Conway Stone

Notes:

Conway Stone, the son of William Stone, was calculated to have been born in Surry County, North Carolina in 1786. He was later married on 5 March 1820 in Surry County to a woman named Elizabeth Nelson. 296 Elizabeth, who was also a native of Surry County, was calculated to have been born there in 1805.

Although Conway and Elizabeth appear to have remained in North Carolina for a number of years after their marriage, shortly after the 1830 census was taken they apparently moved to Virginia, where they settled on a farm in that portion of Logan County, that was eventually formed into Boone County in 1847 (Boone County is now situated within West Virginia).

Both Conway and Elizabeth are believed to have died in Boone County, West Virginia. Conway is believed to have died there prior to 1870.

NOTE: The offspring listed below as (female) was abstracted from available pre-1850 census records. This is also believed to be one of Conway and Elizabeth?s children, but has yet to be positively identified. The 1840 census of Logan County, Virginia (West Virginia) shows males 11201001 - females 121201.

Notes:

note: can't find them? Who? age
matching DNA suggests a grandson to Thomas (1699).
Thomas (1699) son Wm/Hannah Conway had a William 1754.
Wm/Hannah also had a son Ezekiel.
Very good chance this is the father
other sons of Thomas not so likely:
John (Mildredge) had a William, b 1750s but see nothing to make him likely.
Another brother Thomas but no info on him. ~ss

William Stone, born 1723; married Hannah Conway. "On 20 December 1747, William Stone, Planter of Prince William County, Colony of Virginia, leased from John Dagg of Prince William County, shipwright, for the consideration of rents 125 acres of land, being part of a tract of land granted to Joseph Chambers lying between Carter's Run and Piney Mountain, during the natural lives of William Stone and Hannah his wife, paying unto the said John Dagg 450 pounds of tobacco and 5 shillings About 1760 or 1770, William Stone removed with his family to Surry, North Carolina. In 1780 a deed was made to William Stone for 280 acres in Surry Co NC. See deed book in Dobson. The Census of 1790 for the Salisbury district of Surry County shows: the William Stone family (three males over 21, three males under 21, four females over 21). Son, Ezekial, born in Fauquier County, 1756, enlisted for Revolutionary War service in Surry, North Carolina, in 1774; died in Marion Co., TN, at age ninety-nine [letter, Mary A. Saunders (Chattanooga, Tennessee) to Charles H. Stone (Charlotte, North Carolina), 11 June 1937]. Conway Stone, born 1761, served from Granville Co., North Carolina, in the Revolution. Conway married in Monroe Co, Tennessee, and his brother Ezekial certified to his marriage in 1845. The pension of Ezekial was in Marion Co., Tennessee. Children of William and Hannah (Conway) Stone: sons John, William, Ezekiel, Ephriam, and Conway; daughters, Polly, Hannah, Nancy, and Sally [from family records]. Ezekiel Stone's revolutionary war record (letter furnished by Veteran's administration, 28 August 1936): Ezekiel Stone volunteered in Surry County, North Carolina, and served with the North Carolina Troops as follows: from sometime in 1774, three weeks as a private in Captain Richard Good's Company under Major Joseph Winston and went out against the Tories; from sometime in 1776, three months as Orderly Sergeant in Captain William Dodson's Company, Colonel Joseph William's Regiment, went on an expedition against the Cherokees and assisted in destroying a number of their towns; in 1781, two tours, one of two weeks as a private in Captain William Bostic's Company under Major Joseph Winston, and the other of ten weeks as a private in Captain Humphrey's company, Colonel Francis Lock's Regiment. From 1784 to 1795, Ezekiel was in the Union District, South Carolina; in Sevier County North Carolina (now Tennessee) 1795-1816; in Bledsoe, Tennessee, 1816-1819; in Marion, Tennessee, from 1819 to his death in 1855. Ezekiel married Jane Woods about 1779; son William (born 1791) was a Captain in the Creek War and was made Brevet General for gallantry at the Battle of the Horseshoe; served with General Jackson in the Louisiana Campaign, and was elected to Congress in 1836 and 1838.

In Reply to: Re: Ezekiel Stone, Sr. 1755 Fauquier Co.,Va, son of Wm. b. 1723 by Diana Igo of 11001


Diana,

There are several records from Surry in the new book that I am about to publish which prove the relationship to William. One Tax list from Surry has Ezekiel living with William in 1772 along with William Jr. He stays in Surry tax list until 1782, less his absence in the war. As you probably know he moved to Union County SC in 1784.

