Acquilla Standiford was the son of Aquilla Standiford 1741-1799 (a son of William Standiford c.1710-after 1750) and Sarah Clark b.1744 who moved from Baltimore County, Maryland to Nicholas County, Kentucky in 1784. He moved to Indiana between 1803 when he married in KY and c.1810.

He married first Elizabeth Geoghegan in Nicholas Co KY on 26 Dec 1803. He married second Anna Elrod Phillips in Indiana 21 Nov 1819.

According to his 1856 will (probated 1857), his then-living children were: Sons Nathan C. 1804-1884; Squire 1808-1867; Michael 1812-1862; John F. 1820-1897;and Aquilla 1824-1901. Also daughters Sarah Elrod 1810-1880; Elizabeth McGaw 1815-1889; and Priscilla Stucken 1822-1896. The heirs of daughter Mary Ann Wilcoxson 1805-1847 were mentioned. Children who died before him were Mahala 1829-1850, Samuel 1826-1840, and William 1838-1840. There were likely at least two more from his first marriage.

The name Aquilla is much used in his family and among his descendants. It is believed that it was "picked up" from the Paca family in 18th century Baltimore County, MD.

The airport in Louisville is Standiford Field and was named after Aquilla's brother who had a farm on site.
