Descendants of Sands STANLEY

Generation No. 1

1. SANDS⁴ STANLEY (SANDS³, JONATHAN² STANDLEY, GEORGE¹) was born Abt. 1742 in North Carolina, and died November 19, 1799 in Darlington County, South Carolina. He married ZILPHA EDWARDS Abt. 1759 in North Carolina. She was born Abt. 1740 in Jones County, North Carolina, and died March 31, 1808 in Darlington County, South Carolina.

Notes for SANDS STANLEY:

From "Sands Stanley of the Pee Dee Valley", Haywood A. Stanley (1978):

SANDS STANDLEY -- Born before 1742. About 1759 he married Zilpha Edwards. We believe Zilpha was born about the same time in the general vicinity of Jones County in eastern North Carolina. Sands died Nov. 19, 1799; Zilpha died Mar. 31, 1808.

The name Zilpha occurs four times in Sands' will in 1796. In DAR application National #486112, it is spelled Zilphah. Sands' son, Thomas, in his will in 1813, spelled it Zilpha. Most historians seem to favor Zilpha. The name Sands is occasionally spelled Sans, as in one of the records quoted in this book. The name Standley occurs in many early Darlington County records. About 1812 they began to drop the "d" and it soon became only Stanley. It was found both ways for about two generations.

In 1930, Sarah Amanda Stanley, a fourth generation of our Sands Stanley, told her nephew, James S. Stanley that "two brothers, Sands and Sims Stanley, came from Scotch-Irish and settled on the coast of North Carolina, near the Virginia line." An inquiry to authorities at Windsor, County seat of Bertie County, NC, on the coast 20 miles from the Virginia border failed to produce any definite information.

Records show that Zilpha Edwards had sisters: Winnifred Edwards; Nancy Shephard, Pitt Cty., NC; Molly Hill, Lenoir- Cty., NC; Elizabeth, m Blaney Harper, Greene Cty, NC; Polly, m William Murphy, Washington, NC; and Sally, m John Heath, Washington, NC. Also brothers: William, Cullen, Henry, Theophilus and Thomas Edwards; in that area.

Public records of Dobbs (now Craven) County, NC were destroyed by fire. However, we know Sands Stanley was in Dobbs Cty., 1769-1783, before moving to Darlington, SC.

Many Stanleys of Virginia and North Carolina were of the Friends Faith (Quakers). Many records of Quakers are available, but an extended search of these records failed to associate Sands or Sims Stanley with the Virginia or North Carolina Quakers.

In Revolutionary Accounts of Cancelled Vouchers filed at N. C. Department of Archives and History, Raleigh, North Carolina:

"New Bern District - No. 218

This may certify that SANDS STANLEY of Dobbs County was allowed the sum of four thousand and thirty-nine pounds for sundries as (food and other supplies). Voucher rendered and filed April 178_"

"New Bern District - No. 869

This may certify that SANDS STANLEY is allowed the sum of twenty-six pounds for a horse and saddle. -Dated March 27, 1783 North Carolina."

Sands is listed in -the Daughters of American Revolution Index as follows:

"STANLEY, SANDS, born c I742, died after Feb. 26, 1796, married Zilpha Edwards - Patriotic Service - N. C.

Mary Allen Files McCormick, National No. 527611, used the two above vouchers in her application for DAR membership that was approved Sep. 11, 1967. Mrs. McCormick was a direct descendant of Sands Stanley through his daughter, Sarah (S-C), Mrs. William Witherington.

Here is what I have in computer so far. I'm still weeding through. I still have to organize this data better. Some things are in twice. I have not taken anything from your site as yet. The three of us working on this, Tenny, Russ Henderson, and me are not certain that the Shadrack (son of Sands) is the one who came to Fl. Things point to it being his son Shadrack and other things point to it being him (as the 1830 census). We know that Shadrack was in the Patriot War for sure. The Shadrack born abt. 1761 would have been rather old for this and if indeed he did marry Rebecca Grubbs, one Shadrack was in Fl. at that time. Thanks for you help, Elaine

Shadrack Standley, having moved to Darlington, S.C. before Aug. 12, 1783, was issued the following land grants. Total grants 540 acres.

(1) Sep. 20, 1784...200 acres on Swift Creek. Bk. No. 1, page 96..Surveyed Oct. 28, & recorded Nov. 22, 1784.

(2) Jan. 25, 1787...230 acres on Indian Branch, Bk. No. 2, page 13, Surveyed Feb. 21, & recorded May 21, 1787

(3) Oct. 2, 1794...110 acres on east side of Indian Creek, Surveyed Oct. 3, 1794, recorded___?

