NOT PROVEN WIFE OF DAVID ALVIS! A likely wife of David Alvis. Msg From: "Carol Kleppinger" Hi, Josephine, Stanley & Allied Families, Vol I (1996) lists Elizabeth as the daughter of John Stanley and says she married Alvis or Olvis:

"Elizabeth (Stanley) Alvis or Olvis, born Hanover Co., VA. mcd --Alvis, perhaps Forrester, John or George Alvis. The Stanley Alvis and George Alvis in Hanover Co., VA, 1787 census, may have been her sons." pg 278. Carol Kleppinger

Oct 4 1787 (Records of Hanover County) - Eliz'b X Alvis receipt for Payment by Wm Thomas 1/3 of tract of land sold by her late husband David Alvis of Hanover to Moses Harris.

Stanley and Allied Families Vol I states that Elizabeth Stanley Beaver was born 29 March 1718. She was the 2nd of 2 known children of Thomas Stanley Jr. and Elizabeth Maddox, b. 1693, d. 1724. Thomas Jr. then married Elizabeth Crew and had 10 more children. No children for Elizabeth Stanley Beaver are listed.

Thanks to Bob Strong for this excellent research. An Elizabeth Stanley is reported in Hinshaw's Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol VI, VA to have been born 29 Mar 1719, dau of Thomas Stanley, Jr and his first unidentified, wife. This data prob came from the Henrico (formerly White Oak Swamp) Monthly Meeting Minutes, as Monthly Meeting Minutes at Cedar Creek did not begin until abt 1739.

Donald W. Stanley, unpublished research in 1971 "Our Stanley Ancestors". desc of Strangeman Stanley. copyright Kenneth W. Stanley, 1996.

Celeste Terrell Barnhill of Miami, Florida in (c) 1931, with the assistance of George Tatum Stanley of Huntington Park, California, and Clayton V. Stanley of Des Moines, Iowa, privately published a genealogy entitled VIRGINIA QUAKER STANLEYS AND DESCENDANTS. A copy of this manuscript was deposited with the Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, VA; the manuscript was microfilmed and is available through the LDS Family History Centers.

Barnhill, Stanley, & Stanley reported that Elizabeth Stanley was a daughter of John Stanley, the eldest, and his first, unidentified wife, and that Elizabeth, whose date of birth and marriage were unknown, married a Mr. "Olvis".

Barnhill, Stanley, and Stanley reported that Elizabeth Stanley, daughter of Thomas Stanley, Jr., and Elizabeth Maddox, was born 3-29-1718 [about 29 JUN 1718], and that she married a Mr. Beaver, date of marriage not reported.

Unfortunately Barnhill, Stanley, & Stanley did not provide detailed documentation for their genealogy. There are a number of data that I have been unable to confirm as yet.

1. I cannot confirm that the first wife of John Stanley, the eldest, was Alice Ballard, as has been reported on the STANLEY Mail List.
2. I cannot find a marriage record for Elizabeth Stanley (Alvis).
3. I cannot find a marriage record for Elizabeth Stanley (Beaver).

Cedar Creek MM minutes start JAN 1740. (Mrs.) Elizabeth Stanley signed a marriage certificate that month. The first reference to a (Miss?) Elizabeth Stanley in Hinshaw's abstracts of minutes was on 12 JUL 1755 when Elizabeth Stanley was condemned for her behavior concerning her sister's marriage. Was this a reference to the marriage before 9 MAY 1754 of Anne Stanley, daughter of John Stanley, the eldest, to a Mr. Strong? If so, then Elizabeth was a daughter of John Stanley. Elizabeth was apparently still unmarried in JUL 1755. In October 1755, Elizabeth Stanley, "Jr." (the younger of two in the congregation or in the county) signed the Womens MM book. [This was "a pledge of allegiance" to the Society of Friends.]
If the two Elizabeths were Quakers who married out of unity, then there should be dismissals recorded for Mrs. Beaver about 1730s or 1740s in the Henrico MM minutes, and for Mrs. Alvis about 1750s or 1760s, probably in the Cedar Creek MM minutes.

There is a big gap in the Quaker records of the Stanley family. There are no references to Stanleys from 1708, when Thomas Stanley, the eldest, was dismissed, until 1722 when the Cedar Creek Meeting was recognized.

But both Elizabeths should have married after 1722.

The first reference to an Elizabeth Stanley in the Henrico MM minutes, as abstracted by Hinshaw, was to Elizabeth Crew Stanley, (second) wife of Thomas Stanley, Jr. They were married before 1726, 10, 3 (before 3 JAN 1727, New Style), per Hinshaw's abstract of the announcement of their wedding. Next came the wedding of James Stanley, Jr., to Elizabeth Ellyson at the Black Creek MH in New Kent Co., VA, on 1754, 12, 11 (or thereabout).
