Robert Graves Stadler
Inscription
Born in Granville County, North Carolina, Robert Graves Stadler was a veteran of the War of 1812 and the Texas War of Independence. He purchased land in this area in 1845 and settled near the already established community of Griffin (2 mi, SE). By 1853, Stadler had encouraged relatives from North Caroline to make their homes here.
He died just as the Civil War began, having laid the foundation for what became the farming community of Blackjack.
