Sam McGowan was born in approximately 1862-1863 (during slavery in the US or the year the Emancipation of Proclamation was signed) in the state of Mississippi. His father and mother were both natives of North Carolina. Sam was from an area near Holly Springs, Waterford, Mississippi. The US census revealed that there were McGowans living in this area in 1910. Luanna Thomas was born in approximately 1870-1871 in the State of Mississippi. Her parents were natives of Virginia.

The present day Richmond and Stanback family members come from a long line of Christians and were never enslaved in America. Throughout the years, God has been faithful to his word, Deut. 5:9 & 10, "Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments." From a child, I remember hearing my mother, Ellen Richmond Stanback, talk about her grandfather, William (Billy) Richmond who was a devout Christian. According to her, he would pray for hours standing under a tree. Her father, John Ellis Richmond, helped found Antioch church in Victoria, Mississippi. According to the 1910 Mississippi Marshall County census, Henry Richmond was born in 1830, during slavery in the US. His wife's name was Precilla. They were both born in Virginia and moved to Marshall County in Mississippi. Henry and Precilla bore 6 children, Byron, Calvin, William, Annie, Rufus, and Victoria. Their son William (Billy) married Ada Harris, February 18, 1888, and they bore 5 children, Georgie, (John) Ellis, Grover, Ellen, and Boyce. On January 19, 1917, John Ellis Richmond married Ethel Woods. They bore 8 children, Jasper, Ellen, Alfred Lee, John Ellis Jr., Boyce, Martha Ann, Ethel, and Alma. Ellen Richmond Stanback married Eliehue Stanback Sr., the son of Clint Stanback and Eva McGowan Stanback. One need only read the
genealogy of the McGowan, Stanback, and Richmond families to perceive how
good and faithful God has been to them, and he has not finished yet.
God has a purpose for each life that he allows to live on earth, and the
families' prayer is that each member represented on this web site fulfills
his or her God given purpose in life. For this is the only way to
truly live a joyous life on earth and spend eternity with God the Father,
God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
