• Notes

  Came from England and settled on Martha`s Vinyard before moving to Topsfield, MA. Came to Lynn, MA abt 1646, He was one of the first settlers of Topsfield, MA. On Sept. 11, 1649, he was tried for winning the affections of a daughter of John Tarbox without the consent of her parents. He was fined for this romantic mischief five pounds, two shillings, and sixpence. Her parents were allowed six shillings for three days attendance at court. He was probably related to Thomas Stanley, who settled in Saugus, near Lynn, and was deputy to the general court in 1635, removed to Hartford, Connecticut, and afterward to Hadley, Massachusetts. Thomas Stanley had a brother John who died on his way to New England, and a brother Timothy who settled in Cambridge and removed to Hartford.
