sioner of the United States government, and is stated in the printed
list of 1835, to be 95 years old and of Niagara County.

He married Chloe Field, who died of Pleurisy in Greenfield, April
10, 1781, in her 38th year, about four months after the birth of her
youngest child. She was a twin daughter of Aaron Field of Bernard-
ston, whose father Ebenezer Field was slain Oct. 26, 1708, "by the
enemy a going to Deerfield, near ye Maddy Brook." (Gen. Register,
Vol. IX, p. 162.) He was the son of Samuel and grandson of Zach-
ariah Field, one of the first settlers of Hatfield.

Samuel Shattuck married Chloe Field, born Dec. 29, 1743. He
died Dec. 20, 1760. (See Deerfield, Mass. History, p. 158), Scituate,

SHERWOOD ANCESTRY
Descendants of Thomas Sherwood of Sherwood Forest
Thomas Sherwood, born in Sherwood Forest, Nottingham, Eng.,
1586. In 1630, he was living in London, as estabhshed by the record
of the baptism of his son Thomas, in the Parish of St. Michael's,
in that city. He sailed from Ipswich, April 21, 1634, in the ship
"Francis," John Cutting, Master, and landed in Boston, Mass.,
in June of the same year.

List of passengers on Ship "Francis:"
Thomas Sherwood, 48 yrs.
Mrs. Alice Sherwood, 47 yrs.
Anna Sherwood, 14 yrs.
Rose Sherwood, 11 yrs.
Thomas Sherwood, 10 yrs.
Rebecca Sherwood, 9 yrs.

He was accompanied by his wife Alice (nee Seabrook) and four
children: Ann, b. 1620; Rose, 1623; Thomas, 1624; Rebecca,
1625. They landed on Cape Cod and after several years in Massa-
chusetts, came to Weathersfield, Conn., j&nally 1648, settled in Fair-
field, where Thomas Sherwood bought land, 1650. In 1654, he was
Deputy to the General Court. A bill of sale of land to John Haw-
ley by Sherwood, appears on Stamford, Conn. Land Records. In
1650, he bought land at Barlow's Plain, Fairfield, Conn. He was a
pioneer of Rippowams, later called Stamford. In 1654, to 1663,
Thomas Sherwood is spoken of as Ancient Town Clerk of Stratford.
Thomas Sherwood and Thomas Fairchild, Sr., were appointed by
the General Court to draft men in 1654, for the proclaimed Narra-
gansett War. He was a Representative from Sgratford in 1645.
He served as a Deputy with Roger Ludlow, in the General Court,
1650. His wife Alice Seabrook was born 1583, and is said to have
married (second) Lieut. John Banks. She was the daughter of
Robert Seabrook, who came to America with the Sherwoods, settled
at Stratford, and died about 1650, aged 85. Thomas Sherwood

brought with him to Fairfield his 2nd. wife, Mary , by whom

he had six more children. His will is dated July 21, 1655, and proved
Oct. 26, 1655.

SMITH ANCESTRY

In the old records the name is spelled Smith, Smithe, Smeith and
Smyth. It is one of the very oldest surnames, giving precedence to
none, unless it be King.

There is no doubt that the ancestors were of English origin, and
the Matthew which I have designated as 1st came to America from
England, in 1637, and in direct descent there appear nine by that
name alone, the ninth dying unmarried.

Sir Henry Smith (son of Sir Hugh Smith, of Ashton, Somerset,
England) with his wife Elizabeth Gorges came to New England,
1630, as chaplain in charge of fleet with Governor Winthrop. (See
"Compendium of American Genealogy," Vol. Ill, page 683.)

Rev. Henry ^ Smith was born in England. Some say he was the
son of Robert Smith of London, while others claim he was the son
of Erasmus Smith, born about 1540, at Whitcock, died 1616;
married 1576, his second wife, Marjery (Cecil) Cave, widow of
Roger Cave, daughter of Wm. Cecil, Lord Burleigh, Lord High
Treasurer of Queen Elizabeth. He came to Watertown, Mass.,
removed to Wethersfield, Conn., and became the first settled pastor
of the church there in 1636. He married first in England, but we
know nothing about his wife. He married second, Dorothy,
who after his death, married John Russell, father of Rev. John
Russell, who succeeded Henry Smith as minister at Wethersfield.
They moved to Hadley, Mass., where she died in 1694. Henry
Smith was appointed by Governor Winthrop a member of the
General Court of Connecticut in 1636. He was a soldier in the Pe-
quot War, 1637. He died Aug. 9, 1648. (See "Bassett Preston
Ancestry," page 257.)

