Hi all. OK, I am stuck. I recently found several LDS records on line and another researcher who say that Capt. John Stone who was killed by Indians which basically started the Pequot War in Connecticut, was the father of William Stone. What proof is there that he is the father of William Stone, the 3rd gov. of Maryland- born abt 1603- died 1660 in Md, who was married to Verlinda Cotton Graves. I've reviewed several histories which don't mention children-- one review said that John Stone was described by Puritans as a 'drunkard, lecher, braggart, bully and blasphemer- smuggler privateer and that he may have practiced cannibalism in the Caribbean. I'd love to learn more. Perhaps, if William was a son- this helps to understand William's stand against the puritans during his role as a leader in early Maryland. Help---- any proof out there? debbie deem (related through the William and Conway Stone line of North Carolina.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An Australian entered a bar and stood beside a Scotsman. "Where are you from, pal?" asked the Scotsman, after they had chatted for a while. "I'm from the finest country in the whole wide world." Said the Australian. "Are you?" said the other, "you have a damn funny accent for a Scotsman." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am looking for the Jefferson Davis (JD) Stone line. I don't know too much other than they were from Kentucky. JD was born in 1861 in Clinton KY; died in 1939 in Hickman County KY. In 1883, JD married Mollie Frances Allison. JD's father, Joseph Henry Stone, and mother, Louisa Jane Melton, were also from Kentucky (I think). I have hit a road block. Older family members seem to think that Joseph's father, John Stone, was from Cork County, Ireland, and that he came to the US in the early 1800's. Looking for a John Stone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I would appreciate any help out there. Staci Wittenauer

I'm interested in the Md. Stones, also. My gr.gr.grandmother's maiden name was Mary Ann Stone and she was from Southern Md. She married John Bicksler and they resided in Washington, D.C. Has anyone come across this Mary Ann Stone in their research? I'm finding it very difficult to find any information pertaining to her family. Thank you for any information you may be able to provide me with.

GSC Can you give some more information on these 2 Stone lines. My 4th grt-grandfather Adam Stone, lived and died in Sharpsburg. Washington Co. Md in 1791. He was in Pa then moved to Md. He had eight children, Three of his sons went to the area of Lexington, Ky. The two daughters married and went to Pa and Washington D.C. The other 3 sons were last know in the Maryland area but is unknown where. The three that went to Ky remained in the Fayette Co area until they died, the majority of their descendants all stayed there too. The data I have on Adam is limited until he was in Sharpsburg. Mainly due to the fact that prior to 1781 they used the family name of Stein. Which was the German translation. Bob Stone

I missed the beginning of this message. I'm researching John Stone (Rev. War Patriot) from North Carolina and he had a son William who married Rachel Morton. William's sons eventually went to Grayson, Wythe and Montgomery Counties, VA. Any connections? If not, does anyone else out there recognize this line? Thanks. Lynn Paden

A couple of months ago, I was made aware of an old family album containing 43 old photos and tin plates on e-bay. Not sure, but possibly of my wife's Potts. Most of photos appear to be from the Potts family from the Harrison County, IN area. Doesn't appear to be of Stone surname. However, after winning the auction and buying the album, we scanned and placed the photos on a web site for the Potts-L to enjoy and/or download. Might be an idea for the Stones...although limited in size, there are free sites that can be created. Or, maybe someone has a business site with enough capacity to host some Stone photos. I have always regreted that, although I have written information such as census data, I have no photos of my gr-grandfather (Charles W. Stone, 7/22/1848-10/12/1919, Bourbon County, KY) or earlier ancestors. For the future, for my line of Stones (and spouses) of Poynton Manor, I would be willing to contribute monetarily to procure or maintain in this effort. Just an idea...
