Curious as to whether or not, you've been able to find anything further about the Scottish Stoddards. I too have "heard" legends of Stoddard being a standard bearer for William but have found no specific evidence of such. Would love to find anything factual. My husband's line as far as we can tell goes through John of Wethersfield, CT which of course came from England. Any additional insight you could give to where in England would be helpful.
