(8) 1930 Census, Doddridge County, WV (Cove District), No other reference to her by this or a similar name has been found. "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 381, provides name as Vicky Stansbury, while obituary of daughter Mary gives it as Vicey Stansberry, her marriage record and the obituaries of husband and daughter Hannah give it as Vicy Stansberry, and obituary of half-sister Dona Stansberry Kincaid gives it as Vicie Stansberry Huff. Her own obituary identifies her as Mrs. Vicy S. Huff, daughter of the late Frank and Evelyn Clayton Stansberry. Her mother has elsewhere been incorrectly identified as Louie Daugherty, but her survivors included seven half-siblings, so the confusion stems from the 1890 remarriage by her father. (9) Obituary.
