Does anyone have access to the University of Maryland at College Park? There is a non-circulating collection of letters in their library: fifty pieces of correspondence to/from Lawyer William Briscoe Stone of Port Tobacco, Md (Charles county). He was son of Judge Michael Jenefer Stone (of the Poynton Manor Stones) and therefore nephew of Signer Thomas Stone and of that Governor John Stone. Most of these letters are legal business related but some are reputedly family correspondence with some of William's uncles. This info was obtained by internet search of library holdings in the area. Michael Stone, descendant of another William Stone (1780-1829) of Putnam County Georgia, who by some accounts was born in Maryland.

Anjanette, My information, I'm sure, is rather dated, but I'll hazard a response to your posting, if only to stir up further discussion: Anjanette Lofgren wrote: > I say Gov. Stone married Verlinda Graves. Verlinda is the sister to my ancestor, John Graves. Some (Newman, "Stones of Poynton Manor," 1934, and Stone, "Stones of Surry," 1951) say Verlinda was a Cotton, but I think the preponderance of evidence favors Graves. What is your source? > Someone told me that my ancestor, Francis Doughty, married Bridgett Stone (whom I decsend from), and I found her name on a web page as being sister to Gov. Stone. So far, no one has been able to confirm this. He married 2nd, Ann Graves. According to Elliot Stone ("Ancestry of Governor William Stone," NEHGR 49:315-316), Governor William had a sister, Bridget. However, this article does not cite any proof. Newman lists five brothers and sisters for William, but does not include a Bridget in the list. Incedentally, one of my co-workers, who is heavily into genealogy, is also a descendant of Francis Doughty. His surname (would you believe it) is Doughty. > I show Gov. Stone had a 2nd wife, Elizabeth Spriggs or Hawkes. I was first told that their children were Thomas, Richard, and Elizabeth. I have also been told that all 7 children of Gov. Stone are from Verlinda Graves (Cotton). > Messed up! Gov. William's sister, Catherine, married Thomas Sprigg, which is probably why we have a reference to Sprigg and William's brother (or brother in law). In his will, William named his wife, Verlinda. One problem in all this, is (unless somebody has a better idea), we don't know if William's father was John or Matthew. The only thing we know for sure is that his grandfather was Richard of Twiston (or Croston). Can anyone shed any light on this business? An interesting aside: William's brother Captain John was apparently something of a renegade, having been accused of piracy in Connecticut and having been killed there in 1634 in the Pequot War. For the whole story, see R. C. Anderson, "The Great Migration Begins," pp. 1767-1768. Richard Bingham

I have been trying to figure this one out for awhile. I say Gov. Stone married Verlinda Graves. Verlinda is the sister to my ancestor, John Graves. Someone told me that my ancestor, Francis Doughty, married Bridgett Stone (whom I decsend from), and I found her name on a web page as being sister to Gov. Stone. So far, no one has been able to confirm this. He married 2nd, Ann Graves. I show Gov. Stone had a 2nd wife, Elizabeth Spriggs or Hawkes. I was first told that their children were Thomas, Richard, and Elizabeth. I have also been told that all 7 children of Gov. Stone are from Verlinda Graves (Cotton). Messed up! Thanks for the info. I am going to save it!

Wow, Joe, that Stone family page is great! I'm a descendant of Deacon Gregory Stone (of Massachusetts) through my mother's side - a family that doesn't appear to be part of your page, but may be related to the Bromley Stones (I'll have to check my research). And I'm a descendant through my father's side of a Stone family that ended up in Frederick County, Maryland. If anybody has any information on any of the following people (each being the son of the next in the list) I would really appreciate it: William Owings Stone (b. 1907, Frederick Co., Md; d 1992, Barrington, RI) m. Margaret Rebecca Simpson (b. 1905; d. 1983, Barrington, RI) Dr. Daniel Edwin Stone (b. 1876; d. 1920, Emmitsburg, Fred. Co., Md) m. Elizabeth Hammond Downey (b. 1879; d. 1951, Emmitsburg, Fred. Co., Md) Dr. Daniel Edwin Stone (b. 1839; d. 1924) m. Rebbeca McGruder Owings (b. 1835; d. 1920) William Hough Stone (b. 1801; d. 1876) m. Cordelia Norris (d. 1897) Daniel Stone (b. __; d. __) William Stone (b. __; d. __) Thanks so much, Owings Stone [email protected]

