I am looking for information on either of the above individuals. Frances (F.A.) Stanphill married my gggrandfather in 1850 in Southern Illinois. But, i think she was born in Alabama to Cornelius Stanphill. Frances married a Henry Roberts and I am also interested in any of the Roberts' in the area during this time also.

snowman737 — 2009-08-15 04:15:09Z

I am looking for information about him. He was born in Mississippi, and I think that he died near Fairview, OK. He married Nina Schofield. I've heard that his mother was Native American. Any information about him or his parents would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Pumphrey Stanphill

2006-09-24 04:33:54Z

i need to check with my grandfather some more but it may be possible that I am related. My granfather would have been one of the 8 children.

Re: Pumphrey Stanphill

2006-09-23 20:34:34Z

Pumphrey Stanphill did have a son named James Pumphrey Stanphill but he didn't marry Eula Gatlin. Pumphrey's other son, William Lawson Stanphill had a son named James Pumphrey Stanphill who married Eula F Gatlin on 13 May 1908 in Whitney, Hill Co, TX. They had 8 children.
How are you related? Pumphrey is my g g grandfather.

does Era have a younger brother names James who would be about 82 years old in 2006? They called him Jimmy. I am James stanphill's grandaughter just looking for info on my past family history.

Re: Pumphrey Stanphill

zoweyrae — 2006-09-20 22:59:55Z

do you know if one of his children was James P. Stanphill born in either Ok or texas not so sure about that. But he married a woman named Eula Gathlin (not sure on the spelling) and went on to have several children mostly girls and 1 boy was the last, I think 10 plus total or close to that.

Re: Ira Stanphill

2006-07-22 15:26:13Z

Hi Jerilyn,

I am very interested in anything you would have on this Pryor line [my paternal grandmother was a Pryor]. You mentioned Indian blood...there is quite a bit of it in that line from various sources I have found out. I'd
be very interested in any pictures you have and even J.T. Engler's line back to Switzerland.

Re: Ira Stanphill

Jerilyn_Wood — 2006-07-22 03:32:44Z

Jefferson Thompson Engler was Swiss. I have his line to 1582. Mary Ellen Pryor was the one who was supposed to be Indian. She looks like it in our family photos.

Re: Stanphill, Stanfield,Salmon, Holder Disheroon Family's where are you ???

2006-04-05 16:24:29Z

My Dads mother was a Holder from Nebraska & her Dad was a Holder from Nebraska his name was James Calvin Holder & wife was Maggie Elizabeth Brassfield Holder the 2 famalies owned a hotel in Crofton Neb. Who might be able to help you is John Camerer, You can e-mail him at camerer@willienet.net He is doing the Holders. I live in Riverside, Ca and a lot of the Holders lived here in the 30's on. Jack Holder, Raymond Holder & all of there kids etc. If I don't get back to you again soon after you would e-mail me again is we are leaving on vacation until the 15th of Oct. My email address is gloriac7@juno.com. Please stay in touch as we may be related.
Disheroon I know very little other than my mothers mothers family & I think they were from around Elsie Mo. So many are dead & I'm having a terrible time with that line as my mother has Alzheimers & doesn't know a lot of info as she came to Calif in 1926 I think. If you will send me your e-mail address if & I find out about them I can let you know. Good luck. Gloria Chartraw

Re: Ira Stanphill

2006-02-26 03:00:51Z

Hey...we all do that... and it sure beats not having a CLUE as to even what decade someone was born in or where. You can at least have a better idea as to whether you've even got the right person you are looking for....especially if it's a common name. Stanphill is a whole lot easier to research than SMITH and I have 6 or 8 different branches of that in my trees!!!!!

Please thank you mom for me.

Re: Ira Stanphill

2006-02-26 00:17:57Z

Probably accurate. Mother guessed at Andy 's birthdate, she know he was 4 years younger and he was about 11 years old when she married Ray. Not too accurate for your research.

Re: Ira Stanphill

2006-02-25 16:47:11Z

Yes, I have that and that Ira's middle name was Forest and Andrew was a Junior. However , I have Andrew born in 1925. Your sister was probably named after Flora Maggie,huh?

Don't you just love this stuff and how you can link everyone up for hundreds of years. I never get tired of it.

Re: Ira Stanphill

2006-02-25 16:29:27Z

Ray's full name is Jefferson Ray Stanphill obviously named for his grandfather Engler. Neither of us could remember because no one ever used it. Kind of confirmation for you though of the link.

Re: Ira Stanphill

2006-02-25 15:54:15Z

I am passing on the information to my half sister who is blood kin to the Stanphills. Thanks, Gaye

Re: Ira Stanphill

2006-02-25 14:37:02Z

Gaye,
I guess I actually have more info than you. The Englers started out in Overton Co., TN but some of the later children were born in TX and AK. Maggie was born in TN and she was #9 born January 3, 1894. Jefferson Engler was born in Illinois and he and Mary Ellen both died in OK. Andrew Stanphill was born 10/20/1892 in AK and died 4/30/1979 in New Mexico. He and Flora were married 11/26/1911 in AK so the family definitely moved around. Ira's first wife, Zelma was also born in Illinois [that's where I'm from].

