Alexander and Rosa Stoops daughter...
Francis Susannah Stoopes (the last name of 'Stoopes'is on her marriage record) married William Claiborne Dunlap in Knox County, Tennessee, about 1851.Alexander and Rosa were listed in an accidental death notice for Elias, a son.Rosa was in W.C. and Francis' household in the 1860 or 70 household at the census.In the 1840 Sevier County census both Elias and his mother Rosa were in the Tennessee Census.Elias must have traveled back to Virginia where some of his family was and died there in an accident.My guess is that Alexander had died before 1840 when his Rosa and Elias showed up in Tennessee.I am relating this off the top of my head; therefore, I do not have definite Virginia dates.Alexander and another Elias were found in the Virginia census, I believe in 1820.This Elias was much older than the son; therefore, I assumed that he was a brother of Alexander.I have given you this information hoping someone will have more information to share with me about this family.Thanks in advance.Carrie
