1796 Simon Cockrell vs. John Duncan--O. S. 35; N. S. 12--Bill filed 18th May, 1796. In 1770 William Herbert made a settlement upon waste and unappropriated land on Cubb Creek in Washington County, and occupied it until 1776, when his overseer was killed by the Indians, when Rawley Duncan took possession. Herbert died testate in 1776, which was proved on 3d September, 1776, in Fincastle County, leaving William Herbert as his heir at law, from whom orator purchased. Rawley Duncan obtained a certificate of settlement in 1773. Rawley Duncan died intestate, leaving John Duncan his only son and heir. Townshend Duncan is now in possession. Benjamin Nicholson deposes in Clarke County, Ky., 16th May, 1798, that in 1775 he knew Rawley Duncan to purchase the tract from James Nalle. Peter Hutchinson deposes in Russel (?) County, 30th June, 1798, that about June, 1775, he was frequently in company with Robert Elson, who told him that the land he lived on was Harbard's and that he and some of his relations that lived at the same place were employed to keep stock. In the same year he heard a dispute between Rawley Duncan and John Duncan's widow about the plantation at the ford of Clinch, where they both lived at that time, and understood that Rawley and his brother John were to go halves in the plantation. William Crunk deposes he lived with the Duncans in the same settlement. John Fugate (Fugitt) deposed 30th June, 1798, that James McCarthy told him he sold the land to Richard Stanton, and Stauntom had sold to Harbard.

THOMAS STANTON born ? VA

Thomas Stanton served in Capt. Robert Beall's Company of the 13 Regiment which was commanded by Col William

Russell.

1782 Nov. 23,: Petition from Sundry Freeholders & other Inhabitants of Bedford County residing on the South side of Stanton River......find it extremely inconvenient attending their publick business due to bad roads and remote situation from the Court House...... pray for a division of the county to form a new county..... [Franklin was created by legislative act Oct. 1785]

Thomas Stanton's name appears as one of 200+ men in agreement. It's not at all clear that they actually signed their own names to the petition, but we can be more certain the sheriff or whoever it was in charge of getting names had made the list from those who agreed.

1787 Thomas Stanton and Richard Stanton appear on Franklin Co. VA Personal Property Tax List for 1787, District A; and Thomas had 4 horses, 6 cattle; Richard had 1 horse, 3 cattle.

JOHN STANTON born ? VA

1785 Oct. 27,Petition from sundry Freeholders, inhabitants of Henry County.... in favor of splitting Bedford to form a new county and adding part of Henry to it... John Stanton, John Stanton Jr., Richard Stanton, Charles Matlock 's names appear on the list of those in favor. Note that Henry County was formed from Pittsylvania in 1776, so maybe that's where these Stanton's had lived before or after 1776? [Franklin was created by legislative act Oct. 1785]

NOTE: Some how the Stanton family, and Simon Thomasson who was mentioned in 1762 is connected with the Brooks of Franklin Co GA, Chatham Co NC and Pendleton Co SC.

at the site in Madison Co.] Witnesses were George Hume, Frances Hume and [son] Linn Banks. (Culpeper County, Virginia Deeds, Vol 3, 1762-1765 [Books D-E], J. F. Dorman, 1979, quoting Book D, p 30-33)

In 1812 we find in Franklin County, Ga., a record that shows that "James Brooks of Franklin County, Ga." appointed James Martin his attorney to "recover and receive from William Stanton of SC & County of Pendleton, (to wit) four Negro slaves named as follows, Bill, Jacob, Frank and George, children of a certain Negro woman Slave called Dina given by Simon Thomasson dec'd, when a child to his daughter Margaret Thomasson, whom the said James Brooks afterwards married, which said Negroes I claim as my just rights to me and my heirs forever." that right was held from him by William Stanton. Thomas Stanton was named Ex. of the will of Simon Thomasson in Chatham County, NC. The fact that he does not say he claims the Negroes as the right of his wife, Margaret, is more evidence that she is dead, and that he was claiming the Negroes for himself and his heirs. This record was dated Jan. 13,

1812.

We have information that In 1810 William Stanton brother of Thomas was in Edgefield Co SC 1810 and then in Richmond and Columbia Co GA with William was his son Henry as well as Joseph had been in the Richmond Co GA area for both sons had married there: Joseph B Stanton Married Lucy T. Howell on 01 Mar 1810 in Richmond County GA

NOTE: Sarah M Stanton was the widow of Benjamin Stanton.. Some how Benjamin ties into this Stanton family, but am not sure how.
