I always thought that sometime in the past I had seen another book written about Thomas but that was many years ago and I could be mistaken. It always stuck in my mind that there were three books. The original large one about Thomas, another much smaller book about Thomas, and then one about Robert. > -----Original Message----- > From: John Ralls [mailto:jralls@ceridwen.fremont.ca.us] > Sent: Friday, June 25, 1999 9:13 AM > To: STANTON-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: Robert Stanton > > > Brian, > Do you know the title or author?

Yup that is the Thomas I'm interested in. Not in my line but it would be useful to start posting that info on the Stanton web pages for people looking for connections to that family.

Brian, Do you know the title or author? I looked in the AGBI on Ancestry and it shows no specific genealogy for Robert (I assume you mean the Rhode Island one who was mentioned here a few days ago). Savage apparently has an entry about him, and the "Genealogy Column of the Boston Transcript" is heavily cited. (That sounds like a useful title for a Family History CD...)

I have some information about Daniel on my web page. My ggg-grandmother was his sister, Mercy/Marcy Stanton.

Does anyone have access to the book written about the Robert Stanton family? Brian Mavrogeorge www.genealogysf.com mavrogeorge@genealogysf.com

Would the kind soul with the Thomas Stanton book please take a peek in the index for an Enos C. Stanton, born in Leyden, MA abt. 1851, and married to Emily Sophia Coates from Charlemont, MA? Enos' parents were George Stanton and Clair Bigels (from Whitington, VT) according to his death certificate (Jan 1897), but I don't know their ages. I don't think we are related to the Thomas Stanton of CT line, but would like to check.

Hi, Stantons, I'm glad to see so much activity on the list lately. It just happens that I got two great bits of information today, and I hope you won't mind my sharing it here. First, a very nice volunteer in CT copied "The History of the First Congregational Church in Stonington, CT" and sent me the entire book! Needless to say, it will take awhile, and I will start transcribing the baptism and marriage dates first. Most of this book is online at genealogy.com (with some missing sections), but I'd like to make it free accesss on the New London County CTGenWeb site. The next announcement is forwarded from Larry Chesebro' and some of you may have gotten the same message. Hope you don't mind my forwarding it, but Larry has a lot of info on these families. If you haven't visited the New London County CTGenWeb lately, give it a try...it is all new! Pat Sabin CC New London County CTGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctnewlon FROM LARRY: Hi all, I finally did it. I've promised and promised but kept trying to get the "last" database update recorded before I updated the home page. I just had to realize updating my records will never end and there will never be a "good" time to update the home page. About 6,000 new entries are now in the home page. I have tried to restructure the "Family Files" prologue and viewing area to streamline the process somewhat. Sanford is a new Family File. Although I have not found another GEDCOM to HTML program as feature robust as my Progenitor, I am trying Gedpage for a new file Descendants of the First Settlers of Stonington, Connecticut . This file contains all my data for the descendants of William Chesebrough, Walter Palmer, Thomas Miner and Thomas Stanton. I wanted to try Gedpage because it provides for "footnotes" of source citations. Only problem with that is that the current version doesn't process Name field source citations! Overall, it doesn't come close to providing the different views and features of Progenitor and it really is a byte hog - more that 24,000 files to do just this one file. Please let me know what your thoughts are between the two processes. For all you "Chesebrough" family missing links, the Alphabetical list by given name of all surname spelling variations of Chesebrough is now up-to-date with about 3,000 names. Please review this for the given names of your family members to see if the spelling variation of the last name has caused us to miss the link to William's descendants. Other interesting updates include Ingraham/Ingram disclaimer details for ancestral links to Slingsby, Mallory and Royal families, Walter Palmer disclaimer details to some published ancestral lineage, Thomas Stanton records that now prove his ancestral lineage to George Washington's family, and a different ancestral lineage for our McCollum ancestry. The Picture Gallery will not be updated until later this week but I have it outlined - just need to now finish scanning and adding he pictures but they will be there by week's end - PROMISE! PLEASE be sure to review your specific lineage and let me know any corrections or additions - and for those of you that I have either not finished or even started what you sent me, please be sure to remind me so I can prioritize your data before the next :) update! I will not go so long between updates again - should be about 90 days between. Enjoy, Larry Chesebro' mailto:lana-stl@inlink.com http://www.inlink.com/~lana-stl Chesebro' Genealogy http://www.my-ged.com/chesebro Chesebro' Genealogy Lite http://www.my-ged.com/cheesbro Chesebro' Incomplete Lineages

