  • Notes: 

  • Lydia Stanford may be the daughter of Robert Stanford, Sr. Robert married first Mary (Howland) Williamson, a daughter of Arthur Howland. He married second Rebecca (Bartlett) Bradford, a descendant of Richard Warren of the Mayflower.

    Although no evidence has been found to prove Lydia Stanford's parentage, she is probably the daughter of Robert Stanford Sr. and one of his two wives, Mary (Howland) Williamson or Rebecca (Bartlett) Bradford.
