♀Avis (surname unknown)

Dates not yet known.

Avis was the wife of Robert Stanton (1599–1672) of Newport, in the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence PlantationsW, and the mother of John Stanton, whose birth at Newport in August 1645 is entered in the records of the Newport Friends as “of Robert and Avis”. She was the eighth great-grandmother of Frederic Roger Curtis (1928–2007), through her son John Stanton (1645–1713). No record of her parents has been found, and her surname is not known. The entry of her son’s birth gives nothing more about her: not when or where she was born, when she married, or when she died. John is the only child of the couple that the records name. Her husband died at Newport on 29 August 1672, aged seventy-three; the records do not say whether she outlived him.
