 From: [email protected]:
 The name of Samuel came from my grandmother who found a letter that was
 written by one of Susannah's daughters and mentioned her uncle Samuel Staley.
 I have found no concrete dates for Samuel, so I left the dates blank.
 We have found records confirming that John Staley Jr. is the father of Samuel R. Staley, who is the father of Donald N. Staley. We also have records confirming that Donald N. Staley and his second wife Rosa were cousins. Rosa is the daughter of
 William W. Staley; therefore, William W. and Samuel were probably brothers or half brothers. We assume that John Staley Jr. is the father of both of them. We know that Margaret Barbara Funchess is the mother of Samuel; we do not know if she
 is also William W. Staley's mother.
