Elias Barbee Stone

Other Events and Attributes:

• Religion: 1829, Church of Christ, Orange Christian Church, Fayette Co, Indiana

Notes:

Religion:
While residing in Fayette County, Elias Stone organized the "Church of Christ" Meeting on Sanes Creek. The first meeting was held on 4 July 1829, but it was not until 1831
that a building was constructed on ground that he had given for that purpose. This church, later called the "Orange Christian Church," is the oldest Christian Church in the
State of Indiana.

Elias married Catherine Houston Lindsay about 1812 in Scott Co, Kentucky. Catherine was born on 17 Sep 1795 in Scott Co, Kentucky; died on 21 Aug 1873 in Liberty Twp, Wabash Co, Indiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Spencer married Nancy "Sally" Smith about 1778 in Culpeper Co, Virginia. Nancy was born about 1755; died before 1816. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Property: 1747, Prince William Co, Virginia
• Census: 1778, Leeds Parish, Fauquier Co (prev Prince William Co), Virginia

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).

Property:
"On 20 December 1747, Thomas Stone, Jr., Planter of Prince William County, Colony of Virginia, leased from John Dagg, shipwright, of the same county and colony, for the consideration of rents one lot of land containing 125 acres granted to Joseph Chambers adjoining the line of William Stone during the natural lives of the said Thomas Stone and Mary his wife, paying the said John Dagg 450 pounds of tobacco and 5 shillings annually..."

Thomas married Mary Butler about 1741 in Hamilton Parish, Prince William Co, Virginia. Mary was born about 1721 in Stafford Co, Virginia; died after 1765 in Prince William Co, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

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.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Will: 23 Aug 1756, Prince William Co, Virginia
• Research Notes: 6 Dec 2011; children

Notes:

In a letter to Charles H. Stone, dated 15 October 1941, Harry Wright Newman (author of Stones of Poynton Manor) wrote:

Captain Thomas Stone, 1677-1727, was seized of land in King George County, Va. I have record of his leasing it, but not selling it. Captain Stone does not name all the children in his will, leaving David the landed estate in Maryland, but referred to other unnamed children. At that time Thomas Stone, Jr., who received no land in Maryland, could have been well-established in Virginia. There is evidence of 200 acres of land in the name of Thomas Stone, and it is quite possible that Captain Thomas Stone executed a deed of gift in King George County to Thomas, and that was the incentive for Thomas settling in Virginia.

Newman is apparently referring here to property in King George County that Captain Thomas inherited from his brother John by will dated 27 January 1702. Newman says that Captain Thomas leased 500 acres of this property to William Thornton, Gent., of King George County, but does not indicate the date of the lease. See Stones of Poynton Manor, p. 16

According to Charles H. Stone, Newman's comment (in his 1941 letter) on relocation of Thomas, Jr., to Virginia is "corroborated in Virginia records," for which Charles H. gives us the following "proof":

In Tyler's Historical Magazine, Vol. VIII, p. 80, we find: Book 1, p. 54 King George County 1721. Thomas Stone of Maryland, Gent., to Captain William Thornton 200 acres.

From here, wrote Charles H., we follow this Thomas Stone into Fauquier County, Va. He cites Fauquier during Proprietorship, p. 100:

Thomas Stone 1724, Sept. 22, 611 acres, corner to Waugh Darnell A 73, whose land was on Indian Cabin Branch, named among settlers of Rappahannock in 1724, which reached Carter's Run.

Note, however: (1) The Thomas who leased land to William Thornton in 1721 was probably Captain Thomas himself, rather than his son. Thomas Jr. could not have been born much before 1700, his mother having been born after 1684, and in all probability he was born a few years after 1700. In any event, he would have been either too young to have executed the transaction with Thornton or, if of age, still too young to have been styled "Gent."
(2) The Thomas Stone who was "among the settlers of Rappahannock in 1724 might well have been the father of John and William Stone of Surry, but we have found no evidence that he was the son of Captain Thomas Stone.

