Research Note

An unsourced Ancestry.com profile says that Nancy (Stanley) Aldrich was born at Swanzey, New Hampshire, in 1771, the daughter of Penticost Stanley and Experience (Fairbanks) Stanley.^[5] No evidence has been found to support this claim. A Nancy Stanley was born at Lancaster, New Hampshire, on 27 May 1782, the daughter of Dennis and Sally Stanley,^[6] but other than the name, there is no evidence to connect her with the wife of Henry Aldrich.

She is probably the Ann Aldrich living at the head of household at Newtown, New York, in 1850, with her age shown as 60 and her birthplace as New Hampshire. She was living with with an Angela Latham, age 37, (almost certainly her daughter, Angela (Aldrich) Latham) and a Mortimer Latham, age 16, both born in Maine.^[7]
