[300] He was the agent for the family's West Indian trade.
Daniel had willed to him by his father in 1678 two hundred
acres of land; this he authorizes his mother to sell for him.
She sold it, 18 Sep, 1682, for 24 pounds to George Denison. In
the New England Registry, Vol.15, p. 64, is a note to the
effect that "Joseph Wells of Westerly in 1681 built the
"Alexander and Martha" (dimensions, 40 ft by 16 ft. midship)
for Alexander Pygan, Samuel Rogers and Daniel Stanton." The
letter from Daniel to his mother authorizing her to sell the
two hundred acres of land was written at Barbadoes in 1682. The
inference is that he sailed in said ship in 1681 or 1682. This,
however, may not have been his first voyage, and we have no
means of knowing whether it was his last.
[11214] There is much room for discussion as to Daniel's marriage.
Savage thinks he lived in Westerly, RI, and by a wife Elizabeth
had five children. This cannot be: these five children were
born from 1678 to 1687, and are recorded in the Friend's
Meeting House at Newport, RI. They are the children of Daniel
son of Robert Stanton of Newport, RI. Baldwin, and other
genealogists, think that Daniel married in Barbadoes. Judge
Richard A. Wheeler, of Stonington, Conn., in a letter written
April 14, 1886, discusses this subject thus: "I have searched
in all the old records of Stonington, Westerly, New London and
all of the Rhode Island and Connecticut archives and I am
satistifed that this Daniel Stanton married here and not in
Barbadoes. I cannot prove it but my opinion is that Daniel
Stanton married Eliza Wheeler. "Thomas Miner's Diary says that
this Miss Wheeler married some one, but provokingly omits the
name of the groom. This Miss Wheeler had a brother Richard, who
was my great-grandfather Wheeler's father."
The case for his wife being Martha is based on entries in the
"Barbados Records, Baptism Records 1637-1800," compiled and
edited by Joanne Mcree Sanders, 1984 in which are two baptism
entries for Hannah and Daniel, children of Daniel and Martha
Stanton.
