     Mahler corrects Flagg and others on the Stanley ancestry concluding: "Thus, Flagg's researcher invented one baptism out of whole cloth, misreported another, and probably picked a third baptism that was too late to be that of the immigrant. Evidently someone provided Flagg with expected, instead of a factual, answers.
"We can now state that the three immigrant brothers were in fact sons of Robert Standley of Tenterden, Kent, as outlined below."¹ "Robert's estate, which consisted of typical items such as clothing, furniture, stores of food and livestock, was valued at £51 11s 1d. (Archdeaconry of Canterbury, registered inventories, vol. 31, f. 322 [FHL film #189,041]." This inventory gives his occupation as whitesmith.⁴
     The fact that the New England immigrants John, Thomas and Timothy were "brothers is found in a 3 March 1634/5 Massachusetts Bay court record which shows that John died before his arrival in North America, and 'left three children undisposed of, the youngest whereof is since deceased,' in care of his brothers Thomas and Timothy."⁵

He and his mother Mary sold to Stephen Merrick land in Taunton, March 28, 1692/3, east of the Meeting House on the east side of ghe Great River, containing about six acres. This deed was acknowledged July 31, 1696, but not recorded until February 22, 11699 but it shows his father had deceased prior to 1693.
