I ran across a little blurb concerning my great-grandfather James Paul Stalls, Sr and my 3rd great-grandmother Francis Elizabeth Brewer.
From the Paducah Sun in the November 24, 1905 issue:
Mrs. F.E. Bondurant and grandson, of Memphis, Tenn., are visiting Mr. and Mrs. J.K. Bondurant, of North Sixth.
This is a pretty exciting find for me! Mrs FE Bondurant is Francis Elizabeth Brewer, wife of Joseph M Bondurant and mother of my 2nd great-grandmother Mary J “Annie” Bondurant. The grandson mentioned is my great-grandfather James Paul Stalls, Sr. Mr and Mrs JK Bondurant are James Knox Polk Bondurant, the brother of Joseph M Bondurant, and Mary Jane Brewer, the sister of Francis Elizabeth Brewer.
I’m still looking for a birth announcement for James Paul Stalls, Sr. Since no one is really sure whether he was born in Obion County, Tennessee or McCracken County, Kentucky, I sure would love to find a record of birth for him somewhere!
