Welcome to the new website for The Thomas Stanton Society. We are here with a new look and hoping to connect and find more of our cousins. In the recent past we have not been too visible online, and we hope our new presence here will allow you descendants of Thomas Stanton of CT to find us and become familiar with our organization.
Our organization was founded in the 1990s by a small group who wanted to honor Thomas Stanton and study their colonial heritage. They also wanted to connect with their far-flung cousins who shared that same heritage. This has been accomplished through several family reunions and through a periodic newsletter where family information is shared.
With today’s technology our goal is to enhance that effort, both socially
and with the increased sharing of information obtained by various family members. The
As we look forward to some of the new challenges for our organization we see several priorities.
- We hope to reach out and communicate with more people through effective use of computer technology.
- We hope to instill a love for family history in our young people.
- We will support and help The Stanton Davis Homestead Museum (a separate organization) in the pursuit of its goals.
Please explore this website for more information regarding The Thomas Stanton Society. We hope you will enjoy it and will find it useful and informative. If you do not find the information you require here, please feel free to contact us.
In Memoriam - Bernard J. Stanton, Past President of the Thomas Stanton Society
The death of Bernard J. Stanton, of Bradenton, Florida, was announced on May 18, 2009, by Bettie R. Buffington, his loving companion. Bernard and Bettie were high school sweethearts and were later reunited when he moved to Florida after retiring in 1982. A veteran of WWII, Bernard served in the Army Air Force for 3 1/2 years, mainly in the Pacific area. Following the war, Bernard started his family in Toledo, Ohio then moved to Temperance, MI in 1958. He worked for the Toledo Scale Co. for 30 years as a detailer, draftsman, and sales rep. One of his proudest moments was winning a gold medal in an Italian competition involving a video presentation concerning the weighing of moving parts. Bernard had a passion for landscape design and was a part-time employee of the Black Diamond Nursery for many years. Bernard also served as the President of the Thomas Stanton Society and was involved in the genealogy of the Stanton family heritage.
