| − | Steven Stayner was born 18 Apr 1965, in Merced, California, as the third of five children born to Delbert "Del" Stayner and his wife Mary Katherine "Kay" Augustine (married 1 Jul 1960). On 4 Dec 1972, when Steven was seven years old, he was kidnapped by Kenneth "Ken" Parnell (with the aid of an accomplice) and raised by him as his "son" and sex partner for the next seven years in various California towns, mostly around the Ukiah and Fort Bragg area. Around 1979 or 80, Ken decided he wanted another little son and with the aid of another accomplice kidnapped Timothy "Timmy" White, who was then about five years old. A few weeks later, Steven, while Ken was at work, hitchhiked with Timmy to Ukiah where they went to the police. Both Timmy, who had been missing about two weeks, and Steven missing for seven years, were subsequently reunited with their families. | + | Steven Stayner was born 18 Apr 1965, in Merced County, [[California]], as the third of five children born to [[#Delbert Stayner|Delbert "Del" Stayner]] and his wife [[#Margaret Mary Katherine Augustine|Mary Katherine "Kay" Augustine]] (married 1 Jul 1960).

Del's eldest son Cary Stayner was staying with Jerry at the time, but he had an alibi "...he said that he had been at work when the shooting took place..." and the murder has never been solved. | On 26 Dec 1990, Del's brother Jessy Jerrold "Jerry" Stayner "...a truck dispatcher for a hay company" was murdered, in his house/apartment, in Merced County by a shotgun blast to his chest.

The most likely possibility that I've noticed so far, would be to firm up the supposed descent of Steven from Joshua White (1726-1784), of Joshua White from Daniel Sanbourne (d 1712), of Daniel Sanbourne from Anne Bachiler (d 1632), of Anne Bachiler from Anne Bray (b 1543). This Anne if she can be shown to be a daughter of Edward Bray by his wife Beatrice Shirley, as stated in OneWorldTree has a large and well-known ancestry (see [http://trees.ancestry.com/owt/pedigree.aspx?pid=1003306&st=1 OneWorldTree here]), including, no doubt, several descents from Edward I, King of England. | The most likely possibility that I've noticed so far, would be to firm up the supposed descent of Steven from Joshua White (1726-1784), of Joshua White from Daniel Sanbourne (d 1712), of Daniel Sanbourne from Anne Bachiler (d 1632), of Anne Bachiler from Anne Bray (b 1543).
