Still getting over the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and am backed up in my mail. I can't identify the "W. Stone" shown in Donalds Twp. on the 1870 census. In looking at the census, I might tend to think this is William, son of Micajah Banister Stone. But, in looking at the family group in Donalds, I tend to believe they are all kin, and that this "W" is a brother to "G.G". Even that tends to fit with known data regarding two sons of Micajah Banister, except that his son George died in Anderson Co. in 1865. So I have to say that this family could indeed be kin to my own line, but I cannot see anything in my data or these census lists that would confirm it. Steve
