All data from Stancliff. His older brother, James Stanclift, Jr., wasgranted a letter of Administration on his estate on July 1, 1746 fromthe Probate Court in Hartford, CT . That letter was registered withthe Essex County, MA Probate Court . The Probate papers do notmention a widow and indicate that William Stanclift of Middletown wasengaged in the West Indies trade.

Some of his property was atthe time of his death, located in Salem, MA and his brother, James wasobliged to travel to Salem to settle that portion of the estate.While the inventory amounted to over # 177-00-00, William'senterprises were financially overextended and he was declaredinsolvent at the time his inventory was presented to the Court on June2, 1747.
