Standley's from MO

Gail Layton — 5 Nov 2000 8:07:14 GMT

My mother was born Martha Standley. She came from a big family. Her mother died giving birth to her 8 child. All the children in the family were sent to an orphanage in Carthage, Missouri. My mother was adopted. I have been trying to see if I could locate some of her family. Her father's name was Harry Standley. Didn't know her mothers name.
I would really like some help. Not much to go on. My mother died in 1979.

Standley Family History

neecycc — 4 May 2008 12:30:53 GMT

I'm seeking any info on the Standley family history.I know a few things from what my grandfather and aunt told me, and
from the rasearch I've been doing.I could only trace the
Standley's as far back as the mid 1700's around Surry,North
Carolina.I've been told that when the Standley's came from
Ireland to America they were in hiding,but I don't know why
they were in hiding.My Aunt told me it was because of a religous conflict of our ancestor,Lord Standley.But I'm not
so sure of this story.Here's the information I know:
*James Standley is the father of Needham Standley:born 1822 in Henry,Alabama and died Dec.23,1864 in Finns Point,
New Jersey(I'm thinking he might have fought in the civil
war because of the date and place of his death.)His mother
is unknown.
*Needham married Elenor Hogan on Feb.18,1841 in Henry,
Alabama.They had eight children:Nancy Standley,Roxie Standley,Isham S. Standley,Kitty Ann Standley,Needham A.
Standley,Indiana Standley,Daniel Standley and my gg grand
father,Emmett Alexander Standley.
*Emmett Alexander Standley was born in 1848 in Henry,
Alabama and died in 1895 in Texas.Emmett married Margaret
Brent in 1870 in Trinity,Texas.They had nine children:
Sarah B. Standley,John A. Standley,Sally Standley,Walter B.
Standley,Needham A. Standley,Luther Standley,Lena Indiana
Standley,Will Standley,and my great grandfather Earnest
Benjamen Standley.

Matilda Standley Rogers - need assistance with birth record

kevinvap — 14 Sep 2007 5:13:15 GMT

Greetings all, I could use some genealogical research help.

Matilda Standley was the dau of Dr. William Standley and Matilda Ausmus. Her death certificate says she was born 16-Mar-1852 in Iowa. Additional sources (Sheridan Co KS History book, etc) indicate the birth county was Wapello County Iowa.

She's being considered to be added to a list of oldest living persons, but an additional reliable source is needed for her birth. The 1860 Federal census doesn't support the 1852 birth, and earlier records trump later records for reliable sources (thus I can't use 1870 or later census).

I thought it might be a long shot here, but maybe somebody knows where the "Wapello Co, IA" source came from. Maybe somebody found the family on an IA State Census in 1852 or 1854. Or maybe a church record or family bible. I'm also trying to contact descendants, but I thought I'd post here to see if someone can help.

Additional information:
She was married to my GGgrand-uncle, Jacob Colmore Rogers on 17-Mar-1871 in Gentry Co MO (no marriage record found). She died on 30-Aug-1962 in Sheridan Co KS.

She and her family have been mentioned before on this board (see posts by Dan Smith back in 2000).

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin Vap

Oklahoma Entertainer Dies at 79

Johnny Standley, an Oklahoman musician and
comedian who told his fans "It's in the Book,"
died Wednesday in Los Angeles after suffering
complications from pneumonia. He was 79.

In the late 1950's, Standley sold more than
1 million copies of his record, "It's in the
Book," a song that included imitations of a
country preacher.

The recording was a live performance of Standley
accompanied by Horace Heidt and his Musical
Knights.

Standley, formerly of Oklahoma City, began his
career touring with his family, his sister,
Martha Knott said.

He also toured with Red Skelton during World
War II, Knott said. Services for Standley were
held Friday in Los Angeles.

correction on Robert Standley

BarbaraHarper524 — 15 Feb 2005 7:26:43 GMT

Robert Standley was born in 1827or1828, not 1818. I found 2 submissions on a web site that said Robert and his wife, Kitty Ebaline's mothers were sisters. Kitty Ebaline Wilson was born 23 Dec 1839 in Carlisle, Nicholas Co, Ky. Her parents were John Thomas Wilson and Katherine Ann Moore. Katherine had several sisters but I do not have any information on any of them (Elizabeth, Margaret, Nancy and Permilla), One sister, Ebaline married Ezra Pointer. So, Robert Standley should indeed be connected to my John S. Standley line but I need help.

Phillip Richard Standley

Jan Johnson — 29 Sep 2000 10:04:38 GMT

I am searching for information on my great grandfather who was Phillip Richard Standley. He was born in Van Buren, Iowa on November 5, 1832. He married Polly Ann Turnham in Illinois around 1855. Polly Ann died around 1880 in Illinois at which time he brought his children to Oregon via California we think. His siblings were W.H. (Bill), G.H. (George), T.D. (Thomas), J.R. (John), A.J. (Andrew), Olive (Ollie), Mary Ellen (Molly), and Arvilla. With the exception of Mary Ellen (Molly) who died in Oregon and is buried in Cottage Grove, Oregon, we have little information. We always heard his parents or grandparents originally came from Stanleydale (sp?) Scotland, then to America via England or Wales. I would appreciate any further information anyone has that may link us back farther than his birthdate in 1832. Thank you. My email is lilie@uswest.net

Pheolia Stanley, wife of Waitsel Avery Standley/Stanley

JMWhalen — 25 Mar 2005 2:23:38 GMT

I just obtained a death certificate for my GGGrandfather, Waitsel Avery Stanley (as spelled on the 1937 death certificate; his name is spelled Watsel Standley on the 1880 census, and his daughter Margaret Jane used Standley as well). The death certificate shows Pheolia L. Stanley as his wife, and his status as a widower.
Waitsel's wife when his daughter Margaret Jane was born was Mary Mullins. I've found some references to his being married a second time, to an Elmira Counts, but the name on his death certificate as his wife is a new one to me. Does anyone have any information on who Pheolia L. was?
Anyone wanting a copy of this death certificate, or the marriage certificate of Margaret Jane, who first married Alfred Rowe, then Alex Hatfield, feel free to contact me.

