The will of Verlinda Stone was proved in Charles County on July 15, 1675, by Margaret Baghay, Barbara Kendall, and Anne Roughey. She devised Benoni Thomas and his heirs the tract "St Verlinda" of 400 acres, but it was to be held by her son John Stone until Benoni arrived at the age of 21 years.(*) Certain articles of personalty were left to her daughter Mrs. Doyne. The residue of the estate was bequeathed to her son John.
The court subsequently ordered Robert Doyne and Matthew Stone to appraise the estate, and Benjamin Rozer, Gent., to take the oath of John Stone, Gent., the executor.
(*)Note: It is also said that Benoni Thomas was a grandson of Verlinda Stone, being the son of Mrs. Doyne by a former marriage.
The will of Verlinda, widow of William Stone, dated Charles county, MD, 3d day of March, 1674/5; proved 13th day of July, 1675 makes but three bequests; 1st, Benony Thomas and heirs to whom she leaves 400 acres of land; 2nd, a daughter Doyen (Doyne), personalty; and 3d, son John whom she makes her Executor, and beneficiary of the residue of her estate both real and personal, at twenty-one years of age. Omitting mention of all but two of William Stone's children suggests that she may not have been the mother of the other children.
