This story is extracted from the book, "The Drapers in America," by Thomas Waln-Morgan Draper published by John Polnemus Company, 121 Fulton Street, New York, 1892.
The family of Stansfield or Stansfeld of Stansfeld, as anciently written, trace their descent from Wyon Maryon, the descendant of a noble line in Brittany and companion-in-arms of William the Conqueror, who obtained from his Royal Master a grant of the extensive Township of Stansfield in the county of York, England and assuming therefrom his surname, was founder of this Family.
His descendants have remained in this country ever since, enjoying high respectability. The ancient residence, Stansfeld Hall, is still to be seen in the once beautiful valley of Todmore. Branches of the family are scrattered over the British Isles and America.
