(Standiford) was first found in Virginia about 1657 where Vincent Standiford lived on 200
acres of land on the north side of the Rappahannock River, running west to a branch of the
Corotoman River in Lancaster County. He was thought to be the progenitor of the
Standifords who came to Baltimore, now Harford County. He had a son William who was the
first to come to Maryland. He was born in about the middle of the 1600s. In Maryland, he
