Missouri Stalcups

Here are some pictures pertaining to our Stalcup ancestors from Missouri. Zach's dad is me, my dad is Robert, his dad was Chester, Chester's dad was Robert Lee, and Robert Lee's dad was Isaac Stalcup (11/8/1826-4/15/1881). Isaac was born in southwestern Virginia in Smyth County. Based on what I know about where his grandfather Peter Stephen Stalcup is buried (St. Clair Bottom, VA), and where his mother Rachel Gollehon was from (Seven Mile Ford, VA), I'm guessing that he was from the Chilowie, VA area. Isaac's parents were John and Rachel Stalcup. John was born in 1794 in Smyth County, VA, and died 10/18/1868 in Clay Twp, Monroe County, MO. Rachel was born 6/5/1804 in Seven Mile Ford, VA, and died 10/2/1881 in Clay Twp, Monroe County, VA.

Isaac was married twice - and his wives were sisters! Isaac married Virginia A. Harris on 3/22/1854 in Clay Twp, Monroe County, MO. They had 4 children (John, Margaret, Infant who died at 2 months, and Sarah). Virginia passed away from a fever she had for 8 weeks on 9/16/1859. Issac then married Virginia's sister Mary E. Harris on 4/7/1861. They had 5 children (Laura, Arminta, Robert Lee, Isaac F., and Charles). Mary passed away on 7/11/1896.

The common thread on this post is that all of these people are buried at Spencer Chapel Cemetery in Clay Twp, Monroe Co, MO. And the pictures of their gravestones are included below. They were kindly provided by Mr. Wayne Meyer of Hartsburg, MO. He is a Harris descendant, and has a lot of Monroe County, MO information/connections. He was kind enough to answer a query that I posted on a Monroe County Genweb site.
