Welcome SSSTATZER and thanks for the clarification! We'd love to hear more.

You got me Googling:

The Statzer Quartet are mentioned under the "Holston River Boys " on this page: one of them is actually Stafford Statzer. They're from Abingdon, as Mike Seeger said. There are additional Google results on various Statzers in that area singing in various groups:

Shiloh Quartet from 5/31/09. The group is comprised of Rev. Walter Statzer, Mildred Statzer, Omar Barker and Frank Hanger. click

The Chestnut Grove Quartet, relatives of Rev. Walter Stazer (including Mildred Statzer) click, also at CDBaby click (check the notes/article there from Bluegrass Unlimited magazine), on YouTube.
