They are in the FamilySearch 1880 census in Valley, Reno Co., KS. One of their children was Joseph Stryker Stone from which line came Milburn Stone, "Doc" of Gunsmoke. Joseph is also in the 1880 census m. to Ann M. with 5 children. My line comes from a brother of Hargus of which there was two: Andrew and Lewis, who farmed in Marion Co., IA. Andrew went to Burrton, Harvey Co., KS to spend remainder of his days among some family. Problem is all three brothers named some of their children with same names and it's sort of frustating to sort out who belongs to whom! Andrew had a son named Hargus McNeil as well as his brother Lewis, born about a year apart. If you believe you have a connection, I've got more info none of which has been verified and needs to be.
