Dr. John O. Tunstall, the son of John Tunstall and Frances Martin, was born on March 18, 1791 in Bedford County, Virginia. He was married three or four times. His first wife has been named both as Martha Stewart and as Patsy Jefferies. Martha Stewart has been named only as the mother of the John O. Tunstall, who was born on January 28, 1815 in Bedford County, Virginia. Patsy Jefferies has also been named as his mother in other records. Was Martha the mother of John O., Jr. and Patsy Jefferies the mother of sons Thomas Milton, b. ca 1824 and James O., b. on August 14, 1828 in Arkansas? Patsy is accepted as the nickname for Martha. Is it possible that they are the same person and that one of the names was her maiden name and the other name was her name from a previous marriage. She is not with him at the time of the 1830 Census of Chicote County, Arkansas. She apparently died between James O.'s birth in 1828 and the date the 1830 census was taken.
John O. Tunstall's next wife was Frances "Frankie" Patterson, the daughter of Joseph Patterson and Sarah "Sallie" Martin, who were originally of Leesburg, Loudoun County, Virginia. Was there a connection between Frances Martin, wife of the elder John Tunstall and Sarah Martin, wife of Joseph Patterson? Frances was born about 1818 in Kentucky. They were married about 1839 and were the parents of: Dulcenia Bonaparte, b. ca 1840; and Josephine R. b. ca 1844.
His next wife was Josephine Patterson, the older sister of Frances, who was born about 1814. They were married about 1845. Josephine Patterson Tunstall died on December 20, 1861 in Grayson County, Kentucky.
John O. Tunstall died on June 14, 1859. He was buried in the Tunstall Cemetery on a hill top near Lone Star in Grayson County, Kentucky. Also in this cemetery are stones marked with J.B.T., J.O.T., AND E.T.
VPB Speculation: It is possible that the J.B.T. was actually J.P.T. and that this was the stone for John O. Tunstall's wife Josephine Patterson Tunstall. It is my opinion that the J.O.T. stone belongs to son James O. Tunstall and the E. T. stone is for James' wife Eliza Shrader Tunstall. These stones have no dates.
