Residence:
Thomas began building this house in 1771, three years after he married his wife, Margeret Brown. This had to be an exciting time for Thomas. He had a budding law practice and a new family. However, it was not an easy time in the colonies. Great Britain was just coming out of the Seven Years War, a prolonged engagement against France that took place on both European and North American soil. The cash-starved mother country looked to it's American colonies to help raise money to pay the war debt. New taxes were being imposed and colonists were growing restless. As Thomas Stone was looking to settle down; trouble was brewing between the colonies and the motherland.

Thomas married Margaret Brown in 1768 in Charles Co, Maryland. Margaret was born in 1751; died in Jun 1787. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

dau of Dr. Gustavus Brown and Margaret Black, of Rose Hill, close friend,relative and neighbor to the Stone family. He was born in Scotland in 1689 and came to MD in May 1708 where he established a successful pracice as a physician in the Nanjemoy area of Charles Co.and 2nd wife, Margaret Black Bloyd. Margaret's bro was Dr. Gustavus Richard Brown. (History of Charles Co, MD by Margaret Brown - p 83 )
_
Margaret Brown (1751-1787)

Margaret was the youngest of Dr. Gustavus Brown's fourteen children. Her mother, Margaret Boyd Brown, was Dr. Brown's second wife. As stated in his will, Dr. Brown described himself as "a Practitioner of medicine and Laird of Mainside and the House of Byers, Roxbury Scotland." His Scottish lordship, Edinburgh education, and property holdings in Scotland and Maryland placed Dr. Brown in a social position unparalleled in the colony. He was also thought to be the richest man in Charles County.

Dr. Brown provided for the wealth and education of all his children. Upon marriage or attaining the age of twenty-four, Margaret was to receive 300-pounds sterling. She married Thomas in 1768 and it is possible that part of Margaret's inheritance was used toward the 400-pound purchase price of Haberdeventure.

Between 1771 and 1774, Margaret gave Thomas three healthy children. In 1776, Margaret visited Thomas in Philadelphia while he served in the Continental Congress. Due to recent outbreaks of smallpox in the city she opted to receive a smallpox inoculation which, at that time, required ingesting mercury. She became ill shortly afterward and never recuperated; it is assumed she was poisoned by the mercury treatments. After more than a decade of declining health, she died in June of 1787 at 36 years of age. Thomas himself died five months later.

Judge Samuel Hanson was buried at Equality, an estate then owned by his son-in-law, David Stone, "the inheritor of Poynton Manor, with Court Leetand Court Baron," a lineal descendant and representative of Governor William Stone, and the great-grandfather of the Hon. Frederick Stone, of Port Tobacco, MD.

David's birth date is traditionally given as 18 Mar 1709. I was told that date came from his tombstone which is no longer in existence. David witnessed this deed 6 Apr 1727, meaning he should have been over 21 onthat date.

This David Stone was born around 1709 and died March 18, 1779. He was married to one of the Hansons, and then to Elizabeth Jenifer. He had quite a few children by his second marriage, e.g. Thomas Stone, John Hoskins Stone, Michael Jenifer Stone, and so forth. Josiah Stone and Samuel Stone were attributed to the marriage to, presumably, Sarah Hanson.

Another question, Josiah married Mary Washington Donelson or Donaldson during the American Revolution and lived in Culpeper Co., VA before moving to Kentucky around 1798. Does anyone know anything about her family?
Specifically was she from Maryland or Virginia?

Will:
David Stone died intestate on March 18, 1773, at the age of 64 years. The inventory of his personal estate was filed on February 26, 1774, and appraised at ?1,563/10/10, with Elizabeth Stone, Thomas Stone, and John Hoskins Stone as the administrators and Daniel Jenifer and G. R. Brown as the bondsmen. Catherine Scott and Betsy Anne Stone were the kinswomen.

At the final account in June, 1778, his widow had died, and Thomas Stone and John Hoskins Stone were recorded as the "surviving administrators". The balance of ?2,361/19/5 showed no distribution, according to the court records.

Notes:

Thomas Stone, son of John and Elizabeth Stone, was born in Charles Countyduring 1677, according to a deposition made in 1721. He married first Martha, the daughter of Colonel Philip Hoskins. The latter died in 1714,and besides appointing Thomas Stone as the overseer of his estate, he named as heirs his grandson Thomas Stone and daughter Martha Stone.Oswald Hoskins, son of Colonel Philip Hoskins, died in 1721 and named bywill his brother-in-law Thomas Stone as the overseer of his estate, andat the same time mentioned his sister Martha Stone. The fact that he named only two children in his will and referred to other children makes it difficult to establish an absolute list.

----------------------------
In 1715 he, as Captain Thomas Stone being a member of the Assembly,signed a petition to His Excellency on the death of the Queen and also the petition upon the ascendancy of His Majesty, George I, to the throne.

