Has anyone been able to link this with Anthony's line.

Also, anyone been able to locate on a map of the possible land that was owned by the family until the Death of Nicholas Stoddard as stated below

"William Stoddard came from Normandy to England, A. D. 1066, with William the Conqueror, who was his cousin. Of his descendants we find record of Rukard Stoddard, of Nottingham, Kent, near Eltham, about seven miles from London Bridge, where was located the family estate of about four hundred acres, which was in possession of the family in 1490, how much before is not known, and continued until the death of Nicholas Stoddard, a bachelor, in 1765. From him the line is: Thomas Stoddard of Royston; John Stoddard of Gundon; William Stoddard of Royston; John Stoddard of Royston; Anthony Stoddard of London; Gideon Stoddard of London; Anthony Stoddard of London; William Stoddard of London. Anthony Stoddard, of London, emigrated to Boston Bay Colony, Massachusetts, about 1639. The name is derived from the office of standard bearer, and was anciently written 'De La Standard.'"

Did you ever find the link? I once saw a link from William to Ruckard on line somewhere, but I can't find it again.. Geni (at least some of that is your doing - thanks!) gets me from Ruckard to John Stodder (arr. Hingham MA 1638), my grandfather had the line from John to me. I know Anthony's line is significant (several Stoddards who live near me are his descendents), and I've wondered where Anthony's line and John's diverged.

I am finding info from In the office of Heraldry, England, the following origin of the Stoddard family is found: William Stoddard, a knight, came from Normandy, France to England, A.D. 1066. There appears to be several terms in French for the Stoddard name. Such as Sto'dard I have not been able to verify as of yet. Here is another link that has the name going back a little further.
