!Birth:? Listed in the Beverly births under Groce is a Lydia, Feb 15,1800.
P.R. 133. Could this be her birthdate entered at a later date. Thiswould
correspond to her given age at death in 1831, age 31 years. There is no
listing of a Lydia Standley born in Wenham at that time, if she was bornin
Wenham. There is listed in Beverly, Standly, Lydia, d. Nehemiah andLucy,
Feb. 15, 1800. This corresponds to the date listed under Groce forLydia. I
believe from this information, the two Lydias are the same. This could
account for her naming her daughter Lucy Dodge, her mother's maiden
name.

!Isaac C., s. Isaac C. and Lydia (Standley), Aug. 21, 1821. P.R.13.

!Standley, Isaac Chapman, s. Nicholas and Lydia, bp. July 10, 1831.C.R.3.
Was this baptism done as a sign of adoption by his stepfather, Nicholas.
With the birth of Levi in December, Isaac's half-brother, perhaps Lydia
developed health problems and to ensure a home for Isaac, he was adopted
by Nicholas. Lydia eventually died in August of that year. This is only
speculation, no proof, and it appears if the adoption did take place that
Isaac chose his original last name when he came of age.
