- James Stone. Not confirmed. We see two possibilities in the attempt to discover his identity: First, a James Stone married Sarah Denny in Surry County, 10 February 1808. Since Elizabeth and William (James' purported siblings) also married Dennys, we would be inclined to think that this James was son of Enoch and Nancy (Anthony) Stone. However, at least five individuals have submitted pedigree charts to the LDS Ancestral File showing this James (born in Surry in 1783, died in Jay County, Indiana, 22 May 1848) to have been the son of William and Rhoda (Prior) Stone (for whom they have provided no lineage). They show Sarah Denny, born in Surry about 1787, died in Jay County, Indiana, 3 October 1846, the daughter of Azariah and Sarah Wise (Felton) Denny. This Azariah, according to the charts, had thirteen children, including a daughter, Nancy, born in Surry about 1791 (name of spouse, if any, not given), but no son named Azariah. Azariah, father of Sarah, is shown in the Ancestral File to have been son of Samuel and --- (Southard) Denny, born in Albemarle, Virginia, about 1745. The second possibility is posed by Jane Elizabeth (King) Stone, who wrote (in 1906):
"James Stone, Enoch Stone's brother, married Martha King, daughter of John and Elizabeth King, and moved to Indiana about 1830." Unfortunately, Jane's statement could have referred either to this James (brother of Enoch, Jr.) or to James, brother of Enoch, Sr. (son of John). The Ancestral File shows James, born in Surry about 1800, died in Bloomington, Greene County, Indiana, married to Martha King, born in North Carolina about 1807, died in Bloomington about 1863, with one child: William Pierce Stone, born in Indiana in June 1829, died in Newton, Texas in 1905. It gives us no lineage for either James or Martha. On the other hand, only one of the eight marriage "records" in the International Genealogical Index (which is just about as reliable as the Ancestral File) show a date of marriage (1824) that would work for someone born as late as 1807; the remaining seven show dates of marriage for the couple ranging from 1797 to 1810, leading us to conclude that the James, who married Martha King, was more likely the son of John (as is represented in Stones of Surry).

------------------
James Stone, the son of William Stone, was born on 15 December 1778 in Surry County, North Carolina. He was later married on 10 February 1808 in Surry County to a woman named Sarah ?Sally? Denny. Sarah, who had been born in about
1789 in Surry County, North Carolina, was the daughter of Azariah Denny and Sally Wise Felton. She was also the sister of the Nancy Denny who married James Stone?s brother, William. Several years after their marriage, James and Sarah moved to Ohio, where they settled in Gallia County. They eventually moved west into Jay County, Indiana, however.
Sarah subsequently died in Jay County, Indiana on 3 October 1846, while James died there on 22 May 1848. Both were subsequently buried in the Lancaster Cemetery at
Salamonia, Indiana.
