Ellen was not accurate. Mary Flynn Stanton is accurate as John Stanton's mother and came to the US from County Mayo Ireland (probably during the famine) we are not sure if she was alone in terms of a husband but know she had several children. One of those children was the first John Stanton. He was the John Stanton who was my grandfather's father. I am working on getting death records from the library in Mt. carmel PA as part of a paid search. My father spoke with one of his cousins, Hannah Stanton, daughter of Walter Stanton who was my grandfathers brother. I know Mary Flynn Stanton has a census record of owning a home in Mt. Carmel on Chestnut Street in 1890's. I will email you a chart I am working on. It is a draft and not 100% clean but it shows some names that might help. I will send you a link as I hit a brick wall with Mary Flynn Stanton, cemetary records show two exact name matches from what I see. My fathers cousin is going to send me some of her work and I will be more than happy top share that with you. She has apperently spent years on this project so far.
