Our Stanley family first appear in the southwest Virginia and North Carolina regions following the American Revolutionary War.  It is likely they lived in the area long before that (Stanleys appear in the area well into the 1700s), but the records of the region for that time are incomplete and/or ambiguous.  

Our branch of the family remained in the Appalachian mountains until the 1930s when James Calvin Stanley (my grandfather) joined the Army and met his soon-to-be wife Dolores Mae Boddice in Batlimore, Maryland.  James and Dolores had two boys which stayed in the Baltimore area. Their families live in the broader region to this day.
