Forgot to mention that 1831 would fit since his son was born in 1861. I was told that Joseph's father, John Stone, came over here from Ireland "County Cork" in early 1800's but I have been unable to confirm this. Staci M.

Was yours born in the US? About what time period? Mine was born in England about 1831. He was in the US by 1850. Any connection? Carolyn
