STONE Martha Jane; Gananoque ON,CAN; 1845-1887 I am looking for information about my Gr. Gr. grand-mother and her family: She was Martha Jane STONE, b. May 13, 1845, d. Feb. 20, 1887 (I believe b. & d. Gananoque, ON, Canada). Her first husband was a WOOD or WOODS possibly John. 2nd husband Daley TRYON. Family lore tells me that she was related to Col. Joel STONE, b. Aug. 7, 1749, Guilford (or Litchfield), CT, USA and d. Gananoque, ON, Can. He was a prominent merchant and United Empire Loyalist who was the founder of Gananoque, ON, Cananda (c. 1790). His father was Stephen STONE and his mother was Rebecca, both of Litchfield, CT. According to LDS records Joel Stone had several sisters and two brothers: Stephen, b. Jan. 1, 1746 and Leman, b. Dec. 29, 1750, both in Litchfield Twp., Litchfield, CT. I believe that Martha Jane STONE may be related to Joel STONE through one of his brother's children or perhaps a cousin who later came to Gananoque. I believe Joel Stone's only son William Moore Stone had no children. Joel Stone did have a daughter (Mary) who married a Mac or McDonald. Her daughter, my gr. grand-mother was Mary Jane Wood(s) b. Mar. 20, 1865 & d. Dec. 13, 1942, Gananoque, ON, Can., m. 25, June 1881 to Giles (Nyle) A. Harris, b. Nov. 13, 1859, and d. June 22, 1925 in Gananoque, ON. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who might be able to help me establish the link between Martha Jane Stone and Joel Stone's family or has any other information or suggestions. I would be interested in hearing from anyone researching the following families in the Gananoque/Kingston/Brockville ON, Canada, NY or CT States, areas: STONE, HARRIS, TRYON, MCDONALD, WRIGHT, JAMESON, SHERIFF AND CARY.