I want to thank all of the people that have provided information about my ancesters from the books "Decendents of Thomas Stanton of Connecticut" and "Stantons of Connecticut", during the past couple of days. Now that you have provided the much sought after ancestrial information for my grandfather, I will now put more concentration on trying to discover information about my great grandfather William M. and grandfather Harry Robert from when they lived in Warren Co, PA then moved to and lived in Clarion Co, Pa (1886) in Venango Co, PA (1888) in Alleghany Co, PA (1893- ) and after they moved to WV in the early 1920's. William M. is supposed to be buried in a cemetery on a hill near a crossroad with US 19 someplace between Big Bend, WV and Harrisville, WV. I don't know where Harry Robert is buried, probably someplace in WV. Have a nice day, Don Stanton TeeSquare@ecr.net ICQ# 3352312

Anyone have any info. on Clarissa STANTON m. Baker WESTON, my 3rd G Grandparents. Their dau., Mary Baker WESTON, b. June 22, 1828 in Perry County, Illinois, USA; d. November 14, 1896 in CA; m.

Hi I am working on Thomas Stanton Sr, Said to be born 1689 Orange Co Va. I have had fairly good luck on working him and his children, I have a lot of questions on his wife Sarah, like was she a Robinson, and did THomas have a wife before Sarah, I am begining to think that Sarah wasnt the mother of Thomas Stantons kids. I am trying to find out who Thomas Stanton Srs father was and I am wondering if anyone Knows anything about a John Stanton in Essex Co aroud 1704? I am thinking that perhaps He was Thomas father. Brenda

The other day ther was a message soliciting information re. Elizabeth Bonner. This looks like a different Elizabeth Bonner with a Stanton connection, but I bring it up in case it might be helpful. According to The Throop Tree, by Walter & Beryl Throop, Throop Press, La Mirada, CA, 1971, Elizabeth Bonner b. 1787-1794 m. Rev. Phares Throop b. 1787-1794 of Alexandria, VA (no m. date). Their children were 1) son b. 1794-1804, 2) son b. 1804-1810, 3) Dr. Phares Throop b. 1809, Alexandria d. Mar. 1860, m. Amanda Harwood, 4) Asenath Throop m. Richard Henry STANTON, 5) Benjamin Baden Throop, b. 2 Nov 1813, Alexandria, d 28 Aug 1874 Anderson, TX, m. Annie Reed, b. 1 Jan 1817, Mays Lick, KY, d. 19 Nov 1881, Anderson, TX and 6) Joseph Throop, b. 1820, VA m. Mary C., b. 1820, KY. The Washington, DC Marriage register (online at Family Tree Maker's genealogy library) has the bride's name as Elizabeth Bonne, but that could be an error of the OCR technology used to transcribe the register. I have not yet written to the DC Marriage Registry folks to clear this up. Asenath Throop and Richard Henry Stanton were my GG gp's through their daughter Asenath Throop Stanton, b. 24 May 1843, d. Aft. 20 Jun 1929, said to have been of "Fernbank," OH, (seems to be a neighborhood of Cincinnatti) who m. 1 May 1866, in Maysville, KY Throckmorton Forman, b. 27 Mar 1842, d. aft. 20 Jun 1929. Richard Henry Stanton and Asenath Throop were married in DC on 19 Sep 1833 (again according to The online DC marriage registry). They moved ot Maysville, Ky where he was a lawyer, judge & congressman. See Biographical Directory of the American Congress, 1774-1996, p. 1872. Richard's brother Frederick Perry Stanton was also a congressman (from Tennesee, see. p. 1871). The parents of Richard and Frederick were Richard Stanton and Harriet Perry, married in DC on 29 Sep 1811 (again see the online DC registry). Other than this I know nothing of the ancestry of Richard Henry Stanton and would appreciate any help. I do have some information on two sons of Richard Henry Stanton and Asenath Throop in case anyone is interested. Bob Scheele Madison, WI
