HUSBAND NOTES:
Thomas Stanton was from Stonington and was a Deputy and Indian interpreter. He came over from England in January of 1635 to Virginia. In the fall of 1635 he then moved to Boston, Massachusetts to join the Puritan Congregation in Newtown. Sixty members of the congregation moved to Newtown, Connecticut and in 1637 they renamed the settlement Hartford. He was an original proprietor of Hartford. He lived in Hartford for many years and all 9 of his children were born there. He learned the language of the Indians and was a prime interpreter. His first use of this was in 1637 when Stoughton in his advise of August on the first expedition mentioned his service. He moved about 1650 to Stonington with his wife Ann. They lived on the Pawcatuck River. The will of Thomas Stanton was probated in Jun 1688. This Thomas Stanton is not the son of Thomas Stanton and Katherine Washington. Their son, Thomas, remained in England and entered Oxford in 1634, married Elizabeth Cookes, and had a son Thomas who was 17 in 1664. This is verified in A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britian and Ireland by John Burke, and American Genealogist, Volume XIV in an article by Clarence Almon Torrey named the Stanton-Washington Ancestry that cites the above book and agrees with their findings.