December 12, 1765:
Came from Germany, about 24 years ago, with their Father and Mother, Henry and Adam Moworn; but the Vessel being cast away at the Capes, the People got to Lewes-Town, where the Boys were given away by their Father, who afterwards proceeded to Philadelphia, where he and his wife soon died, and left a Daughter, named Mary, who still lives in Philadelphia, and is desirous to know if either of her Brothers are living; if this therefore should come to their knowledge, she desires them or either of them, to let her know where they live. They may hear of her by enquiring of Mr. Valentine Standley; in Market-Street, with whom she served her Time.

Looking for Oren Standley

I finally have time to look into some family history. This is my first post, and am just getting into genealogy.

I am looking for information on my grandfather, Oren Standley. His name is spelled Orin Standley on my parents marrage license (Earl Standley and Bertha Schaefer) , but I believe this is an error by the recording clerk since I have found references to Oren Standley in several on-line family trees. Married to Martha Lynch. Last known location (by me) is Moscow, Idaho. I do have a little information on his other children.

cowgirlforget — 29 Jun 2004 5:46:32 GMT

I am trying to locate my long lost Aunt. Her birth name is Karen Ann Standley. Her birthday is 09/09/1956 and she was born in Lincoln, Nebraska. My Grandma had to give her children to the Cedar's Home for Children in Lincoln, Nebraska back in either 1959 ro 1960. My Grandma's health is failing and this is the last of her children that has not been located. I would love to find her and get to know her since we share the same first name. Thank you.

Margaret STANDLEY of Virginia

JMWhalen — 11 Jan 2004 4:10:58 GMT

Hello;
I'm trying to confirm relation of Margaret Jane "Maggie" Standley, b. about 1872 in Dickson VA (I believe near Salt Lick). I know she married one Alfred W. Rowe of Wyoming County WV in 1889, and after his death married one Alex(ander) Hatfield in March 1915 in Wharnecliffe, WV.
Although she had no children that I know of with Alex Hartfield, she had a number of children with Alfred Rowe, including my Grandmother, Mary Rowe, who married Michael Foley in Bartley, WV in 1904.
If this rings any bells with anybody, please ring back.

Thomas D Standley d. Gibson, TN 1855

Marilyn Stroh — 29 Sep 2001 12:40:53 GMT

Looking for information about Thomas D Standley who was in Gibson Co. TN by 1830 when he appeared on a sheriff's list.

In 1855, our Shadrack Wilson was the administrator of his estate. Since our Wilson family had a much earlier Standley connection in Bertie Co., NC in which Rachell Moore, dau of Epaphroditus Moore, married a Standley, I am curious if there might have been an ongoing relationship with later generations keeping in touch.

I'm so mad at myself.

If yes, e-mail me at restes@mail.ic.net and I'll send it in spreadsheet format. I can't just throw it away.

Paul C. Standley, botanist

VanetteHobbs71 — 24 Feb 2004 1:57:20 GMT

Looking for information about Paul C. STANDLEY, renowned botanist, who was with the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago for many years. Much is available online about his professional life, but not his personal life. He is a cousin in some degree to my grandmother, Martha LUKENS McGONIGAL, but I'm not sure how he fits. I have a snapshot of him, probably taken in the 1930s. I suspect he was born in the 1880s, because he published in 1921 and possibly earlier. I also have a postcard photo taken in Ft. Myers, FL of a baby on which is written Standley Burke LUMMIS Born January 21 - 1918, who is no doubt related to Paul somehow.

Philip Standley

Jan — 8 Aug 2000 10:20:38 GMT

We are looking for any record of Philip Standley of Illinois. All we know is that he was from Illinois and married Polly Anne Turnan (sp?) and came to the Rogue River Valley of Oregon at a late age (around the 1870's). He is our great grandfather and father to our grandfather, Charles Washington Standley. We have very little information before he came to Oregon so any information you may have will be appreciated. Polly Anne apparently died prior to the family coming to Oregon. We believe Philip is of Scottish or English descent but we have little to go but information passed down from relatives with no verification. Thanks to anyone who can help us!

Moses Standley - Jane Menary

lyork2312 — 23 Mar 2002 2:12:58 GMT

I am researching the family of a Charles Menary SR. wife Mary Hahn

Charles was born ca 1750 and died about 1823 Bourbon co., Ky
He married about 1794 to mary Hahn (probably in Pa. --Daughter Jane is born in Pa)

charles was a distiller -- his still and kegs are sold
Chas. Menary's still sold to John Caul (Call?) and four of his tubs went to James Bryan, two to Joel Bates, six to John Maginnis, one to Charles Menary (Jr.?) and two to Leonard Dunivin. Ralph Jacoby's personalty included fourteen barrels when his estate was appraised in 1823.

We think he came to Ky around 1810 -- we know he was in Ky by 1814

Their known children were:
Charles Menary (Jr) born 1794 married Rachel Wills b. 1799 Ky
Jane Menary born 1795 Pa. - died Oct 1836 Ind. married Moses Standley b. 1793 Va, - d. 1858 Tx
They were married 1814 at Paris, Bourbon county, Ky
Nancy Menary married Beaufort Banta
James b. 1800-1810 (Ky ?)
Sarah Menary m: 1824 Ky Benjamin Baxter

If there is anyone who can place any of these people in their research --I would really like to make contact with you and compare notes. I have been stuck at this point in my research for a long time.
