Please check the origin and meaning of STATON.

STATON, STATEN (English) Dweller on the homestead where there was a wharf or boat-landing place. Also, I would look into the possibility that the name could be a corruption of: \ STANTON (English) One who came from Stanton (homestead on stoney ground). It is the name of many places in England. Another reference to stones in at least two cases is their proximity to prehistoric stone monuments. The name has also sometimes been chosen by Ashkenazic Jews as an Anglicization of like-sounding Jewish surnames. ---Source: New Dictionary of American Family Names by Elsdon, C. Smith.
