Thomas Cary Stinson, Civil War Soldier
THOMAS CARY STINSON appears in "So Obscure A Person” on pages 123, 124 where his lineage can be traced back to Alexander Stinson of Buckingham County. This image, documenting his Civil War service is from "United States Headstone Applications for U.S. Military Veterans, 1925-1949" found at FamilySearch.org. In addition, since the publication of the book, we have found a marriage record to Mary Alice Fortune on 25 November 1873. Additional sources were found that document Mary Alice's birth as 14 February 1858, Newbern, Pulaski County, Virginia and her death on 27 January 1939, at Roanoke, Virginia.

Thomas B. Stinson
On pages 100, 101 of "So Obscure A Person” the wife of Thomas B. STINSON should be recorded as Susan PRICE, as that is the name that was entered on the death record of their daughter Louisa STINSON. The informant for the death record was Louisa's older brother, so this citation carries more weight than the name "Elizabeth" found in a Buckingham County book of cemetery records, previously used for documentation.
