You show W A Corder as being buried in Eastland Cemetery. Do you have any info showing this as true. Most people have him as dying in Trinity Co. and believe he is buried there. I have seen this posted somewhere awhile back. Coryell County Deed Book D:325, County Clerks office, Gatesville,

State of Alabama
In the County Court of Madison County held at Huntsville on the 20th day of August 1833 the hon. Samuel Chapman, Judge thereof presiding _____ Reuben Stone, of said county, personally appeared in open court, and being duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed the 7th day of June 1832.....

My mother had a record of my age in her prayer book, which is lost or destroyed - not in my power to produce. From it and the traditions in my family I was born in Fauquier County, Virginia in the year 1755, & am now in my 78th year.
At about my 18th year I removed with my father's family into Lawrence County [sic, Laurens County] or District of South Carolina. Between the years 1773 & 1777 I volunteered from that county and joined Captain Benjamin Raney's company of the men raised to defend the country against the hostile Cherokee Indians. I joined for six months; five of which I certainly served & was ------- either on the frontiers or on marches into the Indian country. For this I claim allowance on my pension only if entitled. It was a service before the Revolution; & my toils & sufferings at least were sufficient; but I am not informed whether Congress has allowed for such service. On the 5th of August 1777 Col Sumpter was raising a regiment of horse - was in Lawrence County aforementioned & Thomas Childress, yielding to the zeal inspired by that patriot & for the moment forgetful of the calls of a sick family, his wife having a permanent and distressing disease, enlisted under Sumpter for three years. I pitied his family [&] proposed myself as his substitute & was accepted and joined Sumpter in the same county on the day or the day afterward. The Legislature of So Carolina, however, as I understood, refused to sanction Sumpter's regiment as one of horse, at which he resigned; the regiment was reduced to one of infantry & I was put under Captain Ridgebow in Col Wm Henderson's regiment. Under this enlistment I served two years & 9 months at least - was not always under Ridgebow - part of the period under Capt Baker; but mostly under Col Henderson. I was at the attack he made upon the British whilst they occupied Savannah; at which Gen'l Moultrie commanded us & was assisted by Count De Estrang & the French. I was also in the attack of the British at Stono, where I think Moultrie commanded us. After being marched to Charleston & stationed there for a time
Genl Howe of the American Army, as was understood, proposed the capture of St. Augustine in Florida. I was detailed for that expedition & put under him & was marched by the way of Fort Barnton on the Altemahaw & thence across the St. Marys to Fort Onion [could be "Union"] in Florida; but the troops became disaffected to Howe, on account of his name & real or supposed kindred to Lord Howe of the British army; & in consequence my regiment returned to Charleston, believing, as they all did, that it was intended to deliver them to the enemy. I remained in Charleston until it was invested by the
enemy & compelled after the siege of the place to surrender. Genl Lincoln commanded at the siege. I was among the prisoners taken by the British & included in the surrender - but not long after found opportunity of escape & succeeded. I returned to Lawrence County - & my term having expired I did not rejoin the army. My sufferings in the march through a wilderness country to Florida & back to Charleston was very severe; & that was the only expedition I which I met privations beyond the actual peril of life in battle. I am advised however that a minute detail of the countless incidents I experienced (many of which now yearly pass from recollection) need not here be given. I have stated my officers & the chief affairs & expeditions in which I was engaged. My regiment was at first counted as No. 6 & afterward was divided Sullivan's Island & I fell into was called the first regiment of the line. My whole service was three years two months - five months, as before stated, anterior to & two years nine months during the Revolution. It was indeed more I think, but I state it at that. I got no discharge in writing. I have no documentary evidence of my enlistment & service. Whether rolls were returned by the Captains who commanded me I know not. There is no one living & known to me by whom I can prove my enlistment except by James Childress, (or as he calls it, Childers) who is the son of the above named Thomas Childers, whose affidavit will follow. I lived in Lawrence County S.C. until1808, when I removed to Madison County of Alabama aforesaid, where I have since dwelt & now reside. I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or subsidy except the present & declare that my name is not on the pension roll og the army of Alabama or of any state.

