Karen, Already in the process. I have been waiting for a researcher in West Virginia who travels to DC once a week to get back to me. He hasn't so NATF form 80 is my next logical step. Probably should have tried it 6 months ago but didn't know you could request it on the net until recently. I have a thing about licking stamps I guess. Thanks to everyone who responded, but I am still hoping someone might recognize Thomas N. Stanton or have info on William P. Stanton.
