Genealogy Stanley Family - History of the House of Stanley

[From Seacombe, History of House of Stanley]

THE SECOND PART OF THE GENEALOGICAL HISTORY OF THE ANTIENT AND HONOURABLE HOUSE of STANLEY.

IN the first part of this book I have given the reader a direct and lineal succession of this most antient house from their original, (as far as I am able to discover it) to the year 1776

And have also taken notice of and described the leading collateral branch, in the person of Sir John Stanley, whose successors became EARLS of DERBY, and have lineally deduced them from him to the demise of Edward, the late Earl above-mentioned.

I have likewise given the pedigree and genealogy of Sir Thomas Latham, Lord of Latham, and the marriage of his only daughter with the aforesaid Sir John Stanley, with their issue in the leading line, to the time before-mentioned ; together with the history and descendants of his natural son, Sir Oskatel, which hath so far completed the history proposed, and naturally leads me into a new scene of proceeding by a lineal and successive description of every other colletaral branch issuing out of, or from the original stock, some of whom went out full early as the said Sir John ; but his branch being highly advanced in honour and dignity, claims the first notice; and I will, as intended, give the reader a true sight of our proceeding, and prevent all confusion in the coherence of one part with the other.

The first and next branch in due course is, the honourable and worthy house of Greswithen, in the county of Cumberland, whose origin and descendants are described by the following printed table.
