David STANWOOD b. Feb. 19, 1788 Brunswick, ME who m. Caroline Peace LEE
On pg. 156 of the Stanwood genealogy (A History of the Stanwood Family in America by Ethel Stanwood Bolton publ. 1899) it gives a David STANWOOD b. Feb. 19, 1788 in Brunswick, Maine as "Col." and that he was a son of William Stanwood. I do not have a copy of that page however that gives his Parents names.
This Col. David Stanwood married on Dec. 31, 1816 to Miss Caroline Peace LEE of Brunswick. David was a lawyer in Brunswick until his death in 1834 it says.
There is a copy of his portrait as well.He looked very dark and scary. Or perhaps stern would be a better description.
Children of this couple are Charles Frederick STANWOOD b. April 1818
William Francis Stanwood b. April 1819 who married May 19, 1839 to Mary L. DONNELL of Bath (and probably related to my 5th grt. grandmother's family who also lived in the Bath area and whose sister Hannah Donald/Donnell/Dunnell married Dr. Samuel Duncan/Dunkin various spellings of Brunswick).
William Stanwood was a book-binder and had a business in Boston but soon moved it to Lewiston, ME. He died in Ellsworth, ME leaving 2 daughters it says.
Henry James Lee STANWOOD b. Dec. 1820 m. Ella Stone SWIFT. He too was a book-binder in Brunswick, was listed as an enthusiastic patriot and Mason. A source I found online says that Henry died in Fairfield Co., CT.
I don't know if that's true or not.
Harriet Jane Lee STANWOOD (1) b. Feb. 1822
Stephen Lee STANWOOD b. July 1825 d. 1831
Amasa Oscar STANWOOD b. Feb. 1827 m. later in life and lived in San Francisco, CA.
Harried Jane STANWOOD (2) b. May 1828 (did the first one above die young?)
Caroline Peace STANWOOD b. Nov. 1829 m. William DUNCAN of Malden (I'm guessing MA although it doesn't say).
George D. STANWOOD b. Aug. 1832 died while in Walkers Army in Nicaragua.
Hannah Maria STANWOOD b. June 1834. m. ____ GRIFFEN

If anyone can fill me in on who this Col. David STANWOOD's parents were in Brunswick, Maine (his father was William and also a lawyer is all I know), I would be most greatful.
Thank you.
