  	20260330GHLn- John Miles Stafford Contributed By K KimConley2 For the longest time I was unable to identify John’s parents – the line simply stopped at John. Then, in early December of last year, I received a message from someone on Ancestry.com who matched my DNA profile. Here is an excerpt from this message: We have family lore that John Miles Stafford was “raised by the Compton’s” from the memoirs of one of his grandsons and as it turns out, our Y-DNA is a match for the Compton surname. That tells us that John Miles Stafford was born out of wedlock to a COMPTON male and a STAFFORD female, and we are nearly certain of who the couple is, and believe that it is John Compton Jr. and probably Absolem’s daughter Sarah Stafford. Absolem Stafford and John Compton Sr. (father of John Compton Jr.) shared a property line in Tazewell Co, VA and can also be found living in very close proximity during the years of their migration from the east coast.
