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.
