     Samuel West Abbreviated Obit from CHILD Genealogy:

Mr. West was born Concord, NH. When quite young, his parents removed to Strafford, VT, where, and in Bath, NH, he resided until 1827, when he removed to Troy, VT. He was a worthy member of the Congregational Church, exemplary and punctual in all the duties both of a christian and a citizen, beloved and respected by all who knew him, and has at last, full of years, left the congregation of the church militant on earth to join, as we humbly hope, the assembly of the church triumphant in heaven.' Of his wife, it said: She resided most of her life in Bath, NH and Troy, VT. In early life she united with the Congregational Church, of which she has been a consistent member, and died as she had lived, in faith and hope of the gospel. Reference: HFWEST-1.

Erastus West (M)
b. 17 July 1807
Pop-up Pedigree

     Reference: HFWEST-1. Erastus West Resided N. Troy, Vermont.

From history of Troy, VT:

Erastus West, from Bath, N.H., came to Troy in 1827, and located upon the farm he now occupies. Mrs. West, whose maiden name was Maria Marsh, was born in Canada. While she was yet an infant the war of 1812 broke out. Her father, not being loyal to the British cause, had to flee to the States. Some time during the winter following, Mrs. Marsh took her children, and with two spirited horses crossed the St. Lawrence on the ice, at night. Mr. Marsh and others were on the shore to meet them, enveloped in
sheets so that their dark clothing, with its contrast to the snow, would not discover them to the British.

1850 US Census for Troy, Orleans Co, VT (Note: 'Wrest' was the surname enumeration):



NOTE: What's odd is... Erastus enumerated with parents (though himself as head of household), but no Maria OR Hamilton. Question is, was Hamilton son of Maria but not Erastus? There IS a listing for Maria Marsh, b. @1813, in Troy in 1850, not West... something to consider.

Here's the 1850 Census enumeration for Troy, VT:

WEST (Wrest):

Erastus, 42, m, farmer, NH
Samuel, 89, m, no occ:, NH
Nabby, 79, f, NH
Hannah, 38, f, NH
Horace CLUFF, 17, m, NH

NOT to be confused with Erastus C. West, also b. 1870, but b. VT.

1860 in Troy, VT, Erastus 53, Maria 49, and Hamilton 13.

Question STILL remains, as neither Maria nor Hamilton in 1850 Census, could she have been married previously, and Hamilton adopted or step-son of Erastus? It surely looks as if he was not yet married in 1850, so that is the most likely 'pattern' in this case. He was born on 17 July 1807 at Bath, Grafton County, New Hampshire, USA. He was the son of Samuel West and Abigail 'Nabby' Child. Erastus West married Maria Marsh on 3 December 1855.

Mary E. Stanton (F)
b. March 1850, d. 27 March 1934
Pop-up Pedigree

     Reference: HFWEST-1. Her married name was West. Mary E. Stanton Suspect Mary is d/o James & Margaret of Newburgh NY in 1850/60.

NO idea where anyone has found information supporting Mary E. Stanton was b. 1832. Need to seek out earlier census records on Henry, but believe Mary Stanton was his one and ONLY wife. In 1900 Census, she listed her child count as 4/1, indicating only one living child, which would be Lillian.

A Grace Stanton b. Jan-1873 listed with Mary' daughter and her husband in 1900 Census, as 'servant'.
In 1900 US Census for Henry & Mary, is listed a Charles Stanton, b. Mar-1882, 'boarder'.
Both born AFTER she married Henry, so not likely from any previous marriage. What about niece and nephew?

Charles b. 25-Mar-1882, Sparrowbush, NY, d. 1955, Everett, Washington (state) s/o Franklin Stanton. Franklin, b. @1853, so Benjamin Stanton and Sarah Ann Cargin... also parents of Mary E. Stanton b. Mar-1850. SO, Charles was surely a nephew.????

Grace was d/o another brother, Gilbert, b. @1848, Sullivan Co, NY, so, a niece.?????

Okay, now this all looks very concrete and easy to figure out... PROBLEM is, the Census records of the time are a bit sketchy in pulling this family group together... see below...

Grace Stanton, prob. d/o Gilbert b. 1848, NY, found in Forestburgh, Sullivan Co in 1880, wife Charlotte, b. @1855.

ISSUE w/ Stantons:

1860 US Census for Forestburgh, NY:
Benjamin, b. 1802
Sarah, b. 1813
Gilbert, b 1848
MARY SHOULD BE RIGHT HERE!!!
Franklin, b. 1853
Louisa, b. 1855
NO OTHER CHILDREN LISTED!

1860 Census or Newburgh...

Margaret Stanton, age 33 (no listing of a husband)
Rachel Stanton, age 20, tailoress
James H. Stanton, age 18, laborer
Mary Stanton, age 10, all b. NY

ONLY Mary in Sullivan or Orange Counties that is even close in age..

Another, though older, listed aged 14 in 1860, is found as daughter of Truman Stanton and wife, Mary A. SHE is listed as Mary E. Stanton, with two brothers shown, William, b. @1840, and Truman J. b. @1843. This family is in THOMPSON, Sullivan Co, NY in 1860.



In 1870, weirder...

Lumberland, Sullivan Co in 1870:

Gilbert and Charlotte in their own householf, he's 23, she's 17.
Other house is only:
Benjamin aged 63, 'Sally Ann' (Sarah) aged 57, and Louisa, age 15.

And where is Mary? She was not married until 1873... so look for a domestic somewhere...

One b. @1851 living in Liberty, Sullivan Co, with parents Steven and Harriet.
A domestic b. @1851 in Forestburgh, and another b. @1849 in Mamakating, Sullivan Co, NY

Believe the domesting in Forestburgh, in home of John Jones, is this Mary.

1850 for Lumberland (are they close?)

STANTON:
B. 42 teamster, NY
S. 37 f NY
J 15 f NY (Julia?)
Wm 13 f NY (does show 'f') William (if M)
R 11 f NY (Rachel)
S 9 m NY (Silas)
A 7 m NY (Albert) (GOOD to THIS point... then..)
L 5 f NY (?Sarah?)
P 2 m NY (should be Gilbert?)
H 3m f NY (would have been Mary E. )

I think some researchers MAY have mixed up multiple families?

Lumberland and Forestburgh, in Sullivan county offers two close ones, with these towns sharing a common border, so surely a possible 'cross-town' family.

Tough area to work, as Forestburgh, Lumberland, Sparrow Bush, Port Jervis, and Deer Park are ALL within about a 12X12 mile square. She was born in March 1850 at Forestburg, Sullivan County, New York, USA. She was the daughter of Benjamin Stanton and Sarah Ann (Carr?) Cargin. Mary E. Stanton married Henry Farnum West, son of Jonathan West and Sarah Lawrence, circa 1873 at New York, USA. Mary E. Stanton died on 27 March 1934.
