            Robert and Eula have been married four years. S A McClellan is a widow. In this census we find that the enumerator listed his father born in Iowa. In 1900 Robert Stockman is living in Brown County, TX all alone.

Living next door is William McClellan and his wife Sally, Sally is surely the mother of Robert. Here the enumerator tells us Robert’s father was born in OH. In 1880 we find Robert in the family of Charles Stockman, from Ohio who is living in Precinct 4, Lavaca county, Texas, enumerated on Page 448C

            This census tells us that Robert’s father was born in Ohio ca 1855 and his father was born in Prussia. A Look at the 1860 census of Ohio offers confusing information. The only Charles Stockman who was born circa 1855 has a father born in Maryland. Further Research is needed to determine the early ancestry of Robert Jesse Stockman who registered in the draft in World War I in Texas.-//-

Sometime after this census was taken, Gail died and Seth remarried to Lucille Zumbauch Funk and they moved to the Fort Worth Area in Tarrant County, TX where they died and are buried.

            Texas death records tell us that Harriet Lucille Stockman died 2 Dec 1998 in Tarrant County, TX. Seth Samuel Stockman or Samuel Seth Stockman was born 13 Feb 1896 in Marshall County, IN . He was the son of Samuel Stockman and Mary C Yazel. Seth married Emma Gail Amones.

            In 1910 young Seth Stockman is living with his parents, Samuel and Mary C Stockman in Marshall County, IN.
