I'm not sure this information will help you, but it is worth a try. Since Hanover Co. is a burned county, one frequently has to find substitute records. Louisa Co., VA was formed 1742 from Hanover Co., and in the deed books, at least for the early years, there are MANY references to residents of Hanover Co., VA. I use as my frequent references the several books compiled by Rosalie Edith Davis of Manchester, MO. In her book entitled Louisa County, Virginia Tithables and Census 1743-1785 [published by author, 1988], I find several Stanleys listed. (The Harrises, from whom I descend--at least one family of them--are too numerous to make any deductions). There are variant spellings: Standley, Standly, Stanley, Stanly. Here are the first names: John Sr. Nathan Isaac John Nathan Zachariah Zackr. Thos. Since you live in Richmond, perhaps you can find some vestry books which will help you to narrow your search. Much info about the colonial Harrises has been garbled--but the one to whom I am linked lived mostly in Louisa (after the split from Hanover Co.) and later in Albemarle Co. Sometime a prolonged study of the pre-Revolutionary land patents (which are online--at least the abstracts are) MAY help narrow your search. E.W.Wallace