Shadrack Standley, oldest son of Sands Standley, served under General Francis Marion (the swamp fox) in 1782 as a private for 30 days and claimed compensation for this service on Aug. 12, 1783. He would have been about 21 years of age at that time. (Sands Standley of the Pee Dee Valley, Haywood Standley) Also taken from original Rev. Audited Account of Shadrack Standley from the SC Archives.. order#7384..AA 7302. The 1790 Census S.C. showed that he had at that time 6 boys and two girls. (Haywood Stanley)

Shadrack is not listed in the 1800 SC Census.

After the close of the Rev. War, settlers began locating in Tattnall Co. territory, and especially along the Altamaha and Ohoopee Rivers. Most of all the early settlers were from S.C. The county government was said to have been carried on in the house of Zachariah Cox until 1807 when a courthouse was built on the west side of the Ohoopee River about 300 yds. from Sheppard's bridge. One of the builders of this first Tattnall Co. Courthouse is said to have been Shadrack Standley.

In the last decade of the eighteenth century, during their war against France, Britain and her ally Spain, preyed upon US shipping -- impressing seamen, capturing ships and confiscating cargo. The United States levied a claim against Spain for part of the damages suffered. If Spain were to cede the Spanish Territories of East and West Florida, this claim would be considered paid. If Spain did not cede the territories, and the United States were to somehow acquire the Floridas, the claim would not then be pursued.

In 1803, the United States purchased Louisiana from France. Not clearly defined was where the eastern boundary of Louisiana ended and where the western boundary of Florida began. The Spanish presence in the Floridas was limited to Mobile, Pensacola, St. Augustine and Fernandina. The remainder of the territory was home to roaming bands of Indians and land-hungry citizens of the southern U.S.

Without the approval of Congress, U. S. President James Madison and his Secretary of State James Monroe schemed to acquire West Florida by disputing where the eastern boundary of Louisiana was and annexing East Florida by settling the area and having the residents ask to become part of the United States. As an early result of this scheme hatched in early 1811, on 12 March 1812, a group of armed Georgians crossed the St. Marys River in East Florida and marched on Fernandina. The expectation was that Fernandina would be overrun, the United States would provide immediate support and the Georgian "Patriots" reinforced by federal troops would capture St. Augustine and thus be the revolutionary government of Florida. Other than federal gunships standing by off Amelia Island, no U.S. aid was forthcoming. Although months later, a contingent of US troops entered Florida to provide order, acceptance of the Patriots' declaration of independence from Spain and request for annexation by the United States was accepted by Congress.

On June 18th 1812, war with Great Britain was declared. Rumors of occupation of Florida by British troops offered another opportunity to invade and annex. Congress, dominated by the northern states, chose to attempt to acquire Canada instead. In January 1814, with Florida still a Spanish possession, Georgians came deep into the territory. On a prairie near King Payne's town, a fort was built and The District of Elotchaway of the Republic of East Florida was established. A message signed by the residents was sent to President Madison requesting that Elotchaway be accepted as a territory of the Union. This offer was not accepted.

On 24 December 1815, a peace treaty was signed with Britain. With ratification on 16 February 1816, the war was officially over. No longer was protecting Florida from foreign occupation a rationale for U.S. invasion. In 1817, Indian depredations provided excuse for Andrew Jackson to invade Florida. While occupying part of Florida, 1819 negotiations with Spain resulted in purchase for five million dollars of outstanding debt. Florida became a U.S. territory in 1821.

Shadrack Standley is recorded several times during this period: as a land owner along the St. Mary's River 1800-1821, as a defender of Fernandina, selling property in Tattnall County, Georgia in 1813, as a soldier on the Altamaha River in Georgia in 1814, and as a 1814 signer at Ft. Mitchell in Elotchoway.

On 30 October 1813 in Tattnall County, Georgia, Shadrack Standley, Sr. of Tattnall County to Shadrack Standley, Jr. of Tattnall County for one dollar sold 150 acres of land in Tattnall County bounded by Brunson's line, Big Watermelon Creek, Little Watermelon Creek and Shadrack Standley, Sr. Signed: Shadrick [sic] Standley. Witnesses: Burell G. Whittington and Stephen Matlock. Recorded 11 November 1911.

Shadrack's son Shadrack came to Fl. with the group of 101 men at Ft. Mitchell (note it is not known for sure at this time if it was Shadrack or his son Shadrack (EC) on the lake at Gainesville, Fl. The men were suppose to be given 500 acres of land and supplies for a year. Shadrack was a surveyor. After three months, the Indians killed their leader Harris. Spain objected and the men had to leave. The men went back to Ft. St. Mary's Ga. (McLelland) This was part of the Patriot War.

