Notes |
- John Stone, son of Matthew and Rachel (Smoot) Stone, was born at "Poynton Manor", Durham Parish, Charles County, Maryland. In court during 1769, he declared himself to be 55 years of age and mentioned his father Matthew Stone, then deceased. He married twice, but the name of his first wife has not been established.
Children of John Stone by First Marriage
1. Thomas Stone married Catherine (???). q.v.
2. Josiah Stone, d.s.p. Somerset Co., Md., 1781, willing dwelling-plantation, "Drury Lane", to brother John.
3. William Stone married Betsy Murray. q.v.
4. John Stone, d.s.p. 1783, willing "Drury Lane" to brother Thomas, "that which was willed me by brother Josiah", also named his brother William and the latter's wife, Betsy, and his brother-in-law, Jeremiah Gray. Inventory signed by Mary Gray and William Stone.
5. Mary Stone married Jeremiah Gray.
By 1763 John Stone had become a widower and had married Mary, the daughter of Barton Warren, but then the widow and administratrix of Harrison Musgrove. On June 6, 1758, she, then being Mrs. Mary Musgrove, shared in the distribution of her father's estate. On April 29, 1760, she was granted letters of administration on the estate of her deceased husband, Harrison Musgrove, with Notley Warren and John Warren offering bond. The final settlement was made by her on May 15, 1762, as Mary Musgrove, and showed distribution to her and unnamed children.
Children of John and Mary (Warren) Stone
6. Matthew Stone married Jane (???).
7. Warren Stone.
8. Elizabeth Stone.
9. Barton Warren Stone married twice. q.v.
John Stone negotiated his will on August 6, 1775, and appointed his wife, Mary, as the executrix. He named the following children--Thomas, Josias, William, John, Matthew, Warren, Elizabeth, and Barton; and grandson John Stone Gray. The instrument was admitted to probate in Charles County on September 12, 1775, by Samuel Stone, Elizabeth Stone, and Theophilus Hanson.
The inventory of his personal estate was taken on May 31, 1776, with Mary Stone and Josiah Stone as the executors, and Barton Stone and Samuel Stone as the kinsmen.
His estate was distributed on November 5, 1776, to the widow, and the following representatives--William Stone, Josiah Stone, John Stone, Matthew Stone, Warren Stone, Elizabeth Stone, Barton Stone, and John Gray. The sureties for the executors were Thomas Stone and Edward Warren.
Before 1778 his widow with her Stone children either joined
or settled with her Musgrove children in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, then an undeveloped and outpost county of that State.
At the December term of court in 1778, Thomas Stone "one of the surviving administrators" of John Stone offered a petition setting forth the fact that the decease's estate was then in the hands of Mary Stone and Josias Stone and that most of it had been wasted or removed out of the State and that he "is in danger of suffering in the responsibility", and therefore the court ordered that the other executors be summoned to the next court. On February 12, 1779, Benjamin Philphott and Thomas Harris gave bond for Mary Stone, widow, and Josias Stone, executors of John Stone.
