Biography
Stanley was born in 1782 in Russell, Virginia to Joseph Andrew Hatfield and Rachel Smith; his brother, Eli, was born in the same year, however, it is unknown if they were twins or not. He lived in Virginia with his twelve siblings along with a few of his older half-siblings (most likely).

He married Anna Comstolk on August 16, 1808 in Knox, Kentucky at the age of 25. As of 1812, the family lived in Tennessee. Stanley enlisted on September 23, 1813 in Campbell, Tennessee as a private in the War of 1812. At this point, Anna and Stanley had had five children named Nancy (b. 1809), Elizabeth (b. 1809), Frances (b. 1811), Reuben (b. 1812), and Mary (b. 1812). Elizabeth and Nancy, as well as Reuben and Mary are not twins because they were born in different places (Elizabeth & Mary in Kentucky, and Nancy and Reuben in Tennessee). It is likely that while Stanley was enlisted, Anna moved back to Kentucky along with their children. It is unknown when Stanley came home, however, records state that Anna and Stanley had a son named William who was born in 1814, so it is likely that Stanley came home before then.

Anna and Stanley also had five other children, including Hekekiah (b. 1818), Sarah (b. 1820), Nelson (b. 1826), Delamie (b. 1827), and Isaac (b. 1828). Unfortunately, Stanley died in 1827 in Whitley, Kentucky at age 46. However, that same site (FindAGrave) also states that Stanley's date of death is not established.
