Margaret Stalcup Gollehon

An unfortunate obituary that ties Margaret Stalcup Gollehon as Robert Lee Stalcup's sister. I had thought he moved to the Blair, NE area on his own around 1895, but it turns out he went with his older sister and her husband, Clayborn T. Gollehon around 1890. If you look closely at the will for Isaac Stalcup (from a much earlier post), the father to Maggie and Bob, you can see she and her husband are mentioned - as well as Robert Lee and the rest of their siblings.

Margaret and her husband Clayborn are buried in the Kennard Cemetery - where Robert Lee and his wife Minnie are also buried. I have gravestone photos for Clayborn and Margaret that I will post soon, too.

I am hoping that I might be able to find some pictures of Margaret and Clayborn to add to the blog - you never know! I have more articles concerning Clayborn that I will add as a future post. All of these are courtesy of the fine detective work of Mrs. Pat Hunsche of the Washington County, NE Genealogical Society in Blair, NE.

As an aside, there are quite a few Stalcup-Gollehon marriages (as well as neighboring land) dating back to Washington County, VA in the early 1800's. In fact, Robert Lee's grandfather - John Stalcup - married Rachel Gollehon. More on all of those connections in a future post.
