THE DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS' STANTON'S FIFTH SON, ROBERT2 STANTON.
9. Robert2 Stanton (son of Thomas1), b. 1653, in Pequoit Conn.; m. Joanna Gardiner, Sept. 12,1677; she was the dau. of Thomas and Lucy (Smith) Gardiner of Roxbury, Mass., and sister to Dea. Thomas Gardiner of Roxbury. Robert" lived and d. in Pawcatuck, Stonington, Conn. He was a soldier in King Philip's War, as were his older brothers Capt. John2 and Joseph2. The following story has Robert for its hero:
"Canonchet, chief sachem of all the Narragansets, was an active ally of Philip's in his war. While camped on the banks of the Pawtucket, the Indians were attacked by a force of English and Indians. Canonchet's warriors fled. Left alone, he too sought safety in flight. The Indian allies of the English and a few of the fleetest-footed whites pursued him. As ne ran he threw off his blanket, then his silver-laced coat and belt of peag. Seeing these, his pursuers knew whom they followed, and increased their efforts. In crossing the river ford he fell and wet his gun. This so discouraged him that he surrendered to those who first overtook him. Being questioned by the young man who first came up to him, and who was not yet 22 years old (this was Robert Stanton), the warrior looked with lofty contempt upon his youthful enemy and answered: 'You are a child you cannot understand matters of war; let your brother' [Captain 3 John8] 'or your chief come; him will I answer.' Canonchet was taken prisoner to Stonington and shot."

Robert d. Oct. 24, 1724, and was buried in the old family burial ground on the east side of Wicketequack Cove, half way between Stonington, Conn., and Westerly, R I. Robert's wife survived him.
