Some of the information concerning Robert Stringfellow and his descendants was provided to me in the copywrited notes of R. Shepard Brown. Mr. Brown was a publisher, editor and writer who wrote an excellent biography of Benjamin Franklin (Frank) Stringfellow. Robert and Catherine Stigler Stringfellow were Frank Stringfellow's great grandparents. The book is entitled "Stringfellow of the Fourth", and was published in 1960. I am fortunate enough to own a copy, and it is an excellent read. Mr. Brown did very thorough research and made contact with severaldescendants of Robert Stringfellow as well as Stringfellow researchers during his preparations for writing the book. Copies of his notes were graciously provided to me by Mr. Brown's daughter, Barbara. Most importantly, at least from my own point of view, is that Mr. Brown's research and my own research agree. Also, Mr. Brown's notes provided some information on at least two generations of Robert's descendants that I did not have. Thanks again, Barbara.
