Joseph Stonebraker - Probably the fourth child of John Dietrich II and Rebecca
Stonebraker, may have been the husband of Lavina Stonebraker.
Joseph Stonebraker and his 1st wife were enumerated in the 1840 Census of Lawrence
Co., KY.Joseph Stonebraker and his 2nd wife were enumerated in Lawrence Co., KY in
1850, and again in Jackson Co., KS in 1860, 1870 and 1880.Joseph’s 1st wife is as yet
unknown.His 2nd wife,Louisa Chaffin (a.k.a. Louvina, Eliza, Nancy and Nandcy) gives
her parentage in the 1880 census as French.Joseph and Louisa were married in Lawrence
Co., KY, on 3 May 1843 as per Broderbund CD #2 KY marriages. From the names of
their children, William M., John, Rebecca, and Joseph A. it seem likely the Joseph is a son
of John Dietrich and Rebecca Stonebraker.Additional circumstantial evidence is:
1.The identification of William M.’s middle name as “More” by a Joseph Stonebraker researcher,
is in keeping with the belief of Dr. Eater that Rebecca’s maiden name was either Moore,
More or Mohr and the facts that John and Rebecca’s youngest son was named William M.
and their grandson, the son of Sophia Stonebraker Seal was also William M.
2.Joseph’s location in Jackson Co., KS is in keeping with oral history among the
decendants of George Stonebraker in Lincoln Co., MO that recall visits from their Uncle
Joseph Stonebraker.A trip by river boat on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers would be
fairly easy.
3.If the recording of Joseph’s 2nd wife as “Louvina”in the 1850 census of Lawrence Co., KS
were a case of mistaken identity of "Louisa" and “Lavina” was actually the name of Joseph’s
1st wife, deceased, then the mystery of the “Lavina Stonebraker” that signed a land deed in
Bullitt Co., KY in 1832 and the parentage of this Joseph Stonebraker would be solved.
