Marian> Indeed Joseph P Staton served with Woodward's Cavalry. He is my Husband's great grand father. He left Northern KY after taking care of the Yankee (I wish we could find out which unit it was) that burned his home, destroyed the farm and left his wife (Mary Short)to die from exposure. He took his children: Mary, Augustus and Emma to Sulphur Bluff Texas where he remarried and had other children. His son Augustus Lee Staton married Florence Bell Mahaffey. Her parents were Hugh George Washington Mahaffey and Mary Catherine Gregg. Richard Samuel Kimberlin married Mary Catherine Gregg's sister and was known to us as Uncle Sam. His brother Richard Kemper Kimberlin also married a sister of Mary Catherine Gregg. We think Julian did as well but will take some more searching. The families moved to Elk City Ok and then to Santa Ana Calif. Feel free to contact us at statonfamily@hotmail.com