I am not a professional genealogist. The e-mail directories are included in the research and please contact them. They are serious Stone researchers and are aware of what I am doing. I do have faith in my own research and if you contact other reasearchers I am sure they will back up my facts to this list. I know that it takes the Stones of this line pretty far back but it is as factual as I have it right now. Enjoy and GODS SPEED, Joe Payne

Hi, All! In tracing our Stone ancestors, we have the following so far: Current: Albert STONE, b. 1929, Ont. CANADA, son of STONE, Alfred Walter, b. 1899, Southhampton, UK, son of STONE, Frederick, b. 1862, Southampton, UK, son of STONE, Thomas, b. 1818, Wyke, Dorset, UK, who moved to Southampton after marrying Esther BRINE in 1848 in Alverstoke, Hampshire, England. The info we have so far is at http:/www.cyber-surfer.com/OURROOTS.HTM. We are desperately seeking any and all information about this family - all contact between the UK and Canadian branches was lost decades ago, so almost nothing is known here about the siblings, ancestors, emigration of descendents, etc. All and any information and/or leads would be greatly appreciated!

It has been a long time since I posted but since we have so many new Stones out there, I thought I would ask if I can connect with anyone. I actually have two Stone families since cousins apparently married. Rufus Fulton Stone, b. 02 Sept 1847 in Winchester VA, married Rebecca Ann Stone b. 13 Apr 1842, Lens Creek, VA (now WV) Rufus apparently was in the Confederate Army but I have no idea of regiment, company, etc. I assume he served from Virginia. Any ideas or help? Rufus' parents were Hiram Stone, b. ca 1815 in NC, and Margaret (or Peggy) _____. Hiram and Margaret died one month apart, he dying 21 Feb 1863 and she dying 27 Jan 1863. Rebecca Ann's parents were Richard Stone, b. 1812, Bedford Co., VA and Mary Polly Basham, b. 1817, Monroe Co., VA (now WV). I have much information on their descendents and am trying to find out some ancestors. Family lore and other sources say that Richard Stone is descended from William Stone, early governor of MD and from Thomas Stone who signed the Declaration of Independence but I am unable to verify. I will, of course, be delighted to share any information I have which will help anyone else. Peace and Blessings [email protected] Ethel Stone Adams

I am researching a Samuel Phillips who married Sarah STONE in Turnham Green, Chiswick, Middlesex, England probably about 1830. Samuel came to Buffalo, New York about 1830 and Sarah and their son Samuel (or Simon) came in 1832. Samuel and Sarah were born about 1795. Sarah's father was Samuel STONE. Their children included the above Samuel (or Simon) born about 1831, Joseph born about 1836 in Buffalo, who moved to Algona, Iowa and married a Mary Ellen Mack. He was in the Civil War from Green bay, Wisconsin where he also lived. George, born about 1838 and who lived in Green Bay, Wisc. also and was also in the Civil War. I don't know whom he married. Florence (or Francis) born about 1833 who married James Scott. Sarah, born about 1840 who married Hiram Harlow in 1866 in Green Bay. I would be interested in learning of anyone researching any Phillips in the Buffalo and/or Green Bay area.

Hello All, I'm sorry to be posting this to the groups we belong to but it's a very important mater! We have been having a lot of problems with a email stalker for 5 months now. He now has a new way to stalk us, and that is through the groups we belong to. He slandered our family names; SCOTT & STONE to the SCOTT group. Today on my husbands LACEY line he has miss lead a nice researcher saying we have info. to help her in her search that we do not have. Which in my opinion is very sad thing to do to any researcher. This guy we do not know except through his harassment of our family. He also knows nothing about our family or the information we have or do not have. By posting this we hope to stop any other's hopes he may miss lead. Or any other family names he may slander of our families. His name is: Curt Gaines from PA. Not the name he signs on his letter's which is: Carl Haines. His email add. is: [email protected] Voice net abuse has been advised, and kept up to date of all his harassment's about this matter since Jan., and they are investigating. If you receive a email from him concerning us, or our family please forward it to me so I may forward it to voice net abuse to add to there file. Warmest Regards Sherrie Smith [email protected]