Ezekiel signed an affidavit for Conway (Conaway) Stones RW Pension record it was proof of a marriage. This allowed Conway?s wife to collect his pension after his death. He states in the affidavit that he was present at Conway?s marriage in Surry. At the time Conway was living with William Sr. In his RW pension Ezekiel states he was born In Fauquier County 1756. The only Stones of Tax Age living in Hamilton parish are Thomas Sr., Thomas Jr., William, and John. I have the Tax list from 1751. I also have a deed for Thomas Jr. and William leasing land next to each other on Carters run 1747. That is now in Fauquier.

I do want to clear up a long standing tradition which is in error. William never married Rhoda Pryor. That William and Rhoda Married in 1772 in Orange County. William and Family are in Surry County at Blewes Creek at the same time. I have records in deed form of William and Hannah selling land in Surry in 1786 and moving to Randolph County. Deeds show Conway moved there with them. William died in about 1788 and Hannah in 1792. Conway sold William and Hannah's land in 1793. John, William?s son, also moved there in 1792.

Also the will of 1819 is William's son will not his. The book Stones of Surry has several other errors.

William did not move to NC in 1770. William received a grant in Granville in Sept 1758 and moved there in April 1760 or earlier. I have the grant record and the survey from 1760 and his grant Feb. 1761/62. His father Thomas Stone had died in Aug of 1756 and William inherited some land. He is added to the Prince William, Later Fauquier Tax list, the same day his father?s inventory was accepted. The land was sold in August of 1758.

Lastly his brother John moved to Laurens SC that is also well documented. To be clear I have all kinds of evidence he was in Fauquier after William moved and stayed there until 1775. His move was directly to what is now Laurens County. I have deed and a Power of Attorney to prove that John Stone in Fauquier and John Stone in Laurens are the same person.

How far back does Ruth have to go I can place William?s father as Thomas Stone of Hamilton Parish birth year as 1699.

Only circumstantial evidence exists placing him with the Stone of Poynton Manor and Gov. William Stone. But it is fairly strong.

William* married Hannah* Conway in 1747 in Prince William Co, Virginia. Hannah* was born in 1727 in King George Co or Fauquier Co, Virginia; died in 1792 in Randolph Co, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
1747 in Prince William County, Virginia to a woman named Hannah Conway. Verification that William Stone was married to Hannah Conway was found in Sheriff John Crump's Account Book for Hamilton Parish in Prince William County, Virginia
for the period 1751-1755.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Will: 23 Aug 1756, Prince William Co, Virginia
• Research Notes: 6 Dec 2011; children

Notes:

In a letter to Charles H. Stone, dated 15 October 1941, Harry Wright Newman (author of Stones of Poynton Manor) wrote:

Captain Thomas Stone, 1677-1727, was seized of land in King George County, Va. I have record of his leasing it, but not selling it. Captain Stone does not name all the children in his will, leaving David the landed estate in Maryland, but referred to other unnamed children. At that time Thomas Stone, Jr., who received no land in Maryland, could have been well-established in Virginia. There is evidence of 200 acres of land in the name of Thomas Stone, and it is quite possible that Captain Thomas Stone executed a deed of gift in King George County to Thomas, and that was the incentive for Thomas settling in Virginia.

Newman is apparently referring here to property in King George County that Captain Thomas inherited from his brother John by will dated 27 January 1702. Newman says that Captain Thomas leased 500 acres of this property to William Thornton, Gent., of King George County, but does not indicate the date of the lease. See Stones of Poynton Manor, p. 16

According to Charles H. Stone, Newman's comment (in his 1941 letter) on relocation of Thomas, Jr., to Virginia is "corroborated in Virginia records," for which Charles H. gives us the following "proof":

In Tyler's Historical Magazine, Vol. VIII, p. 80, we find: Book 1, p. 54 King George County 1721. Thomas Stone of Maryland, Gent., to Captain William Thornton 200 acres.

From here, wrote Charles H., we follow this Thomas Stone into Fauquier County, Va. He cites Fauquier during Proprietorship, p. 100:

Thomas Stone 1724, Sept. 22, 611 acres, corner to Waugh Darnell A 73, whose land was on Indian Cabin Branch, named among settlers of Rappahannock in 1724, which reached Carter's Run.