Some researchers give Martha Hoskins as the wife of Thomas Stone, but Martha was still unmarried and single 4 Sep 1730 when she received her share of the estate of her sister Mary Hoskins. Jane and Benedicta Hoskins were the only unmarried daughters old enough to be the mother of Thomas Stone's and Robert Hanson's children. Because of the names of the descendants, I have arbitrarily given Jane to Thomas Stone and Benedicta to Robert Hanson.

Thomas* married Martha Jane* Hoskins about 1703 in Charles Co, Maryland. Martha (daughter of Col Philip* Hoskins, Sr. (immigrant) and Elizabeth (Waughop) Wahob) was born on 1 Mar 1681/82 in Port Tobacco, Charles Co, Maryland; died before 1715. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Hoskins Jane d/o Philip & Elizabeth Hoskins of Portobacco b 1 Mar 1681

Jane was named after her grandmother, Jane (Lee) Wahob.

NJL note: I am of the opinion that Thomas Stone married Jane Hoskins. I have several pieces of circumstantial evidence to support my opinion:
1) Jane Hoskins was the only daughter of Philip Hoskins who was old enough. Both Jane and Benedicta were named in the will of their grandfather, Alexander Wahob, written 1 Dec 1683. This would have been an older Benedicta, as the land records give her birth as 16 Dec 1685.
2) Her daughter, Mary Stone named a daughter Jenny Stone Hanson.
3) Her daughter, Ann Stone named a daughter Jane Fowke.
4) Martha Hoskins acknowledged receiving her share of her 2 brothers', mother's and father's estates in a deed signed Jul 8, 1729, and signed as Martha Hoskins, meaning she would have post-deceased Thomas Stone. Thomas' wife at his death and per his will was Catherine Boughton.

"Mudd Family of the U.S.", Vol II, p. 1477:
Oswald Hoskins, b. c. 1699, unm. d. Chas Co, MD. before 28 Oct 1721. Will dated 14 Jan 1720, Chas Co. probated 6 Sep 1731; personal estate to be divided equally among brothers Bennett and Baylord and sisters Mary Ann and Martha; brother Bennett executor of this as well as their mother's Will; overseers brother-in-law Thomas Stone and William Chandler; witnesses: Ignatius Doyce (Doyne?), William Matthews Thompson and Thomas Jameson.
Martha Hoskins, b. c. 1707, m. Thomas Stone of Chas Co., MD before 26 May 1729.

It is believed that Philip Hoskins was some close relation to Sir Bennett Hoskins, Bart (Baronet) (1609-1679) of Morehampton and Harewood, Herefordshire, England. Philip Hoskins was first mentioned 2 Sept 1671, when Bennett Hoskins of England gave him a power of attorney to secure Bennett's patent for the 2000 acre "Manor of Friendship". At that date he is referred to as of or near Wicomico River (present St Mary's or Chas. Co.). The second reference is when by deed dated 7 Sept 1671 he, a planter of Chas. Co. and James Hayes, a planter, purchased the 200 acre Owen's Purchase in Port Tobacco Hundred from John Owen.
Philip Hoskins was a Chas. Co. militia officer in Major Wheeler's Militia 1689-1703 and was referred to as a Colonel in 1707; Chas Co member of the Maryland House of Assembly in 1692, vestryman of Port Tobacco Church, Justice of the Provincial Court, trustee of Cool Springs, and Emissary to the Indians. He directed in his Will that he be buried in Port Tobacco Church. On 12-10-1717 he was appointed residual legatee by the will of Osmond Waple, Gent. of Chas. Co., for the use of Philip's children by wife Ann. By her father's will dated 1683, Eliza Wahob, 1st wife of Philip Hoskins, inherited a 200 acre plantation in Nanjemy Hundred, Chas. Co., MD., and bequests were made to her daughters Benedicta and Jane Hoskins. (Most of this was prepared by: George Ely Russell, Bowie, MD, May 1963. See National Genealogical Society Quarterly, March 1963, pg. 26-31, and Hoskins Families of Seventeenth Century America, by Geroge Ely Russell - Private Pub.)

1) She is the only one of Philip Hoskins' daughters (of which I am aware) that was old enough. The land records have her born 1 Mar 1681/82. She was mentioned in the will of her grandfather, Alexander Wahob, written 1st Dec, 1683. She and her sister are the only two Hoskins grand-children mentioned, which supports the data with her as the oldest.
2) William Hanson and Mary Stone, the daughter of Thomas Stone, named a daughter "Jenny Hoskins Hanson". William Hanson was the son of Robert Hanson and Benedicta Hoskins, the sister of Jane. Benedicta was mentioned in her grandfather's will, too, but that was probably an older sister who did not survive, as the land records give Benedicta's birth as 16 Dec 1685.
3) Roger Fowke and Anne Stone, the daughter of Thomas Stone, named a daughter "Jane Fowke". Roger Fowke was the son of Gerard Fowke, and Sarah Burdett.
