Hi Jim, Thanks for the response. Sounds loike you have some interesting history. In a nutshell, mine is Josias Stone, 1725-1790 Valentine Stone, 1750-1822 Robert Stone, 1778-1838 (relocated to Bath County, KY) Richard Stone, 1814-1882 (relocated to Kansas) Joseph Stone, 1845-1897 Archie Earl Stone, 1891-1938 (relocated to Missouri) Archie Edwin Stone, 1924-2000 (relocated to California) Archie is clearly a family name, my son is also named Archie. I'm not sure if the name Archie was from Richard's wife's (Minerva Jane Kincaid) family or if it was taken from your side of the family. Kim Stone
