  • Notes: 

  • Sources disagree on the parentage of Amos Stanton with some sources stating he is the son of Samuel and Rebecca Stanton baptized at Stonington, Connecticut 17 JUN 1739, and others the son of Joseph and Abigail Stanton born at Canterbury, Connecticut 12 MAR 1742. Evidence is needed to determine if either of these claims is correct.
