Jerilyn comments:
(I had a Lura Stanley born November 1851 and a William A. Stanley born Dec. 1867 but they aren't listed as children in the pension file so must not belong to this family - In the 1880 census he lists this William as a son and in the 1900 census William of this age is living 2 doors away so I don't know what to think - surely he knows he had this son.  Perhaps he belonged to a sibling and he just called him a son. - my comments.)
