On December 7, 1648, she received 50 pounds out of the "moveables" of her late father's estate.
Elizabeth Stanly [later spelled Stanley] was almost certainly born in Cambridge, Massachusetts Bay Colony, where her immigrant parents first settled in America. The next year, 1636, her family followed the Puritan leader, Thomas Hooker, inland where they became the first English colonists to settle in a place the Native Americans called "Suckiag". It was where the Dutch had set up a trading post in 1633. At first the English called it Newtown, but by 1637 they had renamed it Hartford. Her father, Timothy Stanly, was one of the original proprietors of Hartford. His name is on the Founder's Monument, and even more amazing his 1648 gravestone still stands in the Ancient Burying Ground in Hartford.
