Thomas Memorial Marker - Thomas Stanton Society

A memorial stone was placed at Thomas Stanton’s and Anna Lord’s resting places by The Thomas Stanton Society in 1995. It was designed by Bernard Stanton in the tradition of colonial America. Traditionally the reunion group visits the site.

Sam, Lauryn, and Josh sprinkle tobacco on the grave, an old Indian custom.
Bernard J. Stanton kneels beside the gravestone he designed for his ancestors Thomas Stanton and Anna Lord, two of Stonington’s founders. The new gravestone was unveiled at ceremonies in Wequetequock Cemetery, Stonington CT, during the annual Stanton and Denison family reunion, August 4, 1995.
