Greetings everyone, My name is Wayne Hendon and I am pleased to be your new Stone list administrator. This list is fairly large....over 400 subscribers. Effective today, this list is now moderated, which means that only subscribers may post on it. Non-subscriber posts come directly to me and I will forward them to the list. We all have a common goal--to connect with others who may be able to assist with our Stone family research. This is accomplished best if the list is active. Since it is early in the new year, I urge all to post your Stone interests. I administer several other rootsweb lists and realize that problems can sometimes arise. Therefore, please remember that no personal chatting is permitted on the list. If you wish to communicate with a particular subscriber, write them directly. Also, jokes, forwards, spamming, virus warnings, or anything not pertaining to Stone genealogy are not permitted. Are you aware that this list is fully archived and is searchable? Every message sent since 1997 can be reviewed. See: http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl If I may assist in any way, please let me know. GOOD LUCK in your research! Sincerely, -Wayne Hendon STONE QUARRY...The Descendants of James Stone http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hendon/stone/

Thanks for taking on the job. Sounds like you'll do a good job. Do you want our "brick wall" inquires to take any particular form? I do hope people will put in state and county if they know it. Thanks again. Cora

Hello, Below, is a brief sample of my husband's STONE / ACREE line. Looking for the Indian connection to STONE. Have been looking for a Cherokee connection. Could it be Creek instead? Does anyone connect? Jim's line is continued on from the first born, Mary Susan Cathaline STONE / Acree.

Hi Cora, I noticed you have MATHESON as a surname. Is it connected to any MATHESON from Prince Edward Island Canada? I ask as my great-grandfather, William STONE of Halifax Co. Nova Scotia married a Mary Jane MATHE(W)SON of PEI. She was born c1867. Daughter of Kenneth MATHE(W)SON and Rebecca Elizabeth JENKINS. Surname spelling has been debated for years. Mary Jane had two brothers, John and George (both ended up in British Columbia Canada) ... each spelled their suname differently. Cheers, Trena Heater .. Ontario Canada. ----- Original Message ----- From: "cora matheson" <hopering@mcn.org> To: <STONE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 12:39 PM Subject: Re: [STONE] From list administrator > Thanks for taking on the job.

Congratulations Wayne. My STONE interests are: (& looking for descendants) Current descendants know my 2x great-grandfather as, Edward Bauld STONE born 1823, England (whereabouts not known, but was thought to have been Yaxley, Huntingdonshire) Under the name Edward BALLS, in 1849 he married Mary Elizabeth PHILLIPS, born 1824 Yaxley Huntingdonshire, daughter of Thomas PHILLIPS and ?. Edward STONE is named as father of Edward BALLS, on marriage certificate ... there is NO mistake about this, it is clearly written. First two sons, Edward (b1851) and Robert (b1853) in Yaxley area and daughter Alice (b1855 - place unknown). Birth records for both Edward and Robert show BALLS as surname but .. 1851 census shows family using the STONE surname, lodgers in Thomas PHILLIPS' home, in Yaxley. Edward and Mary with three children in tow, arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia c1855/56. They farmed on the Cobequid Rd., Lower Sackville, Halifax County, where they eventually raised their 6 sons and one daughter. Another daughter, Rebecca died in infancy. Both Edward and Mary are buried in All Saints Cemetery, Bedford NS, 1908 & 1910 respectively. Known to all the family as Edward Bauld STONE. Daughter Alice married (?) James KERR birth date & place unknown. They settled in Spokane, Sponkane Co., Washington (state), where they died .. Alice 17th January 1942 and James 29th July 1922. Mary Elizabeth Phillips STONE was known to have travelled to the US many times, accompanied by Alice/other female companion. Majority of descendants still in Nova Scotia, though some of us are elsewhere in Canada. Anyone with any knowledge is asked to make contact.