Matthew Smith, a cordwainer (a shoemaker), came from Sand-
wich, County of Kent, England, in 1637, with his wife Jane and
four children, and was said to have been admitted inhabitant of
Charlestown, Mass., the same year. His wife became a member
of the church October 22, 1639, and he in May, 1643. The names
of the children could not be ascertained. In 1658, he was a house-
holder, under the title of Good-man. The time of the death of
Matthew and Jane does not appear. ("The Planters of the Common-
wealth," by Banks, page 190 — Came in the Hercules, Matthew

tract of land of Rev. Stephen Hosmer, bearing date October 14,
1708, which was the beginning of the "Smith Homestead." Thomas,
in 1708 or 1709, enlisted to go on an expedition to Albany, N. Y.,
to make the quota of Connecticut, 350 men, required for the reduc-
tion of the French. Ninety of the number never returned, Thomas

STALLION ANCESTRY

Edward Stallion, died May 14, 1703. When this person made
his first appearance in the plantation, Mr. Bruen, the clerk, recorded
his name Stanley. It was soon altered to Stallion or Stallon. In
later times it has been identified with Sterling, which may have
been the true name.

Edward Stallion was at first a coasting trader, but later in life,
became a resident farmer in North Groton, (now Ledyard). His
children are only named incidentally, and the list obtained is prob-
ably incomplete. Deborah, wife of James Avery, Jr.; Sarah, wife
of John Edgecombe; and Margaret, wife of Pasco Foote, were his
daughters. His first wife, Margaret, died after 1680. He married
in 1685, Elizabeth, daughter of George Miller, by whom he had
two children, names not mentioned. In 1693, he married, a third
time. Christian, relict of Wm. Chapell, who survived him. He left
a son, Edward, probably one of the two children by the second wife,
who, in 1720, was of Preston, and left descendants there.

The last vessel built by Hugh Mould, that can be mentioned by
name, was the "Edward & Margaret," a sloop of 30 tons burden,
constructed by Edward Stallion, in 1681.

Edward Stallion before the Court, for sailing his Vessel from New
London to Norwich, on the Sabbath, fined 40 shillings.

The death of Edward Stallion, Sen., May 14, 1703, was caused by
drowning, which was the result of an accident caused by falling out
of his Canoe, at New London.

The houses of James Rogers and Edward Stallion, both built be-
fore 1660, were of stone. Stallion's was on the Town Street: after-
ward Edgecombe property. Edward Stallion among Early Planters

STANLEY ANCESTRY



The Stanleys rank amongst the
most ancient and influential fam-
nies in the Kingdom. They were of
consequence, half a century before
the Conquest.




292 Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors and War Service

The English Family. In the county of Stafford, in the heart of
England, there was in very ancient times an old Saxon manor, called
Stoneley, a name compounded of Stone, and Leah or Ley (modern
lea), meaning a stony meadow or field. There is still in that county
a considerable town name Stone, which very probably, like the
former, may bear a remembrance of the rugged surface of what is
now one of the chief mining districts of the island. At the time of
the conquest, the estate belonged to Saxon Sir Henry de Stoneley,
the place of his residence in that day supplying the surname of the
owner.

Among the Norman knights who accompanied William the
Bastard into England, in 1066, were Adam de Alditheley and his
two sons, Lydulph and Adam. These received, as did others of
William's associates, large possessions from the conquered lands as
a reward for their services. Lydulph, the elder son, had a son
Adam, and Adam, the younger, had a son William. These two young
Normans, Adam and William, both married wives of the Saxon
family De Stoneley.

Adam de Alditheley married Mabella, daughter of Sir Henry de
Stoneley, and received with her as her marriage portion the two
adjacent estates of Stoneley and Balterley. They were ancestors
of the noble family of Audley, so call by a shortening of their name
from Alditheley to Aldethley and Audley.

William de Alditheley married Joan, daughter of Thomas de
Stoneley, a kinsman of Sir Henry, and received with her as a dowry
the manor of Thalk, in the same county. Afterwards, he exchanged
this estate with his cousin Adam for Stoneley and half of Balterley,
and made Stoneley his family residence; and in honor of his lady,
and the great antiquiry of her family, of noble Saxon descent, who
flourished many years before the conquest, he assumed the surname
of Stanley, and became the recognized founder of the Stanley
family. This was in the reign of Henry I., A. D., 1100-1135.

We begin then, the genealogy with:

I
Sir William de (Alditheley) Stanley, who married Joan de Stoneley, and
had:

II
Sib William Stanley, who had : 3. John, died childless. 4. Adam.

IV

stags' heads, or, on a bend, az.
