James Stanwix

Mary Stanwix was born at Virginia, USA. She was the daughter of James Stanwix. Mary Stanwix married John Mayfield, son of Abraham Mayfield and Elizabeth (?), in 1745 at Waxhaw Settlement, South Carolina, USA. Mary Stanwix died after 1790 at Union County, South Carolina, USA.
GWM;

JOHN STANWIX WAS THOUGHT TO BE THE FATHER OF MARY STANWIX. BUT I HAVE HAD RESEARCH DONE IN ENGLAND AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT JOHN STANWIX HAD TAKEN THE NAME OF HIS MOTHERS BROTHER, HON BRIGADIER GEN. THOMAS STANWIX, WHO HAD NO OFF-SPRING AND HAD REQUESTED JOHN TO TAKE HIS NAME OF STANWIX SO THE LINE WOULD NOT BE LOST.
IN HIS WILL DATED 12 MAR. 1742 HIS UNCLE NAMED HIM HIS BENEFICIARY OF HIS ENTIRE ESTATE, BUT JOHN HAD NO OFFSPRING BY HIS FIRST NOR SECOND WIFE. SO JOHN WAS NOT THE FATHER OF MARY STANWIX AS HAD BEEN REPORTED FOR THE LAST 80 OR 90 YEARS. I THINK HE WAS MAYBE A COUSIN OF MARY STANWIX AND AM HAVING IT RESEARCHED IN ENGLAND.
JOHN'S GIVEN NAME WAS JOHN ROOSS.
IN THE "DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY" IT HAS A LONG ENTRY ABOUT JOHN STANWIX, INCLUDING A STATEMENT THAT "HE WAS APPOINTED GOVERNOR OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT" IN MAY 1763. IT GOES ON AS FOLLOWS:
HIS FIRST WIFE HAVING DIED IN 1754, STANWIX MARRIED ON 20 APRIL 1763,A DAUGHTER OF MARMADUKE SOWLE, COMMISSIONER OF APPEALS IN THE EXCISE IN DUBLIN, BUT HAD NO CHILDREN BY HER. ON 29 OCT 1766, AFTER MAKING SOME MILITARY INSPECTIONS IN IRELAND, HE LEFT DUBLIN FOR HOLYHEAD WITH HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER.
THE VESSEL, "THE EAGLE", WAS LEAKY WHEN SHE STARTED, AND WAS LOST AT SEA. HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO LONDON TO ATTEND PARLIAMENT, HAVING BEEN ELECTED M P FOR APPLEBY ON 8 APRIL 1761."
PREROGATIVE COURT OF CANTERBURY ADMINISTRATIONS"
2 DEC 1767 ADMINISTRATION OF THE ESTATE OF JOHN STANWIX ESQ. LATE LIEUTENANT GENERAL OF HIS MAJESTY'S FORCES AT SEA, A WIDOWER, DECEASED WAS GRANTED THOMAS CONNOR ESQ. THE NEPHEW AND ONLY NEXT OF KIN OF SAID JOHN STANWIX.
12 DEC. 1767 ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATE OF MARY STANWIX LATE WIFE OF HON. LT. GEN. JOHN STANWIX OF ST JAMES WESTMINSTER BUT AT SEA GRANTED TO LUCRETIA SOWLE WIDOW NATURAL AND LAWFUL MOTHER AND NEXT OF KIN.

BRIGADIER JOHN STANWIX WAS A BRITISH SOLDIER WHO BUILT FORTS FOR DEFENCE. HE BUILT ONE IN 1758 WHICH WAS CALLED FT. STANWIX IN HONOR OF HIS NAME. (THE STARS AND STRIPES WERE FIRST RAISED IN BATTLE AT FT. STANWIX.)
AFTER THE DEATH OF GEN. FORBES IN MARCH OF 1759, GEN. AMHERST APPOINTED BRIGADIER GEN. JOHN STANWIX TO REPLACE HIM.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, WHO WAS ENGAGED TO A WELL-TO-DO WIDOW, MARTHA CUSTIS, AND HAD BEEN ELECTED TO THE VA HOUSE OF BURGESSES, RESIGNED HIS COMMISSION AND WAS SUCCEEDED BY COL. WILLIAM BYRD THE 3RD.
AFTER FORT DEQUESNE WAS DESTROYED BY THE FRENCH IN 1759, GEN. AMHERST APPOINTED BRIGD. GEN JOHN STANWIX TO FORTIFY THE FORTS OF THE OHIO BY REBUILDING FORT DEQUESNE. THE NEW FORT WAS CALLED FT. PITT.
GEORGE WASHINGTON SERVED UNDER JOHN STANWIX IN 1757-1758 WHEN JOHN STANWIX WAS A COLONEL. WASHINGTON WAS ATTEMPTING TO GUARD 350 MILES OF FRONTIER WITH 400 MEN WHOM HE DESCRIBED AS "ABANDONED MISCREANTS". DESERTERS WERE NUMEROUS, AND HE WROTE HIS SUPERIOR, COL. JOHN STANWIX THAT HE HAD ERECTED A GALLOWS NEAR 40 FT. HIGH (WHICH TERRIFIED THE REST EXCEEDINGLY) ALTHOUGH WASHINGTON ACTUALLY ONLY HANGED 2 DESERTERS ON HIS GALLOWS.
DEFECTIONS CONTINUED, AND HE INFORMED GOV. DINWIDDIE THAT WITHOUT REINFORCEMENTS, HE DID NOT EXPECT TO SEE LEFT ONE SOUL LIVING ON THIS SIDE OF THE BLUE RIDGE THE ENSUING AUTUMN.
INFOR. TAKEN FROM (THE AMERICAN HISTORY OF THE THIRTEENCOLONIES) ALSO FROM THE COMPENDIUM OF AMERICAN GENEALOGY. GEN STAN RETURNER TO ENGLAND AND WAS APPOINTED TO BE LT. GOV, OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT.
HE AND HIS SECOND WIFE AND HER DAUGHTER WAS LOST AT SEA, ON BOARD THE EAGLE. As of 1745,her married name was Mayfield. Her data record was Updated on 6 November 1997 by Glenn W Mayfield.
