My most recent Stanton ancestors are noted on pages 540-541 of the Thomas Stanton book. On page 542, X. George B., bo Jan 3, 1836, married Alpha Bisbee. George is my greatgreat grandfather. I have pictures of his grave and of Alpha's from a cemetary near Hopbottom, Susquehanna Pa. George and Alpha had Frank and Fannie. Alpha died young and George remarried an Orvilla GORMAN. Frank was born in 1865. He married Emma PETERs in 1894 in Scranton, Pa. They had Eugene Thornley, George, Robert James and Frances. They moved to Clarks Summitt by 1920. Eugene had one son--Gene. I am not sure about George and Frances. Robert is my grandfather and he married Helen SPERRY in 1937. They had 2 daughters: JoAnne and Roberta (Bobbi). They lived in Clarks Summit. Anybody researching these lines? I would be most interested to find out what happened to Fannie STANTON b.~1867 or so in Susquehanna County. Rebecca Stanton Hyde RHyde530@msn.com

Greetings. Does anyone out there have a Joshua Stanton of whom they have had no luck tracing? I just returned from a Stanton reunion of which we knew descendants of three brothers and one sister. Had a great time. But this one brother, Joshua, has made us incomplete. The story goes that he went West. We believe that he married 1st a Susanna and 2nd a Rebecca. He was a vet of the War of 1812. Can anyone help? Linda lstanton@kuntrynet.com

I have enjoyed reading all your Stanton info. my oldest documented Stanton line is William H Stanton b 27 Sept. 1839 Garret County, Illinois, youngest son of Reuben & Cynthis Stanton. Wm. H. m Susan A Gaffney in 1863 & they had 8 children: John 1864; James; William A. 1868; Samuel 1870; Jennie 1872; Claude J.;; Harry Gerald 1880 (my line); & Hugh d. Wm. H. died 10 June 1891. Are any of you working on a Stanton line from Illinois? I have no info on Reuben, Cynthia or their other children. Thanks for any help.

Hi I really do hope someone can help. I've been trying to trace my family tree for some time now, to no avail. I was wondering if names could be changed by misspelling or misreading, so l thought l'd go with my feelings and write to all the Stanton's to see what l get. Here goes, I am looking for a George Statom (Stanton) who had a son called Harold Statom (Stanton) born 1904. Does this sound familiar to anyone? If so l would be very grateful if you would contact me, in fact l would be over the moon (so to speak). Thanking you all in advance. Regards Bev Bev@statombarnett.freeserve.co.uk

I keep seeing all these Thomas Stantons coming through but can't connect my Thomas Stanton. Thomas Stanton b. ca 1729; married Ann. 1771 he is living in Bedford Co, PA 1797 he is living in Garrett Co, MD Died 1803 Garrett Co, MD Children: Matilda, George, Azariah, Joshua, James My line is Azariah (Uriah) Stanton b. ca 1772 PA He married Catherine. He was an early settler in Muskingum Co, OH before 1817. Died before 1850 Muskingum Co, OH. Children: Hiram, Alexander and six daughters. Seeking ancestors of my Thomas Stanton and the daughters of my Azariah Stanton. Linda lstanton@kuntrynet.com

Murial, This is an interesting possibility. I guess I have been pounded over the head with the Robert Stanton theory all my life that I didn't recognize two of the names I had been searching for when I read your first post. The circa 1835 date that I gave as Thomas' birth date is just a guess. With him not showing up on any census lists I had to go by the fact that he was probably about 20-22 when My ggrandfather was born. Would have been about the right age to enter the service too, but then men were serving into their 40's as needed so 1835 was not set in stone. 1829 could be correct and since I can't connect him to any of the other Stanton families around that area, it is very possible that he was a first generation immigrant. My grandmother, his granddaughter, always thought the family was English but then she always tried to make herself seem better than she was, no offense grams. I can't see any Irish features in our family and I have pictures of Thomas' son Owen both as a young man and older in life. But also the Stantons in Ireland could have been Scotch which many theories surmise. I am in the process of trying to find out why he was listed as a Vermont volunteer. It could be his wife was from Ohio and they might have moved there just before the war or maybe because he enlisted, she went to live with her parents. I don't know her maiden name or I could probably figure that one out. The first census I find Owen in is the 1870 census. Maybe if someone has the 1850 or 1860 Vermont census (did they have an 1860 census?) they could see if they show up there or in New York. I will have to search for some kind of census listing for Ontario and check that out also. Thanks again for the clues. Some one just gave me some clues as to where he might have gone after the war, but this is the first I have seen anyone that might be his parents and siblings. Stay in touch. this could get interesting.

