Notes for THOMAS "THOM" STANTON III:
****************************************
Our recording of Thomas' ancestors was once thought to be incorrect based on the following:
In "The American Genealogists" Volume XIV, D. L. Jacobus, New Haven, Conn. 1937, is an article by Clarence Almon Torrey, PH. B of Dorchester, Mass - The Stanton-Washington Ancestry". Almon consulted published works on Oxford students and John Burke's "A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland". From these records "it is evident that Thomas Stanton, son of Thomas and Katherine (Washington) Stanton, remained in England; that he entered Oxford, aged 17 years, in 1634; that he married Elizabeth Cookes and had a son Thomas,
who was 17 in 1664, when he was admitted to Oxford."
But we believed the ancestry was correct according to the following:
Anna Chesebrough Wildey, page 535, sources the pedigree of Thomas Stanton's ancestors from page 277 of the "Visitation of the County of Warwick in 1619, Taken by William Camden Clarendieux, King of Arms; Harleian Miscellany 55 - 1167", Edited
by John Fetherstone, F. S. A.; London: 1877; Vol. XII of "Harleian Miscellany Soc'y", Est. 1869. This information was provided her by Dr. George Dallas Stanton of Stonington. The pedigree:
1 Thomas (1) Stanton de Longbridg, County Warwick, whose son,
2 John (2), m. Elizabeth filia Townsend de Wallis.
5 Their son, Thomas (3), 2d filius de Woolverton, m. Maria seniora
George Pudsey, in Langley, in County Warwick.
10 Thomas (4), fil. et haeres bap. 1619, aet 24 m. Katherine Washington,
filia Walteri Washington de Radway, in County Warwick. Children:
+ Thomas (5) fil et haeres, aet. 3, 1619.
Alicia (5) aet. 6 diurnum, 1610, sept. 3.
Thomas, the immigrant, would be 17-18 years of age in 1634 and 18-19 years of age when he arrived in America in 1635. So then, who was the Thomas that attended Oxford? Thomas, the immigrant, may well have left Oxford shortly after enrolling.
Thomas, referenced by Torrey and now known as "Lord of the Manor" was born in 1620/21, was only 13-14 years of age, and had not been born at the time of the Visitation previously quoted.
We searched for more definitive information to determine, one way or the other, the correct lineage of Thomas Stanton the immigrant and his family in England. Meanwhile, we recorded information of Thomas' ancestors as recorded by Anna Chesebrough Wildey.
Now, we have been rewarded with confirmation that Anna Chesebrough Wildey was correct! The Thomas Stanton Society Newsletter, Number 4, May 1999 states the following (with references to Clarence Terry, author of the article in "The American Genealogist" that quoted the Torrey article mentioned above):
"Terry begins his case by quoting 'The Visitation of Warwickshire in 1619' in which the parenthood of Thomas is given as Thomas Stanton Sr., and Katherine. They had two children: Thomas Jr., heir, born in 1616 and Alice born 6 days before the visitation. To this point we are all in agreement.
We learn from Terry that an Oxford alumni society has provided enrollment records involving three generations of Stantons: Thomas Sr., Thomas Jr., and a third Thomas whom we claim has been wrongly identified. The reasons for our opinion lies on the Stanton memorials found on the wall of Wolverton's Church, St. Mary the Virgin. Here, Thomas Stanton, Lord of the Manor, was born in 1621 and died in 1664. His birth was two years AFTER the visitation. This Thomas married Elizabeth Cooks, the daughter of Edward (This was so noted by Terry in referring to the chart 'Staunton of Longbridge, 1835'). It was also found on the church memorial. Another memorial notes the birth of Thomas, son and heir of Thomas and Elizabeth, born 1646, died 1715 (He was the third Stanton on the Oxford list).
Terry was not aware of the church memorial that revealed a second Stanton child in the family to carry the name Thomas.
Oxford records as quoted by Terry, tell of Thomas Stanton Sr. born in 1595, enrolling in Jan. 1610 at age 15. He was the father of Thomas Stanton (Staunton) Jr., 1st son of Thomas of Wolverton, enrolled July 1634 at age 17. A third Thomas, 'son of Tho. Of Wolverton, co. Warwickshire, gent' was born. He claims him the son of Thomas and Elizabeth. That makes him the nephew of our Thomas, not the son as reported.
