"Luisia STINSON" first appears on the 1860 census at Buckingham Courthouse, Virginia, as a seamstress and implied "single mother" with four young sons, Robert STINSON, Samuel STINSON, Charles M. STINSON and James STINSON. John STINSON (born about 1862) and Edward STINSON appear as her sons on succeeding censuses. Edward STINSON was born in Virginia in September 1871, and in 1896, he married Eva who was born December 1872, in Virginia. Mother Louisa STINSON probably died before 1900, as she is not found in Buckingham County after that date.
Louisa STINSON is descended from Alexander STINSON of Buckingham County and appears with her STINSON parents on page 101, of "So Obscure A Person.”