"The Republic of East Florida was established in 1811 in the vicinity of Fernandina, despite tacit disapproval by the Spanish, and a constitution was adopted on July 17, 1812. ... " (Roberts)

On Jan. 16, 1814, the Patriots stopped at Payne's old town in Alachua and two days later began the construction of a fort, which they named in honor of former Gov. Mitchell. (McLelland) It stood app. 100 miles south by southwest of Coleraine, Ga. Within seven miles of Fort Mitchell lay a large lake. The block house at Ft. Mitchell was built on a prairie which was seven or eight miles wide and twenty long. (Patrick)

After the Patriots had established themselves on the former Indian land, they assembled on Jan. 25, 1814, as a legislative body. Buckner Harris was confirmed as "Director", Francis R. Sanchez became president of the legislative council and James Dell was the "Colonel Commandant" of the military force. The assembled Patriots declared their community a continuation of the 1812 Rev. force and entitled their country "The District of Eloctchaway of the Republic of East Florida". (Patrick)

" ... On January 25, 1814, the Republic of East Florida was ceded to the United States at a convention held at Fort Mitchell, situated on Lake Bryant, Marion County, about 18 miles east of Ocala. The fort, named for Governor David B. Mitchell of Georgia, was a two-story blockhouse erected in January 1814 by Georgia militia Colonel Buckner Harris with 150 settlers to protect an American settlement in defiance of Spanish officialdom. ..." (Roberts) Lake Bryant is in the Ocala National Forest 16 miles ESE of modern-day Ocala and is crossed at the nornern end by SR40.

"The settlement collapsed after Harris was killed by Indians and the settlers returned to Georgia. The fort was burned shortly afterward by possibly the same Indians." (Roberts)

In the War of 1812, Shadrack Stanley was a private in Captain John R. Blackmon's Company, Tenth Battalion (Tattnall County), Second Brigade (General Samuel Byrne's), First Division, Georgia Militia. The last of his enlistments was for one month and twenty-two days from January tenth to March tenth, 1814, under command of Lieutenant Edmond Page Wester at stationed at Fort James on Milligan's Bluff Pain's Landing , on the Altamaha river , two miles above the mouth of Beard's Creek , for the protection of the frontier against Indian attack, the "frontier" being the Altamaha River. As a private, Shadrack's pay was 8 dollars per month.

In 1815 Shadrack was given 300 acres on the St. Mary's River in Fl by the King of Spain. When the English took over they tried to take Shadrack's land. He went to court and won his 300 acres, waste land and they had to give him the 500 acres promised him at Ft. Mitchell. (McLelland) East Fl. was attractive to Americans. Opportunist crossed the St. Mary's River boundary at will. Due to its proximity to Ga. and the Carolinas, the impact of settlers was felt initially in the area between the St. Mary's and St. Johns Rivers.

Shadrack Standley moved to the Territory of East Florida settling near the St. Mary's River. Governor Coppinger ordered G. J. F. Clarke to distribute lands to all who contributed to the defense of Fernandina in 1817. Shadrack Standley claimed title to 300 acres of land on the St. Mary's River bounded to the north by the river, to the east by Charles Love, and to the south and west by vacant lands. Survey made by George Clarke 10 December 1817 in conformity of the royal order of 29 March 1815. Shadrack Standley claimed to be in actually possession of the land and was at the time of the cession and that he was a citizen of the United States and a resident of East Florida. This Spanish grant was later confirmed by the board of commissioners reviewing land grants which had existed prior to January 1818. Confirmation was given December 20, 1824. In October 1828, Shadrack Standley also claimed 640 acres which he lived on and cultivated before and during 1818. He claimed he had occupied the land since 1800. He was then 21 years of age and head of a family with 3 or 4 negroes and a number of children. The claim was rejected as the deadline for filing had expired.

On 15 August 1815 in Tattnall County, Georgia, Shadrack Standley, Sr. of East Florida to Jesse and John Standley of East Florida for one dollar sold 480 acres of land in Tattnall County bounded by Stephen Matlock, P. Standley and the Altamaha River. Signed: Shadh Standley. Witnesses: Stephen Matlock and Ezekl Stafford. Recorded 9 November 1911. The deed was entered in probate on 14 March 1829. Recorded 9 March 1911.

On October 10, 1820 Shadrack Standley was a signer on a petition to the Governor from "The Inhabits of the St. Mary's-St. John's District for the "Organization of a Municipality"

On 15 June 1822 on the St. Johns River, Florida, Shadrack Standley signed a Memorial to Secretary of State regarding making Jacksonville a port of entry.

In 1825 in Alachua County, Florida, Shaderick Stanley [sic] signed a petition against the indian agent for allowing indians to roam.

On 10 February 1828, in Alachua County, Florida, Shadrack Standley was an administrator of the estate of William Standley, deceased.

