Family of George and Bethia Standley
Family of George and Bethia Standley
Generation No. 1
1. GEORGE1 STANDLEY was born Abt. 1635, and died July 18, 1698 in Beverly, Essex Co., Massachusetts. He
married BETHIAH LOVETT Abt. 1670 in Salem, Essex, MA, daughter of J OHN LOVETT and MARY GRANT. She
was born June 13, 1652.
Source: Gedcom published at ancestry.com by Leonard W. Crean (crean@aol.com.) of Salem, MA. Through
subsequent contact, Mr. Crean added further information regarding lineages of George Standley's sons. A primary
source was sources the Beverly mirofilm of the city books were in family format.
From the preface: "Nov. 07, 1668, at a session of the General Court, the vote of the town of Salem consenting to the
separation was presented and 'The Court, on pervsll of this returne (sic) judge it meete to grant that Basse River be
henceforeth a towneship of themselves, referring it to Salem to accomodate them with lands and bounds suitably for
them, & that it be called Beverly'. On Sept. 11, 1753, part of Salem was annexed. On April 27th, 1857 part of the
town was annexed to Danvers. March 23, 1894, the town was incorporated as a city. ...........By 1765, the
population of Beverly was 2,164."
Bethia was most probably Bethia LOVETT. "New England Marriages Prior to 1700", page 701, by Clarence
Almon Torrey (Genealogical Pub. Co., Baltimore, MD, 1985 states her maiden surname as Lovett. However, there
is an error probably a typographical error, which gives b. date 1671. and think it was meant to read m. date 1671.

I am a professional genealogist and historical researcher. For more than 10 years I have been working [part time]
on a book on the "Desc. of George and Bethiah STANDLEY of Beverly, Mass." Because of this the "Standley book
project" sits on the back burner most of the time. But, about once ever two months I get a letter like yours and I fill
in a few more page's [and add a few weeks of additional research] to the project. The book is over 300 pages
currently and will probably grow too about 500 before I stop [or die].
My line to old George 1 is as follows Geo 1 to John2 to William3, to David 4, to David 5, to Harriet 6 who married
Paul H. Hall in 1834, to Alfred J. Hall 7 to Edward L. Hall 8 to Wallace Legro Hall 9 to me, Stephen Peter Hall 10.
So I am a 10th generation descendant of old George1.
A Matthew STANLEY [no known relation to George1 ] was also living in Essex County in the late 1600s. Most of
the Matthew line was in the Topsfield, MA, area in the 1650s [another town in Essex Country] and then most, but
not all, of the 2nd generation moved to the Attleboro, MA, area. If I ever finish the
George STANDLEY book I have sources notes for the first 6 generations of Matthew's family.
Matthew and most of his descendants spelled the name without the "d." But I also found that after the 3rd or 4th
generation of George's family some dropped the "d" also, so it is unwise to use the spelling as any kind of guide as
Page 1 of 220
to which STANDLEY/STANLEY family someone might belong to.
George1 died about 1698. Not in Dec 1715. I have a photocopy of the will probate record that settled the estate and
named his wife Bethia as executrix dated 18 July 1698. Most of his children are also listed in the will. It was his son
George 2 husband of Jane STACY who died in Dec 1715. I found on the original Beverly record's, [not the printed
transcription of 1906] the application for tax relief due to the death of Jane's husband George2. Also, you will note,
the last child of this union in born in 1715, and on 21 Apr 1726 she marries John STONE as her 2nd husband.

Lovett.)

Page 311: September 25, 1679. Georg Stanly, aged about forty-four years, testified that about the time that Salem
new meeting house was built, "I being in company with Captain Lawthrop, Capt. More and Capt. Joseph Gardner at
Capt. Gardner's house I heard Capt. Gardner say to Capt. Lawthrop I think said he wee must haue your Bell for our
meeting hous is bigger than yours and your bell is bigger than ours. I think wee may doe well to change bells.
Captain Lawthrop Replyed hee knew no need of that our bell said hee is very well where it is. The bell was giuen to
mee for the place where it now is: Captain More answered him that allthough the bell weere giuen to you yet said
hee I dont knowbut I might haue kept thebell as well as you for I brought it home and I neuer gaue a bill of lading
for it neither was I euer paid for the freight of it. Captain Lawthrop answered Captain More that hee might haue kept
such and such things naming seueral things as well as the bell for I had no more bill of lading to show for them said
hee then for the Bell: Come Come said Captain Mor let us drink up our wine and say no more ot it. I suppose wee
shall neuer trouble you none for them. Sworn in court.

deeds.
BK C PG. 50: David Standley purchased land on 11-11-1728. This was the first "DAVID" appearance (yet
found) in NC land deeds. Since David, son of Jonathan b. 1705 would have been a child in 1728, this David may
be assumed to be a brother of Jonathan b. 1679.

Jonathan (and Elizabeth) in Perquimans County, NC by 1707 dealing in land transactions. This Jonathan was
known to have at least two children, Jonathan and George.
Jonathan 2[Geo1] STANDLEY: In checking the draft of my book I notice that I wrote in the margin, " no death
record on Jonathan or wife Elizabeth locally, must have moved, check further, ditto on son Jonathan."
Text of correspondence:
Jonathan2 [Geo1] STANDLEY, bpt. 18 Jan 1680, Beverly, MA, who m. Elizabeth FOSTER, at Boston, 25 Jan
1704, had only one son [as you noted] born in Beverly.
That son was Jonathan 3 [Jonathan2, Geo1]STANDLEY. I could find no further record of any of these three people
staying in New England after 1706. So I would say your theory has a great deal of merit.
It is also supported by the fact that a Jonathan and Elizabeth appear on a NC land deed in 1707 on which he
identified himself as a Mariner, and that Jonathan and Elizabeth (NC) are known to have at least two sons, Jonathan
and George. Further, the name of Sands Stanley appears on a Dobbs Co., NC land deed (1746-1750).
The fact that this Jonathan and wife Elizabeth STANDLEY would name sons with names matching those of
Jonathan2's other siblings [i.e. George and Sands] is very strong secondary evidence.
Sands or Sans is a very unusual name and I have never found anyone in my 20 years of researching familes in New
England, who had that name that did not descend from George1 and Bethia STANDLEY. It is very likely that
SANDS was the surname of on of George or Bethia's ancestors.
As I indicated I have been unable to find court, marriage, birth, or death records in the New England area for
Jonathan and Elizabeth or their son after 1706. I think you are on the correct track. I just don't know if you will
ever find any proof positive that this is a match.
Jonathan(2) baptised 18 January 1679/80, married Elizabeth Foster 25 January 1704 (McGlennen, Boston
Marriages) and had a son Jonathan born 16 July 1705. Jonathan(2) was listed as a mariner of Boston when his
father's estate was settled in 1706 and then there is no more trace of him in Massachusetts that I can find.
Samuel(2) was born 29 October 1686. He was alive in 1715 when he received a share of his father's estate, but I
have no marriage or other information.

whose records are also lost. Part of Dobbs became Wayne County, whose records are mostly complete from its
formation in 1779. The rest of Dobbs became Lenoir and Greene counties. Lenoir County’s records are also
destroyed. Grantee and grantor indexes survive for Johnston, Dobbs, and Lenoir though the deeds themselves are
lost.
"The oldest mill of record was probably built by Johathan Standley [father of David] around 1745-50 on Harris'

Branch, later called Mill Branch, one mile east of Snakebite. The dam can still be seen from the road. Around the
time of the Revolutionary War this mill was owned by David Standley, who was one of Bertie County's delegates to
the Assembly at Hillsboro in 1775."

Patent Book 3, Pg. 9: March 9, 1717 Thomas Bray patented 640 acres in Chowan Precinct joining John Watson,
Ralph Bosman, Robert Hicks, James Farlaw, CHARLES JORDAN and Isaac Williams.
One major significance of these land patents confirms proximity of Charles JORDAN, father of Dempsey Jordan
whose Taliaferro Co., GA Last Will & Testament proved the lineage of Shadrack Stanley (father of James Stanley
of Gwinnett County, GA). Charles was Shadrack's father-in-law -- giving further credence to Shadrack's familial
relationship to Jonathan Standley.

Josiah Nichols was born in 1752 in Bertie County, North Carolina. His parents were Nathaniel Nicholas and
Mary.
According to NC Wills: A Testator Index 1665-1900 by Mitchell, the will of Nathaniel Nicholas filed 1755 SS
880/159 is in the loose wills of the State Archives. We have not read it.
In 1759 the Bertie County Court Minutes #493-253 contain the following:
Page 15 of 220
" Mr. Jonathan Standly, guardian to William Nicholas and Josiah Nicholas, orphans of Nathaniel Nichols,
deceased, move the court for leave to sell 1 mare, 2 guns, 1 sword, a pair of pistols and hosters belonging to the
orphans. It was granted and also ordered that John Hill, William Gray and Thomas Whitnell, Esq. to divide the
estate of Nathaniel Nicholas decd."
The August Court 1774 of the Bertie County Court Record 1772-1780 proved a deed from Richard Willsford to
Josiah Nicholas in open court by the oath of James Early one of the subscribing witnesses and ordered to be
registered.
Josiah Nichols is listed in the DAR Patriot Index. It states that Josiah was a soldier in a NC company during the
Revolution. It also says he married first Mary and second Nancy. In the Caldwell County Kentucky history room
there is a Nichols Family File. It states that Josiah Nichols wed Nancy, maybe Reddick in Wake County, NC. We
have found no confirmation of Mary, but Nancy Reddick is found a number of times. Plus the Reddick name
continues through the line.
Item 2:
The Colonial Bertie County book mentioned above states that on Feb 28, 1750 Nathaniel Nichless paid 53
Pounds for 300 acres on south side of Ahoskey Swamp at Turkey Swamp adjacent to Thomas Hudson and
George Standly. It was sold by Johnathan Standly Sr. of Johnston County with the quote "being the plantation
where I lately lived..." It was witnessed by George Standly and William Lewis.
The Colonial Bertie County Deed Abstracts A-H 1720-1757 state that Mary Nicholas witnessed a deed with
Jonathan Standly on 4/28/1756 on a sale of 175 acres from Thomas & Elizabeth Roades to David Standly.
But then in 1759 the Bertie County Court Minutes #493-253 contain the following:
" Mr. Jonathan Standly, guardian to William Nicholas and Josiah Nichols, orphans of Nathaniel Nichols,
deceased, move the court for leave to sell 1 mare, 2 guns, 1 sword, a pair of pistols and hosters belonging to the
orphans. It was granted and also ordered that John Hill, William Gray and Thomas Whitnell, Esq. to divide the
estate of Nathaniel Nicholas decd."
14. WILLIAM3 STANLEY (JONATHAN2 STANDLEY, GEORGE1) was born Abt. 1710.
The term "Quit rent" is one that was used in Colonial America to refer to a personal property tax, which was
assessed by the Crown. The local Sheriff collected it, and it was sent to the Governor for distribution and
administration. It was paid in cash or tobacco. It was one of the "Taxation Without Representation" issues leading to
the Revolution, after which it was abolished.
Willim Stanley, 372, rect. Apr 14th 1744 for 560 acres, 6 yrs, 4:9:5

15. JOHN3 STANLEY (JONATHAN2 STANDLEY, GEORGE1) was born Abt. 1715.

family.
Jonathan Standley's siblings had children an average of every two years--as is typical all over New
England at that time--until the wife was in her early forties. Between 1705 when Jonathan Jr.
was born and 1717 when we know Elizabeth was alive (and aged about 37) we would expect there to
be six children, perhaps more if she lived longer. We know that George moved on, It is reasonable expect the others
did as well.
The deed record from 1754-1755 that pass land from Jonathan to Benjamin, Martha, Mary, Isaac and Joshua looks
like giving land to children. Jonathan Sr. seems to have "retired" and sold his Bertie County plantation in 1750.
Thorough examination of all Indexed Deed records in Old Dobbs, Lenoir, Johnston, Green and Wayne counties
allowed determining when each named person appeared in the records. Matching those years with independent
research by descendants of Moses Stanley (b. before 1736), and specifically a Deed dated January 1784 showing
William passed property to Moses, allowed assignment of that Moses as a son of William Stanley.
Assignment of John Stanley as a Parent was based on (1) his rare appearances in the deed records; (2) Little further
information about this John; (3) Deed in 1754-55 from Jonathan to these named persons; and (4) As they would
have been born in the 1730s, it is logical they are grandchildren of Jonathan Stanley Sr. and Elizabeth Foster.
Archived Records, Transcribed from the Grantor Index and checked against the Grantee Index by Martha Mewborn
Marble, 1377 Independence Ave., S. E., Washington, D. C.
In 1758, Dobbs County was formed from the eastern portion of Johnston County. (Old) Dobbs included today's
Wayne, Greene, Lenoir and small portions of several other counties. This area of North Carolina provides early
records for the families known to be related to Jonathan Standley Sr. through DNA testing.

NICHOLS also signed the will.)
Deposition by GEORGE STANLEY (STANDLY) and his wife ANNE STANLEY (Sept. 22, 1755)

NICHOLAS - one Negro Amey. Son WILLIAM - a gun, case of pistols, etc. Wife MARY - a
Negro Toney for her lifetime. Son JOSIAH - gun.

One GEORGE served in the 5th Regiment during the Revolutionary War, and
transferred to the 1st Regiment in February, 1780. He is listed on the roll
of the lst Regiment, Continental Line, as a Private. Beside his name in the
notation "5th Regiment." He was on the roster at Ft. Sullivan, SC, from
1776-1780 (Ft. Moultrie). On August 27, 1775, there was a Sgt. GEORGE
STANDLY in Col. Thomson's Regiment of Rangers from South Carolina. His age
was given as 38. He was in a 700-man army at the tip of Sullivan Island near
Charleston.
(Our GEORGE should have been closer to age 55 if he was indeed born in
1720.)
A Land Bounty Warrant was issued in Wilkes County, Georgia on March 1, 1784,
to GEORGE STANDLEY. The Warrant was executed July 16, 1784, for 100 acres
bounded on the west by Fishing Creek (Warrant #890). Apparently, GEORGE died
about the spring of 1784, and the Grant was issued to his wife, ADER, and
dated October 13, 1785. A letter of Administration on probate of the GEORGE
STANDLEY estate was granted to ADER May 28, 1784 in Wilkes County. Inventory
was taken and presented in court July 27, 1784, and recorded in October.
Page 19 of 220
Children of GEORGE STANLEY and ADER are:
26. i. LEWIS ISHAM4 STANLEY, b. Abt. 1750, Probably Bertie Co., NC; d. 1815, Spartanburg, South Carolina.
27. ii. EZEKIEL STANDLEY, b. Abt. 1755, Probably Bertie Co., NC; d. 1835, Covington, Newton Co., GA.
17. SANDS3 STANLEY (JONATHAN2 STANDLEY, GEORGE1) was born Bef. 1725. He
married UNKNOWN Abt. 1740 in Probably Dobbs Co., North Carolina.
Notes for SANDS STANLEY:
ACTUAL IDENTITY AND PARENTAGE OF THIS SANDS STANDLEY IS NOT PROVEN!
The ancestry of George Stanley (d. 1784 in Wilkes Co., GA) and Sands (d. 1796 in Cheraws Dist. SC) leads to their
residence in North Carolina in the early to mid-1700s. The ancestry of George Stan(d)ley, a son of Jonathan
Standley, has revealed a connection to the Essex County, MA Standley family which included men named
Jonathan, George, David and Sands. The name 'Sands' has not been found in any other Stanley lineage. The MA,
NC, SC, GA lineages are most probably the same family.
1. His age shown by presence in NC deed records (1746-1750) places him in this family.
2. This Sands may be a son of Jonathan, son of George & Bethia Standley. Jonathan Sr. had sons Jonathan Jr. born
1705 and George born abt. 1720.
3. This Sands was not a son of Sands (1676-1702) and Abigail HASCHAL Standley, but no proof has been found.
There is record of only one child of this union, Sands b. 1702 and married Mary Charder in 1724. This family
remained in Marblehead, MA with no "missing" or errant family members.
4. This Sands was not a son of David or Samuel Stanley, sons of George and Bethia Stanley. According to Essex
Co., MA deed and probate records both David (2) and Samuel (2) were dead by 1715 and probably earlier.
5. There is an unconfirmed family of Captain George Stanley and his son, Samuel Sands Stanley, of Maine. A
possible lineage is George and Bethia Stanley, (2) son George and Jane Stacy, (3) son George and Abigail Morgan,
who had a son George born May 27, 1722. That son could have been Samuel Sands Stanley. No evidence exists to
support this theory.
From Elaine Campbell: I have come across some notes that came from Dr. W. Stanley Hoole of the University of
Alabama (this was1978). He gives Thomas Stanley and wife from England settled in New Kent Co. Va. in 1600.
They had three children James born 1688, Thomas 1689, John 1691. He said our family was from John Sands
Stanley who settled in NC and Sands II who settled in SC. The reason I'm sending this is I wondered if the Sands,
father of Sands (wife Zipha) could be this John Sands that he told me we were desended from.
(Larry S. Note) Actual letter from W. Stanley Hoole to Elaine Campbell included a family chart placing Sands (b.
1742) in the lineage of John Stanley (b. 11-11-1691 and documented in Quaker records) with a question mark. His
chart is not clear about how Sands fit into the lineage of John Stanley. W. S. Hoole did state he was convinved that
Sands (b. 1742) was a son of the elder Sands Stanley (b. abt 1725), which is highly plausible.

The Roster of the Patriots in the Battle of Moores Creek Bridge, 1776, lists (probably) the sons of the elder Sands
Standley:
Shadrack Stanley, of Dobbs County, served as a sergeant under Captain Benjamin Sheppard and Colonel Abraham
Sheppard. Since his officers participated in the Battle of Moores Creek Bridge, Stanley was possibly in the

encounter. (Journal "A", 109)

http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncbertie/court.htm#justice:
Justices of the Peace presided over this court. These Justices were usually men owning property and leaders of the
community. They were appointed by the Governor who took the advice of the legislators. Any 3 justices made up a
quorum to conduct business.
In 1760 these included: John Campbell, John Dawson, Cullen Pollock, Edward Rasor, Lillington Lockhard,
Humphry Nichols, David Standley and William Gray.
The Court Records are usually not indexed, but provide genealogical gems for the persistent researcher! This court
was abolished in 1868 with the reorganization of counties after the Civil War.
August 25, 1774, delegates were sent from the Counties (two from Bertie) to the North Carolina Provincial Congress
Page 24 of 220
in New Bern to discuss matters and select delegates to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. Safety Committees
in towns and counties were also proposed, as England and Colonial matters worsened.After this 1st Provincial
Congress, 4 others were held in preparation for the War.

pregancy of a woman or birth of a child was brought to the attention of the Court, a warrant was issued and the
woman brought into court. She was examined (questioned) under oath and asked to declare the name of the
child's father. The reputed father was then served a warrant and required to post bond. If the woman refused to
name the father, she, her father, or some other interested party would post the bond. In some cases it was found
that the mother and reputed father posted the bond. If the woman refused to post bond or declare the father, she
was often sent to jail.

26. LEWIS ISHAM4 STANLEY (GEORGE3, JONATHAN2 STANDLEY, GEORGE1) was born Abt. 1750 in Probably Bertie
Co., NC, and died 1815 in Spartanburg, South Carolina. He married ADAH MARTIN Unknown in South Carolina.
She was born Unknown, and died Unknown.
Page 29 of 220
LEWIS was born about 1750, probably in Bertie County, NC. He married ADAH,
believed by some to have been ADAH MARTIN, daughter of JAMES, of Tryon, NC.
She was born about 1750 in Anson County, NC.
In 1772, the Buffalo Baptist Church was organized near Grover, NC. LEWIS was
a charter member, and remained on the membership rolls there until he moved
to Pendleton District, SC, in 1807. His farm was located on Cherokee Creek
in Spartanburg District. JAMES MARTIN also lived in this area. The church
roll also listed a RHODA MARTIN, deceased January 26, 1808. This may have
been the wife of JAMES and the mother of ADAH.
One Stanley family tradition is that LEWIS served under GEORGE WASHINGTON in
the Revolutionary War. At one time during the war, the King's men raided his
home and took all the bed linens, even taking the pallet his small daughter,
ANNIE, was lying on very ill. LEWIS him-self was at home on leave at the
time, having contacted smallpox. His wife kept him hidden out in the woods
with only a cowhide for protection. If this story is true, LEWIS and his
father GEORGE were in the Revolution at the same time. Revolutionary War
Records list LEWIS as a private in the Regular Light Dragoons, Continental
Troops.
In 1777, LEWIS was a witness to the will of a WILLIAM WALKER. WILLIAM had
purchased the farm of GEORGE and ADER STANLEY in 1775, on Fishing Creek.
"JAMES MARTIN to EZEKIEL STANDLEY, Spartanburgh, for $50 sold 139 ac. on
Cherokee Cr.; border: EZEKIEL STANDLEY, LEWIS STANLEY and RICHARD ARNOLD.
Witness LEWIS STANLEY and RHODA STANLEY...." (RHODA was EZEKIEL'S wife, and
Page 30 of 220
LEWIS also had a daughter named RHODA. EZEKIEL'S will, dated July 17, 1805,
mentioned his wife RHODA. It was witnessed by LEWIS and GEORGE STANLEY and
DANIEL McCOY, and filed August 3, 1805.)
LEWIS and ADAH moved to Pendleton County, SC in 1807, after selling their
land in Spartanburg:
"Dec. 22, 1807: LEWIS STANLEY and wife ADAH (Spartanburgh) to Major Hancock
for $300 sold 230 ac. on waters of Cherokee Creek on W. side of Broad Road.,
border: EZEKIEL STANLEY desc....Signed LEWIS STANLEY and ADAH'S mark."

August 29, 1814: "Deed of Gift. LEWIS STANLEY SR., to sons DAVID and JOHN
STANLEY, 250 acres where I now live, adjoining JAMES MORRIS, MATTHEW CLARK,
LEWIS STANLEY JR., & RICHARD ASKINS. To wife ADAH STANLEY, household
furnishings and cattle. Recorded Dec. 19, 1814."
No probate records or death record can be found.
>From other records, we learned that LEWIS and ADAH had at least the
following children: (Also may have had a son named EZEKIEL; LEWIS is
believed to have had a brother named EZEKIEL, too.)
BENJAMIN and NANCY are buried in the Stanley Cemetery near Sterling in
Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. ELIZABETH and JOHN were married at the
residence of LEWIS STANLEY JR., on December 26, 1859, by R. Dodson,
minister.
LEWIS and ADAH'S son, JOSHUA DAVID, is our next direct ancestor.
Page 31 of 220
JOSHUA DAVID STANLEY, 1 male under 10, 1 male 18-26, 1 male 26-45, 2 females
under 10, 1 female 16-26. (Who the male 18-26 was is unknown.)
DELILAH died in 1823, when FELIX was four days old.He was raised by the
FRANCIS MARTIN ARNOLD family in Bedford County, TN. The Arnold family lived
near LEWIS STANLEY in South Carolina in 1808. It is said that FELIX later
went to Arkansas and no further records have been found of him.
After DELILAH died, DAVID moved to Alabama and settled there. On February
15, 1827, he married FATIMA THOMAS in Tuscaloosa County. She was born in
1806, the daughter of JOSHUA THOMAS and REBECCA WHEELER. DAVID'S brother,
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, married FATIMA'S sister, NANCY, and they also lived in
Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. It is not known which family settled there
first.
Family history says the Stanleys lived on a cotton plantation and owned
slaves.
By 1860, they appear in Walker County, Alabama, on the census as:
DAVID STANLEY, 57 (should be 67)
FERTIMY, 54
ELVIRA ANN, 21
WM. H., 17
MARY A., 15
SAMUEL THOMPSON, 12
Page 32 of 220
By 1870, JOSHUA DAVID and FATIMA were in Itawamba County, Mississippi. He
was 77; she was 62, and her sister, MARTHA WEATHINGTON, 68, was with them.
Sometime before 1880, regardless of his advanced age, JOSHUA DAVID and
FATIMA moved to Texas with their son WILLIAM, where JOSHUA DAVID died in
1881. FATIMA'S death date is not inscribed on her headstone, but both are
buried in the Morrow Cemetery, southeast of Cleburne, in Johnson County,
Texas. Their son, WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON STANLEY, is the next of our direct
ancestors in this line. WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON STANLEY
"WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON STANLEY was born August 24, 1842, died January 31,
1927. He served the full four years in the Civil War in the southern
cavalry under General Forest.

90. Her body was shipped back to Johnson County for burial beside her
husband in Caddo Cemetery, west of Joshua. Obituaries from local papers
follow:
"Friday, April 1, 1927. W.H. STANLEY dies at old home Thursday. W.H.
STANLEY, age 85 years died Thursday morning at 4 o'clock at his home ten
miles north of Cleburne on the old Fort Worth Road. While very advanced in
age Mr. Stanley had been enjoying his usual health and the day before his
death when he complained of not feeling well and the next morning he expired
at the home stated. Funeral services probably will be held at the family
residence for Mr. Stanley and the remains will be interred at Old Caddo Friday afternoon, the
exact hour of services not having yet been determined owing to the expected
arrival of members of the family."
"Friday, May 22, 1952. Mrs. LEZZIE STANLEY, 90, died Thursday in Lubbock,
Texas. Survivors are four sons, EARL and ERVIN STANLEY of Joshua, VERNON
STANLEY of Fort Worth, and CARLETON STANLEY of Lubbock, and one daughter,
Mrs. G.K. HORTON of Hereford. Funeral services were held at 2:00 p.m. today from
the Joshua Baptist Church with Rev. C.N. GILBERT officiating. Burial was in
the Caddo cemetery under the direction of Crosier-Pearson Funeral Home.
Pallbearers were J.B._____, MARK DEASON, W.A. KELLY, EVERT RAY, JIM SIMS and
T.F. PARKER."
ERVIN STANLEY
ERVIN was born November 16, 1888, in Johnson County, Texas. He married
NELLIE LEE BRAWNER on August 1, 1914. The couple lived on a farm west of
Joshua, and had four children, JESS WILLARD, ARTIE LOUISE, NELL, and ANDY.
When his brother, VERNON, and VERNON'S wife HATTIE, were murdered, ERVIN
made many trips to Fort Worth to prod the investigation on its way. He even
attempted to do some investigating himself, asking questions of people who
knew the couple, trying to find out some bit of information that might help
Page 34 of 220
solve the case. The brutal murders weighed heavily on his mind for many
years, but unfortunately, the case was never solved.
NELLIE died on February 8, 1980, of a stroke. ERVIN said on the day of his
wife's death that he would not live another six months without her. He died
one month later than his prediction, on September 28, 1980. Both are buried
at Caddo cemetery west of Joshua, Texas.

28. SANDS4 STANLEY (SANDS3, JONATHAN2 STANDLEY, GEORGE1) was born Abt. 1742 in North Carolina, and
died November 19, 1799 in Darlington County, South Carolina. He married ZILPHA EDWARDS Abt. 1759 in
North Carolina. She was born Abt. 1740 in Jones County, North Carolina, and died March 31, 1808 in Darlington
County, South Carolina.
SANDS STANDLEY -- Born before 1742. About 1759 he married Zilpha Edwards. We believe Zilpha was born
about the same time in the general vicinity of Jones County in eastern North Carolina. Sands died Nov. 19, 1799;
Zilpha died Mar. 31, 1808.
The name Zilpha occurs four times in Sands' will in 1796. In DAR application National #486112, it is spelled
Zilphah. Sands' son, Thomas, in his will in 1813, spelled it Zilpha. Most historians seem to favor Zilpha. The name
Sands is occasionally spelled Sans, as in one of the records quoted in this book. The name Standley occurs in many
early Darlington County records. About 1812 they began to drop the "d" and it soon became only Stanley. It was
found both ways for about two generations.
In 1930, Sarah Amanda Stanley, a fourth generation of our Sands Stanley, told her nephew, James S. Stanley that
"two brothers, Sands and Sims Stanley, came from Scotch-Irish and settled on the coast of North Carolina, near the
Virginia line." An inquiry to authorities at Windsor, County seat of Bertie County, NC, on the coast 20 miles from
the Virginia border failed to produce any definite information.
Records show that Zilpha Edwards had sisters: Winnifred Edwards; Nancy Shephard, Pitt Cty., NC; Molly Hill,
Lenoir- Cty.,NC; Elizabeth, m Blaney Harper, Greene Cty,NC; Polly, m William Murphy, Washington, NC; and
Sally, m John Heath, Washington, NC. Also brothers: William, Cullen, Henry, Theophilus and Thomas Edwards; in
that area.
Public records of Dobbs (now Craven) County, NC were destroyed by fire. However, we know Sands Stanley was in
Dobbs Cty., 1769-1783, before moving to Darlington, SC.
Many Stanleys of Virginia and North Carolina were of the Friends Faith (Quakers). Many records of Quakers are
available, but an extended search of these records failed to associate Sands or Sims Stanley with the Virginia or
North Carolina Quakers.

GEORGE1) was born Abt. 1750 in Dobbs County, North Carolina, and died
Aft. 1830 in Marengo Co., Alabama. He married (1) PENINNAH JORDAN
Abt. 1780 in Wilkes County, Georgia, daughter of CHARLES JORDAN and MARTHA. She was born Abt.
1760 in Perquimans area, North Carolina, and died Abt. 1820 in Gwinnett County, Georgia. He married (2)
'UNKNOWN' MOON Aft. 1820 in Alabama. She died in Possibly Marengo Co., AL.
Dates and ages for four Shadrack Stanleys were determined by census and other records. The known men of the
name were (1) a brother of Sands Stanley Sr. from Cheraws Dist., SC.; (2) the son of Sands Stanley from Cheraws
Dist., SC. This man was in Tattnall Co., GA and later in Alachua Co., FL; (3) the son of John Stanley from
Virginia/North Carolina Quaker records; and (4) a son of John and Jerusha Fitch Stanley who resided in Wilkes
County, NC.
Research by Larry Stanley and others indicates the first of these men is the most likely man to be father of Penainy
Jordan's children. It is probable that he was a brother of Sands Stanley. Sr. of Cheraws Dist., SC. It is also probable
he was a son of a Sands Stanley who had NC land transactions in 1746-1750.
The ancestry of George Stanley (d. 1783 in Wilkes Co., GA) and Sands (d. 1796 in Cheraws Dist. SC) leads to the
residence in North Carolina in the early to mid-1700s. The ancestry of George Stan(d)ley, a son of Jonathan
Standley, has revealed a connection to the Essex County, MA Standley family which included men named
Jonathan, George, David and Sands. The name 'Sands' has not been found in any other Stanley lineage. The MA,
NC, SC, GA lineages are most probably the same family.
February 2001, Research request to the North Carolina Division of Archives and History, Raleigh:
We have searched Treasurers and Comptrollers Papers, Revolutionary Army Accounts, Revolutionary Pay Vouchers
and the Colonial Records of North Carolina___ without finding Shadrack Stanley.
During the late 1700s, particularly after 1780, the name Shadrack Stanley appeared in Georgia. Later records
showed they both hailed from old Dobbs County, North Carolina. The uncle Shadrack was in Georgia by 1782 for
the birth of his first son, Jordan Stanley. The nephew Shadrack was in Darlington, South Carolina from about 1783
when his parents (Sands and Zilpha) moved there. He was in South Carolina for the 1790 census, but that does not
mean he would be absent from Georgia records.
Because they both resided in old Washington County, Georgia it is difficult to determine correct assignment for the
various historical records. However, one man remained in the northeast part of the state in Wilkes, Lincoln and
Jackson counties. The other resided in Washington, Tattnall, Montgomery and Liberty counties to the southeast.
There is no known evidence to place the uncle Shadrack in the southern part of Georgia or otherwise geographically
close to the nephew. Some of the included North Carolina and Georgia references could apply to either man. An
attempt was made here to assign records according to the location, north or south, in old Washington County.

Inspection of early maps of Washington County reveal the location of Buffalo Creek, Williams Swamp Creek and
Sandy Run. The area described, bound on the east by the Little Ogeechee River, is found at the southeast of today's
Hancock County to the south and east of Sparta, and the northeast of today's Washington County. Of further interest
is that the South Fork of the Little Ogeechee is also found within this description.
The description for the Third District Militia indicates the area to the north of the Fifth Company Militia District.
And it states the "Green County Line wherein the saide line crosses Buffelow" north of Sandy Run. This is a clear
indication that in 1793 Greene County included the part of today's Hancock County where Sparta is located.
The book "Land Deed Genealogy of Hancock County, Georgia" has two entries naming Shadrack Stanley, and
apparently indicating two separate pieces of property:
8th September 1794. Shadrack Stanley of Washington county to Miles Rachael (Rachell) of Hancock County for the
sum of forty pounds money for a tract of land in said County, late Washington County now Hancock, containing one
hundred fifty acres, said land granted to Shadrack Stanley on 30th December 1788. Land excepting three or four
acres cut off by Ruthaf(illegible) line. Wit: Peter Boyle, J. P. and Jno. S(illegible).
Page 43 of 220
3rd January 1799. William Cureton of Hancock County to Nehemiah Smith of same place for the sum of one
thousand dollars for a tract of land containing two hundred acres in Hancock County formerly Washington County,
on Little Ogeechee and adjoining vacant land at the time of the survey, adjoining Shadrack Stanley's land and by
McClendon's and the Little Ogeechee , granted to Shadrack Standley on 19th April 1790. Wit: H. Chandler and
Barrett Brewer. Reg.: 24th April 1800.
As to where Shadrack Stanley lived and when, it is necessary to link the residence of Dempsey Jordan to the
birthplace of Jordan Stanley, James Stanley, et al. Shadrack Stanley showed up in the same area as Dempsey Jordan
in Greene and Talliafero counties in old Defacto Wilkes County; and Charles Jr. in Lincoln, Jackson and Gwinnett
counties. The earlier locations for Charles Jordan Sr. were St. Paul Parish, Wilkes and Warren County.
Washington/Wilkes/Warren is a close area and includes the location where Charles Jordan Sr. was killed in 1780.
Shadrack's land on the Little Ogeechee places all of them in near proximity. It is important to note that Hancock
County was formed 12/17/1793 from Greene and Washington; and, Warren County was formed 12/19/1793 from
Columbia, Hancock, Richmond and Warren.

" Remembering that until 1823 Maine was still part of Mass,and most of the
original settlers of maine first started out in what is still Mass. They have
roots in what is still Mass.Some of the siblings stayed in Mass. Some went
north into what is now Maine. Some went south and west to other states. Prior
to New York becoming the primary point of entry for immigrants Mass.was a
major entry point. My father in law's family (Wells) for instance started out
in Mass. Then his branch headed south and settled in Georgia. By the Civil War
they had become true southerners and fought on the southern side. They still
have distant relatives and common ancestors in Mass, and Maine."

43. ELIZABETH5 STANLEY (LEWIS ISHAM4, GEORGE3, JONATHAN2 STANDLEY, GEORGE1) was born Unknown, and
died Unknown. She married DANIEL MCCAY in Spartanburg, SC. He was born December 1756 in Scotland, and
died Abt. 1816 in prob Pendleton Co., SC.
According to the publication, The Martin Stanley Mc Cay and Martha Collins Mc Cay Family Genealogy by ?,
Daniel Mc Cay was the son of Thomas Mc Cay and a grandson of William Mc Cay or William Thomas Mc Cay of
Scotland.
According to family tradition he was born in mid-December of 1756 in Scotland. He had red hair, was 6 feet, 9
inches tall, and had a light complexion. A Daniel Mc Cay arrived in New York in 1773 and family tradition says he
did arrive in New York with ten gold guineas (about $25.00) in his pocket.
According to this book, Daniel was 16 years of age and wanted to go to America and his mother finally agreed to let
him go with his Uncle Peter Mc Cay, her husband's brother or uncle. Other stories have circulated that he wanted to
come to America to see where his father, Thomas, was buried.
Keep in mind that Ruth Margaret (Cook) McDaniel has said that her Mc Cay ancestor came over during the RW and
then returned because he liked America. This would be a compressed view of the same story and lends credence to
the fact that some ancestor had come from Scotland about the time of the RW.
At any rate, Daniel did serve in the RW and his military record was in "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the
RW". He joined the American Army (not fighting as a British soldier as Mom-Ruth McDaniel- thought) on 19 April
1775 at Lexington and Concord under Major Bradish in Col. Finny's Regiment from the province of Maine.
During the winter of 1777-1778, Daniel served under General George Washington at Valley Forge. Beginning in
January 1780, Daniel was Sergeant-Major under Captain Sylvanus Smith and Colonel Timothy Bigelow. In 1781 he
apparently was a sergeant under Captain Smith and Colonel Rufus Putnam at West Point. He had been transferred
from the Massachusetts 15th Regiment to the 5th with Smith. As of January 10, 1781, Daniel was 24 years and one
month old. His record continued until February 1782 when he was at Garrison West Point.
Daniel had been wounded in hip in 1778 when he was on a gunboat on Lake Champlain and a gun burst. That
wound was sewed up and then he was wounded again at Saratoga with injuries to his left breast and right knee.
After the war, Daniel migrated to Spartenburg County, SC and then to Pendleton County where he filed for a RW
pension on 25 October 1814. He stated in his application that he was formerly of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, the part that became Maine. He needed financial assistance to support himself and a nearly blind
wife and four small children. He was finally granted two-thirds of an Ensign's pension but it is believed he died
shortly after completing the application in 1816.

44. SHADRACK5 STANLEY (SANDS4, SANDS3, JONATHAN2 STANDLEY, GEORGE1) was born Abt. 1761 in North
Carolina, and died Bef. 1830 in Florida. He married (1) N ANCY HALL. He married (2) REBECCA GRUBBS April
08, 1816 in Tattnall Co., GA.
Here is what I have in computer so far. I'm still weeding through. I still have to organize this data better. Some
things are in twice. I have not taken anything from your site as yet. The three of us working on this, Tenny, Russ
Henderson, and me are not certain that the Shadrack (son of Sands) is the one who came to Fl. Things point to it
being his son Shadrack and other things point to it being him (as the 1830 census). We know that Shadrack was in
the Patriot War for sure. The Shadrack born abt. 1761 would have been rather old for this and if indeed he did marry
Rebecca Grubbs, one Shadrack was in Fl. at that time. Thanks for you help, Elaine
Shadrack Standley, having moved to Darlington, S.C. before Aug. 12, 1783, was issued the following land grants.
Total grants 540 acres.
(1) Sep. 20, 1784...200 acres on Swift Creek. Bk. No. 1, page 96..Surveyed Oct. 28, & recorded Nov. 22, 1784.
(2) Jan. 25, 1787...230 acres on Indian Branch, Bk. No. 2, page 13, Surveyed Feb. 21, & recorded May 21, 1787
(3) Oct. 2, 1794...110 acres on east side of Indian Creek, Surveyed Oct. 3, 1794, recorded___?
Shadrack Standley, oldest son of Sands Standley, served under General Francis Marion (the swamp fox) in 1782
as a private for 30 days and claimed compensation for this service on Aug. 12, 1783. He would have been about 21
years of age at that time. (Sands Standley of the Pee Dee Valley, Haywood Standley) Also taken from original Rev.
Audited Account of Shadrack Standley from the SC Archives.. order#7384..AA 7302. The 1790 Census S.C.
showed that he had at that time 6 boys and two girls. (Haywood Stanley)
Shadrack is not listed in the 1800 SC Census.
After the close of the Rev. War, settlers began locating in Tattnall Co. territory, and especially along the
Altamaha and Ohoopee Rivers. Most of all the early settlers were from S.C. The county government was said to
have been carried on in the house of Zachariah Cox until 1807 when a courthouse was built on the west side of the
Ohoopee River about 300 yds. from Sheppard's bridge. One of the builders of this first Tattnall Co. Courthouse is
said to have been Shadrack Standley.
In the last decade of the eighteenth century, during their war against France, Britain and her ally Spain, preyed
upon US shipping -- impressing seamen, capturing ships and confiscating cargo. The United States levied a claim
against Spain for part of the damages suffered. If Spain were to cede the Spanish Territories of East and West
Florida, this claim would be considered paid. If Spain did not cede the territories, and the United States were to
somehow acquire the Floridas, the claim would not then be pursued.
In 1803, the United States purchased Louisiana from France. Not clearly defined was where the eastern boundary
of Louisiana ended and where the western boundary of Florida began. The Spanish presence in the Floridas was
limited to Mobile, Pensacola, St. Augustine and Fernandina. The remainder of the territory was home to roaming
bands of Indians and land-hungry citizens of the southern U.S.
Without the approval of Congress, U. S. President James Madison and his Secretary of State James Monroe
schemed to acquire West Florida by disputing where the eastern boundary of Louisiana was and annexing East
Florida by settling the area and having the residents ask to become part of the United States. As an early result of
this scheme hatched in early 1811, on 12 March 1812, a group of armed Georgians crossed the St. Marys River in
East Florida and marched on Fernandina. The expectation was that Fernandina would be overrun, the United States
would provide immediate support and the Georgian "Patriots" reinforced by federal troops would capture St.
Augustine and thus be the revolutionary government of Florida. Other than federal gunships standing by off Amelia
Page 55 of 220
Island, no U.S. aid was forthcoming. Although months later, a contingent of US troops entered Florida to provide
order, acceptance of the Patriots' declaration of independence from Spain and request for annexation by the United
States was accepted by Congress.
On June 18th 1812 war with Great Britain was declared. Rumors of occupation of Florida by British troops
offered another opportunity to invade and annex. Congress, dominated by the northern states, chose to attempt to
acquire Canada instead. In January 1814, with Florida still a Spanish possession, Georgians came deep into the
territory. On a prairie near King Payne's town a fort was built and The District of Elotchaway of the Republic of
East Florida was established. A message signed by the residents was sent to President Madison requesting that
Elotchaway be accepted as a territory of the Union. This offer was not accepted.
On 24 December 1815, a peace treaty was signed with Britain. With ratification on 16 February 1816, the war
was officially over. No longer was protecting Florida from foreign occupation a rationale for U.S. invasion. In
1817, Indian depredations provided excuse for Andrew Jackson to invade Florida. While occupying part of Florida,
1819 negotiations with Spain resulted in purchase for five million dollars of outstanding debt. Florida became a U.S.
territory in 1821.
Shadrack Standley is recorded several times during this period: as a land owner along the St. Mary's River 1800-
1821, as a defender of Fernandina, selling property in Tattnall County, Georgia in 1813, as a soldier on the
Altamaha River in Georgia in 1814, and as a 1814 signer at Ft. Mitchell in Elotchoway.
On 30 October 1813 in Tattnall County, Georgia, Shadrack Standley, Sr. of Tattnall County to Shadrack Standley,
Jr. of Tattnall County for one dollar sold 150 acres of land in Tattnall County bounded by Brunson's line, Big
Watermelon Creek, Little Watermelon Creek and Shadrack Standley, Sr. Signed: Shadrick [sic] Standley.
Witnesses: Burell G. Whittington and Stephen Matlock. Recorded 11 November 1911.
Shadrack's son Shadrack came to Fl. with the group of 101 men at Ft. Mitchell (note it is not known for sure at
this time if it was Shadrack or his son Shadrack (EC) on the lake at Gainesville, Fl. The men were suppose to be
given 500 acres of land and supplies for a year. Shadrack was a surveyer. After three months the Indians killed their
leader Harris. Spain objected and the men had to leave. The men went back to Ft. St. Mary's Ga. (McLelland) This
was part of the Patriot War.
"The Republic of East Florida was established in 1811 in the vicinity of Fernandina, despite tacit disapproval by
the Spanish, and a constitution was adopted on July 17, 1812. ... " (Roberts)
On Jan. 16, 1814 the Patriots stopped at Payne's old town in Alachua and two days later began the construction
of a fort which they named in honor of former Gov. Mitchell. (McLelland) It stood app. 100 miles south by
southwest of Coleraine, Ga. Within seven miles of Fort Mitchell lay a large lake. The block house at Ft. Mitchell
was built on a prairie which was seven or eight miles wide and twenty long. (Patrick)
After the Patriots had established themselves on the former Indian land, they assembled on Jan. 25, 1814, as a
legislative body. Buckner Harris was confirmed as "Director", Francis R. Sanchez became president of the
legislative council and James Dell was the "Colonel Commandant" of the military force. The assembled Patriots
declared their community a continuation of the 1812 Rev. force and entitled their country "The District of
Eloctchaway of the Republic of East Florida". (Patrick)
" ... On January 25, 1814, the Republic of East Florida was ceded to the United States at a convention held at Fort
Mitchell, situated on Lake Bryant, Marion County, about 18 miles east of Ocala. The fort, named for Governor
David B. Mitchell of Georgia, was a two-story blockhouse erected in January 1814 by Georgia militia Colonel
Buckner Harris with 150 settlers to protect an American settlement in defiance of Spanish officialdom. ..." (Roberts)
Lake Bryant is in the Ocala National Forest 16 miles ESE of modern-day Ocala and is crossed at the nornern end by
SR40.
"The settlement collapsed after Harris was killed by Indians and the settlers returned to Georgia. The fort was
burned shortly afterward by possibly the same Indians." (Roberts)
In the War of 1812, Shadrack Stanley was a private in Captain John R. Blackmon's Company, Tenth Battalion
(Tattnall County), Second Brigade (General Samuel Byrne's), First Division, Georgia Militia. The last of his
enlistments was for one month and twenty-two days from January tenth to March tenth, 1814, under command of
Lieutenant Edmond Page Wester at stationed at Fort James on Milligan's Bluff Pain's Landing , on the Altamaha
river , two miles above the mouth of Beard's Creek , for the protection of the frontier against Indian attack, the
"frontier" being the Altamaha River. As a private, Shadrack's pay was 8 dollars per month.
In 1815 Shadrack was given 300 acres on the St. Mary's River in Fl by the King of Spain. When the English took
over they tried to take Shadrack's land. He went to court and won his 300 acres, waste land and they had to give him
the 500 acres promised him at Ft. Mitchell. (McLelland) East Fl. was attractive to Americans. Opportunist crossed
the St. Mary's River boundary at will. Due to its proximity to Ga. and the Carolinas, the impact of settlers was felt
initially in the area between the St. Mary's and St. Johns Rivers.
Page 56 of 220
Shadrack Standley moved to the Territory of East Florida settling near the St. Mary's River. Governor Coppinger
ordered G. J. F. Clarke to distribute lands to all who contributed to the defense of Fernandina in 1817. Shadrack
Standley claimed title to 300 acres of land on the St. Mary's River bounded to the north by the river, to the east by
Charles Love, and to the south and west by vacant lands. Survey made by George Clarke 10 December 1817 in
conformity of the royal order of 29 March 1815. Shadrack Standley claimed to be in actually possession of the land
and was at the time of the cession and that he was a citizen of the United States and a resident of East Florida. This
Spanish grant was later confirmed by the board of commissioners reviewing land grants which had existed prior to
January 1818. Confirmation was given December 20, 1824. In October 1828, Shadrack Standley also claimed 640
acres which he lived on and cultivated before and during 1818. He claimed he had occupied the land since 1800.

