That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated, that is to say under Captain Richard Gold in Surry County North Carolina who was under the command of Colonel Joseph Williams of the same County and was marched by them from Surry County as a drafted militia man to the Long Island of Holston River, now in this State where Colonel Williams' Regiment joined, and was placed under the command of General Christie [sic, William Christian] who conducted this expedition against the Cherokee Indians. The troops some time after the arrival of this applicant and the Regiment to which he belonged at the station at Long Island on Holston, were marched against the Indians to the distance of upwards of one hundred miles through the wilderness as it was then called, but could not bring them to an engagement. General Christie took possession of an evacuated Indian town on Tennessee River soon after which the Indians came on and sued for peace and hostilities ceased. A short time afterwards as this applicant understood a treaty of peace was concluded with the Cherokees. The troops were dismissed by General Christie at the before mentioned Indian town and this applicant returned home with the Regiment to which he belonged under Colonel Joseph Williams and was dismissed by him on his return. This applicant recollects that he was drafted to serve the before mentioned tour in the year 1776. That the draft was for six months and that he served out the time for which he was drafted and longer he believes. This applicant states that he was repeatedly called on to scout against the Tories in North Carolina which calls he obeyed, but does not remember what length of time he was in the service of his Country went on these scouting parties ? he was once or twice drafted after having served as before stated but owing to the situation of his family at the time, he had to hire a substitute and remained at home himself. He states that he never received a written discharge from the service and has no documentary evidence of his services and that he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure who can testify to his service. He states that he was born the 3rd day of December 1752 and has a record of his age in his Bible, at home, he was born in Prince Edward County Virginia, he was living in Surry County North Carolina, when he entered the service, about the close of the Revolutionary [War] he removed to the State of Georgia where he lived four or five years, he removed from Georgia to South Carolina where he lived 17 or 18 years, from South Carolina to Tennessee where he lived about three years, from Tennessee he removed to Alabama, where he lived about 10 years from Alabama he removed back to Tennessee, Marion County where he has been living about three years and still lives. He has stated how he was called into service, and the names of the officers under whom he served, there being no regular troops with the troops with which he served, he has also stated the general circumstances of his services as well as he recollects.

He states that he is known to Benjamin Selman and Noble Ladd in his present Neighborhood who can testify as to his character for veracity and good behavior as well
as to their belief of his services as a soldier of the Revolution, but is not acquainted with
any Clergyman in his present neighborhood who can, there being none immediately in his neighborhood.

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the Pension roll of any Agency in any State.
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.

I am researching the family of Marble (also spelled Marvel) Stone and Lucy Bostick Stone. They initially lived in Albemarle County, VA, then in Prince Edward County, VA, and migrated to Georgia and South Carolina after living in Surry County between 1772 and 1782. Marble Stone left a will in Georgia naming sons Solomon and Littleberry (from whom I am descended), and daughters Annie Stone McAnalley, Betty Stone Wheeler, and Nancy Stone. I am willing to share information with anyone who can provide additional information on this family's origin. I have seen records in the book by Absher confirming their residence in Surry and the approximate times of residence. David Stone e-mail: dstone@mail.mcg.edu or dstonejr@mem.po.com

-------------------

Our Stone Family so far has been traced to Marble Stone, who was in Albemarle Co. Virginia about 1748. Marble was probably born about 1730 and married Lucy Bostick about 1750. The places he is known to have been are in Virginia: Albemarle, Prince Edward and Halifax Counties. In North Carolina he was known to have been in Surry Co. 1772. He was also known to have been in Barnwell, South Carolina where his will was written and Jefferson Co., Georgia where he died and his will was probated in 1810.

Marble's children were Littleberry Stone who married Anna Brooke; Solomon Stone who married Elizabeth Ladd; Betty Stone who married a Wheeler; Nancy Stone who married Eli McCasless and Annie Stone who married John McAnnally. All of these children were mentioned in his will.

Thanks for responding! Also, thanks for sending those results (John's Y-DNA results). I compared them with mine, and they weren't even close. I do know that I match a known descendant of Marvel and Lucy. Our theory is that all of the Marvel Stones originated with one family in Virginia. I have a scenario that just might work for Lucy's Marvel's father. There was an Elijah Stone and a Margaret Stone owning land near Marvel's farm in Pedlar Mills,VA in the 1740s . It's possible that this Elijah may have been Marvel's father. This Elijah may have been a son of John Stone, son of William and Mary Stone of New Kent County and St. Peter's Parish. I haven't decided if I think Margaret was Marvel's sister or his mother.

BTW, I have autosomal results on FTDNA, and have entered them into GEDmatch. I really think I've traced Marvel's parents as John and Rebecca Amoss Stone of St. Peter's Parish. John was the son of William and Mary Stone of the same church in New Kent Co. I have a huge, tangled web of original records, DNA matches and some good old fashioned reasoning that just might have made the case!
