Forgot to mention this has ties to Maurice Johnson b 1480 of Lincolnshire and Kentshire England families. Possible ties to Alderman and Sheriff of London Robert Johnson of Lincolnshire( per Coat of Arms is the Yarbough families) who married Sir Thomas Smyths daughter, Thomas Smith was married to Lady Judd of Yorkshire her father was Sir Anthony Judd. Miss Smith and Alderman Robert Johnson of Va Company and East India Company thei daughter married Timothy Middleton of Essexshire son of Sir Thomas Middleton of Wales, London, Essex and Shirley Hundred with two of Lord Delawr West aka Sir Thomas West of Westover Plantation in1610

George Stanley held the office of Constable of Wicklow Castle in 1486 and became Chief Justice of the Duchy of Lancaster in 1486. In 1487 George Stanley was invested with the Order of the Garter and made a Privy Counsellor .

George Stanley was married in 1482 to Joan L'Estrange , daughter of John L'Estrange and Jacquetta Woodville (daughter of Jacquetta of Luxembourg ), thereby becoming 9th Baron Strange de jure uxoris (in the right of his wife) and was summoned to Parliament in this role.

Their children were: John Stanley, (d. 1503); Thomas Stanley, who following the premature death of his father, succeeded his grandfather as Thomas Stanley, 2nd Earl of Derby (1485-1521); James Stanley, Knight (1486-1562), who founded the branch of the family known as the 'Stanleys of Bickerstaffe', from which the 11th Earl of Derby and all subsequent Earls descend; George Stanley; Jane Stanley; Elizabeth Stanley and Margaret Stanley.

He died in Derby House , St Paul's Wharf, London over 4-5 December 1503, allegedly of poison following a banquet. He was buried in the London church of St James Garlickhythe nearby. http://www.ffish.com/family_tree/pedigrees/1092.htm It is not without significance either to "Smith/Smyth/e" genealogy that one John Roberts of Ashford, Shropshire, married Margaret Johnson, daughter of Richard Johnson, Sergeant-at -Arms to Prince Arthur, first-born son of King Henry VII and his wife, the Princess Elizabeth of York. For details of Henry Tudor's link to the maternal line of this "Family Vault", click on the Tudor Rose, adjacent. This line may be traced back to the early Saxon Kings of Wessex. Prince Arthur died young - soon after his betrothal to Catherine of Aragon. A man who was very closely connected to Prince Arthur was Bishop William Smith or Smyth, of Lincoln, who was of The Ancient Family of Smith of Lancashire. William Smyth/Smith was educated at Knowsley, under the roof of Margaret Stanley (wife of the Earl of Derby) - no less a woman than the mother of Henry Tudor and grandmother to Prince Arthur. Bishop William Smyth (Smith) became Lord President of the Council of Wales. The sixth son of the marriage between John Roberts and Margaret Johnson was also named John Roberts, styled as "of Bristol and Wysterley". He married Mary Chester, daughter of William Chester of Bristol. A son (and heir) to this marriage was another John Roberts, who married Margaret Boteler (Butler) - a daughter of the noble line of Ormond, which was a title shared in Tudor times (by way of favour and disfavour) between the Butlers and the Boleyns, the latter family being that of King Henry VIII's second (beheaded) wife, Anne Boleyn and mother of Queen Elizabeth Tudor. The seventh son of the marriage between John Roberts and Margaret Johnson was Henry Roberts and he it was who married Elizabeth Baynham, believed to be the daughter of Robert Baynham of Yate in Gloucestershire. Their son, Thomas Roberts "of Ashford" Salop., was born in about 1576.
