Hello Listers:         I'm new to the list and really, really need help.         Joseph STONE was born 1831-1833 Oxford, England (city or county is unknown). His parents are also unknown. However, he was NOT the son of Abraham and Mary Stone of Mapledurham, Oxfordshire, England. Joseph was in the US by 1850 as he is listed in the 1850 Sandcreek Twp, Jennings Co, IN census living in the home of William Stafford, who was born in PA         In 1853 in Jackson Twp, Decatur Co, IN, Joseph was married to Hypatia Raymond, daughter of Louis and Anna Rockefeller Raymond. Joseph and Hypatia's children were: Martha Ann, William Henry and Sophia Rosalee.         Who were Joseph's parents, when and where was he born? He is not listed in the 1841 Oxfordshire census.         I did find a license for a wedding of William Henry Stone and Emily Morrell 25 May 1830, at St. Clement's Church in Oxford. Did this wedding actually take place?          On Joseph's Civil War record he stated he was born in Oxford, England.  I have never been able to locate his passage to the US either alone or with his parents.         Thanks for your help.