We now have two Thomas Stantons born of Thomas and Katherine (Washington) Stanton. The first son Thomas is spelled out in the visitation chart. The second son Thomas is called out in the 'Staunton of Longbridge' chart; in addition, he is identified as the spouse of Elizabeth Cooks. Clarence Torrey finishes his case by declaring 'these details make it necessary to abandon the theory that the Stonington, Conn., settler was the son of Thomas and Katherine (Washington) Stanton.'
He further states, 'A search for his true origin might prove difficult but certainly not a hopeless undertaking.'
Thomas Stanton's Last Will and Testament could not be found for over 300 years; we have found it. Two memorials have been hanging on the wall of St. Mary the Virgin Church in Wolverton for well over 200 years. We have found them also.
They substantiate the Stanton pedigree. Thomas Stanton the Stonington, Conn. Settler, is indeed the son of Thomas and Katherine (Washington) Stanton.
The undertaking was 'difficult' but certainly not 'hopeless'.

**********************************************
1. Thomas, in many documents, sailed to Virginia from London in 1635 aboard the "Bonaventura", went to Boston, Massachusetts in 1636 and removed to Hartford, Connecticut in 1637. His arrival in America at Virginia is now believed incorrect. Bernard Stanton, president of the Thomas Stanton Society in "The Thomas Stanton Society Newsletter", Number 15, February, 2002 article "Thomas Stanton's 1635 Voyage to America" includes:
"The schedule was to sail for Johnstown, Virginia. At least that was what was shown in print."
"The long journey exceeded 3000 miles and had taken a full two months. Thom would view this as an experience of a lifetime.
There is no record of him ever repeating it.
Excitement began to swell at the first glimpse of Boston Harbor. The ship maneuvered thru several others anchored in the maze.
Thom's heart would quicken as the Bonaventura eased up to the dock."
2. On January 25, 1649 Thomas, fluent in the Indian tongue and prominent as an interpreter was appointed official Indian Interpreter - $25 annual salary.
From The Cambridge Press: 1638-1692, Books for Libraries Press, Freeport, New York; , Copyright 1946, University of Pennsylvania Press, Reprinted 1968 by Arrangement. References to Thomas Stanton, interpreter and opinion of Eliot.
Pages 157-8
'Mr. Eliot is preparing to print a Cattichisme of the Indian Langwige which wee shall further (as wee may) by disbursing the charge of paper and printing out of the stock but by some due allowance shall Indeavor to Incurrage Thomas Stanton to assist in the worke; who is the most able Interpreter wee have in the countrey for that Langwige that the worke may bee the more perfectly carried on; Wee have advised Mr. Eliot etcet: that if heerafter they publish anythinge about the worke of God upon the Indians they send it to the Corporation and leave the dedication to them which wee hope will be attended.
It is left to the two Commissioners for the Massachusetts to give order for the printing of five hundred or a Thousand Catechismes in the Indian langwige and to allow paper and the charge of printing: and that the worke may bee carried on the more exactly and to better satisfaction It is ordered that Thomas Stanton's healp be used in the same.'
The reference to Stanton is significant. It shows that from the beginning those who were best informed about affairs had doubts regarding Eliot's mastery of the language into which he was courageously and confidently translating the Word of God. Stanton was a frontiersman who made his headquarters in the Narragansett country, trafficking with the natives who lived west of the bay of that name. The English authorities repeatedly had occasion to realize that he possessed an unusual understanding of what the natives thought as well as what they said. He was highly valued as an irreplaceable intermediary who had proved himself in many delicate negotiations. He did not, however, possess an equally sympathetic appreciation of the thoughts and aspirations of the Apostle and those who supported Eliot in what he desired to convey to the heathen. Even the Commissioners, who were worldly-wise men of affairs, occasionally found both the form and the substance of Stanton's language inconsistent with a proper regard for their own dignity. As a collaborator in the delicate task of expressing in a language hitherto unwritten what the words of the Sacred Scriptures meant to a seventeenth-century Protestant divine, Stanton lacked essential qualifications. The persistence of the Commissioners in trying to utilize his knowledge culminated in an interview before them at which Stanton was asked to express his opinion of Eliot's translation in the presence of the translator and other local clergymen. The frontiersman's opening remarks led the ministers to leave the room abruptly, sending back word that never again would they permit him to enter their presence. The civil authorities could not dispense with his services so easily. Within a decade the Commissioners paid for printing another catechism adapted with Stanton's help for the use of the natives living near New Haven."
