Notes:

Thomas Stone, the eldest son of Thomas Stone of Hamilton Parish, is believed to have been born in about 1721/1722 in Stafford County, Virginia. This Thomas was later married in Prince William County, Virginia to a woman named Mary Butler. Mary is also believed to have been born in Stafford County, Virginia. Verification that Thomas Stone was married to Mary Butler was found in Sheriff John Crump's Account Book for Hamilton Parish in Prince William County, Virginia for the period 1751-1755.

After their marriage, Thomas and Mary resided in that portion of Prince William County that was later formed into Fauquier County, Virginia in 1759. Although many Fauquier County records have been lost or destroyed, a number of tax lists were found among some unrecorded loose papers in the basement of the Fauquier County Courthouse in 1996. These tax lists were subsequently published by the late
John P. Alcock in 2001. In column one of page two of the 1778 List of Tithes taken by William Pickett for the Lower District of Leeds Parish, Thomas Stone, shown as Thomas Stone, Sr. on the list, and his youngest son, James Stone, were residing on the same farm, while Thomas Stone, Jr. and Spencer Stone were residing on adjoining lands. Thomas Stone, Sr.'s son, Benjamin Stone, was listed in column two
of page two, indicating that he was probably living some distance away.

Although Mary (Butler) Stone appears to have died prior to Thomas, the actual date of her death is not known. She is believed, however, to have died in Fauquier County, Virginia. Thomas Stone, on the other hand, is believed to have died in Fauquier County in 1788. The children listed below have been determined through various deed, tax, court, and misc. documents to be Thomas and Mary (Butler)
Stone's children.

-------------------------
alternate theories about Thomas say he and Mary came as a couple from Maryland to Virginia rather than both being born and married there:

An inquiry submitted by E. A. Stone to the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography (July 1902) refers to a Thomas and Mary (Butler) Stone "who came to Virginia from Maryland" and had five sons, including Benjamin, Spencer, John, Thomas and another (name not known).
