General Notes

I believe that Jehu Staton had two wives, Mahala being 2nd.  Also that Catherine, Ezekiel, Elizabeth, Phebe and Sarah (Sally) were of the 1st marriage.  Sally was born ca 1792-95 and the next date known is for Nancy born 1802.  Need to find marriages of Jehu and Mahala and Jehu and 1st wife which may have been in NC.  Jehu was in the 1790 census of Rutherford Co. NC. and some have mentioned him to be of the Edgecomb Co NC Statons. Jehu was in KY before 1800.  Possibly he was from Virginia or from Maryland/Delaware line of Staton/Stayton.
