notes

The second liaison [for Robert Stafford] may have begun about 1850 or so. Apparently the slave was named Judy. Two daughters were born. The elder was named Cornelia. The younger, named Nanette or Nannie, was born on Cumberland Island, June 20, 1854. They were brought up in New Jersey by a white man named George E. Webb, his wife Eliza, and their daughter Sarah E. Webb. Sarah Webb was mentor and tutor to her charges; and she grew especially fond of the younger daughter, Nanette.
