1784 - Henry Co., Va. - Joseph is on the tax list along with William Jr.[II], Richard, William Sr.[I](*does not pay a poll), John and Robert Stanley.* William Sr. has apparently aged off the poll tax list which indicates he is likely over 45 years of age placing his birth at 1734 or before. 19

1793-1800 -Burke Co,NC - There is no date on this record except "pre 1800". It is a tax list, Captain Lain's District, showing Joseph with one poll indicating that he is 21 years or older. Other names in this tax district are Swinfield Hill, William Hill, Ambrose Mullins and John Mullins.87
This date would be between 1791 and 1800. That is narrowed down as there are only 2 Josephs on the 1790 census index in North Carolina. One is in Guilford County and is Joseph Stanley married Catherine Helton. The other Joseph is Joseph Stanley who married a Sarah. Joseph who married Sarah moved from Guilford to Rowan and is associated with the Quaker Stanleys and he died in Rowan Co., NC in 1804. Hence, Joseph, of Burke Co., NC, was in Burke County after 1790 but before 1800 and would be the first of this family in Burke County, NC.

1800 - Burke Co., NC - Joseph shows on Burke County census with 2 males age 0-10, 1 male age 10-16, 1 male age 26-45(Joseph), 2 females age 0-10, 2 females age 10-16 and one female age 45 or older. Next to Joseph is R. Stanley or Rickles Stanley age 16-26 and quite obviously the son of Joseph, perhaps a younger brother, but likely a son as Joseph is the first of the family in this area. We know that R. is Rickles due to further records that show his name as Rickles. He is always near Joseph Stanley. 88

Other names nearby are: Thomas Baker, John Mullins Jr., Swinfield Hill and William Hill. This is the last year that Joseph is on a Burke Co., NC tax list. Joseph possibly aged off the poll tax list and since he does own property in Burke Co., NC, he will not be on anymore tax lists in Burke Co., NC.

1850 Aug 17 - Russell Co., Va. - Joseph is on the census in his son, George Stanley’s household #395 54th district. Joseph is age 93, and shows his place of birth as "not known." 92

Research: Joseph left Burke County after 1805 but before 1807, as he does not show on the 1807 tax list with Rickles. He is with his brother Richard on the Russell County 1810 Tax List taken in March 1810.

Joseph is likely the Joseph on the 1850 Russell County, Virginia census in the household of his son George age 93 placing Joseph's birth at ca 1757. His son George is 57 years of age placing his birth at ca 1793. 93

1787 - Jefferson Co., Va.(now Kentucky) - There is only one Joseph listed in Yantis 3 volume set of 1787 Virginia Tax Records. This Joseph has not been identified as of this time. There is a Joseph who died in Kentucky in 1793 and it may be this Joseph who is on the tax record in Jefferson Co., Va. There is a note in Surry County, NC dated February 12, 1793 that states the following:
