Also known as James Stanclift and "James Jr" by the family. He was a stone mason like his father & grandfather. He worked in the field alongside a cousin, James Stanclift III. His grandfather established the Stanclift Stone Quarry which provided many of the Portland stones found in buildings and gravestones across the region.
James Stanclift, Jr. was the son of William and thus of the same generation of James III and Comfort Stanclift, who also were masons. His work is common in the Simsbury and Southington regions of western Connecticut. In eastern Connecticut, only a single stone by his hand is known: the Elizabeth Latimor (1754) stone in the old Quarry burying ground in Portland. His peculiar heavy-jawed cherubim are quite characteristic. (source "The Stanclift Carvers" University of Connecticut)