On 18 September 1823, "Shadrack Standly [sic] presented his memorial to this board for three hundred acres of land
lying on St. Mary's river, with a plat and certificate of survey to said Standly, dated the 10th of December, 1817;
which are ordered to be filed." The board members were Alexander Hamilton and William W. Blair members of the
United States Board of Commisioners for East Florida.
On 26 April 1824, the Land Claims Board sitting in St. Augustine, Territory of Florida, called for the case of
Shadrick Stanley [sic] regarding 200 acres of land owed him. His attorney was not ready for trial, so it was
postponed. On 21 June 1824, the Land Claims Board called for the case of Shadrick Stanley regarding 300 acres of
land owed him. George J. F. Clark was examined but not enough information for decision was provided. On 21
December 1824, the Land Claims Board confirmed the claim of Shadrick Standley [sic] for 300 acres of land. (The
200 acres of the 26 April 1824 entry should probably have been 300 acres. - JRH)
On 1 January 1825, the Land Claims Board sitting in St. Augustine, Territory of Florida, published a list of claims
approved by the Commissioners for the District of East Florida. Included was Shadrack Standley's claim for
Florida lands owed him when the area was still under Spanish rule. Claim number 118 from claimant Shadrick
Stanley [sic], was for 300 acres originally granted him on 20 October 1817 by (Spanish Governor - JRH)
Coppinger in accordance with authority granted in 29 March 1815 to those who had participated in the defense of
Fernandina . The land on the St. Mary's River had been surveyed 10 December 1817 by G. J. F. Clarke (George J. F.
Clarke, Surveyor General of Spanish Florida - JRH) and occupied by Shadrack from 1815 to 1824. The land was
situated on the St. Mary's River, south of the river and bounded by Charles Love and vacant lands.
Instructions provided the Surveyor General, among other things, required that grants be laid out in rectangular
parrallelograms, the narrower portion front rivers, creeks and roads, to be one-third the depth which was to
extend inland. If necessary to prevent empty spaces, he was to increase the frontage and correspondingly decrease
the depth.
On 20 January 1829, the Commissioners of the Land Office in St. Augustine published its final report on the land
claims of East Florida. Included was Shadrack Standley's claim for Florida lands owed him when the area was still
under Spanish rule. Claim number 13 of Abstract number 6 was Shadrack Standley's claim for 640 acres of land on
the St. Mary's River. The Commissioners wrote: "This would have been a good claim had it been filed
Page 58 of 220
sooner. It was presented here October 1828. The evidence is this: That claimant occupied the land on St. Mary's
river in the year 1800, and continued there until the year 1821; that he was then 21 years of age, and
the head of a family consisting of a number of children and three or four negroes. The witnesses, J. D. Hart and
John Warren, never heard of his claiming any land under the Spanish or British government." The time for
filing claims had expired 1 November 1827. (Other entries when speaking of heads of families refer to "wife" as
well as children. I conclude that Shadrack was wifeless as some point during the dates mentioned in this claim
and others: 1800 & 1821 and 1815 & 1824 -JRH)
At the end of 1824, Alachua County was organized as a political unit of the new Territory of Florida. The
Seminole inhabitants of the Alachua region had recently been ordered to a reservation, and land was available
there for white settlers. Early in 1826, a post office was established in the area called "Dell's P.O." It derived its
name from the Dell brothers, who had first visited the Alachua region during the "Patriot War" (1812-1814) and had
later returned to settle there. The Indians were living south of Alachua Co. in 1826, but there were continuing
disturbances in the area. Hunger often drove the Seminoles outside the reservation for food. In 1828, the settlement
near Dell's P.O. was officially made the Alachua County seat and named "Newnansville" in honor of a Patriot War
hero, Daniel Newnan. Newnansville became the junction of several important trails through
frontier Florida, including the Bellamy Road, a cross-Florida route authorized by Congress in 1824 as the first
federal road in the new territory. In 1832, when Columbia County was formed, it included Newnansville.
Newnansville was returned to Alachua County when the Santa Fe River became the county line in 1835. During the
Second Seminole War (1835-1842), hundreds of displaced refugee settlers were settled at settled at Newnansville
and also at Fort Gilleland, a nearby military post built in 1836.
After the hostilities were concluded, Newnansville prospered as a commercial center for the expanding Middle
Florida frontier. The chief products of the area were corn, cotton, and after the Civil War, citrus. Except for a few
years between 1832 and 1839, Newnansville served as the Alachua County seat until 1854. In that year, the political
center of the county was moved to the new railroad town of Gainesville. During the next three decades,
Newnansville slowly declined in population and importance. The community was dealt a final blow in 1884, when
the Savannah, Florida and Western Railroad bypassed it. A new town, Alachua, grew up near that
railroad. As the years passed, the residents of Newnansville moved there or elsewhere. By the 1970's only a few
traces remained of the former community, most notable of which is the Newnansville Historic Cemetery.

Records of Washington Co GA, Lamar and Rothstein, Gen. Pub. Co. Inc. Baltimore, 1985. Note that the name of
Sands Stanley in Georgia most probably represents Sands, Jr. The name of Shadrack Stanley, particularly in
Washington County, may represent two different men: The elder Shadrack was a brother of Sands Sr. while the
younger Shadrack was a son of Sands Sr.
** The name Sams Stanley may be a misspelling of Sands, and would be consistent with the father to Sands Stanley
born 1772. However, it is possible there was another Stanley man present we have not yet identified.

According to the 1805 and 1806 Tax List for Montgomery Co Georgia, a Sands Stanley owned land and slaves in
Tattnall Co and 18 slaves in Baldwin County.
From Joe Mack Walker: Sands died in 1828 and left a will which is on record. My ggg-grandfather, James Standley
is listed in the 1830 census. A family story said that James had 2 brothers, David and George. They were listed in
the 1830 census, but I have found no documentation of them being brothers. David B. & George W. Standley moved
down into Holmes co. FL around 1850. James Standley died in 1846 and his son, James B. Standley, along with
others moved to Trinity & Polk counties in TX in 1854. Cynthia Ann "Kitsy" Standley was a sister of James B.
Standley. Not sure if any or all of the Standleys of Henry co. AL were related, but one thing for sure - they all signed
their name Standley, with a "d". Sarah Moon was the 2nd wife of James B. Standley and she died giving birth to
their 4th child, John M. Standley.

A search of records at the Georgia Archive included estates, wills and land deeds. Both Jackson and Lincoln county
records were reviewed. No estate records and no land deeds appeared for Jordan Stanley during the years 1800-

Jordan Stanley owned property in Bibb and Marengo counties in1831. The 119.25 acres in Bibb was owned jointly
with John Moor. The Marengo property was near Cedar Grove Cemetery, Mount Olive Cemetery and St. Michael's
Cemetery. The property was to the East of present Faunsdale and Siddonsville, Alabama. The 80.47 acres in
Marengo was located T17N, R5E, Blk 27 and described as E1/2 NE. John Moor was also in Marengo in 1831 with
80.47 acres located at T17N, R5E, Blk 27 and described as W1/2 NE. John Moor was also listed among the "1816
List of Taxable Property of Washington County, MS Territory" as compiled by Lisa R. Franklin RN, 1996 from
original documents located at the Alabama State Archives (SG3109). John Moor is shown in this record as
indication of a long relationship between him and Jordan Stanley. There was a John Moor in Hancock Co., GA tax
digest in 1796. There is no proof of kinship, however, Bethana Jordan married James Moore in Georgia. Bethana
Jordan was Jordan Stanley's first cousin, a daughter of Dempsey and Sarah O'Neal Jordan.

James Stanley was born in Georgia in 1785. His mother was Penninah Jordan, daughter of Captain Charles Jordan.
The earliest verified record of James Stanley is the Jackson County tax digest of 1810. His brother, Jordan Stanley,
is recorded in the Jackson County tax digests of 1805 and 1810.

