A record, genealogical, biographical, statistical, of Thomas Stanton, of his descendants: 1635-1891

For years it has been my desire to see published a history and genealogy of the descendants of Thomas Stanton of Connecticut. In 1883 An Incomplete Eecord was printed for private distribution by Hon. John D. Baldwin of Worcester, Mass. In his preface Mr. Baldwin expressed a hope that some one would enlarge his collection of notes, and publish it for circulation. Eealizing that each passing year made it more and more diflB- cult to secure old family records, and to trace the posterity of those born before the Eevolutionary War, I was led to undertake this work in 1885. Since then I have devoted to it all the time that could possibly be spared from a busy pastors life. The work is not complete, it could be continued through a long lifetime, passed on to a succeeding generation, and then be incomplete. There are Stantons among the earlier generations of whom nothing more will ever be known than that they were born at a given time. Others, of whom nothing is now known save name and birth-date, will undoubtedly be traced through generations now unrecorded, and found to be ancestors of numerous but at present unlocated families. For those of the tribe of the house of Thomas Stanton, who have aided me in this work, cheerfully furnished the required facts, and in every way tried to make the work a success, I have the warmest feelings of gratitude and the heartiest words of thanks.
