Individual Notes
• In The Visitation of Warwickshire, 1619 (Publications of the Harleian Society, vol. 12, page 277), the pedigree of the Stanton family of Longbridge, Warwickshire, England, is given on which the claim has been based that Thomas Stanton of Stonington, Conn., was a son of Thomas and Katherine (Washington) Stanton of Wolverton, Warwickshire. According to this pedigree, they had a son Thomas, who was in his third year in 1619, and a daughter Alice, born in August, 1619 (aged 6 days, Sept. 3, 1619). [This is shown in Chesebrough Genealogy, page 535.]
This Thomas Stanton, Jr. has quite generally been accepted as identical with the Stonington settler and also with the Thomas Stanton, aged 20, whose name appears in a list of Passengers for Virginia, 1635. (NEHGR, vol. 2, p. 113.) This theory has been questioned and defended. Conclusive evidence, either in its favor or in opposition to it, has heretofore been lacking.
From Burke's statements and from the records of Oxford University, it is evident that Thomas Stanton, son of Thomas and Katherine (Washington) Stanton, remained in England; that he entered Oxford, aged 17 years, in 1634; that he married Elizabeth Cookes and had a son Thomas, who was 17 in 1664, when he was admitted to Oxford. These details make it necessary to abandon the theory that the Stonington, Conn., settler was a son of Thomas and Katherine (Washington) Stanton.2897
• Thomas Stanton, Sr., b. about 1616 in England, sailed in 1635 in the ship Bonaventure and landed in Virginia. He soon went to Boston, New England, and was the first man who joined William Chesebrough in his settlement of Stonington, Conn.
He m. in Hartford, Conn., Ann Lord (dau. of Thomas and Dorothy Lord).2353, pp 535-6
• The first man who joined Mr. Chesebrough in the new plantation was Thomas Stanton, the famous Indian interpretor, who in 1650 built a trading-house on the west side of Pawcatuck River, though he did not remove his family thither until 1657.2353, p 12
• Noted Indian interpreter and trader, commissioner of courts, magistrate and member of the general assembly.2896, p 190