Note, however: (1) The Thomas who leased land to William Thornton in 1721 was probably Captain Thomas himself, rather than his son. Thomas Jr. could not have been born much before 1700, his mother having been born after 1684, and in all probability he was born a few years after 1700. In any event, he would have been either too young to have executed the transaction with Thornton or, if of age, still too young to have been styled "Gent."
(2) The Thomas Stone who was "among the settlers of Rappahannock in 1724 might well have been the father of John and William Stone of Surry, but we have found no evidence that he was the son of Captain Thomas Stone.

We do have evidence to suggest that he was not the son of Captain Thomas Stone: According to "Warren of Virginia and Maryland," Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, 6:200-203 (1898), Thomas Stone, Jr., of Charles County, son of Captain Thomas Stone (i.e., brother of David Stone, who was father of the Signer), had a son, John, born 1748, who married Mary Warren, daughter of Robert Warren of Charles County. This is the John (son of Thomas, Jr., and grandson of Captain Thomas) who, according to Stones of Surry, is supposed to have been born nearly a quarter century earlier and is supposed to have married a Corder.

Conclusion: The paternity of John and William Stone of Surry is not known.

--------------------
Although it is commonly stated that Thomas Stone, Gentleman, of Charles County, Maryland, and his wife, Jane Hoskins, daughter of Col. Philip Hoskins, had a son named Thomas, I am not aware of any documentation that substantiates this. In one probate document relating to the administration of Col. Philip Hoskins' estate, mention was made of his "three other grandchildren, children of Thomas Stone." In Thomas Stone's will, which was dated 25 May 1727, he also mentions or refers to only three children; David, Mary, and Anne (by naming her son, Gerrard Fowke). And, in the will of Thomas Stone's second wife, Katherine (Boughton) Thomas Stone, which was dated 26 October 1750, the same three children are again mentioned or alluded to; David (by naming his son, David, Jr.), and Thomas Stone's two daughters, now married, Mary Hanson, and Anne Fowke. Since Thomas Stone's second wife, Katherine, is not known to have had any children by her first husband, Benoni Thomas, it definitely appears that Thomas Stone of Charles County only had three children, none of which were named Thomas.

The above data is well-documented and sourced through Elk Run Parish records and Fauquier Co., VA deeds as well as other documents. Several books, "The Stones of Surry," "Stones of Poynton Manor" and "Of the Stones" claim that this Thomas Stone of Fauquier Co. is the son of Capt. Thomas Stone of MD, grandson of Gov. William Stone through his son John Stone the elder of MD.

Will:
Will lost, but son John who had been named Executor
of his will, was granted an Administrative Bond by the Prince William County Court on 23 August 1756. Three months later, on 23 November 1756, an inventory and
appraisement of Thomas Stone?s estate was submitted to the Court.
Deed and probate records indicate that after Thomas Stone passed away his property was divided up between his three sons; Thomas, William, and John.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jacmac/stone.pdf

Research Notes:
Circumstances to think John, William, Marble and Thomas are brothers who went to Surry County.

First, it's established that John and William were
brothers. The other two are speculation to be
additional brothers, though doubtful
as to their father, speculation perhaps
a Thomas Stone.

Considerations:
The four are all in Surry County 1771

William and Marble are there in 1772

Dicks Connection:
Littleberry Stone, son of Marble, married a
Ann Dicks(1765).
there is a Ann Dicks, b 1700 Dorchester Maryland
1700, who married James Bounds.
And there was a Rebecca Dicks (c1704) who
married Azariah Cooley. Cooley family
married into the Bounds family. John Stone family
is shown married into Bounds family in 1850
White Co, Tennessee census.

Albermarle, VA Connection:
John Gordon (1754 Albemarle; d 1839 Stokes NC)
daughter Elizabeth m Enoch Stone Jr.
abt 1820 in Surry Co, NC.
Enoch son of Enoch Sr & Nancy Anthony, granson
of John Stone and Mary Corder.
showing a family link from Albermarle.

Thomas Stone is there in Surry County North Carolina with John William and Marble in 1771. A couple of Marble's children died in Lawrence County, Arkansas; and there was a Thomas Stone there in 1831-1833. The speculation that John and William were children of a Thomas Stone.
very weak on Thomas, but is in the process of study.

Thomas* married Nancy (?)* Bronaugh (?) in 1721 in Maryland. Nancy was born about 1705; died before 1748. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
