Henry Stansbury (1807-1881) lived on a farm about 1/4 mile outside of Hampstead, MD (see text of auction poster below). He inherited 1/8 of his father, Micajah Stansbury's, property. His father's will was probated in Carroll County, MD, on August 2, 1858.

He married Sophia Phillips of Manchester, MD (the next town over from Hampstead in Carroll County, MD). They had eight children, and several of the boys fought for the Union Army. Henry Stansbury signed a Loyalty Oath to the United States in July 1863.

In 1882, following Henry's death, the family farm outside Hampstead was sold by auction by Henry's sons Whitfield and Benjamin F. Stansbury, who were his executors. The text of the auction poster follows:
