It would appear that the Garlands were a Sussex family. The Timothy and John Garland who were involved in Robert Stanley's probate were likely to be Ruth's brothers, after whom she named two of her sons. A Timothy Garland died in 1608 and was buried in Heathfield, Sussex. After a few minutes of putzing around, I couldn't find any trace of Robert in Sussex. It would be interesting to see if one could trace the Richard Stanley, joiner and see if more could be found in Kent.
