Sherry, Robert Stanton who married Sarah Ellen Templin is our Robert Stanton. Robert was 7 years of age and living with his mother Polly Stanton age 30, Elizabeth age 20, and brothers James W. & Samuel M. Stanton (twins) age 9 months in the 1850 Washington County, TN census. (Don't have my notes in front of me but from memory believe this ages are correct) Their father, Beverly Staunton, (according to Samuel M.'s death certificate) is not shown in the census so we have to assume that he is deceased. Robert's mother is listed as Paullia "Boyles" Staunton on Samuel's death certificate. We feel certain that she was a Broyles and not Boyles. I have a copy of Robert Stanton's death certificate which shows both of his parents as "Unknown". My husband and I have been researching the families of James W. & Samuel M. Stanton since March of 2001. We have located descendants of Robert Stanton living in Oregon but as of yet have not contacted them. I have been in contact with more than one Templin family researcher and they have been unable to give me any information on Robert Stanton or his family. We do know that the Stanton's came into Tennessee via North Carolina and feel strongly that they may have a direct link to Robert Stanton from England. With help from Sevier County historian, Sam Maner, we were able to track the Stanton family back to the early 1820's in North Carolina. It appears that Robert's father, Beverly, was married in North Carolina and that Robert was born there. Beverly's first wife must have died and Beverly then married Polly (Paullia) Broyles who is the mother of the Stanton twins. She could also be the mother of Robert but if so that would put a 7 year age difference between he and the twins with no other children in between. Elizabeth who is living with Polly I believe may be Robert's older sister and child of Beverly by his first marriage. All of this of course is speculation since we have been unable to find family bibles or documents for Robert's family. James W. Stanton is my husband's gggrandfather so Robert Stanton would be his ggg uncle. Last August, my husband, Dan, & I were lucky enough to find a book on Ebay titled "Our Ancestors the Stanton's. As I am sure you know , this book was privately published by William Henry Stanton in 1922. William Henry Stanton is a descendant of Robert Stanton who was born in England in 1599. We are hoping to uncover a clue in the early 1800's to tie our Stanton's into this line. I have a private Myfamily.com website dedicated to the research of our Stanton twins and we host a Stanton family reunion at our home each fall. Are you from the Templin or Stanton side? We are always thrilled when we locate another member of our Stanton family and look forward to sharing more information with you.
