Biography

This family has an extensive history in "Maryland Genealogies, Volume II," accessible at ancestry.com, from which these notes are taken. I hope somebody has the interest in this family to fill out the ancestry.

Detmar Sternberg, "the ancestor of this family" (grandfather of this Thomas), came to Maryland (from Germany or Holland) in 1658 with his wife Renske and his son Tobias. He wrote his name Detmoore Stairnber in 1663 and Detmorus Sternberge in 1663. His wife was Renske, or Renscoe. The Land Office had him as Datmorus Sternber. He was raising tobacco in Baltimore in 1678 (Dodman Sternbrough).

Only one son was recorded, Tobias Sternberg, whose name standardized somewhat ias "Tobias Starnborough." Tobias acquired 100 acres land in Baltimore in 1671. "Tobias Stanborrow" was taxed on his tobacco crop in 1681. "Tobias Starnborough" was member of a Grand Jury in 1683. In 1688 he acquired 135 acres on the north side of Patapsco river ("Tobias Sternbridge") and in 1692 "Tobias Starnbarrow" was taxed in that area. He was taxed as "Tobias Starnborrow" in 1694 and another 185 acres were surveyed for him in 1695 ("Tobias Sternbrow.") He was a ranger - "Tobias Standborrow." He died in 1709. Richard Gorsuch was his chief creditor. His wife Sarah Starnbrough was administratix and her brother Luke Raven was mentioned as her brother. Her second husband was Enoch Spinks.

The oldest sons were twins: Daniel and Thomas, born 1678.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Thomas by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Thomas:

The Will of Thomas Stansbury, Sr. is transcribed on this page: https://www.colonial-settlers-md-va.us/getperson.php?personID=I088778&tree=Tree1

Since his Will contains not only the names of his children, but the names and lot numbers of the tracts of lands that they inherited, it may help sort out this family.

If Siblings on profile are incorrectly connected, they should be removed. Sourcing that lead to this profile should be shared.

Because the proposed merge will require a choice of parents and siblings between parents and siblings of Stansbury 240 and 267, that choice can be made before the merge. I've deleted the connection between Stansbury-267 and its parents and siblings to make the proposed merge understandable. Sure , more research is required before merge, but since the merge is proposed already, my strategy seems reasonable and research can still proceed.

After looking into this a little further, based on birthdates, it looks like Stansbury-267 may be connected as a son to his grandparents. The siblings on that profile may also be incorrectly connected.

Does anyone have any information that confirm this theory?

Stansbury-267 and Stansbury-240 appear to represent the same person because: As I said in the original merge proposal: It is probable that either the dates & locations on one of these are incorrect, or one of them is connected to the wrong parents.

Deserves a look. :-)

If you're not a Profile Manager or interested in working to research this, please don't reject this merge. These two profiles are either the same person, with one attached to the wrong parents, or they are different people, and the dates and locations on one of them need to be corrected.

Thanks!

Stansbury-267 and Stansbury-240 do not represent the same person because: These profiles are connected to different parents.

Stansbury-525 and Stansbury-240 appear to represent the same person because: Very little information for -525, but the birth year and death year are the same, plus the same mother.

Stansbury-260 and Stansbury-240 appear to represent the same person because: Quite obviously the same person. Also "Genealogy of the Stansbury Family: 1658-1938" by Iva Schefel and J. L. Stansbury, written in 1942 lists the following six children:

Daniel Stansbury, born 1678; died April 1763. Thomas Stansbury, twin of Daniel, born 1678; died 1766. Luke Stansbury, born 1689; died 1742. Tobias Stansbury, born 1691; died 1764. Samuel Stansbury, born 1709; died 1784. Tabitha Stansbury, born 1709.
