Notes |
- Deed and probate records indicate that after Thomas Stone passed away his property was divided up between his three sons; Thomas, William, and John. In addition to his three known sons, there is some circumstantial evidence which
suggests that Thomas Stone and his wife also had a daughter named Elizabeth who was married to a man named Richard Thornberry. Even though no tangible evidence has yet been found that verifies this beyond doubt, I believe the
circumstantial evidence is sufficiently persuasive to include Elizabeth as a daughter.
Richard appears to have died shortly after their marriage as Thomas Stone and a neighbor, David Darnell, posted an Administrative Bond in Prince William County on 28 March 1743 for Elizabeth to be appointed Administratrix of Richard Thornberry's estate. William Stone signed as a witness.
No issue are known from Elizabeth's marriage to Richard Thornberry,
