In answer to question :
I am working on the Stanley Family of the Dartmouth River. There is a mention of John Stanley and "young John Stanley" in the will of Felix O'Hara in 1805. Could either of these be of our famiily? I have some indication that a John, Thomas, Henry and a William Stanley having fishing stations (salmon I believe) on the Dartmouth in the mid 1800's. My family appears to descend from a Thomas Stanley born in 1805 and his son John Stanley born in 1839. Could the John Stanley mentioned in the O'Hara will be the father of Thomas? Could the John Stanley mentioned in the will have been a man servant( military ) to Felix O'Hara thus making him a soldier of the British Army?
My Answer is:
