Hi, all, Since I have the same surname, I often get requests on information of the Stones of Surry Co., NC. Unfortunately, these are not my own Stone family, and I have not gathered information on the Stones of Surry. However, I hope that this information posted to the Stone family list on Rootsweb may help others who ARE connected to the Stones of Surry. Here is the posting I received. :-) Pam pamstone@cfl.rr.com ============================================= Sent from: jfrench <jfrench1@earthlink.net> Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 1:43 AM My apologies for creating confusion about the children of the 1790 William Stone who lived on Heather Creek in Surry Co., NC. My earlier email about this family was only intended to show that the revolutionary war pensioner, Ezekiel STONE, was not his son. I did not include all of William's children who were listed in his will. Below is a published transcription of his will that lists all of his children. The boys are listed in order of age from oldest to youngest, a frequent practice in wills. I would seriously question whether Hannah Conway was the wife of this William STONE who wrote his will in 1819. I think Hannah Conway was the wife of different STONE, the probable parents of the revolutionary war pensioner, CONWAY STONE. Revolutionary War Pensioner, Conway STONE, said he lived on Blues's [also Beloos/Blews---Pam] Creek when he was in Surry Co., NC. He married there in 1781. Revolutionary War Pensioner, zekiel STONE said he attended the wedding of Conway STONE in 1781 (his affadavit located in Conway's pension file at NARA). 1778 Delaney Herrin received a land grant in 1778 on Belews Creek 1779 James GAMMILL, Sr. . . . granted 800 acres of land on Blues Creek in Stokes Co., NC on December 10, 1779. 1782 Surry County Tax list CAPT. COOK'S DISTRICT with 280 A. on BELEWS CREEK John STONE with 1 poll. 1783 Hannah STONE married Daniel Barrow. They were living on Tom's Creek in 1795 when his brother, David, visited. David Barrow stayed with Elder John STONE at this time, waiting for Daniel to return home from Surry Court. >From North Carolina 1812-1814 MUSTER ROLLS 1812 - CONWAY STONE - listed in NC, Surry County Regiment, First Company [1790/Heather Cr.
