We all know that many famous americans are descendants of the immigrant Timothy Stanley , it is known that his father was John Stanley and his grandfather Peter Stanley but the ancestry of Peter Stanley is controversial , many genealogy websites make him the son or grandson of Thomas Stanley 2nd Earl of Derby but I don´t see any evidence for that , but it seems of general consensus that him was descendant of the great Stanley family but is there some evidence about his ancestry.

If you are referring to Timothy Stanley of Hartford, Connecticut, then his father was not John at all. See Leslie Mahler's article in TAG 80(2005): 217 et seq.
