Hi, Bob -- You wrote: >Looking for genealogy of Richard and Myrtle Stone of Beaver Co., >Pennsylvania. >Their daughter, Florence Juanita was born approximately 1920. Her >brother's name was also Richard. I have a g-g-grandfather, Richard Stone (1799-1876) who was born in Mifflin County, Pa. His father, Richard Leander Stone, was on the 1800, 1810, and 1820 census records in Mifflin County. I believe in served in the Revolutionary War, but the records are not conclusive. His children were John (1793), George (1795), Lydia (1797), Richard (1799-1876), James (1800), Mary (1802), William (1804), Margaret (1811-1890), and twins Martha and Thomas (1817). George had all daughters and Richard's children were in Indiana or Illinois. That leaves John, James, William, and Thomas who might have passed on the name Richard to their sons and on to grandsons. Just possibilities. Debbie at <hasson@capa.net> has possible g-g-grandparents, Thomas W. and Minnie Stone in Vanport, Beaver County, Pa.. She says a 1900 census has among the children of Thomas and Minnie, a son Richard A. (listed elsewhere as Arthur R., dob 1882). With the names Richard and Thomas, perhaps these could be descended from Richard Leander. There is one other Richard Stone who appears on early Pennsylvania census records. He was in Easton, Northhampton County, Pa. when he applied for a Rev. War pension. I have copies of his pension papers which contain a great deal of information. In 1820 he stated that he had nine children living, the youngest being 13 years of age. A Mrs. L. D. Musgrave, Apt. 321, The Portner, Washington, D.C. inquired about this Richard Stone in 1923. Let me know if any of this fits. Have not been able to get further than Richard Leander Stone. Don ************************************************************** Don E.
