Thank you for stepping in and keeping the list going. My Stones have been a bit challenging to track, moving around in different counties but staying in southwest Virginia for the most part. My husband and I share a common ancestor, John Jessee in Russell Co. VA. John’s son, James, is my husband’s ancestor and John’s daughter, Frances, who married William Stone is my ancestor. William and Frances Jessee Stone were both born about 1789 and moved from southwest Virginia to Sullivan Co. Missouri somewhere around 1830-1840. Some of their family accompanied them, while my direct ancestors remained in VA. William and Frances are buried in Sullivan Co. William’s father may have been Jeremiah Stone, that is as far back as I go and have not determined names of any siblings William may have had. William and Frances Stone’s son, John Jessee Stone (born abt. 1810) married Rebecca Sergeant (born abt. 1810). John and Rebecca’s son, William Henry Stone (born abt. 1829) married Mary Jane Stanley. William and Mary’s son, Benjamin Franklin Stone (born abt. 1875-1877) married Mary Caroline Green (born 1883). Benjamin and Mary’s son, Jake Benjamin Stone, Sr. married Ethel Gertrude Collier, they are my grandparents.

Patricia, I also descend from John Jessee Stone and Rebecca Sargent. I descend from their son, Martin G. Stone who married Sarah "Sally" Pendleton, who made their home at Mabe, Scott Co, VA. Martin G. Stone and Sarah Pendleton's son, Samuel Stephen Stone married Nancy Horton. Their son, William James Stone married Bess Parsons of Wise. W.J. Stone and Bess Parsons were my g-grandparents, and I knew both of them. We have a picture of Samuel "Bad Sam" Stone. He had black hair, light-colored eyes, a full (not fat) face and a fair complexion. I've recently seen a picture of Samuel Stone's nephew, Everett Stone, and the resemblance is amazing! Everett Stone is a son of Ira Trigg Stone. My grandmother, Maisie Stone remembers her aunt and uncle, Mary Easter "Easter" Stone and Wm. Henry Jessee who lived in VA. Wm. Henry Jessee lived to be the incredible age of 100 or so. I'm wondering if you knew them? You're one of the closest Stone relations I've run across on the list, and it's nice to know you!