Hello Denny, I am very new to this list and very recently I entered a query about the family of a James STANTON. There probably isn't any connection. If you read it thoroughly you might have noticed that a brother of James b.Ireland 1833 was touched on. This Thomas was born in Ireland also around 1829. Both had a father James and their mother for sure was Isabella. They entered the port of New York in 1843 and went to Scarborough Ontario. As far as I know Thomas never settled even for a little while in Vermont. I found out just since I submitted this last query that there was a civil war veteran named Christopher STANTON b. 1841 in Ireland. That was the last child James and Isabella had in Ireland. If I find that this Christopher was a veteran and settled in New York City after the war, there is the possibility that other sons of James and Isabella served also and this would include Thomas. I don't consider these STANTONS as Vermont STANTONS in that I have never made a connection with the ones that go way back. However, some others who have taked to me say that I should not rule this out. So let's say I have an open mind. Let me hear from you . Sincerely Muriel C. Allen

Hi, Denny! I don't know if this helps at all, but I'm also looking for a Thomas Stanton. I know practically nothing about the one I'm looking for except that he married Mary Ella Brownfield. Mary Ella Brownfield was born 9-12-1838 in Pulaski Co., MO. She was married 5 times. Her last husband was Thomas Stanton. My great-grandfather was b. in 1873 in MO, and he was from Mary Ella's 3rd marriage, so Thomas and Mary Ella would have married after that. Mary Ella died 6-21-1919 in Roundup, Musselshell, MT, but I don't know if she was still with her 5th husband (Thomas Stanton) at that time, or not. But at least it says that 2 places to look for that particular Thomas Stanton would be MO and Montana. I know this is a long shot, but if he was born around 1835, it would put him in Mary Ella's age range (not that she necessarily stuck to her own age range - records indicate that my great-great-grandfather, her 3rd marriage, was 13 years younger than her). Anyhow, if you've been looking for 70 years, who knows what tip might actually lead you to him. If by remote chance you do find a tie - please let me know. Thanks!

I noticed you had Vermont Stantons. I am in need of a some help in that respect. Most people who know me know I have been searching for Thomas N. Stanton for a long time, some 70 years if you count the time I and my Great Uncle have searched. I just got back a request for his military records from the National Archives. The only thing they had on Thomas was that he was in the 4th vermont Volunteers, Company D and was transferred into the Navy but never shipped. This is contrary to what I know, in as much as I have written documentation by his own hand that he was Master at Arms on the Ironclad "The Benton", Admiral Porters flagship in the Mississippi Squadron. Somebody has their wires crossed but I thought I would take a shot and see if anyone has a Thomas N. Stanton in their Vermont Stanton lines. He and his wife Elizabeth were living in Newark, OH prior to the war and that is where his son Owen lived. Many Ohioans served in other states militia for one reason or another and the inverse was also true. If he was from Vermont there might have been a reason for him to go back and join up. There is no record of a Thomas N. Stanton in the 4th Volunteers, Company D. and the National Archives has no other listing for a Thomas N. Stanton. He did not die in the war but since his wife died either before or shortly after he left and his son was in the care of another family, he left to seek his fortune and we don't know what became of him. The only other pieces of information I have is that his mother's name might be Isabella and he was born around 1835 and was in a raiding party from "The Benton" near Vicksburg in May of 1862. I have the Vermont military historians looking for him and I hoped that some of the Stanton researchers in that are could also help. Thanks for any assistance you might be able to provide.

