I live in Aurora, Wise County, and am a Presbyterian, though a member of a church in another county. However, I may be able to help. I have in my library the Ministerial Directory 1861-1951 of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. That was the name of the portion of the Presbyterian Church that disassociated itself from the North in the time of the War Between the States. So, it is known as the Southern Presbyterian Church or the PCUS. It is not an exclusive listing of Presbyterians, just a fairly comprehensive list of those in the Civil Wary and post time that were in that particular Southern denomination. That being said, there is not a listing for Robert Wilshier Stanfield in that Directory. He possibly could have been of the Cumberland Presbyterian denomination which did have a presence in Texas in those years and still does today. However, I do not have that information with me. You might seek it out in a library. I did find a listing for a Stephen Anderson Stanfield who was a pastor born Feb. 20 1823 and he died January 15, 1874. That is all found in the listing. It does not give any history of where he served. However, he may have been the father of the Robert Wilshier Stanfield you are seeking. I hope this is helpful. D. A. D. A.
