Timeline

1621. Birth of Ann Lord in England.^{[4][p. 13]} The ship manifest in 1635 states Ann was 14 years old.^{[5][Vol. 3, p. 116][6][p. 72][7]}

1624, September 18. Baptism of Ann Lord at Towcester, Northamptonshire, England. (Flagg^[8] states Ann's baptism was on 18 September 1614. A possible transcription error and the year should maybe be 1624 as she was born in 1621.)

1635, April 29. Departure of Ann Lord (age 14) with her family from London, England for New England on the ship Elizabeth & Ann. Some sources^[6] indicate 29 April 1635 is the departure date from London. Others^{[4][p. 13]} indicate it is the arrival date in New England. One source^[7] gives two dates without an explanation. This is probably a range of when the ship departed as the dates are too close together to be departure and arrival dates. See Category: Great Migration Ships.

1637. Marriage of Thomas¹ Stanton and Ann² Lord at Hartford, Connecticut Colony.^{[4][pp 11-12, 65][9][10]}

1669, February 8. Ann Stanton is mentioned in the will of her mother, Dorothy Lord.^[11]

1677, December 2. Death of Ann's husband Thomas¹ Stanton in Stonington, Connecticut Colony, British America.^{[12][p. 273]}

1678, June. Ann's husband Thomas¹' will is probated. "[Ann] lived eleven years longer, making her home with her daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Noyes of Stonington."^{[4][p. 28]}

1688 Death of Ann (Lord) Stanton, probably in Stonington, New London County, Connecticut Colony. She was buried with her husband at the Wequetequock Burial Ground, Stonington.^{[4][p. 65][8][9]}

Research Notes

One item that needs further research is the baptism date for Ann Lord. As indicated above, her baptism date is given as 18 September 1614 by Ernest Flagg.^[8] Mr. Flagg did research some original sources in England, however, this date needs to be rechecked. Other sources appear to follow Flagg's lead and state Ann's birth year is also 1614. This 1614 date is in conflict with Ann sailing in 1635 at an age of 14 (thus a birth year of about 1621.)