Hello to everyone I have been on this list just a very short time. I am a newbie as far as the net is concerned but I have worked in genealogy for about nine years. My STANTON line has proven to be the most elusive of all. I know a lot more about this line than I do about other lines but it seems to be a game of hide and seek. I know nothing about their Irish origins and, of course, this is not an unusual problem. But a rarer problem is where did they all go? With the exception of my grandfather John STANTON who was born in 1862 in Vermont probably near Rutland and who died in Boston , Mass in late 1944 everyone else can not be found in any census after 1870 Rutland. I do not recognize them if they do appear. Of course one of the challenges has been Canadian censuses,my lack of real knowledge of Canadian geography,and maybe also a deliberate privacy policy practiced by this family. This game started between the STANTONS and me when they first migrated from Ireland in 1843 through the port of NYC. They stated that their destination was NYC and I believed them. After a few years search in New York I managed to trace them to Scarborough Ontario Canada. This is today the city of Toronto.I can see my grandfather's amusement. He was the only ancestor I had who I really got to know. I asked all kinds of questions but never made any headway. James STANTON SR was born on Ireland @ 1808. His wife Isabella @1812. All the children were listed. There was an outsider,maybe a nanny accompanying them whose first name was illegible but whose surname was GALBRAITH.The children ranged in ages from 14 to 18months old.The oldest was Thomas born around 1829 and the youngest Christopher who may have been born @1841. I am told that this was around the time Ireland began centralizing birth records. If this is so and I had any connections in Ireland maybe I could trace the family this way. If anyone has tried this let me know how this was done.Please! There was a Bridget, Mary Ann, John,Michael, and James STANTON JR. born 1833. Jamed would be my great grandfather. This James does appear in the Vermont 1870 census with his wife Bridget BARRY and their children. My grandfather John was their first child. Most of the children were born in Canada. She was pregnant at this time with another James. He and my grandfather were the only ones born in the USA. I feel quite certain but don't have any real evidence that they were born in Scarborough,Canada. If I can remind you the family merely passed through NYC in 1843. They immediately went to Canada. To get back to the family aboard ship to USA in 1843. One child Bridget, a sister of James STANTON JR and child of James STANTON SR married an Arthur McGINNIS who can be found with his wife Bridget McGINNIS nee STANTON.in Castleton near Rutland 1870 census. What happened to this family? I know my grandfather John did relocate eventually to Worcester and Boston Massachusetts I never found out about the rest of them. I would like to know where they came from in Ireland. I suspect that some if not all of them relocated somewhere in Canada. They did not stay in the Toronto area I think but can not tell for sure. Thanks in advance for listening. Muriel C. Allen e-mail mural4321@earthlink.net They have the same family birth pattern

My ggrandmother was Jane Gates. Her father died Civil War. Her mother Abigial (Margarie) Stanton. After both parents died, Jane and her siblings lived for a time with Hollister Stanton in Van Buren County, MI. Jane did not raise her child but returned sometime after 1880 from Iowa to MI. I have nothing on her except for one letter where she refers to son Alex as baby and he was born 1878. Do you have anything on MI Stantons.

Hi, what Stanton book are you talking about? Where are they from? (Canada or the US?) I have a Stanton/McKnight book called "The Family Tree of Richard McKnight and Matilda Stanton". Matilda Stanton was born in Windham Center, Norfolk County, Ontario in 1837. She is buried in the Carman, Manitoba Cemetary (she died May 6, 1917). Apparently these Stanton's had lived in Trafalgar Township, Wentworth County, Ontario, (near Hamilton) for a time. Then they lived in Norfolk County where Matilda was born, and then they later moved to Norwich. Matilda married Richard McKnight on Oct 9, 1856 on the farm Richard bought from her father. Richard and Matilda lived near Norwich for 21 years and had 7 children. They later moved to Manitoba and stayed there the remainder of their lives. Any relatives out there?
