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.

Surname Saturday ~ Edenden of Cranbrook, England and Massachusetts

EDENDEN

There is an account of the Edenden family in an old issue of the New England Historic Genealogical Society Register, that starts with the lineage in about the year 1500 in Cranbrook, Kent, England.  William Iddenden, the son of Stephen, married a woman named Joane, and had eight children.  Several of these children died of the plague in 1597.

In the next generation, William’s son, James died of the plague in 1597, too, but left a detailed will naming most of the family members.  His brother, George, my ancestor, married first to a cousin, Sara Iddenden, and their three daughters also died of the plague in 1597.  It is unknown how Sara died, but she was probably a plague victim, too.  He remarried and had nine more children, one of which is my 9^th great grandfather, Edmond Edenden.

Edmond Edenden was baptized in Cranbrook in 1599.  He came to Massachusetts around 1637, when he was a proprietor at Scituate.  He became a Freeman in 1641.  In 1642 he was a representative to the General Court.  At some point he removed to Boston.  He had two children by his first wife, Elizabeth Wller, and six children by his second wife, Elizabeth Wightman/Whiteman/Whitman.  It is not known when or where Edmond Edenden died in Massachusetts.

My 8^th great grandmother is Edmond’s daughter, Sarah, who married Thomas Rand in 1656 in Charlestown, Massachusetts.  This Edenden line daughters out very quickly in Massachusetts, but seems to have had an interesting history in Cranbrook, England.  Except for the plague!

Much of this information was taken from the article “Genealogical Research in England”,  NEHGS Register, January 1913, Volume 67, page 43 and from the book History of Scituate, Massachusetts by Samuel Deane, 1831.
