William H. Stubblefield
Goodspeed's History of Southeast Missouri
Biographies of Scott County, 1888
William H. Stubblefield, a substantial farmer of Scott County, Mo., was born in Johnson County, Ill., March 9, 1840. He is a son of Beverly and Isabella (Henson) Stubblefield, natives of Tennessee and Virginia, respectively. The paternal grandparents, Beverly Stubblefield and wife, were natives of Virginia, who immigrated to Tennessee, and from thence to Kentucky, where they died. Beverly Stubblefield, the father of our subject, emigrated from Kentucky to Illinois, but remained only a few years and returned to Kentucky. In 1854 he brought his family to Scott County, Mo., making the trip with wagons and ox-teams, and made a settlement near Price's Landing. His death occurred in 1855. His widow is now living in Kentucky. They had nine children, six of whom are living: John, Ben, Clay, Mary (Mrs. Richard Stone), Hulda (Mrs. Thomas Giles), and William H. Being but fifteen years of age when his father died, William H. remained with his mother two years longer, when he began work for himself as a farm laborer. When he was twenty years of age, he rented a farm, which he cultivated until he was married, in 1862, to Mary Matthews, when he removed to a farm belonging to the latter near Commerce, Mo. In March 1868, he removed his family to Richland Township, Scott County. After renting land for three years, he purchased the farm on which he now resides. It consists of 520 acres of land, mostly under cultivation, with good improvements. To him and wife have been born two children: William and John B. Mr. Stubblefield is a member of the I.O.O.F. and of the A.O.U.W. Politically, he is a Democrat.
