Biography
Research Notes
No record supports the statement in the book Our Kin that John Withers of Stafford Co, VA and Lincoln Co, NC married Rosa Stanberry, and in fact there is no record of a Rosa Stanberry existing.
There was a John Withers (1744/5 VA -1827 KY) born a generation later after John Withers who moved to Fauquier Co, VA and married Rosamond/Rosa Duncan, sometimes also called Stanberry on online trees, in 1770. A thorough discussion of this younger John Withers (born 1744/5) is in a book about the descendants of James Withers (1680/1-1746) of Stafford Co, VA. This book noted John Withers (born 1744/5 -1827), the son of James Withers and Catherine Barbee of Stafford Co, married in Fauquier Co, VA in Sep 1770 Rosamond Duncan, the daughter of Joseph and Lydia Duncan. Rosamond had eight children and was alive in 1793 after which John remarried Susanna Rosser on 1796. In 1814 John and Susanna Withers sold their Fauquier Co, VA land and moved to Lincoln Co, Kentucky, not Lincoln Co, North Carolina where John Withers had already died.
