The following is a simplified summary of how I am related to the Stringfield line:
1.)Mamie Cordeliat Stephans & Jacob Miley BEVERIDGE
2.)Cassandra Ann Bush & Unknown Stephans
3.)Catherine "Kitty" Ann Johnson & Ransom Amos BUSH
4.)Cassandra Stringfield & James JOHNSON
5.)Possibly - William Ray Stringfield and his first wife - (the only known fact in this generation is that Cassandra Stringfield's stepfather was Henry Eaton and that she was born in Kentucky supposedly around 1774.A Henry Eaton married Abigail Stringfield 9 Nov 1816 in Barren Co., KY)It is also possible that Cassandra Stringfield is the second wife of James Johnson having married her 1818.)
Mamie Cordelia Stephans - daughter of Cassandra Ann Bush aka Cassie and aka Cason and an unknown Stephans.Mamie was born 11 Jun 1875 in St. Joseph, MO.Cassandra A. Bush was first married to Bozadah Logsdon - son of Thomas IV and Keziah Smelser LOGSDON.

RANSOM AMOS BUSH was born October 27, 1822, and died July 04, 1869 in Hart County, Kentucky. He married CATHERINE ANN JOHNSON December 25, 1843 in Barren County, Kentucky, daughter of JAMES JOHNSON and CASSANDRA STRINGFIELD.
RANSOM AMOS BUSH:
Ransom was a member of the Green River Masonic Lodge No. 88 in Munfordville, Kentucky. In 1869, he was a Master Mason.
Burial: July 05, 1869, Hart County - Old Bush Cemetary, Kentucky
Cause of Death: smallpox
CATHERINE A. JOHNSON
Burial: August 08, 1899, Hart County - Old Bush Cemetary, Kentucky
Occupation: Housewife
Catherine "Kitty" Ann Johnson is the daughter of James Johnson and Cassandra Stringfield.Catherine "Kitty" Ann Johnson was born 4 Jan 1822.
Cassandra Stringfield's birthdate at this point is unclear.In her marriage to James Johnson, her stepfather, Henry Eaton signed off on her marriage.There is a marriage of a Henry Eaton and Abigail Stringfield on 9 Nov 1816 in Barren Co., KY.
Based on theory and some speculation, William Ray Stringfield, born ca. 1750-1760's is married to an Abigail (Gibbs).He dies 4 Mar 1814 supposedly on his way home from involvement in the War of 1812.Death is said to have occurred in Canada.
Based on the clear understanding that Cassandra was a Stringfield and that her stepfather was Henry Eaton who married a Abigail Stringfield in 1816 and that Abigail - wife of William Ray Stringfield became a widow in 1814 - that this is the link into the Stringfield line.
The one problem is that William Ray Stringfield and Abigail Gibbs did not marry until 21 Feb. 1799 which is after the speculated birth of Cassandra Stringfield.It is then possible that according to one researcher that Cassandra's mother is the first wife of William Ray Stringfield.

THE GOODSPEED HISTORY OF WILSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE
BIOGRAPHICAL APPENDIX
(originally published 1886)
J. C. JOHNSON is one of nine children born to the marriage of James and Cassandy Johnson, natives of the Old Dominion, were born in 1772 and 1774, and died in 1848 and 1846, respectively. They were married about 1800, and came to Tennessee in 1806, where they purchased land and followed the occupation of farming. Our subject, J. C. Johnson, was born in Wilson County, Tenn., December 20, 1816. He was reared on a farm. and his education was obtained in the district schools near his home. December 23, 1841, he led to the hymeneal altar Miss Locky Craddock, daughter of Richard and Nancy Craddock. She was born in February, 1817, and departed this life July 20, 1864. To them were born these children: Richard, Locky (wife of Lewis Tribble), Mary J. (wife of H. C. David), Emily (wife of T. K. David) and Dr. J. H., now a practicing physician of Nashville. After attaining his twenty-first birthday our subject went to West Tennessee, where he remained one year and then returned home and began managing his father's farm. For his second wife he wedded Mrs. Malissa (Bedel) Branch, who was born June 24, 1833. They have three children: Joseph M., Andrew and Ida. Mr. Johnson is a well-to-do farmer, and has always contributed liberally to church and school organizations. He is a Republican, and was strongly opposed to secession. He and wife are members of the Missionary Baptist Church.
I know that the above may not make clear sense, but I am working on the proof and will move on from there.Any help that you can be, is appreciated.
