THE WIDOW CROUCH BIOGRAPHICAL: From Moses Stanford, Minuteman: A Stanford Family History, San Jose, California, 1978. Compiled by Lois Remington Smith. "Thomas Stanford whose parents and date and place of birth are unknown, is the earliest ancestor to whom we can trace our lineage by record. His name first appears in early New England on the records of the church at Charlestown, Mass. when four of his children were baptized there in August 1688." "He is described in the entry as "ye blindeman now entering into covenant." After the birth of two more children who were baptized in the same church, Thomas died in Charlestown 1695. There is no record of any estate and he apparently lived in that town on the Jones estate of his wife. At some unknown time he had married Sarah (Crouch) Jones, widow of Thomas Jones, who at his death had left her with five children and was a carpenter in Sherborn, MA. Sarah was the dau of William Crouch and Sarah (Lamson) b. ca 1648-50, d. 11 Dec 1707 in Charlestown and was "buried by the town ." geocities/~wallyg/M9thomas_stanford.htm
