The 1880 Census of Boone County, Arkansas lists James Stone (43) and his wife Harriett (35) with children Mary (14) Gandus (11) James W. (9) Henry J. (4) and Tony E. (1) Members were born in Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina. In the same census, same county and year are a Wiley Stone (77) wife Candus (73) child Henry (15) and a Charlotte (71). Hope that helps.
