Synopsis

Discover the lineage of Thomas Stanton and his Connecticut descendants from 1635 to 1891.

This genealogy blends biographical sketches with historical records to illuminate a family whose story spans more than two centuries in New England.

Structured as a historical and genealogical reference, the book gathers facts from early voyages, colonial records, and community milestones to trace faces, names, and places across generations. It notes the first Stanton in America, milestones in Hartford and Saybrook, and the roles the family played in shaping local history, while acknowledging gaps when records were lost or destroyed. The volume also highlights the editors’ methods and invites future updates to keep the lineage accurate for readers and descendants.

  • Learn how the first Stanton arrived in 1635 and moved through Virginia to New England.
  • See how family members served as interpreters and participants in key colonial events, such as the Pequoit War.
  • Explore expanded genealogical charts and biographical notes that connect generations to places like Hartford and New London.
  • Understand how historical records were preserved, lost, or corrected to build a fuller family history.

Ideal for readers interested in American genealogy, local history, and the Stanton family lineage.