Don't know why your e-mail bounced back but if you want more of my info, let me know or try BettyJoe915@aol.com again. Thanks for your help.
BJ

Re: Ira Stanphill

2006-02-25 05:05:47Z

No wonder they called her Maggie! I e-mailed you but it was returned. Ray was born 9-5-1912, Ira in 1914 and Andrew 1921. That is all Mother could come up with. There is an autobiography by Ira called "This Side of Heaven." It was made into a video. I was able to view a borrowed copy. Same material as the book. . Raymond Ira, his son is still alive but probably wants no contacts. Ira has two daughters. Judy and Cathy. Cathy sang on the tribute disk that Jeron Davis had made.

Re: Ira Stanphill

2006-02-25 04:16:52Z

Gaye,
I found Mary Ellen Pryor's file. She had at least 15 children...8 of whom were daughters. Maud Pearl [or Pearl Maud] was the oldest and Flora Magdalinda was one of the younger ones. It all comes down to the fact that your stepfather and Ira had the same gr-gr-gr-grandparents [James and Nancy Pryor of Overton Co., TN] as I. Mary Ellen's parents were John and Candis Malone Pryor of Overton Co., TN. However...if Flora Maggie Engler[ and therefore her siblings] was half Sioux it had to have come down through Jefferson Engler rather than Mary Ellen Pryor although the Pryors and Malones both do have some Cherokee in their bloodline. Hope I haven't confused you even more.

Re: Ira Stanphill

2006-02-24 17:08:24Z

I've got to dig back into the Pryor files but I believe they've got the daughter of Mary Ellen Pryor and Jefferson Engler who married Stanphill listed as MAUD PEARL. Was Maggie Flora a sister and someone was confused as to which sister married whom? Also, if Maggie Flora was HALF Sioux she would have had to have gotten that from the Engler side since I know that although Mary Ellen Pryor was part Indian, she definitely was not a full blooded Sioux or any other tribe. OR....next question.... Did Jefferson Engler have TWO wives??

I'm sooooooo confused! I'll definitely did out the Pryor files and see if I can find a Maggie Flora. In the meantime, if you prefer you can e-mail me directly at
BettyJoe915@aol.com

Re: Ira Stanphill

2006-02-24 15:07:31Z

Birthdates: Ray Sept 5, 1912, Ira 1914, Andrew 1921.
Ira wrote a biography in 1983 called "This Side of Heaven" but does not list birth dates. This book may still be available through a used book seller.

Re: Ira Stanphill

2006-02-24 14:31:53Z

I'll ask mother. Maggie Flora Engler was 1/2 Sioux indian. I recall home movies of her mom sitting on the porch of an unpainted shack, shelling peas. This was in Arkansas. Alas, those are faded and gone.

Re: Ira Stanphill

2006-02-23 23:29:31Z

Thank you so much Gaye for this info. I'm sorry that I didn't have your stepfather listed among the children. Do you have birthdates on the Stanphill sons, too?

Now, all I have to do is figure out how many times removed they are as cousins to me...lol!

Re: Ira Stanphill

2006-02-23 20:41:12Z

Andrew C. Stanphill married Maggie Engler and had Ray, Ira (the song writer and evangelist), and Andrew. Ray (my stepfather) is deceased, Ira died in 1994 and Andrew still lives with wife Mary in Albuquerque. My mom managed Uncle Ira's sheet music business (and my stepfather used a printing press in the garage) for a time in Fort Worth when Ira had a church there. His songs were written out of great personal tragedy. His first wife went into nightclub singing and eventually divorced him. He could not work as an Assembly of God pastor during that time

Re: Stanphill, Stanfield,Salmon, Holder Disheroon Family's where are you ???

Hi,

I am from Red Bay, AL Although I am not very old (37), I remember Helen Robert's research for her book.

During the 70's she researched all my family, and eventually traced the Stanphill's back to England (bath (sp?) I believe.

Although SOMEONE in my family has this book, none seem to want to give it up ?

If you need additional info on this side of the fanily, let me know.

bettyjoegentry — 2004-05-28 11:52:43Z

In the process of researching my g-g-g-grandfather, James Pryor of Tennessee, I learned that on of James' granddaughters, Mary Ellen Pryor born 9/15/1862 d. 7/18/1940 married Jefferson Thompson Engler and had a daughter named Pearl Maud Engler who married a man named Andrew C. Stanphill and had two ons named Ira and Stewart Stanphill.

One of my all time favorite gospel songwriters was named Ira Stanphill and I was wondering if anyone knew if this might be the same man. Ira Stanphill is not that common of a name.

Fred Stanphill married Josephine Morrow. Margie and William were her grandparents.
Need all the help I can get to put everyone together. Spent some time this past weekend making pictures of Stanphill names and Hall names at Ridge Cemetery.
Thanks,

I have some names just do not know how everyone fits together.
My great grandmother Margie Stanphill married William Wallace Morrow. Their son Albert Morrow married Rosella Hall. Their daughter Josephine married her first cousin Fred Stanphill. This is all I know. Need lots of help with the Stanphil line.
