  • Notes 
    • Ethel Stanwood Bolton, on page 144 of The Stanwood Family In America, states that John's wife Mary Gilley was from Milford, CT. However, the marriage record found in Eden Town Records states Mary was from Eden, Maine. Further research is required to verify the descendents attributed to John and Mary.
