Notes for Mary~: NOTES FOR MARY 'STANLEY' "Field Genealogy" gives the wife of Zechariah Field as "Mary ___." "Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors and War Service", page 102, cites the "Compendium of American Genealogy," Vol III, page 661, that Zachariah Field married Mary, d/o Christopher Stanley, of Boston. Various ancestral files give Zechariah's wife as Mary Stanley, daughter of Christopher Stanley. She is sometimes shown to be the wife of Robert Field. The dates of her birth and death do not reconcile with Christopher Stanley. Therefore, Mary 'Stanley' is questionable as the wife of Zechariah. Based on proximity, it would seem more likely that a Mary 'Stanley' or 'Standley' would be connected to one of the Hartford, CT, Stanley brothers, John, Timothy or Thomas of Hartford and up the Connecticut River Valley, than with Christopher who was of Charlestown-Boston. But, there is also the connection to the Fields through Mary Phillips who would be a step sister to this Mary Stanley. Could she be the Mary who was sister of Christopher? Mary's dob is variously given as 1598 [LDS], c1624, etc. It it were 1598 then she could not be the d/o Christopher who was born 1603. If it was c1624, then she would have to have been born in England as Christopher and Susanna came to America in 1635 and a Mary was not listed with them as a passenger. The passenger list shows children of ages 1 through their upper teens, so why would it not contain Mary 'Stanley' age 9? The first child, Mary Field, was born 1643, so Zechariah's wife could easily be suspected of a dob of c1624. And 1624 would seem more likely than 1598. Mary 'Stanley' could be a confusion with Mary Phillips, the step daughter of Susanna Aspinwall Stanley Phillips. See the following entry under the latter's name heading. [] SUSANNA ASPINWALL & MARY PHILLIPS In view of the material posted here and the material posted in the Notes for William Aspinwall, it seems most likely that Christopher Stanley's wife was Susanna Aspinwall, sister of William Aspinall, who married secondly Lt William Phillips who predeceased her. It also seems to clarify one of the two Mary Stanley mysteries. The wife of Robert Field most likely was Mary Phillips, daughter of William Phillips and an earlier unidentified wife, and the step daughter of Susannah Aspinwall Stanley Phillips; rather than being Mary Stanley, daughter of Christopher and Susanna. The remaining Mary Stanley issue concerns Mary, wife of Zechariah Field who is sometimes shown as the daughter of Christopher and Susanna, but, does not seem to 'fit' in that family. Is it possible that Mary, wife of Zechariah was simply confused with Mary Phillips, wife of Robert Field? ---RCM [] |
