Do you know for sure if she was born in the USA or was she perhaps born in England? We have a Mary Elizabeth PHILLIPS, born 1823, Yaxley, Huntingdonshire, England. Daughter of Thomas PHILLIPS, born Yaxley. Married Edward Bauld (BALLS) STONE, believed to have been born in Dartmouth, Devon, England, in 1824. Arrived in Halifax Co., Nova Scotia, Canada c1854/55. While they stay and raised their family in Nova Scotia, Mary very often travelled to the USA and back to England. We have always wondered why and did she have family/friends in the USA. We can find no trace of one of their two daughters, Rebecca. Lots of details of the 7 sons and Alice. Rebecca was believed to have died young, then we found her on the 1881 census age 18. No death records in Nova Scotia, nor marriage record have been found as yet, for Rebecca. Edward's father (Edward) was also found living with the family, in 1881, at age 82. A couple of their sons settled in Cumberland Co, and Oxford Co., Nova Scotia. Later some family scattered to Ontario, BC, USA etc ... so if you think you may be from this STONE family, we would like to hear from you. We have an on-line STONE Family Community (12 members) of cousins, close and distant, who are combining their reseach info, to compile a more detailed family tree. Warmest regards ....

Lura PHILLIPS STONE )according to the census info I have) was born in Monroe county NY.....however I cannot find her. It is hard to trace these early women, the men are the ones who were accounted for. Trena I thank you for your response to my question.
