Surname Saturday ~ STANDLAKE of Scituate, Massachusetts

STANDLAKE / STANLEY / STANDLACK / STANDLICK
(all these spellings are found in the Scituate, Massachusetts vital records)

Daniel Standlake, my 10^th great grandfather, and his wife Jane, was of unknown origins, and it is unknown when he arrived in New England from England.  He was make a freeman in Scituate, Massachusetts in 1636.  The History of Scituate, page 50, states that he “settled amongst the men of Kent, on Kent Street, the 3d. lot south of the ‘drift way’".   He had three children, and he died in May 1638 shortly after arriving here.  He left a wife and three children,  the youngest died the following year recorded in the vital records as “the youngest child, a daughter, of “Goody Standley” was buried 19 April 1639”. 

The oldest child, Richard Standlake, is my 9^th great grandfather.  He had five children by an unknown wife.  He remarried to a woman known only as “Lydia”, the widow of Jeremiah Barstow.  His only son died young “killed by the discharge of a gun by Robert Trayes, a Negro tried and acquitted it appearing to be accidental".   Richard’s will mentions his four daughters and his wife Lydia. The History of Scituate records that Richard’s house “was on the west side of Walnut Tree Hill, near that of Cornet John Buck”.  There is an abstract of his will in the Mayflower Descendant, Volume 31 [1933], page 62 “Abstracts of Plymouth County Probate Records”.

I descend from Richard’s eldest daughter, Joanna Standlake, my 8^th great grandmother, who married John Mendall, a Quaker, and had three children.  Her only daughter, Joanna Mendall, my 7^th great grandmother, married William Green (my ancestor) and Daniel Butler.
