• Notes

  George Staton's name is listed variously in the records. Probate records of George Dill name Mrs. Richard Staton as an heir. (Greenville Co. Probate Court, Apt. 20, File 29) He is also listed as Richard Staten in the 1850 census of Spartanburg Co., SC. The obituary of Eliza J. Campbell, a daughter, names her parents as George Staton and Axie Dill Staton. (Greenville News, 5 Sep 1933, p. 5) The death certificate of Mrs. Susana Langley names her parents as Axie Dill and Richard Staten. In the 1850 census of Spartanburg Co., SC Richard Staten, age, 23, islisted consecutively with the families of Reuben Staten, age 25, and James Staten, age 45. In the 1880 census of Greenville Co., SC Axie Staton, widow, is listed next to Reuben Staten and his wife Julia. It is possible that James Staten is the father of Richard and Reuben.
