"The first settler of the family in Virginia was William Stanard,
who was a prominent citizen of Middlesex County during the latter part of the seventeenth century. About 1677 he married Eltonhead Conway, widow of Henry Thacker and daughter of Edwin Conway, of Lancaster County, representing a family of high rank. She was the niece of the wives of three Council members, and also of the wife of Governor Sir Henry Chicheley. William Stanard was a vestryman of Christ Church Parish. He and his wife, Eltonhead, had three children. The youngest of them, named William, was born February 16, 1682, and died in 1732. For seventeen years prior to his death he was clerk of Middlesex County, and, like his father, was a vestryman in Christ Church parish. His first wife was Anne Hazelwood, who left him a daughter, Ann. In 1717, he married Elizabeth Beverly, daughter of Capt. Harry Beverly and maternal granddaughter of Maj. Gen. Robert Smith. Her paternal grandfather, Robert Beverly, came to the colonies in the seventeenth century. The Beverly family was one of much prominence in that section of Virginia. The only son of William and Elizabeth Stanard was named Beverly, and that name became increasingly popular in this family. The Stanard family was well to do, and the home was comfortably furnished, statements that were attested by some of the inventories of household property found in the wills of that generation." http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/stanard/126/ Here is the actual citations location of record:
