Surnames: Cheairs, Stanley, Needham
You have this the most accurate that I have seen. Basheba Stanley & John F Cheairs Jr were my GGG Grandparents. She is buried about 7 miles from my home and regardless to reports to the contrary John Died in Angelina Co and is most likely buried on land belonging to William Carroll Stanley (Basheba's brother). I have done extensive research and am in possession of court documents that disprove that John F Cheairs Jr died in Houston County. I also have a receipt to Basheba for payment of John's funeral. By the way, Vivian McShan Gray was the GG Grand daughter of Basheba & John. Her lineage is: John F Jr > Samantha Cheairs/ Needham > Samuel Enoch Needham > Emma Augusta"Gussie" Needham/McShan > Vivian McShan/Gray If you would like a copy of these documents you may contact me at kaydnana@earthlink.net Kaydmay

John F. Cheairs,Jr was the son of John Francis Cheairs, Sr and Elizabeth Bugg(she died in 1812) He was born 1812 in Arkansas... died Dec 25,1852 Angelina County, Texas; married -about 1837 to (Lucretia) Basheba Stanley, (I have never been able to document that her name was Lucretia) born June 19, 1803, Alabama, died September 11, 1877, She is buried at Enloe Cemetery in Porter Texas Montgomery County, near her daughter Samantha Marelda Cheairs Needham another daughter Elizabeth Stanley (middle name)Cheairs Robinson and Samantha's husband Kyle Grundy Needham.
I have court documents from Angelina County, Texas appointing Basheba as executrix of the estate of her husband, John F. Cheairs. They state the exact date of his death and the fact of where he died. It lists their children by name and talks about the land he received for serving at San Jacinto. I also have documentation about their other children's marriages and children etc.
I realize that the info you have for him is passed around and generally accepted as fact but a great deal is incorrect. You can contact me directly at kaydnana@earthlink.net if you are interested in correcting your info. I will share copies of the documents as well as info about Basheba's son from her previous marriage to ??? Blount. He is listed on the 1850 Angelina census as Green Cheairs but upon John F's death he began to use Green Blount. I have some court documents regarding this also. Samantha and Kyle Needham were my GG grandparents.

I am new to ancestry - my maiden name is Cheairs - the same spelling - so somewhere there is a connection - I would think - hopefully I can somehow connect - through "leaves" I have connected to Normandy about 1561 or so = Pierre dela Chaire - but have not gone into depth - My email is joycw@aol.com - if anyone has suggestions. Thanks.

Cheairs is my grandmother's maiden name with relatives in Mississippi. I am sure we are probably cousins. Can help you with research if you want, I have been doing this research for at least 10 years.
