Notes for Miriam Stansfield
She was known as the “belle of Stansfield Hall”1227
Notes for James (Spouse 1)
James' ancestors had lived along Draper's Lane in the village of Heptonstall, Yorkshire, in windswept northern England since at least 1415... But as other Puritan families had for a generation, they [made the journey]. Draper’s great-grandsons fought in the American Revolution. Moses fought in the Battle of Lexington; Samuel was a captain the Contintental Army and Jonathan was an officer who served with the Minutemen at Lexington.1224

He was known as "James the Puritan" because of his strict piety.1225

He was made a freeman in 1690 in Roxbury, MA. 1226
