Hi, This is my first posting to this list although I've been subscribed for several weeks. I am researching William Patrick Stone born about 1814 in Tennessee, married 1838 to Amanda Susan Ragan in Hinds Co., Mississippi and died 6 Dec 1855 in Delta, Louisiana. The only clue I have as to his father is a William A. Stone who is found in Hinds Co MS in 1847, b about 1790. William Patrick named one of his sons James Armstrong so I've assumed the William A. may be William Armstrong. Also a Thompson E. Stone was in the household of William Patrick Stone in the 1850 US Census of Madison Parish LA. Thompson was shown as a "student" and born in 1832. I thought he might be a nephew as he seems too young to be William Patrick's brother. Another son of William Patrick's was named Coleman. I have found Coleman Stones in Wilson Co., TN but can't make any connection to the MS family. Any help appreciated. Peggy Price
