John STANLEY

Notes:

Name:
There were three children but the youngest was dead before the order of the General Court of March 3, 1635 was made, as this resolution disposing of the estate of the father shows: "Whereas John Stanley dyed intestate, in the way to Newe England, & lefte three children vndisposed of, the youngest whereof is since disceased--." (Col. Rec. of Mass., vol. I, p. 134.) One uncle, Thomas Stanley agreed to bring up John and he became his adopted son. timothy, the other brother of the deceased agreed to take care of Ruth. Both John and Ruth were married the same day, it is said, but this statement may be wrong. In the case of John the records reads: "was maryed vnto Sary Scott the fif ( )th of descember one Thousaind Six hundreth forty & fiue." The letters missing in the brackets were probably "teen" making the word fifteen whereas Ruth was married on the fifth.