Sworn and subscribed to me on the 20th of August 1833 [signed by Clerk and by Reuben Stone
his mark]

[April 1850, Thomas McCrary, administrator for the estate of Reuben Stone, appeared before the pension commissioner in Huntsville, Alabama, to declare that the pensioner was deceased.]

State of Alabama, County of Madison:
I John M. Oley [?] Judge of the Probate Court of said County, and as such, Clerk of said Court, holden at Huntsville, in and for such County, do hereby certify that satisfactory evidence has been exhibited to said Court that Reuben Stone was a Pensioner of the United States at the rate of Eighty dollars per annum, was a resident of the County of Madison in the State of Alabama, and died in the County of Madison in the State of Alabama in the year Eighteen hundred and forty-nine on the ninth day of February - that he left no widow.

Notes:

Some show her to be Gracy Barker but Barker is an unproven last name.

Name:
Her surname is yet unknown and unproven. This is purely incorrect and unproven, yet alone made up by someone who was paid to do research and made a mistake. Since then individuals continue to use an unproven surname for this woman. I wish everyone to stop using BARKER as her surname! If you can't prove it, don't use it!

According to the pension petition submitted by his son, Reuben, John Stone
moved his family from Virginia to South Carolina about 1773. He settled on the north side of Beaverdam Creek of Enoree River in what is now Laurens County, where he purchased in 1775 from William Vaughn and wife, Barbara, 200 acres of land. In 1791, he received a grant from the state of 442 acres on Beaverdam Creek.

Property:
Fauquier and Prince William County John and Milly Stone to Edmund Parke 217 acres parcel of land in Fauquier County part of... (entry cut off... Prince William County maybe)

Will:
will of John Stone, dated 25 January 1797 and proved 17 March 1800, was recorded in Laurens County
Will Book A-a, page 233. Named in the will were his wife, Mildred (Milly); sons, William Stone; Reuben Stone; Raughley (Raleighly, Rawley, Rolly) Stone; Elias Stone; Lewis Stone; and a daughter, Nancy Stone. Milly Stone, widow of John Stone, died prior to 1822.

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2685402&id=I573822436

Research Notes:
He must not be a brother to the four Stones who went to Surry North Carolina (provided all four of them are brothers) mainly for the fact that there is already a John who married a Corder and not likely two brothers named John. This John's wife, Millie Corder, has been documented but no parent. The other John married a Miss Corder - name of Mary has been used to identify her but no name has been verified. These two Corder ladies are very close in age. Sisters? The two Johns, maybe cousins????
For now, will have him attached so as to keep him in the loop and he is most likely part of the same family line.


Died:
His grave near New Market, in Madison County Alabama, is marked with a bronze marker from the DAR. A plaque in the Madison County Courthouse in Huntsville lists him as one of the County's Revolutionary War veterans.

John married Mildredge "Millie" Corder, (dau of who?) about 1749 in Prince William Co, Virginia. Mildredge was born about 1730 in Prince William Co, Virginia; died in 1822 in Washington District, Laurens Co, South Carolina.. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

I have uncovered a deed by John Stone from Fauquier dated Sept. of 1775 his wife's name was Milley. She is likely your missing daughter. She was likely born in Prince William County in 1730. John and Milly and their family moved from Fauquier to Laurens SC in 1775. John died there in 1800 and Mildredge died there in abt. 1820. I have a copy of a resulting case dividing the homestead in 1822. John identified her in his will as my wife "Mildredge". All other references say Milley or Milly. I also have a copy of her Dower rights from Fauquier. She could only make her mark.

I also found a will for John Coder and one of the executors is Thomas Stone. This would be John Stone's brother Thomas Stone. Thomas had a daughter Elizabeth and she married a William Dulin. Also Thomas' son, Thomas had a daughter Parazaid (?) Stone who married Bayles Corder. She died in St. Helena Parish Louisiana.

From my research it appears that John and Mildredge married in 1748/49. Mildredge had children who carried the first names of other Corders. Reuben, William, Lewis, Elias. It appears some of her brothers moved to Laurens. I have found Reuben and Elias Corder living in Laurens near the Stones. Mildredge's children were John Jr., Reuben, William, Elias, Lewis, and Nancy.

Some of the Stones have mistakenly placed John Stone in Surry NC which was not the case. The John Stone, who was John's nephew, was married to a Mary. This likely caused the Mary Corder claims.
