a blue uniform for that amount.
