In Our last post we looked at the Shelton family, from which Luella Ault Jones mother Anna Shelton was born. Anna was the daughter of Alvin Shelton and Amelia Stanley. Today we will take a quick look at the Stanley family. In our next post we will finish looking at the Stanley’s, and complete our series with a look at the Bowlby family and the Ault family.
Amelia Stanley was born in Duchess County in 1837, to George Stanley (1816 Connecticut) and Amanda Van Houten (1819 Chemung county), George was a shoe maker, born in Connecticut in 1816, son of Starr Stanley of Connecticut (12/26/1784-4/13/1885) and Lois Hoyt (1789-1857)of Connecticut. The following obituary appears of the find a grave web site for Starr Stanley in Ithaca:
Baldwinsville NY Gazette Farmers Journal, April 16, 1885:
Ithaca, N. Y. April 14—Mr. Starr
Stanley, the oldest man in Ithaca, and probably in the county, died yesterday. Mr. Stanley was one hundred years old
on Christmas last, having been born December 25, 1784. A shoemaker by occupation he was noted for his uniform
good health, it being his proud boast that he never was sick and never knew an ache or pain.
Charles Starr Stanley married Lois Hoyt in Danbury, Fairfield Connecticut. Starr was a shoemaker. He and Lois had the following children; Loren Lawrence Stanley 91815-1873), George Stanley (1816-1891), Eli Stanley 91820-1872), Hoyt Stanley (1829-1915), Charles Stanley Jr. (1832-1890).
Starr, as he was generally known, moved his family to Hector Tompkins NY around 1838 (US Fed. Census). Starr set up a business in Trumansburg Tompkins NY making and selling boots and shoes. By 1850 Starr and Lois had separated. Starr remained in Tompkins County and Lois moved with her sons Hoyt and Charles to Tioga NY.
Around 1860 Charles Stanley with his wife and three children moved to Trumansburg to live with Starr and join him in the family shoe business. Charles took his place as the head of the household and Starr retired from active employment. At some time between 1865 and 1870 Starr married a second time to Elizabeth (unknown), (1825 in Canada-) This was a short lived marriage. In 1880 Elizabeth Stanley is living by herself, claiming to still be married. She remains in Ithaca NY. Starr is living with Joshua and Rosalie Shaw (1821) and family, claiming to be the Father-in-law of the head of household, though there is no record of Starr having had a daughter and Elizabeth is younger than Rosalie. There is no daughter recorded in the 1830 or 1840 census or in any subsequent census so this is a bit of a mystery. The Shaw Family History, an unsourced family tree available on Ancestry.com, indicates Starr and Lois were married in 1812 and lists the children of Starr and Lois as ; Rosetta (1786-?), Loren Lawrence (1815-1873), George (1816-1891), Eli (1817-1871), Rosetta (1821-1910), Elizabeth (1822-?), Hoyt (1829-?), and Charles (1832-1890). Starr died 4/13/1885 at the age of 100. He is buried in the grove Cemetery in Trumansburg NY.
Lois Stanley died around 1867. She had settled with her sons Hoyt and Charles in Catharine in 1854. Her grave is unknown at this time but believed to be in the town of Catharine, likely in the Coe or Catharine Cemetery. It is likely there was no stone provided for her.
Children of Charles Starr Stanley
Note: There are several families of Stanley’s around Schuyler, Chemung and Tompkins who all practiced the profession of boot and shoe manufacture and sales. It is probably they are all inter-related but the connection is unclear at this time. I am Focusing on the Starr Stanley family as this is the connection to Mary Jones, who was the original subject of this search. Information on this family comes from; The history of the town of Catherine, Schuyler County, N.Y., US and NY State census reports, and Find a grave. I have not include the daughters listed in the Shaw Family History as I was not able to verify them, other than to list Rosetta as mentioned in the 1880 US Census.
