: There are numerous Stephen Stones. I am a descendent of Stephen Stone Sr. of : Gallatin, Tn and Kezziah. I come through son Nicholas and his Grandson Stephen : Stone (who was my gggrandfather).

It will be August 29, 1999 and this will be the 4th one. : It will begin at 10:00 and end at 4:00. It is open to anyone that is : interested. D. Lapierre Ballard has done a masterful job consolidating the : Stone information for our branch. His papers list at least 7 Stephen Stones : of various generations. There are at least 6 Micajah's of various genertions. : William Stone 1700-1765 had at least these following children. : 1. Eusebius Stone 1732-1798 : 2. Jeremiah Stone 1742-1827 : 3.

William Stone 1755-1797, married Elizabeth ???? : : The Stone family appears to have been a religous one. They appear associated : with the Quakers and the Methodists. They also recycled their names a lot so : you have to watch where they crop. The two that are unusual and a key that : you are in the line are Micajah and Eusebius (also probaby Manoah but I have : not run across anybody researching that line. : There are several very competent and knowledgeable tracing the line, with : D. Lapierre Ballard doing an excellent job of consolidating information. Here : are some that I have ran across that are in this group. Robert Jernigan, Sue : Jernigan Wilkinson, (both descendents of Nicholas Stone the Quaker), Andrea : Alonzo and Timothy Coffin Ward (they seem to be knowledgable of the Micajah : Stone line), Robert Abbot (William Stone line) and Madeline Huff for the : Lovings that were intermarried with the Stones.
