"Those only deserve to be remembered by posterity,
who treasure up the history of their Ancestors." - Burke
By the time of the first census in America in 1790, many STANLEY families had settled in this country. The average STANLEY household had 5.5 members and census records indicate that there were more STANLEY heads-of-households living in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and North Carolina than in any other part of America.
The crested arms of the Stanley family were:
ARMS: Argent on a bend azure, three bucks'
heads cabossed or.
CREST: On a chapeau gules turned up ermine an eagle, wings endorsed or, feeding on
an infant in its nest proper swaddled azure, banded of the third.
My families particular line is descended from Robart Stanley, born in Tenterden, Kent, England. Robart had three sons, John, Thomas, and Timothy, who emigrated from England to Boston, Massachusetts in 1634 on the ship, the Elizabeth & Dorcas. John Stanley, died on the ocean voyage from England. His son, also named John Stanley, was born in January of 1624. After his father died, he was cared for by his two uncles. It is from this John Stanley , that my family is descended. John, Thomas, and Timothy were among the founders of Hartford, Connecticut.
My Stanley Family line's ancestor, Robert E. Stanley, left Connecticut in 1833, to travel to Illinois.He arrived in Lake County Illinois in 1836, making him one of Lake County's earliest pioneers. Tales of Robert, and two of his four sons, Robert E. Stanley, Jr., and Aralzeman Stanley (from whom my family's line is descended), can be found at the bottom of this page, or by

It has now been over 122 years since the publication of the original book, and it would be virtually impossible to publish a book as comprehensive as the original, because of the large number and dispersion of all the descendants. However, a revised edition is possible, and being contemplated, but I need help. If you're descended from this line, and would like your family line added to this online database, or to the revised edition, please send me an E-Mail message.
