Anne, daughter of Peter Stanley, Esq. (d.1592) of Moor Hall

Legg inn av Gjest » 18 feb 2005 05:31:02

I wanted to point out a couple of items that are giving me trouble with the
lineage of Anne (Stanley) Sutton, wife of Edward Sutton, who married in 1576
in Ormskirk, Lancashire, as presented in Douglas Richardson's Plantagenet
Ancestry.
In his 1589 will Peter Stanley referred to his daughter Anne as Anne
Blundevell, which was likely meant for Blundell as that was a common name in
Ormskirk parish. Anne (Stanley) Sutton was already married to Edward Sutton at that
time and long after that date [1589].
Also missing in his account of Peter Stanley's children is his daughter,
Katherine (Stanley) Urmeston; also his son and heir Thomas Stanley [by his first
wife] who had a marriage covenant dated 1547 to marry Jane Molyneux of
Sefton. This Thomas was living in 1555 but had died s.p. and v.p. by 1566,
leaving his sister Margaret (Stanley) Stanley [d. 1613] as heiress to Bickerstaffe.
In an account of mourning taken in preparation for the funeral of Henry
Stanley, Esq. [d. 1598] of Little Hall, Cross Hall, and Bickerstaffe, Anne
(Stanley) Sutton and her daughter Ales (sic) are grouped not with the immediate
family group [which includes Henry Stanley's legitimate daughters: Jane
(Stanley) Hesketh, Anne Stanley, and Dorothy Stanley], but she is listed next to Mrs
Haughton, who is likely Margaret (Stanley) Haughton, a known illegitimate
daughter of Henry.
Anne (Stanley) Sutton can be ruled out as a legitimate daughter of Henry's
brother, Sir George Stanley [bur. 8 Dec 1570] and his wife Dame Isabel
Duckinfield [bur. 25 May 1582], as their daughter Anne was called Anne Salisbury in
1592.

I think from the extant evidence that Anne (Stanley) Sutton looks like an
illegitimate daughter of Henry Stanley [1524/5-1598]. Is there anyone who can
explain this evidence that contradicts Mr Richardson's conclusions? Thanks
for any assistance.

Dear Todd ~

You seem to have things just a little confused in your post.

Anne Stanley, wife of Edward Sutton, Gent., was the daughter of Peter
Stanley, Esq., of Moor Hall (in Aughton), and Bickerstaffe (in
Ormskirk), Lancashire, by his 2nd wife, Cecily Tarleton. Anne's
baptism and marriage are found in the parish registers of Ormskirk,
Lancashire. Anne was definitely not an illegitimate daughter of Henry
Stanley, Esq. (died 1598). Rather, Henry Stanley was married to Anne's
half-sister, Margaret Stanley.

Likewise, Anne (Stanley) Sutton was a completely different person from
Anne Blundell. Anne Blundell was Peter Stanley's step-daughter, she
being the daughter of Peter's 3rd wife, Jane Leigh, widow of Richard
Starkey [References: Glover et al., Vis. of Cheshire 1580, 1566, 1533 &
1591 (H.S.P. 18) (1882): 217-218 (Starkey pedigree); St. George
Pedigrees made at the Visitation of Cheshire, 1613 (H.S.P. 59) (1909):
225 (Starkey pedigree)].

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah
