Stanclift Family
|

|


|
|
The Stanclifts were one of the earliest and most influential of the carving families of the lower Connecticut River Valley. Their work extends from the late 1600s into the nineteenth century and includes five generations of carvers. The various Stanclifts worked in sandstone; that used for stones in eastern Connecticut came from their great quarry in Portland.
William Stanclift (1686-1761) was the oldest son of James I. Like his father he carved in capital letters, and some of his stones also have evenly rounded tops. William, however, produced stones with designs, including some delightful folk-skulls and Halloween-like faces. His more common stones are shouldered and have nicely executed but simple rosettes in the finials. He used the “thorn” in his legends, which James I never did. William’s stones are distributed throughout the Connecticut River Valley even into Massachusetts and also along the coastal areas of eastern Connecticut.
From: Slater, James A. The Colonial Burying Grounds of Eastern Connecticut and the Men Who Made Them. Memoirs of the Connecticut Academy of Arts & Sciences, vol. 21. Hamden, Connecticut: Archon Books, 1987.

|  | | ZincsMarketed as 'white bronze'. zinc monuments were popular from the late 1800s until World War I, when the factories turned to munitions output for the war effort. With four removable panels, updating family information was easy and economical. Many of these monuments look brand new after more than one hundred years in the elements of New England. |

|  | | ObelisksWhen Napoleon had the Luxor obelisk brought back to Josephine in 1831, it began a new craze in funerary art around the world. In the latter half of the 1800s, obelisks began to appear in many local cemeteries. |
