The majority of the ten plus generations of Stancliff's in America are descended from the immigrant Yorkshire, England stone cutter named James Stanclift of Middletown, CT. James was first found in the Old Lyme, CT in 1684. In about 1690 he was the first settler (the founder) to build a house and live in what is now Portland, CT a fact commemorated by a Connecticut State sign by the Portland Court House. He opened the famous Portland, CT brownstone quarries that were later the source of stone for the brownstone mansions of New York, Philadelphia and Boston. The Washington Monument in Washington D.C. was to be built with stones from each of the states. The stone from CT was from what was once the Stanclift brownstone quarry. The campaigns and battles that Revolutionary War, War 0f 1812, and Civil War soldier's units participated in during the time of their service are linked to this file. (Click on the above links)

The Stancliff/Stancliffe/Stanclift surname originated in 1274 when surnames were first becoming established in the Shibden Valley, near Halifax, West Yorkshire, England. The first head of the family was known as John de Stanclyf or John of the stone cliff. It is believed that nearly all individuals of that name and similar spellings in both America and England are descended from this ancestor and thus are all cousins. The family grew in the Halifax area and owned at least three large land holdings known as Scout, Hagstocks, and New Hey. Scout Hall built in 1680 on the site of the first Stancliff houses named Scout still exists.