In his later writings, R. D. Winn named James Stanley as helping to garrison Fort Daniel at Hog Mountain. The
transcription of the muster roll may be in error.
A land deed transaction of 1816 shows him as seller of seventy-five acres on Cedar Creek (now Barrow County) to
Reverend Hosea Camp. James Stanley sold 75 acres on Cedar Creek (now Barrow County) to Hosea Camp. The
deed was dated May 2, 1816, recorded in 1839 Jackson County Deed Book L, p. 108.
A search of records at the Georgia Archive for Lincoln and Jackson counties did not produce estate, will or land
deed records for James Stanley during 1800-1805.
The 60 acres which James Stanley purchased on (present) Stanley Road in Dacula, GA was awarded in the 1820
Gwinnett Co Lottery to Thomas Kilgore of Clarke County. It was Gwinnett Fifth District, Lot 270.
1821 Georgia Land Lottery. James Stanley drew lots in both Houston and Monroe counties.
1856: James Stanley purchased 40 acres from John Conine. The property was adjacent to his existing home place. It
was in Lot 270. Like James Stanley, John Conine moved to that location after 1820.
The 100 acres which James Stanley willed to his sons James and John in 1875 remained in the family until 1950. By
that time his grandsons, Robert and Early, had added many times that amount of land adjacent to the original home
place. Descendants of James Stanley remain in Dacula, GA. in 1998.
Tradition and living memory attest to the location of his home place near Dacula, Georgia. Since no land deed exists
showing that he purchased that property, it is assumed that he relocated there after 1820. During the 1820 Gwinnett
land lottery Lot 270 was granted to Thomas Kilgore of Clarke County. Land Lot 269 was granted to Thomas Terry
of Elbert County. Since that location was not already claimed by homestead, and was given in the lottery, James
Stanley must have purchased it.
Situated south of the present Georgia Road # 29 on Stanley Road, just west of Dacula. There is a right-of-way for
electrical power lines which transects Stanley Road. On the south side of Stanley Road, about twenty yards down
the west side of the right-of-way lies a mound of rock, or field stones. Close examination of the stones reveals a mud
mortar. These were the stones of the fireplace in the cabin.
This location was verified by personal inspection by the writer and through conversations with people now living in
the area. The property on which he farmed and raised his large family originally consisted of sixty acres in Land Lot
270.
In 1856 he purchased forty acres from John Conine. This property was adjacent to his own, and extended east of the
cabin to Turkey Creek. A land deed filed at Gwinnett County shows that James bought the forty acres for a cost of
one hundred fifty dollars on April 26, 1856. It was on this property that his son, James Young Stanley, erected his
home. James Stanley owned one hundred acres between Hopkins Branch and Turkey Creek, and north of the
property called The Hogan Place.
On the south side of this property, near the present gas pipeline pumping station, is a small cemetery. Located there
are five graves marked with field stones. This private burial place is probably where Penninah Jordan was buried.
Since the census records children in James Stanley's house which are not accounted for in the oral history, some of
the graves may also represent childhood deaths in the family.
James Stanley was married to Elizabeth Conine. According to Census records, James was father to at least twelve
children. Oral tradition states that he and Elizabeth had only four. The 1820 Census information shows four children
born between 1810 and 1820. The identities of those children is not known.
Page 69 of 220
James Stanley died in 1875, and was buried at Fairview Presbyterian Church cemetery in Lawrenceville. Elizabeth
died in 1876, and was listed on the membership roster of that year. The following was copied from the Gwinnett
Herald, a weekly newspaper printed in Lawrenceville.
The number of old citizens who have died within the last few months has been a subject of remark. And it now
becomes our duty to chronicalize the death of another. Mr. James Stanley died last Friday and was buried at
Fairview. He was in his ninetieth year and had been a citizen of the county for nearly a half century.
He has always borne a character for uprighteousness and integrity, which is a bright legacy to his children.
The property in Dacula, Georgia, on which James Stanley first settled and to which was added the Conine property,
served as the family home place for over one hundred thirty years. The original property, off Stanley Road,
remained in the family until 1951 when a grand-daughter of James, Betty Stanley Allen, died and the property was
sold. Today the Stanley family is still represented in Dacula and Lawrenceville and across the country.
The earliest record which establishes the family of James Stanley is a Power of Attorney filed at the Greene County
Probate Office. It states:
In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands and seals this 17th day of February 1836.
Jordan Stanley
Samuel Stanley (his mark)
Stephen Stanley
This Power of Attorney was granted to James Stanley toward securing a portion of remuneration paid by the State to
Dempsey Jordan and his heirs. That payment was made because of losses sustained by Charles Jordan while in
command of Fort Rogers in 1779. At the instigation of the British, some three hundred Creek Indians attacked the
fort and destroyed the Jordan home, several outhouses, and carried off their livestock. Charles Jordan did execute a
Will, which was filed at Wilkes County. However, it was destroyed by fire and not available for probate at his death
in 1780.
The next document found concerning James Stanley was a land deed from 1816, wherein he sold seventy-five acres
Page 70 of 220
on Cedar Creek (now Barrow County) to Reverend Hosea Camp. It reads:
The deed was recorded on November 6, 1839, by William Cowan, clerk. Inscribed on the deed is a drawing of the
parcel of land. It details the location in a deep bend on the North of Cedar Creek. No other geographical description
is made. Cedar Creek flows from West to East on the northwest side of Winder, Georgia.
Two marriage records found at Jefferson, Jackson County, may indicate two possible sisters of James Stanley:
In 1809 Salley Stanley married Thomas Jones
In 1816 Elizabeth Stanley married John Minchett
EARLY RECORDS
The four children are not stated in the oral history. Three are not yet identified. The older woman is believed to have
been Penninah Jordan Stanley.
The 1830 census recorded ten children in the house. Their ages are contiguous with those listed in 1820. The five
children known by oral tradition were born between 1823 and 1832.
Page 71 of 220
James Stanley age 50-60
Elizabeth 40-50
1 male, 2 females under 5 born 1835-1840
2 males, 1 female 10-15 1825-1830
1 male 15-20 1815-1820
1 male, 1 female 20-30 1810-1820
The children, one male and two females, listed under five years old are named in the 1850 census. They were
Henry, Eliza and Syrena. Four children listed in the 1830 census are absent here, probably due to young deaths or
early marriages.
The appearance of Eliza, Syrena and Henry are not stated in the oral tradition. Their marriage records, filed in
Gwinnett County are listed:
Elizabeth Stanley married Thomas M. Hammett in 1851. There was no census record in Gwinnett or Walton
counties for them during 1860 and 1870.
Syrena Stanley married W. F. Lamkin in 1859. The 1860 Gwinnett census listing for them indicates Franklin
Lamkin, at age 29, and his wife, Syrena at age 25. Their property was valued at $685. Both people indicated they
were born in Georgia.
Syrena Lamkin later married William Stanley of Floyd County. The 1900 Floyd County census listed a William
Standley born in 1845 as a widower. He stated he was born in South Carolina as were his patents.
Hosea Stanley remained at home all his life, a laborer on his father's farm. In 1862 he enlisted in the Confederate
service. He died at home later that year due to illness. He died at the age of thirty-four.
In both the 1850 and 1860 Census records, James Stanley stated his state of birth as Georgia. He was never the
owner of slaves. He was mentioned in the writings of Judge R. D. Winn in 1873 as "There is probably but one man
now living who assisted to garrison that post (Fort Daniel, 1812) and that man is our venerable and respected fellow
citizen James Stanley, Now nearly ninety years of age."
Commissioners with authority over roads and waterways were appointed in Gwinnett County by 1821.
July term, 1835: Ordered that Hiram Williams, Alfred Williams and James Bracewell be commissioners to let out to
the lowest bidder the covering and banistering of William's bridge on the road to Decatur, and that Elias Green,
William Gordon and James Stanley be commissioners to let out to the lowest bidder the covering and repairing of
the bridge on the Alcova River at Brandon's Mill.
Page 72 of 220
The Brandon family moved from the Mulberry River area in Jackson County to a farm about one and one-half miles
south of Suwanee. It is believed that Brandon's Mill was at the location where the Alcova River now intersects
Highway 29 west of Dacula. This location has been in the Stanley family for many years and was the site of a grist
mill until its destruction by Phillip (Burl) Stanley in 1959.
Road Commissioners, June term, 1836, 474 District: Newton Bramblett, James Stanley, Robert Gower
1843, June: George Verner, Abel Waldrup, James Alexander, John Foster, Thomas Allison Jr., John Collins, James
Roberts, John Bailey, Burrell Webb, James Stanley, Mark Driskell, William Gordon
1845, June: John Harbin, William Robinson, Joel Davis Fielding Hamilton, Abel Waldrup, James Watson, Asa
Wade Jr., James Stanley, George Kirk, Littleberry Jackson, William Hill, Edward Williams
On Tuesday, May 25, 1836 Colonel James Austin, who was at the head of the Regiment in Gwinnett County,
assembled the entire county militia at the courthouse for the purpose of organizing for the Creek War then raging in
the vicinity of Columbus. Just as they were assembled a messenger arrived from the governor with orders directing
Colonel Austin to raise men for immediate service by voluntary enlistment or by draft. A call was made for
volunteers to form a company for the protection of the citizens of the county and adjoining counties. About ninety
men formed a line. Notice was given that on Friday, the 27th, the company would be organized at the courthouse
when the following citizens met and elected:
The Company was called the Gwinnett Greys. Among the privates were: Elisha Winn, James Peden, J. Barnett, D.
Bradford,Jesse Rambo, John Sammon and James Stanley
Civil War
Troop I was composed of those who were over and under the conscription age, or who were otherwise exempt from
service. The troop was mustered in at Bethany., Georgia. This company was made up from the counties of Jackson,
Gwinnett., Hall and Fulton. Jackson County furnished five Sergeants, four Corporals and forty Privates. There were
three Privates from Hall, and one from Fulton County.
Among those Privates from Gwinnett County is a J. G. Stanley. Due to the requirements of this troop, this may be
either James Stanley, Sr., who was then seventy-nine years old, or his son James Young Stanley, who was then
forty-one years old with nine young children at home.
At the time of his death, James Young Stanley was named J. G. Stanley by the Lawrenceville newspaper.
The probation of the estate of James Stanley, Sr. offered information that was not known by the Oral History.
Firstly, his Will named a son, John C. Stanley, whose identity is not known even among the oldest living
Page 73 of 220
descendants of James Young Stanley.
John Stanley filed a caveat in October 1877 requesting letters of administration over his father's estate. His request
was denied because of a caveat filed by James Y. Stanley, which read:
And now comes James Y. Stanley, one of the heirs at law, and a legatee under said Will of said James Stanley,
deceased, and caveat the granting of letters of administration by this court to said John C. Stanley, with the Will
annexed, the estate of said James Stanley, deceased.
First: Because there is no necessity for an administrator on said estate, there being no property of James Stanley on
which to administer, and no outstanding heirs.
Second: Because by his will said James Stanley disposed of his entire estate, and the personality, which was
bequeathed to his widow absolutely, was taken possession of by her and appropriated to her use as intended by the
testator, and there is no personality belonging to said estate.
Third: Because by said Will, said testator devised his land to caveator and said John C. Stanley (after termination of
life estate of his widow) and caveator having purchased said John C. Stanley's interest therein, has heirs in
possession thereof since the death of said widow, and holds the same under said Will and purchase.
Fourth: Because said applicant is not entitled either as an heir at law, or legatee to letters of administration, he
having no interest whatever in the estate.
Fifth: Because said Will requires no administration to execute it, it having been probated at the instance of caveation
only as evidence of his title to said land.
Wherefore, and for other good causes of caveaty, caveator prays judgment that said applicant is disqualified.
A. L. Hutchins signed the document as Caveator's Attorney. Below is copied the Last Will and Testament of James
Stanley, Sr.
Considering the uncertainty of this mortal life and being of sound mind and memory, Blessed by Almighty God for
the same, do make and publish this my Last Will and Testament in manner and form following, that is to say
First I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Elizabeth one hundred acres of land more or less being and lying in
the County of Gwinnett being part of that lot in Gwinnett to have and to hold her lifetime with all my goods and
chattels to make use of for her benefit and support after which the land is to be divided between my (two) sons for
their benefit.
Item further, I give to my son, John C. Stanley, his heirs and assigns all the sum of fifty acres of the land afore stated
to have and to hold to him the said, J. C., his heirs and assigns forever.
And I hereby give to my son James Y. Stanley the remaining fifty acres of land afore stated of which the one
hundred acres is to be equally divided between them at the time of death of my wife, Elizabeth.
And lastly as to the residue and remainder of my personal estate, goods and chattels of what kind I give and
bequeath the same to my beloved wife, Elizabeth, whom I hereby appoint sole executor of my Last Will and
Testament, hereby making all former wills by me void in witness whereof and hereunto set my hand and seal this
fourteenth day of November, in the year of Our Lord Eighteen Hundred and sixty-nine.
Signed, sealed, published and declared by the above named James Stanley to be his Last Will and Testament in the
presence of us who have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses in the presence of the testator

Attached is a statement signed by Russell Whaley in the presence of Cyrus Allen, Ordinary, dated August 29, 1877.
The statement declares that the witnesses did in fact witness the above will in the presence of each other and the
testator, and that James Stanley executed the Will freely and voluntarily.
Of particular interest to this research are the children listed as living in the James Stanley house between 1820 and
1850. Only those listed by name in the 1850 census have been identified, but there are still many compelling
questions. Those children were Henry, Syrena and Eliza Stanley.
Hosea C. Stanley enlisted March 4, 1862, with Company A 42nd Regiment of the Georgia Volunteer Infantry,
Army of Tennessee. They called themselves the Gwinnett Beauregards. The listing states: "Died of disease at
home in Gwinnett County, Georgia, October 12, 1862."
From War of the Rebellion, Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies:
From the date of his enlistment the activities of the 42nd Regiment can be traced.
The 42nd Regiment was placed under Major General E. Kirby Smith on March 28, 1862. Those who enlisted
from Georgia reported to Knoxville, TN and awaited assignment. On about April 26, 1862, they were assigned to
Brig. General E. L. Stevenson, then stationed at Cumberland Gap.
On April 21, General Stevenson received communication that a large number of citizens had left and vowed to
return with a large Northern army. Within a week of the 17th, General Rosecrans was to attack General Marshall
Page 75 of 220
and enter Tennessee by that route, while General Freemont was to come in through the mountains. Stevenson was
ordered to spare no money or expense in sending out spies and gaining information about enemy troop
movements.
Under Stevenson, and a Colonel named R. J. Henderson, the Confederate forces were successful at Cumberland
Gap, Cumberland Ford, and into the Chattanooga area.
In April the troops were described as being poorly armed, having only 'country rifles.' In June General Smith
wrote an urgent request to Joseph Brown, Governor of Georgia, stating that the Regiments were greatly reduced,
largely by sickness, to an average effective strength of 400 men. (There were some 4,500 men under him in early
April). He asked Governor Brown to add to his numbers by conscript and calling upon absentees who were able
to return to their Regiments.
Item 2:
I certify that I have carefully examined the said Hosey C. Stanley, Private of Captain ______ A Company, and
find him incapable of performing the duties of a soldier because of secondary syphilis.
The blanks are signed or otherwise filled in, but are unreadable.
Item 3:
State of Georgia
Gwinnett County On this 16th day of April 1863
Personally appeared before me a Justice of the Peace in and for the county aforesaid James Stanley who after
being sworn according to law, deposes and says that he is the father of Hosea C. Stanley, deceased, who was a -
private of Captain Lovick T. Thomas, Company A, 42nd Regiment Georgia Volunteers commanded by Col.
Henderson in the service of the Confederate States, in the present war with the United States; that the said Hosea
C. Stanley entered the service at Lawrenceville, in Gwinnett County, State of Georgia on or about the 4th day of
March, 1862, and died of sickness in Gwinnett, on or about the 12th day of October, 1862, leaving no wife or
child lawfully surviving him, and that he makes this deposition for the purpose of obtaining from the government
of the Confederate States whatever may have been due to the said Hosea C. Stanley at the time of his death, for
pay, bounty, or other allowances for this services.
The following sections grant authority to compensate James Stanley for whatever may be owed to Hosea C.
Stanley. The document is signed and sealed in Gwinnett County Ordinary Court, on the 16th day of April 1863,
by G. T. Rakestraw, Ordinary.
A Mr. Samuel W. Davis acted as witness to the document for James Stanley.
ix. ELIZA STANLEY, b. 1832; m. THOMS M. HAMMETT, 1851, Gwinnett Co., GA.
x. SYRENA STANLEY, b. 1834; m. (1) WILLIAM STANLEY; m. (2) WILLIAM FRANKLIN LAMKIN, January 04,
1859, Gwinnett Co., GA; b. 1831.
Syrena Stanley Lamkin later married William Stanley of Floyd CO., GA. The 1900 Floyd county census listed
William Standley as a widower. It showed his state of birth as South Carolina, and the same for his parents.
Page 76 of 220
Also the finding of a grave site at Cedar Creek Baptist Church in Winder, Georgia, peaked the compiler's
curiosity. Cal Stanley was a son of James C. Stanley who entered the Jackson/Gwinnett are about 1835 with a
military land warrant.
Martha Stanley's death certificate was located at the Barrow County courthouse. It proved her to be the former
Martha Harvil. From Gwinnett County marriage records, we know now that Cal Stanley was actually James C.
Stanley, Jr. Note the earlier census listings for his family.
Cal Stanley, in 1907, purchased one hundred fifty-four acres on Cedar Creek from Oliver Cosby. Also in that
year he bought one hundred acres on Fiddlers Creek from J. F. Stanley (see Walton County marriage to Lucy Hill
in 1877). Note that the purchases were made in the year Cal died.
In 1907 Syrena Stanley granted power of attorney to W. C. Hendrix toward securing her interest in one hundred
fifty acres on Cedar Creek, " ... on which Cal Stanley died and Martha is now in possession." Syrena and her son,
J. Charles Stanley, were identified as being the widow and son of William Stanley of Floyd County, Georgia. At
that time Charles lived in Culinaw County, Alabama.
Gwinnett County land deeds revealed that on October 16, 1907 Martha Stanley sold interest in a 54 acre tract in
GMD 216 to J. C. Stanley, Joe Stanley, J. T. Stanley, Louvenia Stanley, Robert E. Stanley, and W. E. Stanley.
On December 13, 1907 Martha Stanley bought 100 acres in GMD 216 from Robert E. Stanley, Emma Oliver, Joe
H. Stanley, Louvenia Stanley, Mrs. William E. Stanley, J. Charles Stanley,
J. F. Stanley, and Mrs. S. B. McDonald.
This Mrs. William E. Stanley and J. Charles were Syrena and her son. These deeds indicate that Syrena married a
son of James C. Stanley, Sr. She was, then, a sister-in-law to Cal and Martha Stanley.
just read your message in the Gwinnett Co. Genforum about (basically) Syrena Stanley and William Franklin
Lamkin. I am familiar with these names because William’s younger sister Sarah Ann was my great-grandmother.
My cousin and I have tried unsuccessfully to find out more about this particular Lamkin branch ourselves. We
know something about William’s father Benjamin from the records of Gwinnett Co., but we simply cannot find
his father or mother—nothing about his NC Lamkin family. You’ve probably already noted that there were very
few Lamkin families in NC at all in 1800, when Benjamin was born. We guess that Benjamin was related to the
same family as a George and a Plummer, but so far, we’ve found no document that gives us any solid clues.
As for William Franklin, we haven’t discovered what happened to him either. His brother James lost a leg at
Hatcher’s Run late in the war, became a judge in the county, and married when he was somewhat old. My best
guess is that William died in the war somewhere too. Oh yes, we’ve noted the somewhat unusual Stanley-
Lamkin-Stanley progression for Syrena there ourselves
A number of years ago, I hired a researcher to look for any records of Benjamin and his family at the Gwinnett
County Historical Society, and she sent me back a number of papers. They were mostly notes about his being a
road commissioner, being in the militia, etc. There was extremely little in the way of dates about his descendants.
The only things I’ve found about William Franklin are 1) his listing in the 1850 census; 2) his listing in the 1860
census; and 3) mention of his marriage to Syrena Stanley. You already know about these facts. The only listings
I can think of that you might not have seen are the Lamkins buried by Benjamin and Permelia in the Old
Lawrenceville Methodist Cemetery. These come from the book Gwinnett County, Georgia Deaths 1818-1989 by
Alice Smythe McCabe. They are: (and there are no names under any spelling variations)
LAMKIN

Mary A. b. 05-27-1873 d. 07-31-1880 (with Benj. F.)

Fannie Lee
SKELTON b. 09-23-1890 d. 02-29-1914 (Level Creek Methodist Church Cemetery on the
Lawrenceville-Suwanee Rd)
I have yet to figure out who any of these people are, but my guess is that the two children Benjamin and Mary are
at least grandchildren of Benjamin and Permelia, only I don’t know how! I’ve found no Lamkin sons around
anywhere except James T., who was unmarried, as far as I know, until much later. The “L.C.” must have stood
for the lady’s given names herself, not for her husband’s (as in Mrs. William Franklin Lamkin). Anyway, I’m
writing these three children’s names for you in the outside chance that one or more of them may have been
William’s children, but I rather doubt it. I still think he was killed in the war.

When J.A. died, Wylie married Henry S. Stanley in 1866. So far I have
found no children for them. But in your posting from the record of
admission to the Confederate Soldier's Home it says "in case of death nofify
Mrs. A. W. Warner, my daughter". Do you know if they had any children? Or
could this be C. Jane Harris who Stanley was probably the acting father
since Jane was only 4 when they married?
Page 79 of 220
Will have to check the 1900 and 1910 census records to see what is
shown. The 1880 census only shows the pair and C. Jane, age 18.
Second marriage to Henry S STanley in 1866 (Inferior Court Minutes) who you
have more info than I. The STanley family was active in Gwinnett Co.
There does not seem to be any children from Henry and Tilitha and since the
person to contact when he died was his daughter Mrs. A. W. Warner, I suspect
that C. Jane Harris is Mrs. A. W. Warner.

56. SAMUEL ARCHER5 STANLEY (SHADRACK4, SANDS3, JONATHAN2 STANDLEY, GEORGE1) was born 1792 in
Washington Co., Ga., and died Bet. 1866 - 1870 in Centerville, Bibb Co., Ala.. He married E LIZABETH PERKINS
December 23, 1815 in Jackson Co., Ga.. She was born 1800 in Georgia, and died Bet. 1870 - 1880 in Bibb County,
AL.
Moved to Washington Co., Ala. 1815-1818. Moved to Bibb Co. abt 1818. He received a land grant on the East side
of the Cahaba River in Bibb Co. The original document is in the possession of Faye Mizzles Gibson, Flint, Tex. It
reads "The NW division of the fraction E of the Cahaba River of sec.28, in township 22 of range 9 in the district of
lands subject to sale at Cahaba, Ala. containing 116 60/100 acres. Certificate # 22,210 Recorded in Vol.47 p.386.
According to an Act of Congress 24 April, 1820. 10 April,1837." It is signed by President Martin Van Buren and
Saml. D. King. This transaction is found in the Old Cahaba Federal Land Office Records in Bk 313 under recording
date of 18 April,1836 .
A search of records at the Bureau of Land Management, General Record Office, produced these Alabama records:

Samuel Stanley may appear on the 1880 Bibb Co., AL census as "Archer" Stanley. An Archer and Elizabeth are in
the next dwelling to James Wilson Stanley on this census, as they were in the previous census. If this census is our
Samuel Stanley and Elizabeth Perkins, then he is reported as ten years older than he was on other census reports.
Elizabeth's age agrees with other census.

His gravestone at Level Creek Methodist Church in Suwanee, Georgia shows the birth and death dates for John C.
Stanley: April 21, 1821 to July 19, 1884.
John married Esther Pullam in 1844. her family was from South Carolina. Esther's burial place has not been located.
However, it appears she was living in 1890 as stated in a land deed of that year. At that time the she, and at least
Joseph Cisero, were resident at Sugar Hill, Georgia.
In 1849 John Stanley purchased 250 acres in land lot 331, fifth land district, from the estate of Elisha Winn. The
property is located southeast of Dacula on Harbins Road where the Lawrenceville Road cuts westward.
A deed recorded in 1871 lists John and Esther Stanley as selling a 250 acre tract of land for the sum of $1,425 to
George S. Vineyard. This tract, in land lot 331 of the fifth land district, had been set aside by the Homestead laws in
1869 for the benefit of the Stanley family.
In 1873 D. P. (Daniel) Harris married H. M. (Harriett) Stanley. Daniel was a son of William Harris. A Daniel Harris
sold fifth district land lots 242 to Job Smith; and 238, 239, and 240 to James Wilson. This land formerly belonged to
Buckner Harris. The records here probbly indicate two Daniel Harrises. Our Daniel and Harriett moved to Pavo,
Georgia.
An 1890 deed recorded at Gwinnett County states that Henry Stanley purchased 150 acres in land lot 306 of the
seventh land district from Mary Payne, Florinda Rice, Harriett Harris, Joseph C., Hosea C., Esther and John T.
Stanley. This land was formerly owned by John C. Stanley. He purchased it from A. G. Harris about 1870. The
location of the property is northeast of Sugar Hill, Georgia. State highway 20 runs through it, the center being at the
intersection with Old Cumming Road.
Little is known about the children of John Stanley. Some facts were learned from Wilma Steed, a grand-daughter
of Hosea C. Stanley, and from letters sent from Edith Stanley, a daughter of Joseph Cisero, to Eunice Stanley in
1973 and 1974. From the letters it is clear that John's grandchildren are somewhat aware of their cousins. Also
evident is that these persons, now in their eighties, are largely not aware of the names of their ancestors beyond their
own parents.

There is a death recorded in the Georgia Mortality Schedule of 1870 listing a Thomas Stanley. He died at the age of
twenty-two while working on the railroad near Suwanee, Georgia. He was buried at the home of R. T. Rhoades, a
railroad supervisor, near Suwanee. Lack of other evidence suggests he was a son of John Stanley.
John's daughter, Mary was wed to a Payne and moved to Prusville, Alabama. They had two sons, Oscar and Edgar.
Dear Eunice,
I've wanted to write for some time but could not find your address and have just found the last letter you wrote me in
1957 - and that is sixteen years ago. I tried to contact Clarence Dalton, but he did not answer my letter. However,
Carrie Gardner did get in touch with him and he did not have any information - so he said.
I remembered that Uncle Tom was killed in a run-away accident in Montgomery the day our home burned in 1911
and I did get a copy of his death certificate. But it was dim and not very much information given. I'm still trying to
get the Stanley data worked out.
I heard through Carrie or Edgar Payne that Cousin Walter and your mother died and I'm hoping somehow this letter
will reach you.
My folks who lived with me have all died and I have lived alone for ten years - since February 3, 1964 when Dick
died in a Birmingham hospital.
I've talked to Carrie Gardner several times but she doesn't seem to know any family data & I've not been back to
Birmingham in two years - since January 21, 1971.
Please write me when Uncle Hosea died, etc. all you know about them, etc. I have a real good chart compiled by
William Stanley Hoole, at teacher at University of Alabama & it gives dates when the first Stanley and his three
sons came to America from England. But since I do not know the
Papa's father died and he lived with his mother until she died. I know that my grandmother Stanley was living in
1891 as she sent a coat to my brother, Richard, when he was born in December 1891. My father only saw his mother
one more time after he left home to work in Vicksburg, Mississippi. His sister, Hattie, married a Mr. Harris and they
lived in Pavo, Georgia. They had a daughter just my age - I'll be eighty years old February 25, 1974.
I've hoped to make a trip to Centre, but since my folks are all passed away I could not make the trip alone. I am
retired. Worked at the Post Office forty years. My one brother, Edward, lives here & works at Brown's Ferry in
Limestone County. Goes back and forth each day and its too long a trip.
My sister, Mattie Counts, lives at Mt. Hope, Alabama, and my sister, Minnie Currie, lives at Gulfport, Mississippi.
One of her sons lives at Huntsville.

A second letter was sent by Edith to Eunice in January 1974. Edith had learned that her grandfather was named John
C. Stanley, and his wife was Edith - as stated on the death certificate of Thomas Stanley. Below are excerpts of that
letter:
Dear Eunice,
Thanks for your good letter and the family data it contained. I shall be able to get more data now.
I was named for my grandmother or great-grandmother Stanley, and her name was Edith. My aunt must have given
the data when Papa died in December 1915 - and when I get his death certificate I hope to be sure of my data.
I think you will find that your grandpa Stanley was named Hosea Chemp, who was born July 7, 1852. My brother,
Joseph, was named for or him - Joseph Kemp Stanley - but Mama wasn't informed that Kemp was spelled with a 'C'.
I'm sure that Cousin Walter was named for Papa, whose full name was Joseph Cisero Stanley - born 1855, 1 think. I
only saw Uncle Tom and Uncle Hosea one time when they came here for visits about 1905 or 1906.
My sister, Annie, and brother, Joe, both died of cancer. Its an awful thing. My brother, Richard, died February 3,
1964 and I have lived alone since then.
I wish I knew more about Aunt Hattie Harris. Mr. Harris and Aunt Hattie did live at Pavo, Georgia, and they had a
daughter born in 1894 - the same age as me. Mr. Harris was a school teacher.
I wish you lived nearer here. We had planned a trip up there when Dr., Fred Stanley lived there. He married Dorothy
Bobo -who used to live at Centre.
Mary is a name used in the Stanley family often. My name is Mary Edith.
Love,
Edith Stanley
From these two letters some information can be gathered about the lineage of Joseph Cisero Stanley, a son of
John C. Stanley. However, the writer is somewhat in awe that Edith Stanley lived her first eighty years without
knowing her grandfather's name.
It is clear that the children of John Stanley moved away from home at early ages. This scattering of the family
accounts for each side of the family knowing so little about each other.

vi. JOSEPH CISERO STANLEY, b. 1855; d. 1915.
The story is that one day he drove a horse and buggy through Bettstown, near Carl, and saw a beautiful girl
milking a cow. He declared then that he wanted that girl for his wife. In 184 6 James Y. Stanley married Elizabeth
Caroline Betts, who was then fourteen years old. Caroline was the daughter of Lovick (1807-1880) and Mary (1813-
1895) Betts. It is now known that Mary Betts was formerly a Clack. Their burial place at Midway Methodist Church
outside Auburn, Georgia.
The story of Bettstown and the Betts family follows this chapter
It is known that he (James Y. Stanley) built a house near his father on now Stanley Road, just west of Dacula,
GA. where he raised his family of seven girls and two boys.
The home was built on a forty-acre tract his father bought from John Conine in 1856. Those forty acres was
situated on the eastern side of land lot 270 in the Fifth District. The property remained in the family until the death
of his daughter, Betty, in 1951. The rest of his land holdings were sold and the proceeds divided among his heirs.
Sometime about 1952 the house was destroyed by fire. The records of 1913 indicate that daughters Mary and Betty
were the last of the family in possession of the home place.
At his father's death James Y. Stanley came into possession of one hundred acres which was left in life estate to
his mother, Elizabeth. The forty-acre tract where his house stood was part of that one hundred acres in land lot 270.
Land deeds at the Gwinnett County courthouse showed that in 1876 the year Elizabeth died - James Y. Stanley
became the rightful owner of that property. Also in that year he purchased one and one-half acres from Russell
Whaley in land lot 269 to the south of his own property. Then he purchased one hundred fifty acres from John
Loveless in land lot 243. Lot 243 borders on the West Side of Lot 270. A 128 acres tract known as the Hogan Place
divided his property.
The first record of ownership of the Hogan Place was an 1850 record wherein John Richardson sold it to Alfred
Baggett. The next record shows Wiley Hogan borrowing against it from the Georgia Loan and Trust Bank in 1887.
Dr. Sam Freeman bought that tract from Wiley Hogan in 1892. Then in 1895 Robert Stanley purchased it. This
transaction brought all of Land Lot 270 and one-half of Land Lot 243 into the Stanley family.
James Y. Stanley did leave a Last Will naming Bona Allen as his executor. But in 1913 his heirs joined and agreed
that

1. Mary and Betty should retain their ownership of the house, farm tools, all wagons, buggies which was
deeded to them during their father's life. Ownership would pass to the surviving sister, which was Betty.
2. Bona Allen, as agent, should convert all other assets of the estate into cash and divide the proceeds among the
children.
The State of Georgia raised a Militia in each county, also called the Home Guards. The 1863 Gwinnett Militia Rolls,
District 407 - which was the Town District - lists James Y. Stanley.

The Pleasant Hill Methodist Church was located on James Waiter's property, behind what later became the Robert
Stanley home place. That cemetery is final resting-place for much of the family beginning with James Young
Stanley and his wife Caroline Betts. In 1857, James Waiter initiated the original deed for that tract of land as
follows:

Asa Stanley was listed by J. W. Stanley as a son of Jordan Stanley, Samuel's brother. Current research has not
determined whether Jordan Stanley had a son named Asa, or whether there are CSA records for his military service.
The date of 1862 would indicate a wartime death.
From the tombstone of Asa A. Stanley in Velvet Ridge, Ark, he was born Sept 7, 1841. Alabama census records
and estate records for Samuel Stanley show Asa was a son of Samuel.

Source: Mrs. Maxine Crosley, December 1998. Mrs. Crosley met and talked to Alice Stanley of Greenwood
MS, sister to John Walton Stanley. Alice took possession of J.W.'s research and family papers after his death.
She had several boxes of mostly correspondence that J.W. had collected through his years of genealogy. Maxine
and her husband, Ken, had opportunity to examine the materials and photocopy much of it. From those materials
she made photocopies of the Bible pages. Alice Stanley never married.
David Robertson, third cousin to Maxine Crosley, says the family Bible and other materials are now (1998) in

115. LOUISA JANE7 STANLEY (JAMES YOUNG6, JAMES5, SHADRACK4, SANDS3, JONATHAN2 STANDLEY, GEORGE1)
was born January 09, 1848 in Dacula, Gwinnett Co., GA, and died March 22, 1918 in Buford, Gwinnett County,
Georgia. She married NAPOLEAN BONAPART ALLEN November 15, 1866 in Gwinnett County, Georgia, son of
WASHINGTON ALLEN and BRIDGET MACKIN. He was born December 27, 1846 in Dacula, Gwinnett Co., GA, and
died October 18, 1925 in Buford, GA.
Bona Allen was a son of Washington Allen of Dacula. All of the Allen children were born and raised in Dacula.
Wash Allen was in the business of tanning hides, and even imported his tanning chemicals from England. This trade
he taught to his sons, particularly Robert and Bona.
In about 1871 Bona moved to Rome, Georgia where he stayed for about two years. He and Louisa moved to Buford
in 1873, actually following his brother Robert there for the hide tanning business. Bona eventually ran the entire
business. With the success of their ventures, Bona moved his parents to Buford about 1874.
Vines Allen, Bona's brother, had no particular interest in the tanning business. He married one of Louisa's sisters,
Georgia Stanley, and moved to Houschton, Georgia.
The tannery grew greatly in the following years. It was expanded to include a horse collar factory, a harness factory,
saddle factory, glue factory, and a shoe factory. The Allen family came to be viewed as the leading family in the
county - their business payroll exceeding one million dollars annually and employing thousands of county residents.
At the time of his death Bona Allen owned approximately seventy-five percent of of the property in Buford,
Georgia.
In 1912 his son, Bona Allen, Jr. built the magnificent mansion for his parents which still stands as a showplace in
downtown Buford. The home is now the residence of a local businessman, Mr. Bailey. Leading to the mansion are
several white-columned homes where the sons of Bona and Louisa lived. In 1986 the homes were used for offices
by local attorneys.
Louisa grew ill in her final years. Her sister, Bettie, moved to Buford to help care for her. When Louisa died in
1918, Bona Allen married Bettie Stanley. This was the second marriage for each of them.
Bona Allen died in 1925 and is buried beside Louisa at the Buford City Cemetery. Bettie returned to the home of her
father in Dacula where she resided until her death in 1951. She is buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Dacula.
Robert Allen first moved to Buford to start a tanning business there. Bona, his brother, later moved his family there.
Nearly all the Allen family lived in Buford, Georgia, and most are buried there.

116. EARLY JORDAN7 STANLEY (JAMES YOUNG6, JAMES5, SHADRACK4, SANDS3, JONATHAN2 STANDLEY, GEORGE1)
was born March 04, 1850 in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and died August 27, 1927 in Gwinnett County, Georgia. He
married FLORINDA REBECCA AMBROSE November 25, 1880 in Gwinnett County, Georgia. She was born 1858 in
Gwinnett County, Georgia, and died 1929 in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
Early and Flora were parents to ten children. The family was born and reared on their farm of 275 acres. Gwinnett
County land deeds indicate that Early Stanley purchased 130 acres in land lot 243 from Jane Loveless on April 11,
1901. His father, James Y. Stanley already owned 140 acres in the northeast corner of that land lot. In November
1913, the children (heirs) of James Y. Stanley sold the remainder of the land lot to Early for a sum of $1,500.
This home place has remained in the family since it was acquired by James Y. Stanley in the late 1800s. Only once
was it in peril of being sold about 1930. Early's eldest son, Dolph, had returned from Miami in hopes of farming for
a living. In his efforts he borrowed too heavily against the farm. Early's brother-in-law, Jack Sims, paid the
outstanding debts and bought the farm. Toward recovering his investment he allowed the farm to be placed at
auction. At that time it was purchased by J. D. Williams, who had married Early's niece, Buel. Uncle Jack then
allowed Dolph to move his family into the Elisha Winn house, which he then owned.
The 1860 Gwinnett Co., GA census lists Florinda as one year old and living with the John T. Smith family.

117. ALICE7 STANLEY (JAMES YOUNG6, JAMES5, SHADRACK4, SANDS3, JONATHAN2 STANDLEY, GEORGE1) was born
December 22, 1852 in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and died 1936 in Gwinnett County, Georgia. She married
SAMUEL LOCKLIN HINTON 1870 in Gwinnett County, Georgia, son of W ILLIAM HINTON and SUSAN FREEMAN.
He was born January 25, 1846, and died 1918 in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
She married Dr. Samuel L. Hinton in 1870 at the age of eighteen. He was the youngest of four children of William
and Susan Freeman Hinton.
Sam Hinton attended county schools and at the age of sixteen enlisted in the Confederate Army - the Fifty-fifth
Georgia Regiment - where he served the entire war. Later he attended the College of Physicians and Surgeons at
Macon, Georgia. He returned home to Dacula and began practicing medicine.
The Hinton family was very active in their church life. Methodists and members of Pleasant Hill Methodist Church
in Dacula. When the meeting house of Pleasant Hill was overdue for extensive repairs, the Hinton family offered to
build a new church in town. Today Hinton Memorial Methodist Church bears a plaque in memorial to Sam and
Alice Stanley Hinton.
Alice and Sam had nine children: Alma, Susan, Ada, Edgar, Anna Lee, Chalmers, Claude, Una and Herbert. Three
of their daughters later married doctors.
Dr. Sam Hinton died in 1918 at the age of seventy-two. Alice Hinton died eighteen years later in 1936.
Today Herbert's children, Alice Hinton Ray and Sam Hinton, reside in Dacula. Sam lives at the home place and
Alice resides in her father' s home on Lawrenceville Highway
Dr. Samuel Locklin Hinton, physician and druggist of Dacula, Gwinnett County, Georgia, was born in Walton
County January 25, 1846. He was the fourth and youngest child of Susan Freeman and William Hinton. His father,
a large land owner and at one time tax collector of Walton County, died of fever in his forty-seventh year, leaving
the following children: John, Henry, Mary Ann and Samuel who was then three months old.
In a short time Samuel's mother moved to Gwinnett County where she bought land and built a home which still
stands about two miles west of Dacula. The family later moved to a house which they built in town.
One night he had a date with Ruby Mauldin of Dacula, and asked his father for the use of his car, which had only
recently been purchased. The car was kept at the house of Robert's brother-in-law, Dr. Sam Hinton.
When Shirley asked for the use of the car he was denied, and Shirley's cousin, Claude Hinton, heard the
conversation. After Robert went to bed, Shirley went to the Hinton home and removed the car from the garage to
fill his date. Later he returned the car to the garage without mishap, so no one should be the wiser.
Claude Hinton, knowing what had happened, told his uncle Robert all that he knew. The next day Shirley was
getting a shave and haircut at George Lee Tanner's barber shop. Robert came in and confronted his son about the
episode.
Before the haircut was finished, Shirley threw off the barber towel and ran from the shop. He knew he could find
Claude at the store of Mark Stanley two doors down the street. At the store Shirley confronted Claude with an axe
handle and a fight ensued.
After the fight with his cousin, Shirley returned home. Soon he hitched a train to Miami, Florida, where he joined
the U.S. Navy. He wrote several letters from Miami, one advising that he was assigned to the USS Cyclops. A
year later he was sent to South America aboard the Cyclops. The next communication was from the Department
of the Navy advising of his death aboard that ship.
Shirley was once engaged to marry Rebecca Winn, daughter of Lathan and Ava Cain Winn. Of course, Rebecca
married Clarence Monfort of Lawrenceville and had one child, Margaret, who married W. G. Holt. However, in
1968 Rebecca Winn Monfort returned the engagement ring to Buel Stanley Williams, Shirley's sister. Buel passed
the ring to its present owner, Louie Stanley, as an heirloom.
Below is copied a letter Shirley sent from Miami to his parents. The envelope is post marked from Miami,
Florida. The return address is 318 Bay Street, Miami, Florida.
Addressed to: Mr. & Mrs. R. M. Stanley, Dacula, Georgia.

Upon Shirley's arrival in Miami, Florida, he enlisted in the Navy and was assigned to the ship CYCLOPS. The
CYCLOPS was a well-built freighter donated to the U. S. Navy by a wealthy shipping magnate. It was shortly put
into service by the Navy in 1910. Early in 1918 the ship left port in Maryland for Rio, Brazil, to pick up a cargo
of manganese. Stopping as ordered in Barbados to take on passengers, the CYCLOPS was en route to U. S.
waters with some fifty-seven "causal I military personnel returning from their tours of duty and the U. S.
Ambassador to Brazil with his entourage.
USS CYCLOPS
CYCLOPS, a Navy Collier, tonnage 19,360, left the Barbados, West Indies, March 4, 1918, and was never
heard from again. On June 14, 1918, the Navy Department officially announced the death of all on board the ship.
It has been said that the Navy
Department was advised in 1930 that the CYCLOPS was sunk by an explosion of bombs placed in the engine
room by German agents. There were 293 men aboard the ship, all of whom were lost.
The New York Times newspaper carried a series of articles concerning the mystery in 1918. Also, the magazine
OUR NAVY ran an article in 1933 which restated some of the theories
which might explain the disappearance. There was an exhaustive search performed by the Navy in the waters of
the Caribbean Sea which netted no wreckage. There were no radio transmissions received from the CYCLOPS by
any ship at sea or land port. The combination of actors which surrounded the lost ship led to much speculation.
There was no evidence of a storm, and theories that a giant squid had sunk the ship could not be taken seriously.
(Literary Digest, 1918)
The Department of the Navy attempted to quiet the hysteria when it was learned that the commander of the
CYCLOPS, a lieutenant in the U. S. Naval Reserve, was of German parentage. Many believed that he scuttled the
ship in sympathy for Germany. The Navy was very strong in support of the commander's loyalty after some
twenty years of faithful service.
In April 1918 the Navy Department discounted the theory that a German Submarine had sunk the CYCLOPS.
The argument was that the nearest known German submarine base was over 3, 000 miles away It was believed
that no submarine could have traveled that far. In addition, the German Admiralty records which were released
after the war revealed no mention of sinking the United States ship.
The Mysterious loss of the CYCLOPS will never be resolved. However, the story remains a tribute to Shirley
Wootson Stanley and the other men who died aboard her.
119. CALLIE7 STANLEY (JAMES YOUNG6, JAMES5, SHADRACK4, SANDS3, JONATHAN2 STANDLEY, GEORGE1) was
born 1866 in Dacula, Ga, and died 1927 in Lawrenceville, Georgia. She married A LBERT CRAIG 1884 in
Lawrenceville, Georgia, son of GEORGE CRAIG and ANN TERRELL. He was born 1854 in Lawrenceville,
Georgia, and died 1916 in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
In 1884 at the age of eighteen she married Albert Craig, the son of George and Ann Terrell Craig. George's father
was Robert Craig of Lawrenceville. The Craig plantation is legendary in Gwinnett as it was called "Little Egypt".
During the early years of the county Robert Craig built an estate which stretched some ten miles across. He owned
many slaves and maintained a storehouse of grains and goods which were purchased by the whole county. Robert
Craig was the grandson of John and Ellen Craig, who sailed for America from Ireland in 1773.
Albert and Callie Craig were Presbyterians and very active at Fairview Presbyterian Church in Lawrenceville, where
they are both buried. They had three children:
Daisy Williams was a daughter of Joel Cash Williams and Emma Tanner Williams. She was born in 1892 on the
family farm on Drowning Creek Road in Dacula. Leon and Daisy were married fifty-seven years at his death in
1980. Daisy was a homemaker and teacher for thirty-eight years and in 1986 was the last surviving member of the
Lawrenceville High School class of 1910. Daisy died at home in Lawrenceville in 1987.

