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.