Page. 173 -
"The commissioners meanwhile, getting no encouragement from London, endeavored to induce Eliot to accept assistance from those who had known the natives more intimately, with what result appears from a letter to him dated September 25, 1654:
'We desired that Thomas Stanton's help might have been used in the Catechism printed and wish that no inconvenience be foudn through the want thereof; and shell now advise that before you proceed in Translating the Scriptures of any parte of them you improve the best hleps the country affords for the Indian language that if it may be these south west Indians (some of whom as we are now informed desire help both for reading and to be instructed in the things of God and Christ may understand and have the benefit of what is printed.'"
3. In 1650, with his family remaining in Hartford, Thomas built a trading post on the west bank of the Pawcatuck. In 1651 Thomas joined William Chesebrough, the first white settler in 1649, as one of the early settlers and planters in what would become Stonington, New London County, Connecticut. Thomas' family removed to Stonington in 1657 living in a house close to his trading post.
4. In 1656 Thomas purchased what was to become known as the "ancestral Stanton farm" on which only his descendants lived on until Joseph Stanton Williams, his 4th great-grandson. The original deed for the farm follows:
"Know all men by these presents that we Thomas Beebe and Nathaniel Beebe of Pequot do sell and make over all our land at Mystic to Thomas Stanton, for him and his heirs forever, that is to say the farm adjoining to Captain Denison on the south and with John Gallups on the north butting towards the river on the west Mystic River, and on the east end Captain Denisons; this tract of upland is in estimation two hundred acres more or less, with eight acres of meadow more or less adjoining to the aforementioned said land which forementioned land, with all appurtenances belonging thereunto, we firmly sell and deliver to Thomas Stanton and his heirs forever to enjoy and posses quietly without disturbances from us or our heirs or assignes, and do bind ourselves to free the said Thomas Stanton from any molestation or claims or demands whatsoever in or about the aforesaid land to the true performance hereof we bind ourselves, heirs, executors, administrators or assigns firmly by these presents this second of January 1656.

5. Thomas and/or Samuel Chesebrough, Sr. are believed to have originated the word "Stonington" as the name for what became the town of Stonington.

6. For many years Thomas' will was believed to have been destroyed by fire during the Revolutionary War, even possibly the responsibility of Benedict Arnold. Many historians and genealogists unsuccessfully searched for it. Finally it was accidently discovered in the Hartford, CT state library in 1987.
Probate approval did not occur for more than 40 years because of continued controversy. From "The Thomas Stanton Society Newsletter", Number 28, June-July, 2005:
"Land holdings were vast and scattered, and boundaries were unclear. Terms of the will were loaded with ambiguities. Too much emphasis had been put on good intentions and mutual understanding among the many beneficiaries. Brothers were told to share the homestead equally, sisters were told to equally divide 400 acres between two rivers, and Anna his wife was instructed to sell off land as she 'sees fit'. Anna was also appointed as the arbitrator in disputes and to seek the guidance of two sons-in-law. Much trouble ensued, as happens in most families, and there were other complications, outside the family, that took years to untangle.
Daniel Stanton sold a tract of land to his brother Thomas in 1681. It was duly witnessed by their mother Anna, but not acknowledged before a magistrate and its validity was questioned.
In still another instance during those unsettled times, 55 Mohegan Indians claimed in 1714 that their sachem Oweneco had oversold the western part of their lands. The area in dispute included the 20 acres in New London that Thomas had left to his son Joseph on the west side of the river, the lands given to his daughter Mary Roges at Green Harbor and Robin Hoods Bay, and the 40 acres given to her in Groton, on the river.
