Notes for BENJAMIN FRANKLIN "DOCK" STUBBLEFIELD, SR.:
According to Ben's great grand-daughter, Lorene Shelton, Benjamin looked Native American. It has always been said that the Stubblefield family was of Native American descent. I think it is from the Minor bloodline that was believed to be Mulungeon Indians.
