The updating of the numbering system used on this page has been completed. Generation 28 is my own;
27 is that of my parents; 29 is that of my children, etc.  --   John M. Gwin, Aug 2009

Disclaimer: Today, 12 Mar 2000, I've gotten what may be the first real breakthrough for me in this line. I'd posted on GenForum that Cousin George Stanley, formerly of near East Bank, WV, had told Cousin John Robert Corey he THOUGHT that the father of my great-grandpa George Washington Stanley was named Isaac. This week I've corresponded with Mrs. Terry Henderson (Indywm9284@aol.com) who sent much of the following information. While neither Terry nor I is completely sure we're on the right track, things seem to be shaping positively in that direction, and I share her data here to provide another place from which to research. Thank you, Terry!

Terry just sent this obit:

There was also an obituary on that same page for George W. Stanley, 83,
died Friday (this notice appeared in the Charleston Daily Mail November
26, 1927); Mr. Stanley and his wife celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary eight years ago. He was born at Camp Piatte near Malden in
1844. Mr. Stanley is survived by the widow and three daughters, Miss Maude
Stanley of Campbell's Creek, Mrs. Thomas Grafton and Mrs. McDonald
Keeney of Charleston and one son George of Teays. He also leaves
seventeen grandchildren, three great grandchildren, and one sister, Mrs.
Mary Jane Russell of St. Louis, MO.


And now, 31 Mar 2000, I've received 45 pages of data from cousin Dan Buckley (dbuck19060@aol.com) of Everett, WA, which aligns itself with almost all of Terry's records and adds many more relatives, from generation 1, Thomas Stanley, first in the line to live in America, often to generation 11. Thank you, Dan!   I haven't put any of it on this page yet, but hopefully this summer I'll get to it! (see note below).  AND NOW I HAVE.  If you haven't been to it yet, head on over to Thomas Stanley's pageJMG--May 2002

NUNNERY:  Eunice was always considered Eunice Martin until the offical record was discovered during a search of the records at Charleston,WV. The offical record reads as follows: "Eunice Stanley died June 18, 1881 of consumption. Her parents were James K. and Susan Nunnery. Death reported by George Martin, Step Father". It appears Susan had married George Martin by the time Eunice was two years old. George Martin and Susan Nunnery were married Apr 13, 1850.  The Kanawha Co. census of 1860 shows Benjamin Nunnery, age 10, living with George Martin as a bound boy. Why he was shown on the census as a bound boy is not clear.  Apparently Benjamin was the son of George Martin and Susan Buckle. He would have been a half brother to Eunice.]

Hello John,
Good to hear from you again. Since we last communicated I have found my grandfather.  We are indeed cousins!
I found information from the census, which I subscribe to through Ancestry.com. 7.1--
I descend from Page George Stanley, brother of your Isaac.   Here is how it goes:

Page George Stanley b. abt. 1800; d. after 1880 (appeared on 1880 Kanawha
census); m. Elizabeth Martin Feb. 13, 1823 in Kanawha Co.; 10 children were born to this couple; one, James A. Stanley b. abt. 1842 d. aft. 1880, married Mary W. Clark Dec. 14, 1865 in Kanawha Co.

Their children, listed on the 1880 Kanawha census were:
Albert M. Stanley, Hubbard W. Stanley, Quincy D. Stanley, and Nancy E. Stanley

Hubbard W. Stanley. b. April 10, 1870 Kanawha Co. d. July 9, 1950 ( buried Red
Warrior Cemetery); married: Jennie Maxwell, between 1890-1893 in Kanawha Co. She was born March 17, 1867 in Pa or OH; d. November 3, 1944 in Kanawha Co (buried Red Warrior
Cemetery).
Hubbard and Jennie appear on the census for Kanawha Co, Cabin Creek district,
East Bank town in 1900 and 1910. Jennie appears alone with two children in
1920.
As far as I have been able to determine their children were:
Hubert M. Stanley b. Nov 1892
Virgie Lee Stanley b. July 1894
Clara Mae Stanley b. Jan 1898
Elroy Stanley b . abt. 1904
Clinton Stanley b. abt. 1907 (appears on 1920 Kanawha census age 12 )

Clinton is my grandfather. He is shown on the 1920 census for East Bank town.
My father was born in East Bank. I am waiting now for Ancestry to finish the
1930 census to see if I can find them.

Have not yet checked out your updates, but I will later today.

Sincerely,
Terry Henderson

[John M. Gwin NOTE:  Dan has GWS married twice as follows:   m1. 26 Dec 1865 to Margaret J. Estep; m2. after 1865 to
Fanny Young.  From his obituary and oral history of their grandchildren, I know that GWS and Fannie Young were married 58 years, so if he were married twice, then he and MJE would've not been married very long.  I had never heard of the first wife until May 2002, but just after I read Dan's note, I asked my mother, Dot Gwin (27.03 below), if Grandpa Stanley had been married before he married Grandma Stanley, and she said yes, she'd heard that her life, but she couldn't remember the first wife's name; according to his obituary that Terry sent me, GW and Fanny had 17 grandkids when he died in 1927; Mamie and Mack had 7, and since Maude and George had none, Harry and Mabel must've had ten between them; indeed, Mother (Dot Gwin) told me Mabel had six children and Harry had four.

They were living in Russell Co., Virginia, in 1787, prior to moving to East Tennessee.

Their children are:

Harrison 1814-1886
Jeremiah 1804-1885
Sarah Jane 1794/95-after 1830's
Page 1801-1878
Minery/minyard 1803-before 1895
Ramey 1811-1868
Wright Lemuel 1806/07-before 1865
Jane 1809/10-1870's
These two were also mentioned as possible children:
Namoney 1798-99-?
David 1790's-?

Subject: your Stanley family

Sorry to have been so long on this - been away from the computer working, etc.

Anyway, your great granfather George Washington Stanley son of Isaac Stanley who is the son of Harris Standley (the way he signed his marriage record) and Rachel Martin.

They were married in Bedford Co. VA.

I don't believe Sam and Reuben were their children nor Cariston - everyone else matches my records.

I really cannot connect Harris to the other Stanley families in Bedford Co. VA at the time - really wish I could for all of us.

Rachel is the daughter of Job Martin (he was in the Rev. War) and Elizabeth Huddleston.  Job had a sister Rachel who married a Huddleston in Bucks Co. PA and they all moved together to Bedford Co. VA - the information on Job's father is sketchy at best. Elizabeth Huddleston is from a long line of Huddleston's from Bucks Co. PA and her line is well documented if you have access to Rootsweb.com.

The irony of the name Harris Stanley is that there was another nearly the same age that has caused a lot of mixed information - also that both men named their first born son Page Stanley.  Yours went from Bedford Co. VA with the Martin/Huddleston clans into Kanawha Co. VA(WV) and is pretty well documented there.

Hope this helps.  Best wishes for success in finding more family members.

Sincerely,
Rose Mary S. Rudy

(I am descended from Elizabeth "Betsey" Stanley dau. of Harris/Rachel of Kanawha Co. WV.)




 

     George Stanley says your great-great-great-grandfather Isaac Stanley from George's Creek was married to a Wince; what do you have on the Stanley/Wince lineage?  I'm going to search eventually to see what mom and her sister's Elizabeth and Eugenia used for their DAR membership, unless you already have that information.
