To any Stanes out there: Hello! My name is Laura, namesake of Larry Franklin Stane Jr., who is my father. I want to post all the information I have on my family so far, because I hope that it might be of some help to someone who needs some information on the Little Rock Stanes.

First, I do have a few questions:

I know that Great-Great Grandfather, Frank (Frankie) Stane, was married to Charlotta (Lottie) Cotton, but is she the mother of Claude Franklin Stane? I heard that his mother's name was Dolly.

Also, my Great-Grandmother is Juanita Gale Stane, but I also hear that Claude was married to a lady named Marie, and had two daughters by her, Sandra Claudette (Stane) Edwards, Claudene Stane, and a son, Danny Franklin Stane (it there is also a half brother named Jimmy Brooks, but I am not sure it it is Claude's son). Can someone help me get a timeframe on who was when and if there were any other wives/children?


Ok, here is what I have so far:

Frank (Frankie) Stane was married to Charlotta (Lottie) Cotton. He may also have been married to a lady named Dolly (?). He had three brothers Thomas Earnest Stane, Jesse Stane, Charlie Stane, and a sister, Opal. With Charlotta, he had sons Claude Franklin Stane, Raymond Stane, and Clarence Stane. Raymond Stane had two sons Kermit and Gary and a daughter, Linda by wife Mildred Lurline. Claude Franklin Stane had cousins by the name of Howard Stane and Harvey Stane. He married Juanita Gale/Gail (Elkins) Stane who was supposedly born on a reservation in Kansas. Juanita Gail and Claude Stane had a son, Larry Franklin Stane Sr. Claude Stane was also married to Marie Stane and had two daughters by her, Sandra Claudette (Stane) Edwards, Claudene Stane (?), and a son, Danny Franklin Stane (there is also a half brother named Jimmy Brooks, but I am not sure it it is Claude's son). Larry Franklin Stane Sr. Born in Little Rock Arkansas and has Lived in Texas most of his life. He married Linda (?) and she had four sons; Larry Jr., Stacy, Judd, and Randy. He later married Carol (?) and had one daughter with her, Mirah, who I belive also has a child now. Stacy Stane was tragically killed as a teenager by a drunk driver. Judd Oren Stane was born on Jan. 21, 1969 and also died tragically in an automobile accident on Apr. 30, 2001, I belive driving home from a naval base. He is buried at Rosewood Funeral Home and Cemetery in Humble, Texas in Harris County. Judd has two children, Heather and Christopher by his surviving wife, Susan (?) Stane. Larry Franklin Stane Jr. was born in Huston, Texas and married Susan (Davis) Stane and had four children with her; Nickolas Anthony Stane, Laura Amy Gail Stane (me), Amber Marie Stane, and Ryan Stacy Stane.

Please feel free to help me correct anything!

Also, anyone with any information about how my great-grandparents Claude and Gail met and married, please let me know.
