Surnames: Stone Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/IEC.2ACE/127.277.545 Message Board Post: Dear Mr. Stone: I'm new to family finding. Through my father, Dustin Warren Stone, I have gone back to Andrew C. Stone. His son Brokenborong(spelling changes on various census), his son Marcellus 1 of 7, and my grandfather Austin Samuel. I do know that my Grandfather Stones' sister, Bernice Stone Grimes, was a member of the DAR and she had sent me a listing in the early 70's that I managed to lose in several moves. We do know that the family had some relationship with George Washington but I have no real facts to support it. I do know Bernice had a book with the connection, but that too is missing after various family passed away. This is what I have so far. I am hoping you may be able to add to it. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Alex