During the long period of controversy, tracts of land changed ownership as if the titles were clear. Anna, wife of Thomas died within 12 years and the children themselves grew old. In 1709 Nehemiah Palmer, husband of Hannah, made an effort to
administer "some parts" of the estate. He was rebuffed and withdrew. One by one the children died, Daniel, Joseph, John and Sarah. Finally on April 11, 1718 the oldest child Thomas died. Rev. James Noyce applied renewed effort and two months later got an agreement from what was left of the family. It was June 11, 1718; the will was approved and duly recorded. It had been in contention for 40 years, 6 months and 9 days, truly remarkable."
Thomas' will, filed on microfilm in the Private Controversy Collections, Series #2, Volume 24, pages 148a, b, c, and d and the Probate order for recording is filed under Journal Book No. 2, page 29, New London, CT:

ii. CAPT. JOHN STANTON, SR11,12, b. 1641, Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut; d. 31 Oct 1713, Stonington, New London, Connecticut.
Notes for CAPT. JOHN STANTON, SR:
1. John had studied at Harvard but never graduated. He was a pupil of the famous old school teacher of the Puritans, Elijah Corlet. In 1654, he and John Minor, son of Thomas Minor, were selected by the Court of Commissioners to be educated for teachers of the Gospel to the Indians. Both left their studies and followed other pursuits
2. In 1664 John became the first Recorder of Southertown, Massachusetts which later became Stonington, Connecticut.
3. February 18, 1675, John was commissioned captain of one of the four Connecticut Regiments in King Philip's War. His command captured Canochet, the Chief Sachem of the Narragansetts Indians. During this year John and four other selectmen presented a petition and protest to the General Assembly of Connecticut, on behalf of Stonington about laws unjust to their rights, peace and property. For doing so Captain George Denison was fined 10 pounds and forbidden to hold office and John "the towne's agent, for management of his agency, is fined ten pounds for that boldness, to be paid at the latter end of summer, at Boston, in money or corn, according to order." King Philip's War ended and May, 1677 the fine had not been paid and was revoked.
4. May 10, 1710, a deed of trust was executed in favor of Captain John Stanton and four others, by which the eastern part of the Mohegan Indian lands was forever settled on the Mohegan tribe, under the regulations of said five and their successors, "so long as there shall be any Mohegans found or known of alive in the world."
5. A few years before his death, John gave son Joseph the homestead farm in Stonington, and sons John and Thomas all the land in Preston, Connecticut. Theophilus was living at the time. His will confirms these gifts of land. In 1737 his son John applied to the New London probate court for an equitable division of the Preston lands between him and his brother Thomas. The homestead farm in Stonington was on the banks of the Mystic River where the mansion was still standing ca 1891. The farm, of 300 acres, adjoined John Gallup's on the west and Captain George Denison's on the north. The pe-quot-se-pos brook was the dividing line between the Stanton and Denison lands. A few years before 1891, while opening a gravel bank near the site of John's house, laborers found bones in a space of about six or eight feet and well stoned. Doctor George D. Stanton visited the location and believed it was the burying place of John and his family.

While in Stonington, Joseph was appointed assistant magistrate to hold court in New London, New London, Connecticut with his father who was magistrate.
2. Boston records describe Joseph as "Joseph Stanton of Squanicot, Narranganset county, King's Province" and on a lease dated November 20, 1685 "half the farm or neck named Quannecontague, where I do now live". This land, then part of Charlestown, Washington, Rhode Island later became part of Westerly, Washington, Rhode Island.
3. May 1714, Ben Uncas and 54 other Mohegans signed a paper affirming Oweneco had wrongfully sold a great part (western) of their lands and they then consigned what was left to a "Joseph Stanton" and 4 others. It is not know if this Joseph was Joseph Senior or Joseph Junior but the land continued to be owned by descendants of Joseph through at least 1858.
4. Joseph received half of the estate of his father-in-law's (Joseph Mead) will of 1683. The other half went to Joseph's mother-in-law. In the will, Joseph was charged £20 for clothing furnished to Joseph's daughter Hannah.
