    Fanny Stafford (William's wife), age 29, born in Kentucky

  2. Many compilers assign Fanny's name to William's first wife Mary Chapman, assuming they were the same person. But Mary was known as Polly (according to her daughter Lydia's death record), and Fanny was not a traditional nickname for Mary. Therefore, it is assumed that Mary died and William remarried during the gap in births between Lydia and William.