We do have evidence to suggest that he was not the son of Captain Thomas Stone: According to "Warren of Virginia and Maryland," Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, 6:200-203 (1898), Thomas Stone, Jr., of Charles County, son of Captain Thomas Stone (i.e., brother of David Stone, who was father of the Signer), had a son, John, born 1748, who married Mary Warren, daughter of Robert Warren of Charles County. This is the John (son of Thomas, Jr., and grandson of Captain Thomas) who, according to Stones of Surry, is supposed to have been born nearly a quarter century earlier and is supposed to have married a Corder.

Conclusion: The paternity of John and William Stone of Surry is not known.

--------------------
Although it is commonly stated that Thomas Stone, Gentleman, of Charles County, Maryland, and his wife, Jane Hoskins, daughter of Col. Philip Hoskins, had a son named Thomas, I am not aware of any documentation that substantiates this. In one probate document relating to the administration of Col. Philip Hoskins' estate, mention was made of his "three other grandchildren, children of Thomas Stone." In Thomas Stone's will, which was dated 25 May 1727, he also mentions or refers to only three children; David, Mary, and Anne (by naming her son, Gerrard Fowke). And, in the will of Thomas Stone's second wife, Katherine (Boughton) Thomas Stone, which was dated 26 October 1750, the same three children are again mentioned or alluded to; David (by naming his son, David, Jr.), and Thomas Stone's two daughters, now married, Mary Hanson, and Anne Fowke. Since Thomas Stone's second wife, Katherine, is not known to have had any children by her first husband, Benoni Thomas, it definitely appears that Thomas Stone of Charles County only had three children, none of which were named Thomas.

The above data is well-documented and sourced through Elk Run Parish records and Fauquier Co., VA deeds as well as other documents. Several books, "The Stones of Surry," "Stones of Poynton Manor" and "Of the Stones" claim that this Thomas Stone of Fauquier Co. is the son of Capt. Thomas Stone of MD, grandson of Gov. William Stone through his son John Stone the elder of MD.

Will:
Will lost, but son John who had been named Executor
of his will, was granted an Administrative Bond by the Prince William County Court on 23 August 1756. Three months later, on 23 November 1756, an inventory and
appraisement of Thomas Stone?s estate was submitted to the Court.
Deed and probate records indicate that after Thomas Stone passed away his property was divided up between his three sons; Thomas, William, and John.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jacmac/stone.pdf

Research Notes:
Circumstances to think John, William, Marble and Thomas are brothers who went to Surry County.

First, it's established that John and William were
brothers. The other two are speculation to be
additional brothers, though doubtful
as to their father, speculation perhaps
a Thomas Stone.

Considerations:
The four are all in Surry County 1771

William and Marble are there in 1772

Dicks Connection:
Littleberry Stone, son of Marble, married a
Ann Dicks(1765).
there is a Ann Dicks, b 1700 Dorchester Maryland
1700, who married James Bounds.
And there was a Rebecca Dicks (c1704) who
married Azariah Cooley. Cooley family
married into the Bounds family. John Stone family
is shown married into Bounds family in 1850
White Co, Tennessee census.

Albermarle, VA Connection:
John Gordon (1754 Albemarle; d 1839 Stokes NC)
daughter Elizabeth m Enoch Stone Jr.
abt 1820 in Surry Co, NC.
Enoch son of Enoch Sr & Nancy Anthony, granson
of John Stone and Mary Corder.
showing a family link from Albermarle.

Thomas Stone is there in Surry County North Carolina with John William and Marble in 1771. A couple of Marble's children died in Lawrence County, Arkansas; and there was a Thomas Stone there in 1831-1833. The speculation that John and William were children of a Thomas Stone.
very weak on Thomas, but is in the process of study.

Thomas* married Nancy (?)* Bronaugh (?) in 1721 in Maryland. Nancy was born about 1705; died before 1748. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
