Comments on: Buckingham County Stinsons http://genealogy.blogsome.com/2008/03/13/buckingham-county-stinsons/ I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago, and people who will see a world that I shall never know. ~Lord of the Rings Fri, 01 Jan 2010 23:01:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: Edna Barney http://genealogy.blogsome.com/2008/03/13/buckingham-county-stinsons/#comment-165 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 12:53:58 +0000 http://genealogy.blogsome.com/2008/03/13/buckingham-county-stinsons/#comment-165 With all due respect "twodleloo," you do not know what you are writing about. Please cite the evidence of fifty ALEXANDER STINSONS you have found who came to Virginia before 1718, when ALEXANDER STINSON of Williamsburg was already here. I have done the STINSON family genealogy for forty-five years and I have never come acoss your "fifty ALEXANDER STINSONS." Furthermore, I have NEVER written that ALEXANDER STINSON was an immigrant nor a slave, although I documented that he was indentured, customary in those times in Virginia. AND, I have NEVER written anywhere that he married the daughter of HENRY CARY. Almost everything I wrote about the STINSON family in this book is well documented with footnotes. Since you obviously have not read the book, you should not be criticizing it. With all due respect “twodleloo,” you do not know what you are writing about.

As one man. The Alexander Stinson Sr. lived and did not pay bills, left and headed south and left bills as he went. he left his family without support and when he died, he left bills and a legacy that repeats is self when Cary Stinson did not pay his taxes to the point that the estate was sold to pay his debts. There is no solid evidence that the slave boy is the leading member of this family any more than one could say that Alexander married Henry Cary's daughter. WHich is probably the connection everyone is looking for since Alex bought land from Henry Cary and then purchased land from the crown as a known person, We cannot write a history with out inrefutable evidence and what you say is not evident here.
