I've been doing research on the Stantons in Granville County, NC. My Lewis Stanton was married there in 1798 to Elizabeth Smith. Am enclosing my notes and thoughts from my Stanton file. Please tell me your ideas on this info. Two heads are better than one. I'm hoping to find something on these other Stantons to link together. Seems very likely that Sally was a sister or cousin of Lewis. He was of age several years before his marriage. In 1796 the Fishing Creek district lists John Stanton with 1 free poll and William Stanton with 1 free poll. 1796 also lists in the Tarr River District Jacob Stanton with 1 free poll, Jacob Stanton ?SR with 480 A. and 2 slaves, and Abram Stanton with 150 A. and 1 free poll. 1797 taxables lists William Stanton in Fishing Creek with 1 free poll. 1797 lists in Epping Forest John Stanton with 1 free poll. 1798 lists, in addition to Lewis, John Stanton with 1 free poll. In 1803 and 1804 in the Fishing Creek district, John Stanton is listed with 1 free poll. (Believe as of Jan 1999 that William Stanton was the father of John and Lewis Stanton and that William Stanton died about 1797.)