The 1830 federal census of Alachua County, Florida near Courthouse/Santa Fe River lists Shadrack Standley as head of household of one free white male age 20-30, one free while male 70-80 years old and one free white female between 70-80 years old. On 25 December 1830, in Alachua County, Florida, Shadrack Standley signed a petition to the president to retain Governor Duval.

Florida lands owed him when the area was still under Spanish rule. Claim number 118 from claimant Shadrick Stanley [sic], was for 300 acres originally granted him on 20 October 1817 by (Spanish Governor - JRH)

Coppinger in accordance with authority granted in 29 March 1815 to those who had participated in the defense of Fernandina . The land on the St. Mary's River had been surveyed 10 December 1817 by G. J. F. Clarke (George J. F. Clarke, Surveyor General of Spanish Florida - JRH) and occupied by Shadrack from 1815 to 1824. The land was situated on the St. Mary's River, south of the river and bounded by Charles Love and vacant lands.

Instructions provided the Surveyor General, among other things, required that grants be laid out in rectangular parrallelograms, the narrower portion front rivers, creeks and roads, to be one-third the depth which was to

extend inland. If necessary to prevent empty spaces, he was to increase the frontage and correspondingly decrease the depth.

On 20 January 1829, the Commissioners of the Land Office in St. Augustine published its final report on the land claims of East Florida. Included was Shadrack Standley's claim for Florida lands owed him when the area was still

under Spanish rule. Claim number 13 of Abstract number 6 was Shadrack Standley's claim for 640 acres of land on the St. Mary's River. The Commissioners wrote: "This would have been a good claim had it been filed

sooner. It was presented here October 1828. The evidence is this: That claimant occupied the land on St. Mary's river in the year 1800, and continued there until the year 1821; that he was then 21 years of age, and

the head of a family consisting of a number of children and three or four negroes. The witnesses, J. D. Hart and John Warren, never heard of his claiming any land under the Spanish or British government." The time for

filing claims had expired 1 November 1827. (Other entries when speaking of heads of families refer to "wife" as well as children. I conclude that Shadrack was wifeless as some point during the dates mentioned in this claim

and others: 1800 & 1821 and 1815 & 1824 -JRH)

At the end of 1824, Alachua County was organized as a political unit of the new Territory of Florida. The Seminole inhabitants of the Alachua region had recently been ordered to a reservation, and land was available

there for white settlers. Early in 1826, a post office was established in the area called "Dell's P.O." It derived its name from the Dell brothers, who had first visited the Alachua region during the "Patriot War" (1812-1814) and had later returned to settle there. The Indians were living south of Alachua Co. in 1826, but there were continuing disturbances in the area. Hunger often drove the Seminoles outside the reservation for food. In 1828, the settlement near Dell's P.O. was officially made the Alachua County seat and named "Newnansville" in honor of a Patriot War hero, Daniel Newnan. Newnansville became the junction of several important trails through

frontier Florida, including the Bellamy Road, a cross-Florida route authorized by Congress in 1824 as the first federal road in the new territory. In 1832, when Columbia County was formed, it included Newnansville. Newnansville was returned to Alachua County when the Santa Fe River became the county line in 1835. During the Second Seminole War (1835-1842), hundreds of displaced refugee settlers were settled at settled at Newnansville and also at Fort Gilleland, a nearby military post built in 1836.

After the hostilities were concluded, Newnansville prospered as a commercial center for the expanding Middle Florida frontier. The chief products of the area were corn, cotton, and after the Civil War, citrus. Except for a few years between 1832 and 1839, Newnansville served as the Alachua County seat until 1854. In that year, the political center of the county was moved to the new railroad town of Gainesville. During the next three decades, Newnansville slowly declined in population and importance. The community was dealt a final blow in 1884, when the Savannah, Florida and Western Railroad bypassed it. A new town, Alachua, grew up near that

railroad. As the years passed, the residents of Newnansville moved there or elsewhere. By the 1970's only a few traces remained of the former community, most notable of which is the Newnansville Historic Cemetery.

According to the 1805 and 1806 Tax List for Montgomery Co Georgia, a Sands Stanley owned land and slaves in Tattnall Co and 18 slaves in Baldwin County.

From Joe Mack Walker: Sands died in 1828 and left a will which is on record. My ggg-grandfather, James Standley is listed in the 1830 census. A family story said that James had 2 brothers, David and George. They were listed in the 1830 census, but I have found no documentation of them being brothers. David B. & George W. Standley moved down into Holmes co. FL around 1850. James Standley died in 1846 and his son, James B. Standley, along with others moved to Trinity & Polk counties in TX in 1854. Cynthia Ann "Kitsy" Standley was a sister of James B. Standley. Not sure if any or all of the Standleys of Henry co. AL were related, but one thing for sure - they all signed their name Standley, with a "d". Sarah Moon was the 2nd wife of James B. Standley and she died giving birth to their 4th child, John M. Standley.
