Notes for James Stanclift:
According to the website of the Connecticut Gravestone Network, the gravestones carved by James Stanclift:

sometimes cannot yet be distinguished from some of the work of his eldest son William. For the most part they are distinguishable by the tented line he placed at the top of his letter "A." He carved in large capital letters on stones that usually have evenly rounded tops rather than the lateral "shoulders" that were so characteristic on most New England gravestones. [James'] earliest dated stone is for Renold Marvin in the Duck River burying ground (Old Lyme) and is backdated to 1676. The stone for Rebecca Minor (1701) in Wequetequock (Stonington) is the farthest east in Connecticut any of his stones have been discovered.
