Residence:
Thomas began building this house in 1771, three years after he married his wife, Margeret Brown. This had to be an exciting time for Thomas. He had a budding law practice and a new family. However, it was not an easy time in the colonies. Great Britain was just coming out of the Seven Years War, a prolonged engagement against France that took place on both European and North American soil. The cash-starved mother country looked to it's American colonies to help raise money to pay the war debt. New taxes were being imposed and colonists were growing restless. As Thomas Stone was looking to settle down; trouble was brewing between the colonies and the motherland.

Notes:

dau of Dr. Gustavus Brown and Margaret Black, of Rose Hill, close friend,relative and neighbor to the Stone family. He was born in Scotland in 1689 and came to MD in May 1708 where he established a successful pracice as a physician in the Nanjemoy area of Charles Co.and 2nd wife, Margaret Black Bloyd. Margaret's bro was Dr. Gustavus Richard Brown. (History of Charles Co, MD by Margaret Brown - p 83 )
_
Margaret Brown (1751-1787)

Margaret was the youngest of Dr. Gustavus Brown's fourteen children. Her mother, Margaret Boyd Brown, was Dr. Brown's second wife. As stated in his will, Dr. Brown described himself as "a Practitioner of medicine and Laird of Mainside and the House of Byers, Roxbury Scotland." His Scottish lordship, Edinburgh education, and property holdings in Scotland and Maryland placed Dr. Brown in a social position unparalleled in the colony. He was also thought to be the richest man in Charles County.

Dr. Brown provided for the wealth and education of all his children. Upon marriage or attaining the age of twenty-four, Margaret was to receive 300-pounds sterling. She married Thomas in 1768 and it is possible that part of Margaret's inheritance was used toward the 400-pound purchase price of Haberdeventure.

Between 1771 and 1774, Margaret gave Thomas three healthy children. In 1776, Margaret visited Thomas in Philadelphia while he served in the Continental Congress. Due to recent outbreaks of smallpox in the city she opted to receive a smallpox inoculation which, at that time, required ingesting mercury. She became ill shortly afterward and never recuperated; it is assumed she was poisoned by the mercury treatments. After more than a decade of declining health, she died in June of 1787 at 36 years of age. Thomas himself died five months later.

Notes:

Judge Samuel Hanson was buried at Equality, an estate then owned by his son-in-law, David Stone, "the inheritor of Poynton Manor, with Court Leetand Court Baron," a lineal descendant and representative of Governor William Stone, and the great-grandfather of the Hon. Frederick Stone, of Port Tobacco, MD.

David's birth date is traditionally given as 18 Mar 1709. I was told that date came from his tombstone which is no longer in existence. David witnessed this deed 6 Apr 1727, meaning he should have been over 21 onthat date.

This David Stone was born around 1709 and died March 18, 1779. He was married to one of the Hansons, and then to Elizabeth Jenifer. He had quite a few children by his second marriage, e.g. Thomas Stone, John Hoskins Stone, Michael Jenifer Stone, and so forth. Josiah Stone and Samuel Stone were attributed to the marriage to, presumably, Sarah Hanson.

Another question, Josiah married Mary Washington Donelson or Donaldson during the American Revolution and lived in Culpeper Co., VA before moving to Kentucky around 1798. Does anyone know anything about her family?
Specifically was she from Maryland or Virginia?

Right now I am particularly interested in finding Josiah Stone of Charles Co.--it is assumed he is David Stone's son, but there is no documentation that I have found. Also, one of the Hansons is supposed to be the first wife of David Stone, but which one?
