The following pages
are a transcription of “STANLEY AND
KINDRED FAMILIES” which was compiled by: Florence and John Guttery Jasper,
Alabama, 1964. Joe Dickson painstakingly transcribed this family genealogy and
posted it in the hopes of helping other Stanley Family researchers. It is posted here with the permission of Joe
Dickson. My ancestor was Mary J Salyer Stanley. I have included an Ancestor Report of Mary J Stanley at the end
after the index. Please note that the index is not complete. It is much better
to use your browser’s find function, or the onsite search engine. I
have kept the transcription as I received it except where noted. I do not have
any other information on the Stanley family.

I
received this book as a gift from my wife in the early 1960’s.
I
have attempted to copy the book exactly as it was printed. Partway through I
began to correct some obvious errors, such as changing Mch to Mar or March
Not
wanting to make changes that would lose the original text, I still wanted to
point out obvious errors or any additions to my family that were not in the
original book. I put these changes in italics to indicate that these
were my comments. Quite often, the authors would have their own notes and
comments. This will not appear in italics.
I
also wanted to keep track of the original page numbers. This was so that I
could reference any questions by going back to the original page number. The
setup of the page numbers however, and because of the smaller type font used,
when printed on 8.5 x 11 inch standard paper, would only fill half a sheet. So
therefore, I inserted the original page numbers in a different font, in a
larger size and BOLD such as this: 12
I know this might be an annoyance while
reading the data, but so be it.
There
is not a copyright printed in the book and it is not my intention to take any
credit for anything here. This was merely done to provide a history of the
Stanley family as was supplied to the Gutterys and to make this information
available to researchers looking for family ties. While most genealogy programs
will not print birth dates of living individuals, I have no way of knowing who
is alive and who is not. It could be presumed that anyone born before 1900
would be deceased, but this is not necessarily so. Since the book is in the
public domain and has been for over 30 years. In the interest of genealogical
research I have left the dates alone, that is as they were in the original
book. I know that this book is in several different libraries, and copies are
in the hands of many researchers all over the country. Many sincere researchers
are not interested in embarrassing anyone by making their private affairs
public
Also,
while I have made an effort to check my entries for accuracy against the book,
it is impossible to "catch" every one of them. Typos are bound to
occur. especially in the dates and some name spellings. There are a lot of
names with unusual spellings and I have tried to maintain the spellings exactly
as they are in the original book. A lot of this information came from early
census and Bible records and a lot of the recorders of this information had
little schooling and would spell names as they sounded to them.
Another
concern is the various Word Processors that various people have. This document
was created using Microsoft WORD 6.0. When using other word processors such as
WORD PERFECT - You may lose some formatting. WORD 6.0 does allow me to save the
document in different formats. If you have Windows-95, you should be able to
open the document in WORDPAD. If however, you cannot process the data, I will
be happy to try a different format for you.
I
hope anyone who benefits from this copy of the Stanley and Kindred Families
will use proper discretion.
