Daniel Standlake, my 10th 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 9th
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 8th great grandmother, who married John Mendall, a Quaker, and
had three children. Her only daughter,
Joanna Mendall, my 7th great grandmother, married William Green (my
ancestor) and Daniel Butler.
