This same family appears on page 245 of "Memoirs of Buckingham County and Along the James" by Emily Maxey Jenkins, 1985, with children Parrish STINSON and Clyde Milton STINSON.
Ms. Jenkins' book has Clyde STINSON married to Edna Clive PAYNE of Buckingham County with daughters Mary and Christine STINSON. Clyde was a veteran of the Spanish-American War and died during the 1918 influenza epidemic. She includes a portrait of Clyde's wife and daughters.
UPDATE March 2009, Clyde Johnson wrote me at Facebook:
"I was adopted by Mary Stinson Johnson in 1952. I remember her sister Christine. Edna lived with us and passed away at our house in 1967. I have a portrait of Clyde.
"I only know as far back as Clyde and Edna Stinson and they were from Buckingham. These were my grandparents. I do know Clyde died in 1918 from the flu epidemic. Edna remarried Gordon Gentry I believe. My mother Mary Stinson Johnson lived in Richmond VA. Her sister Christine Stinson Rynerson lived in Washington DC. They had one child Charlotte."

Edna Payne Stinson Gentry was my great aunt. Her parents were Molly Burks Payne and Nathan Thomas Payne Buckingham Co. Va. The house is still there on Payne Pond Rd. Buckingham Co. Va. About 5 miles out of Scottsville, Va. There is also a Payne family cemetery near the home. Look at Find A Grave web site for the Payne Cemetery in Buckingham Co. Patt Findley Freedman Tallahassee
