=== Life Sketch ===
William de Stanley, the first Lord of Stoneley, in the county of Stafford, is recorded to have had a son named William, by Joanna Stanley of Stafford, who succeeded his father William in the feat and manor of Stanley, and part of Balterley, with their appurtenances.
William Stanley II, and son of the above William, is also recorded to have been Lord of Stanley, and to have had issue a son named William; but by whom, history and record are both silent, being very obscure and defective in those early times.
William Stanley III, and son of the above William II, is stiled Milite or Knight, and is recorded to have had issue two sons, viz. John and Adam, but by whom history as, well as :record are still silent ; neither do I find that John the elder son ever possessed the estate of Stanley, but died without issue, and that Adam the younger son succeeded his father Sir William, in the honour and estate, as is fully manifested hereafter.

=== This is all messed up ===
How did this come to be? Walter married to William??? Nat back in 1100! And the dates on Walters parents don't work, either. His mother would have been 50 or 60 years old when he was born. Also, his father was not born until AFTER both of his sons.
