This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Stanley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Yl.2ADE/1041.1 Message Board Post: Do you know of any descendants of Lemuel Stanley in Scott County or the state of Iowa? Stanleys and their descendants are invited to the fall reunion of the Stanley family in Iowa (all branches). Meet at 9 a.m. on October 2 at the Stockade Restaurant in Mount Pleasant for coffee and sharing of genealogy. I will bring a computer slide program of Stanley sites in England which my husband and I visited in 2004. After lunch at the restaurant we will travel to Salem to visit the Cedar Creek Friends Church, the Salem Friends' cemeteries, and to tour the Lewelling House (an underground railroad station). Lewis D. Savage will direct the tour and share his knowledge of the history of the area and of the Stanleys. Ansalem and Joseph Stanley came to Salem in 1838 - the first Stanleys to come to Iowa. I know of at least three Stanley families who came to Scott County before 1860. Contact me for more information. The only expenses are for your food and entry to the Lewelling Hou! se.
