I.	Hibernia Margaret “Belle” Hudson - bom November 28, 1857, and died on October 1, 1931. She married James E. Cruthirds and lived in Saucier, MS, and Jefferson County, TX, with a large family.
J. Olivia Brunette “Nettie” Hudson - bom July 23, 1859, and died in 1945.
She married John Albert Walker on December 5, 1878, lived in McHenry, MS, and had a few children.
X.	Joshua Stanford -bom January 25, 1819, according to his family Bible. Robert Baxter says he died around 1890 from poison he accidentally ate while putting bait in a varmint trap. Joshua is listed in the Marion County censuses of 1850,
1860,	and 1880 and all show him bom in Mississippi. We find what is possibly our Joshua Stanford as an Elder in the Zion Hill Baptist Church as recorded on October 13, 1883. This church was part of the Magee’s Creek Baptist Association, Tangipahoa Parish, LA, which included several LA, parishes. He married three times and had children by each marriage. He first married Mary Murphy on Sept. 2, 1842, and the record is in Marion County Court House. By this marriage he had:
A.	Elizabeth Stanford - bom in 1844 according to the 1850 Marion County census. She also appears in the 1860 census. She married James A.
Pittman on October 19, 1865, in Marion County, MS. She is next found in the 1880 Marion County census, age 45, with her husband and four children: Alvin N., Margaret E., Enoch J., and Joseph E. Pittman. Her headstone in the Thomas cemetery in Walthall County, MS, says she was bom in 1839 and died on June 5, 1900.
B.	Joseph Stanford - bom in 1846 according to the 1850 census of Marion County. He is also in the 1860 census. No further information. The 1850 Marion County “Mortality Schedule” lists a “Mary Standford,” 28 years old, married, bom in Louisiana, and died in January of 1850. We feel that this is probably Joshua’s wife, Mary Murphy.
Joshua remarried to Martha Ann Wallace on May 16, 1850, and the record is in the Marion County Court House. One of their grandchildren,
John Stanford, of Bogalusa, LA, (he is a son of Allen C. Stanford) said Martha Ann was a sister to Governor Theodore Bilbo’s mother. He said that Joshua and Martha Ann Stanford had: William “Bill,” Sarah, Allen Cassel “Carse,” Rebecca Ann, and one that died young. The 1860 census of Marion County lists Martha as bom in 1830 with five children. The following is what we know about Joshua and Martha Ann Stanford’s children:
C.	William Stanford - bom March 24, 1851, died December 24, 1928, as found on his headstone in Washington Parish, LA. He married Martha Rose Evans on December 22, 1870, in Marion County, and they had: Mary A., Laura, Martha, Louisa, Rhoda, Della, William, and Posey Stanford.
