• Notes

  Mary's second name is spelled variously--Asilla, ASilla, A Silla, but her daughter, Annie Jennings Cunningham, notes that "my mother's name in our old family Bible was spelled with a S instead of a C; it was Mary A. Silla. [letter to Jan Jennings in Tulsa, OK from Mrs. H. (Annie) Cunningham in Lockney TX (c1976)] The family of John Thomas Stallings (1843- ) and Sarah Thomas Stallings, moved from Bedford County TN after the Civil War to Fannin County TX. The family farmed near Honey Grove for about eight years. Their oldest son, Daniel Orzo, came to Swisher County TX in 1890 with Joe Cantrell, Otto Jennings, and brother-in-law Veto Jennings. "Pleased with this area, Daniel Orzo Stallings filed on land and invited the others to come to this new land of opportunity. By the time the rest of the family arrived by wagon, taking 18 days to make the trip, a severe drougth had struck. Instead of breaking sod, they rented land from Judge Settle. By 1893 good crops put the family on their feet financially. They were among the first to raise Kaffir corn, maize and wheat."

Silla and Veto, but four died at birth.
