Life Story of Alexander Scoby Standley and Philinda Upson Standley
(Compiled by George Burton Standley, November 8, 1931)
"My great-grandfather, Alexander Scoby Standley, was born in New Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey, 12 May 1800, the son of Richard and Elizabeth Stuls [sic] Standley. He came to Ohio with his father's family in the year 1818. There he bought a farm covered with timber. Each year he would clear a patch and cultivate it until the farm was all in good condition. He had no opportunity to attend school, but his burning desire to learn made him use every spare moment for study. At night the firelight would serve as his light. Through his persistance, he became well enough educated to teach school and was very well liked.
My great-grandmother, Philinda Upson, was born August 1, 1814, at Randolph, Portage County, Ohio, the daughter of Freeman Upson and Sally (or Sarah) Culver.

Alexander Scoby Standley brings the dairy industry to Utah
Our Pioneer Heritage Volume 9 Pioneer Cattle
The Deseret Livestock Company Emigrant's Guide
Although most of the families of the South Bountiful district made butter and cheese for their own use, they often bartered some for household necessities. The arrival of the Alexander S. Standley family in 1853 probably marked the beginning commercially of the dairy industry in the district. An island in the bend of the Jordan River furnished excellent pasturage for their twenty-five milk cows. Later, the lake water covered the pasture and the family abandoned their holdings. As the community herds increased, many families made weekly trips to Salt Lake City where they furnished regular customers with these products, and milk routes were established.

Early Recollections Of My Parents And Their Teachings
By Elizabeth Standley Osborn Osborn Benson [She was married to Osborn brothers.]
"My father, Alexander Scoby Standley, was born May 12, 1800, in the State of New Jersey. His early days were spent fishing near the mouth of rivers that emptied into the sea. At the age of seventeen, he moved to Ohio, then a new unsettled country. On the 19th of March, 1829, he married Philinda Upson. He was a hard working, saving man, she an economizing, hard working woman. They soon gathered around them the comforts of home. He was a staunch, political man, but disgusted with the religions of the day. He said they did not agree with the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Holy Bible, which he had been taught by his loving mother to believe. Mother tried to get religion, but none of the churches suited her until Elder James Emmett came teaching the doctrine of the Latter Day Saints.

Michael Standley Tells His Story
My father, Alexander Scobie Standley, was born May 12, 1800, at New Brunswick, New Jersey. He was put out to work as soon as he was old enough to earn his clothes; therefore, he never had a day's schooling in his life. When he was eighteen he went with his father to Portage County, Ohio. He obtained a book called The Young Man's Companion which contained the rules for reading, writing, arithmetic and grammar. With the aid of this book he educated himself sufficient that he was chosen to teach the district school. He obtained a small piece of land and in the summer spent his time clearing and fencing it. In the winter he taught school. He was also elected Justice of the Peace of that precinct.

Excerpt from the Journal of Alexander Scoby Standley
from Leslie Mikesell Wood:
I have not found any more parts of Alexander's journal, if there are any. I have in my possession two typed versions of the following journal, having minor differences. Both received from May Christensen, age 93, on 15 Sep. 1990. Contained in pages compiled by George Burton Standley, Nov 8, 1931. One titled "Exercise by O.D. Merrill From Alexander Scoby Standley Journal" I have only made a few typing and spelling corrections [hopefully I made no typo's]. Not having seen the original, I do not know if he wrote his name as Standley or Stanley in his Journal or if any mistakes in spelling were made by Alexander or the transcriber or typist. Alexander was a teacher so I think he would not have made many spelling or punctuation mistakes. I would like to see a photocopy of the original handwritten journal. LMW]
Journal:
"I, Alexander S. Stanley, born in New Brunswick, Middlesex county, New Jersey, being the eldest son of Richard and Elizabeth Stanley. My Grandfather Alexander Scoby Standley, whose name I bear, was slain in the war of the American Revolution in 1778. In 1818 I moved with my father's family to Portage County Ohio, where on the 19th day of March, 1829 I married Philinda Upson, daughter of Freeman and Sally Upson.
