In 1995 I visited Franklin Co. trying to find info on my great-great grandfather Thomas Jefferson Stone and his family. At the Rocky Mount Christian Church I found a dedication plaque inscribed as follows: "THOMAS JEFFERSON STONE April 13, 1830 - April 13, 1903 Ordained as an elder and evangelist in the Christian Church March 15, 1866. He labored earnestly for thirty-seven years. He planted and watered and God gave him the increase." I also located his grave, which was probably on his former farm, but was now a cow pasture. The headstone had been knocked down and was partially embedded in cow dung, but it was in remarkably good condition. Thomas had two daughters who married in Franklin Co. Helen Virginia Stone (b. 13 Feb 1862) married James Anderson on 21 Oct 1894 and Flora May Stone (b. 24 Jun 1870) married J.M. Talbart Hancock. I am looking for descendents of either family or someone who knows anything about them. Please E-mail me at: LAMREIN@accex.net Linda
