believed TO BE BURIED HERE WITH NO STONE
NOTES FROM
have original charcoal portraits of Charles G. and Gulaelma Cox...they were in my grandmother's trunk
(Leila Elma Wooster (1875-1949 m. Carlos M. Boudreaux (1894).
These items along with others came with the family from Baltimore to Louisiana in 1815..."down the Mississippi on a flatboat...packed in barrels."
Charles Gorsuch Stansbury and Gulaelma Cox were Elma Wooster's great-grandparents...and Caroline lived with my grandmother...
As the oldest daughter Caroline felt compelled to pass on the family history... and be keeper of mementos, etc.
It was she who first drew a "family tree".. starting with a circle of Charles Gorsuch Stansbury and Gulaelma Cox and branching out the eight children.
Caroline also took in and raised several children of a couple of her brothers who died or were killed young.
By the way, my sister's name is Gula Lee... Gula rhymes with Buleah...with a hard G.

Charles and his entire family left Maryland by way of the Ohio River.
Following is the story handed down from one generation to the next by word of mouth.
It seems there were two Stansbury brothers who were very close (William and Charles) and both of them were pretty arrogant and good looking.
They were out on the town one night, maybe Baltimore, but not on their turf.
They went into a bar-- one that was down a narrow flight of stairs which was dark and smoky with candles and oil lamps.
The local gang of toughs who considered this their hangout didn't like the looks of these young interlopers, and the leader told them they could order drinks but they'd never live to drink them!
And the two, being as they were, ordered and drank, throwing the dregs on the advancing gang.
The fight that ensued was a riot, but before the horrified eyes of the Stansbury men, the ring leader went flying across a table, from a punch by one of the brothers and hit his head on something and died on the spot.
The obvious transpired, and the brothers were taken to jail and eventually tried for murder.
The trial was something of a sensation, because of the Stansbury name, and before too long, the two were acquitted and set free.
Unfortunately, the gang members took this as a miscarriage of justice and warned the Stansbury brothers they and their families were doomed.
And that was the reason the two brothers gathered up their worldly goods and loved ones and disappeared.
They went first to New Orleans, where they were for a time, but one of the two brothers was not happy there and finally bade his brother and family goodbye to go "North."
Charles and his family stayed on in Louisiana and he and his family settled in south Louisiana.
They settled around New Iberia and Avery Island.
Charles held a military commission, War of 1812.
