I do have the Guilford book and have been interested in those Stantons because they sold land to my relatives, but have never been able to find anything about them. Here's what the book says: In 1790 there were three Stantons in Guilford: Moses with 10 in household, Joseph with 8 and Benjamin with 3. Lot #26 was settled by Joseph Stanton, who sold it to Joseph Gaines in 1790. In 1785 Benjamin and and Joseph Stanton deeded it to Isaac Tubbs, and in 1795 Joseph and William Stantion sell it to Joseph Gaines. The book seems to imply that it's the same 100 acres of lot 26 all 3 times, though that makes little sense. But it does suggest that Benjamin, William and Joseph were all related. How Moses fits in I have no idea. But I got interested because both Tubbs and Gaines of Guilford are in my family. There was a Joseph Burrows who settled lot 180, just across the border from Leyden and a James Burrows in 1790 with 4 in household. Lots of other Burrows in book. The Rev. Moses Brown who was the African-American who married Catherine Ross, a Narragansett Indian, seems a fascinating character--apparently he later settled the town of Chilton Wisconsin and seems to have helped runaway slaves on the Underground Railroad. He was born in RI; do you think he could have been n VT in 1790? I'd love to know more. Helga Andrews
