John, son of Anthony Stanyan, was born July 16, 1642, in Hampton, and died there September 27, 1718, the home being in what is now Hampton Falls. In his will he takes especial plains to ensure the retention of his property in the Stanyan family. He was elected selectman in 1692, 1699, 1701, and 1709, and representative in 1705. He was regarded by his contemporaries as a very good man, and is believed to have been a Quaker. He proposed that some of the common lands be set off to the Quakers for a parsonage, and this was done February 19, 1711. He was married December 25, 1663 to Mary Bradbury, of Salisbury, and they were the parents of eight children.
