The Family of Alexandrine Macomb Stanton and Henry Stanton

From Find-A-Grave.

She was another daughter of U.S. General-in-chief Alexander Macomb.  (1808-1889).  She married HENRY STANTON  (1779-1856).  He was an officer during the War of 1812, Seminole War and Mexican War.

Their children:

FRANCIS STANTON  (1838-1859)  May have been in military.  Was assistant engineer  who died of illness at Fort Yuma, California.

GEN. WILLIAM STANTON  (1843-1927)  With the 43rd Ohio during the Civil War.  Also Blackfoot War and Spanish-American War.

ROBERT LEE STANTON (1846-1932)  This name sure jumped off the page for me.  He was baptized  at St. John's Episcopal Church, the "Church of the Generals."  Captain Robert E. Lee was his Godfather.  I found no indication, however, that he was ever in the military.
