• Notes

  May have fought in the Revolutionary War. According to the record, he was not on the Massachusetts rolls. He was also in the Vermont militia. A report to the Secretary of War shows a Claudius Stannard fought with the Connecticut militia and started receiving a pension on October 9, 1833 at the age of 70. Stannard, Claudius. Pay roll for 6 months men raised by the town of New Marlborough, Berkshire Co., Connecticut for service in the Continental Army during 1780; marched to camp Aug. 12, 1780; discharged Feb. 12, 1781; service, 6 mos. 5 days, travel included. May have died in Wilcox Corners, Mayfield, Cuyahoga Co., OH When a combination was created in the Kirtland area to withhold building stone from the Mormons, William Riley Hine rented Claudius STANNARD’s farm and quarry. He quarried most of the stone used in the building of the Kirtland Temple . “I rented Claudius Stannard's farm and stone quarry, two miles south of the temple in Kirtland. . I quarried and sold the Mormons the stone used in the construction of the temple, except a few of the large ones which came from Russell’s quarry. The night the meteors fell in 1833 [November 13], the Mormons sent men on horseback for miles about Kirtland to arouse the people. They got me up at three o'clock A.M. While the temple was building the workmen lived in temporary buildings. Prayer meetings were held mornings by the workmen for the success of the work before beginning their labors.” The Kirtland Temple was constructed using Berea Sandstone taken from the Stannard Quarry. Later, many other local historic buildings were built with stone from the same site. Visitors can see this beautiful wooded area by traveling approximately two miles south of the temple in Chapin Forest. Go south on S.R. 306 2 miles to Chapin Forest, a Lake County Metropark which will be on your right. Turn right again as soon as you enter the park and in front of you will be a quarry pond. Follow the gravel path north and you will find more evidence of stone removal. This was the Stannard Stone Quarry, one of several used as a source for temple stone.
