I am trying to sort out Prudence Stanton (or Staunton) who married Robert Fargo. Her headstone says she was born 1734 - she died 19 Jul 1818 in New London, probably Montville. I do know Prudence had a brother named John - no other info on him. There is a Prudence, b. 22 Apr 1726 in Stonington - daughter of Thomas and Thankful Denison. That man did have a duaghter named Prudence, but she married Giles Russell and did not have a brother John. One researcher says Thomas was b. 7 Apr 1708 in Groton. Married 20 Mar 1732 Lucy Bailey and had a child Thomas b.14 Jan 1745. The researcher shows a second marriage for Thomas, with a spouse b. 1715 and a marriage date of 1735. This unnamed spouse is supposedly Prudence Stanton's mother. Thomas is indentified as a son of John Stanton and Ann Huchison, and grandson of Thomas Stanton and Sarah Denison. No sources given. I have information on Thomas and Sarah - I do not show a son named John for them. Another researcher has Lucy Bailey, b. 10 May 1712 married to Thomas Stanton, b. 7 Apr in Groton, with child Prudence, b. 1734 in Groton. This Lucy's parents were Thomas Bailey and Jane Wilba, who married 13 June 1711. No further info and no sources. Does anyone have knowledge of these various Thomas Stantons and can confirm - or more likely deny - these claims? Prudence's ancestry has not been solved by professionals - maybe the wide reach of the Internet will pry it loose. Thanks, Ann Marr
