    • findagrave.com Memorial # 7930907 created by Shirley Stanton
      Thomas Stanton born 1615 in Nottinghamshire, England He died Dec. 2, 1677, at Pawcatuck, New London, CT -- He sailed from London on Jan. 2, 1635, landing first in Virginia and proceeding to Boston. In 1637, he settled in Hartford as a founder, where he latter married Anna Lord. He was Interpretor General for the Colonies and established a trading post in Pawcatuck about 1650. The Founder's Monument in the cemetery states: "He was Marshall of the Colony, County Commissioner, member of the General Court and one of the founders of the First Church in Stonington. A man of widespread and lasting importance to the colonies, and identified with nearly every transaction between the natives and the colonists up to the year of his death." As the progenitor of a long Stanton line,he and Anna had 10 children.
      The current gravestone at the burial site was erected by the Thomas Stanton Society in 1995. I was there for the fine ceremony and wish I had a photo of the original stone to add here.
      I have chosen not to link the findagrave entry proporting to be his parents as there is a body of evidence refuting that association as well as doubt as to where they may be buried. 2014: That memorial has been removed by findagrave. I also mention Memorial #66699554, Joseph, Jr. has no gravesite as well as that of Samuel, d. 1732."

      "Thomas Stanton (1616?-1677) was a trader and an accomplished Indian interpreter and negotiator in the colony of Connecticut. One of the original settlers of Hartford,[2] he was also one of four founders of Stonington, Connecticut, along with William Chesebrough, Thomas Miner, and Walter Palmer.
      He first appears in the historical record as an interpreter for John Winthrop, Jr. in 1636. He fought in the Pequot War, nearly losing his life in the Fairfield Swamp Fight in 1637. In 1638 he was a delegate at the Treaty of Hartford, which ended that war. In 1643, the United Colonies of New England appointed Stanton as Indian Interpreter.
      Following the war, Stanton returned to Hartford, where he married and became a successful trader. In 1649, Stanton settled a tract of land alongside the Pawcatuck River in what is present-day Stonington. In 1649 or 1650 he was given permission to establish a trading post on the river and was granted a 3 year monopoly over Indian trade in the area. The trading house was built in 1651. During this time, Stanton's family remained in Hartford or New London, joining him in Stonington in about 1657 after the trading venture had become established and a suitable house constructed.
      Stanton's first house in Stonington was demolished in the 19th century and today the site is marked by a large inscribed stone. A subsequent dwelling, built beginning about 1670, is the oldest house still standing in Stonington and is now preserved as the Stanton-Davis Homestead Museum.

      "1650 - The General Court appointed Thomas STANTON "interpreter to the elders," who required him to preach the gospel to the Indians at least twice a year.
      1650 - Thomas STANTON, being licensed by the General Court, established a trading house in Stonington, at the Rock on the west bank of the Pawcatuck River, and was granted a house lot of 6 acres in New London, which he never occupied, his family remaining in Hartford.
      William CHESEBROUGH was already there; and they were the first two settlers in the town called Pawcatuck, Southerton, Mystic, etc. until it became finally and permanently the town of Stonington, Connecticut. Mr. STANTON's wife and children resided in New London after 1650, until their residence was permanently fixed on the Pawcatuck. His trading house prospered; he became a very extensive landholder. As he was endowed with very superior mental qualities, was well educated and had great force of character, he became naturally a chief personage in that part of the colony. - Baldwin, John D., THOMAS STANTON of STONINGTON, CONN. (1882), pp.5-6.
      1653 - Thomas STANTON, in 1653, was appointed with Rev. Mr. PIERSON, of New Haven, to prepare a catechism in the Narragansett or Pequot language for the commissioners of the United Colonies, but Mr. PIERSON's removal prevented PIERSON's participation. STANTON completed the job, and the Catechism was printed in 1658. The only known copy with the original title-page is in the New York Public Library. - Lord, Kenneth, GENEALOGY of the DESCENDANTS of THOMAS LORD (1946), pp.55-60. 1658 - In 1658, Thomas STANTON removed to Wequetequock Cove, two miles and a half east of Stonington, Connecticut where he was the third settler; it was then called Southington, Massachusetts, and part of Suffolk county. His farm was on the east side of the Pawkatuck river, near its mouth.

      1658 - Thomas STANTON was appointed by the General Court as "one of the persons to order the prudential affairs of the town," and after the annexation of Southertown to Connecticut was made Commissioner to try civil and criminal cases, and continued in office until 1677.

      1658 - On 10 May 1658, Massachusetts forwarded the second petition of the Stonington Settlers to the Commissioners of the United Colonies, with the suggestion to the Pawcatuck people that they order their affairs by common consent.
      On 30 June 1658 the Stonington settlers drew up a sort of dry-land Mayflower Compact or Declaration of Independence, "The Association of the Poquatuck People." The pact was signed by George DENISON, Thomas SHAW, Nathaniel CHESEBROUGH, Elihu PALMER, Thomas STANTON, Elisha CHESEBROUGH, Moses PALMER, Walter PALMER, Tho. STANTON, William CHESEBROUGH, and Samuel CHESEBROUGH."
      Stanton and his wife Anna are buried in Stonington at the Wequetequock Cemetery.