AMBROSE. He was born 1861 in Sweetgum area, near Lawrenceville, GA, and died 1890 in Dacula, GA. She

Ben Wheeler, Van Zandt Co., Tx.. She married (1) J EFF BISSELL. She married (2) WILLIAM ASALOM MIZZLES
July 09, 1871 in Centreville, Bibb Co., Ala., son of J OSEPH MIZZELL and HARRIET GUTHRIE. He was born

STANDLEY, GEORGE1) was born November 25, 1858 in Bibb Co., AL, and died February 23, 1949 in Hearne,
Robertson Co., TX. He married (1) MILDRED KATHERINE HEARD August 26, 1880 in Pinetucky, Perry Co., AL,
daughter of JESSE HEARD and REBECCA BAILEY. She was born December 08, 1860 in Pinetucky, Perry Co., AL,
and died August 23, 1915 in Robertson Co., TX. He married (2) M RS. CADDELL Aft. 1915.
Also another correction I would like to correct when possible is Mary "Polly" Bird/Byrd which you will find in my
index as "Polly Unknown". This is the wife of Benjamin Griffin. Their granddaughter Elizabeth married James
Wilson Stanley. You and many other people have her with the Bird or Byrd name. The Bird as a name for her
originally came from Mary Auburtin of Marion, AL. She is my cousin in two or three different ways. She says it
was pure speculation on her part because a Richard Bird who lived in the same county was about the right age to be
a brother of Polly, and Benjamin and Polly named their second (or perhaps third) son "Bird". But this has been
almost certainly proved erroneous by the will of the father of Richard Bird. Mary no longer includes the Bird name
on her family group sheets for Benjamin and Polly.
You may notice some differences in the age of some of the Stanley men. I think when they got to Texas they added
a year to their age. I have used the earliest census records in the case of Sam L., (3 of them say age 1, 11, 1n 21)
and the 1900 census for Congress Eivens, and James Heard Stanley. James Wilson Stanley is off worse than that
but I used what appeared to be the most nearly correct information, but after obituaries and in some cases
tombstones show them older, some of his descendants I am sure will not believe it.
The 1900 census gives Sam L. Stanley's date of birth as November, 1957. However, the 1860 census lists his age as
age 1; the 1870 lists him as age 11, and the 1880 lists him as age 21. Since the earlier census reports are more likely
to be correct than the 1900 one, he is listed on this report as born November 1958. His obituary also lists him as
older than born in 1958, but this could very easily be incorrect at that late date.
Jessie Wilson Stanley never had any children according to Jewel Stanley Bishop and Alma Fowler Griffin. He
was called "Buck" by family. Jewel says Jessie's birthdate was January 2, 1887 and this is confirmed by the
1900 census which says January, 1887. Jewel says his place of birth was Bibb Co., Alabama and a chronological
report by his sister Gertrude seems to confirm Alabama. However the 1900 census lists his birthplace as Texas.
Gertrude's chronological report says Perle was born in Alabama, Gertrude was born near Livingston, TX but
when she was a baby they moved back to Alabama and stayed until she was 8 years old. The 1900 census shows
Perle born in AL and all the other children born in TX. Since twins were born April 22, 1889 and "Little Twin"
died April 22, 1889 and is buried in Elliott Cemetery, if correct, places the family in Robertson Co. in 1889.
Mary Hensley Stanley was born in Oklahoma, died at age 66 in Pryor, OK, and was buried in Elliott Cemetery,
according to Jewel Stanley Bishop. Her obituary says that she never had any children. This was recorded by
Mary Auburtin with the source of her information being Jewel.

Co., Tex.. He married SARA JANE "PINK" WARREN, daughter of ACE WARREN. She was born March 27, 1863,
and died May 28, 1930 in Whitehouse, Smith Co., Tex..
According to Eva and Ruby, daughters of C.Q. Stanley, Mike lived his later years with his daughter Pearl. She, her
husband Cal and their daughter "cleaned out" all the old Stanley things. Another rendition says they burned J.W.'s
trunk of papers and mementos, which apparently Mike had.
"Some of Pink's brothers came to Texas with Pink & Mike , there was some traveling back & forth". Pink was a
cousin to Martha Jane Warren who married C.Q. Stanley.

Smith Co., Tex.. He married (2) NETTIE LARUE JONES BOWERS Abt. 1937.
J.W. Stanley gave his son C.Q. 40 acres in Bibb County about 10 miles South of Centerville in the Moore
community. This was part of the original "land grants" to J.W.'s father Samuel.
C.Q. is said to have killed a "squatter" in Dec.,1914 and "went to Huntsville".
Most of the personal information for C.Q.'s family and much of that for his father's came from an interview with
his daughters Eva and Ruby 16 Nov., 1968 given to Norma Mizzles Shotts. She had also spoken with Sam Stanley,
C.Q.'s son, in 1964.
C.Q.'s second marriage was made when he was 71 years old and a child born to him at 74.

According to daughters Mary Jo Bourg and Alma Griffin, Gertrude's middle name was for family friends. Two
Connell families lived in the same community with Samuel Lafayette Stanley in Centreville, Bibb Co., Alabama.
Perhaps this is the family Gertrude was named for. According to a cousin, Mary Griffin Auburtin of Marion,
Alabama in 1996, some of the Connell family still lives in Bibb County. Their name, she says, is pronounced with
the accent on the first syllable. One family Bible has her middle name spelled "Connell", but according to Mary Jo
Gertrude said it was spelled "Conelle".
In a Bible presented to James Griffin Fowler on December 25, 1933 at Dale, Texas, by his wife and daughters
Alma, Lillian and Willnia, the name of the first child of James and Gertrude was spelled Aubry Eugean Fowler,
born October 2, 1905 and died November 19, 1905. Elizabeth Robbins is spelled with two Bs. A brother Eugean
has the same spelling as in Aubry Eugean. Buddy's name is spelled "Bland" but then the "d" is crossed out. No
middle name is written for Gertrude.
In a Bible presented by Wilnia Clogston, Christmas, 1967 to "Mom and Dad", Aubry's name is spelled Aubrey

I appreciate your efforts in getting the Stanley History in print. Hopefully you will pursue stories and historic
facts from my aunt Eunice Robinson (Aunt Gib), Joseph Walter Stanley's daughter, and Wilma Steed, my father's
double first cousin. I have one of my grandfather's Bibles. Here is some information that appears in it:
I remember stories being told about hiding apples in the attic. When the Yankees came, they smelled them. My
aunts could tell you funny stories about my Dad, and a few about J. Walt. I remember my grandfather with happy
thoughts.
As you would imagine, J. Walt was a pillar of the community. He helped build Fairview Methodist Church. He
farmed, had a syrup mill, and raised chickens.
My father, Byron, donated the land on which the church clubhouse was built. He ran the General Store and
bought produce in Atlanta for all the grocery stores in Centre. He also sold chickens to packing plants in Atlanta.
It kept many families in money through the winter I will tell you that long story later.
As for my family, we have moved around. My husband, Andy, was a marine pilot for the first five years of
marriage. He served for eight years and got out in 1964 as a Captain. He has worked for United Airlines for the
past twenty-three years as a pilot - and finally made Captain there, too!

As long as I can remember my Dad had a saying that originated around Lawrenceville or Dacula. When one of us
kids would be late coming in he would say, "You must have gone by old man Waiter' s. 11 1 say this same thing to
my kids, and they say it too. He also had another saying, "I can't make anything of you but Math Abbott."
My dad hated to see a woman smoke. When he saw one smoking, he would say, "She needs to have her jaws boxed
good." I must have heard that a thousand times.

His parents were married in 1916, the record held at the Barrow County courthouse. For a time they lived at the
home of Burl's father, Robert. In Fall of 1922 they moved to Miami, Florida. It was about this time that Mark and
Carl Stanley, Burl's cousins, also moved to Miami. Upon their arrival Burl began work for the H. J. Heinz Company
and rented a boarding house which Willie rented out. The family remained in Miami until the great hurricane of
September 1926 which destroyed much of the city, including the boarding house.
Upon their return to Dacula in 1926, they lived for a short time with Burl's father. Burl worked with his cousin Carl
at his Lawrenceville store, which was located near the train depot. Louie began school at Dacula and remained with
his grandfather while the family moved to a house on the depot hill in Lawrenceville.
In 1927 Burl went to Woodlawn, Alabama, outside Birmingham seeking work. He stayed there about three or four
months before sending for his family to join him. The family stayed in Woodlawn until November 1929, while Burl
worked with a tire vulcanizing company there. During this time Louie attended Woodlawn Elementary School.
When they returned to Dacula in late 1929 they returned again to the home of Robert Stanley. During that winter,
which is remembered as the coldest winter imaginable, there were five families staying at the home place: Frank and
Roba Baldwin, Buel and J. D. Williams, Curtis Stanley and his children, Burl and Willie, and Orth and Fairimac
Stanley. Benjamin was still young and unmarried, so he was also at home. That December Louie resumed school at
Dacula.
Early in 1930 the family moved onto the Harm Allen place, which they farmed until their house was built nearer to
the Alcova River. The new house was completed in 1931 and the family moved again. Also at this time, Early Jr.
and his wife Ethel (King) moved into the Harm Allen place from a house that was standing at his father's farm
across the road.
The Burl Stanley house was a two-story building with the bed rooms upstairs. They opened and operated a store and
gas station in the front lower part of the house. The old mill was still standing on the river, but since it was not in use
they used it for a barn. The house stood at the location of the present driveway to the Alcova Trailer Park three miles
west of Dacula on Highway 29. Within two years the young son, Tyson, developed a sleep-walking problem and the
upstairs bedrooms were relocated to the rear of the house. The family remained at this location until 1937, when
they returned again to Miami, Florida. This house remained until 1959 when it was removed and the first trailers
were moved into the Park.
Louie finished high school at Lawrenceville in 1936 and shortly left home to join the U. S. Coast Guard. His
military career was a successful one which led him to all parts of the globe. What follows is condensed from his
official form DD-214 issued upon his retirement in 1966.
Military Record
Enlisted 24 July 1936 in Atlanta, Georgia, and served on active duty until 31 July 1966.
In 1939 he was stationed at Charleston, South Carolina, aboard the USCGC AGASSIS. The ship was placed into
dry dock at St. John's Dry Dock on the St. John's River outside Jacksonville, Florida. There he met and married
Clytie Leona Beasley. The Beasley family was from the Macclenny, Florida area. Her father, in later years, was a
horticulturalist who with his brothers planted and maintained many of the orange groves in central Florida.
Clytie had been previously married and bore one daughter, who she and Louie raised. That daughter, Barbara, bore
three sons but was not inclined to parentage. In 1956, Louie and Clytie Stanley legally adopted the three boys.
Some people look strictly toward blood lines to determine true family ties. This case proves the contrary. Louie
Stanley gave his sons his name, home and heritage. From him they learned about faith in God, honor, loyalty, and
the meaning of family. This writer, for one, takes serious dispute with any that would deny his 'blood relation'.
Louie Stanley was officer in charge of the security crew which boarded the ARAUCA and held the ship before final
disposition. The Miami Herald newspaper of April 1941 carried a photographic special on the seizure of the ship.
Several of the pictures include Louie Stanley as leading the photographers and exhibiting the comfort and
technology of the German ship.
Since the United States and Germany were not at war, the German flag was allowed to remain displayed on the
ARAUCA. Shortly after the seizure President Franklin Roosevelt entered the harbor aboard his 165-foot yacht.
Noticing the German flag he pulled along side the seized ship and ordered the German flag lowered. This act of
seizing a German vessel could have been considered the first act of war by the United States. The German officers
and crew were later interred at Arizona Federal Prison for the duration of the war. The Arauca was placed in service
for the United States throughout the war.
Dear Sir,
I would like to express through you to the officers and men of the NEWELL the admiration and the warm personal
gratitude of Mrs. Morgenthau and myself for their heroic rescue of the survivors of the U.S. S. LANSDALE, lost
through enemy action in the Mediterranean on April 20. As you are perhaps aware, our son, Lieutenant Robert M.
Morgenthau, U.S.N.R., was executive officer of the LANSDALE and was among those rescued.
The officers and men of the NEWELL by their gallantry and able seamanship displayed in the rescue of the
LANSDALE survivors upheld the highest traditions of the Coast Guard and have strengthened our admiration for a
service to which now more than ever we feel closest ties.
As a very small token of our gratitude we are enclosing a check for $100 made payable to you, which we should like
to contribute to the morale fund of the NEWELL.
Sincerely,
In 1982 Louie noticed a newspaper article which named Robert M. Morgenthau as Manhattan District Attorney
in New York. His subsequent letter to Mr. Morgenthau received the following reply:
January 4, 1983
PERSONAL
I will never forget the night of April 20, 1944 and how fortunate I was to be rescued by the NEWELL. As I recall it,
the escort commander had directed the ships escorting the convoy not to pick up survivors, but the NEWELL had
stopped anyway to look for survivors. By the time I reached the NEWELL I was pretty well exhausted and someone
climbed down the cargo net and pulled me up.
It was good to hear from you, and I hope you are in good health. If you ever find yourself in New York, I hope you
will let me know.
Sincerely,
Robert M. Morgenthau
As fate would have it, Louie Stanley, a Chief Boatswain's Mate, was actually in the water pulling survivors onto the
NEWELL cargo nets.
Louie Stanley's last tour of duty was aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Walnut, a bouy tender, based at Miami, Florida.
Upon his retirement and the sale of his house in Ft. Lauderdale, he returned to Dacula, Georgia. Since 1966 he has
lived on the same land where his family lived on the Alcova River.
Louie has been sincerely involved in his church, Hebron Baptist, in Dacula. His unswerving faith in God and his
Christian beliefs best describe him today. In 1986 he was elected a Deacon at his church, and he continues his work
there.
