    STANYAN, STANNYAN, STANIAN or STANION, ANTHONY, Boston, had
been of Exeter, by w. Mary, says our town rec. had John, b. 16, bapt.
24 July 1642, our chl. rec. show. that he was mem. of the ch. of E. and

d. of Robert Randall of the same rem. soon aft. and prob. was one of the
first sett. of Mendon 1663. His wid. is nam. in the will of her f. 27 Mar.
