Notes:From "The Drapers in America":

"The Family of Stansfield, or Stansfeld of Stansfeld, as anciently written, trace their descent from Wyon Maryon, the descent of a noble line in Brittany and a companion-in-arms of William the Conqueror, who obtained from his Royal Master a grant of the extensive Township of Stansfeld in the county of York, England, and assuming therefrom his surname, was founder of this Family. His descendants have remained in this county ever since, enjoying high respectability. The ancient residence, Stansfeld Hall is still to be seen in the once beautiful valley of the Todmore. Like the Drapers, branches have scattered over the British Isles and America."

From an unknown source:

"The Stansfields, or Stansfeld of Stansfeld as anciently written, were of French or Brittany ancestry, like the Drapers. They can trace their descent from Wyon Maryon, a descendant of a noble line in Brittany and a companion in arms of William the Conqueror. William granted them the extensive township of Stanfield, York County, England. The Stansfields and Drapers have been closely connected in England for centuries. Their native place of residence was the villiage and parochial chapelry in Halifax Parish, West Riding, Yorkshire, England. They were finally brought together when James the Puritan married Miriam Stansfield.
