I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN county, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 35%.
Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.
Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).
The Stanton surname appears to be native Irish. There are 4,920 B and 2,197 M rcds both dating from 1742. Cornelius is a frequently used forename in Ireland. The family was likely 19th century Irish immigrants to the U.S.
Suggest you start searching 1880, 1900, 1910 and 1920 U.S. censuses for names, dates, and places.
Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
