Rebecca married Robert Lord in 1650, and had first son Robert in Apr. 1651. So she had to
be born before her father Christopher Stanley died in 1646 in Boston. Susannah and he were
married in 1624 in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire and came to America in 1635 in the
Eliz. and Ann. The Warne genealogy pg. 56 says Christopher died the same day his will was
written even though it was not probated until 3 years later. She had to be a child of
Susannah's first marriage simply because Susannah didn't marry Major Phillips
until 2 Sep 1650. Does this make sense to you. Her marriage date is shown in the book
Desc. of Thomas Lord pg. 356. Mjr. Phillips had children from his first marriage also.
There is a lot of confusion about the whole bunch. Apparently Sarah is the only child she
had by William Phillips. The rest were born before 1846 when Christopher died.
Hope this helps.
