Notes |
- Samuel Stone, son of Matthew and Rachel (Smoot) Stone, was born at "Poynton Manor", Durham Parish, Charles County. He married Elizabeth, daughter of John and Rebecca Howard, of the same county. His wife as Elizabeth Stone shared in the estate of her mother Rebecca Howard in 1770.
In 1778 Samuel Stone took the oath of allegiance and fidelity to the State of Maryland in Charles County, his name being on the list of "His Worshipful Richard Barnes' Returns".5
In 1778 he was one of the bondsmen for Richard Robins Reeder, the executor of Esther Harrison. At the tax list of 1783 he was assessed for 100 acres of "Poynton Manor", and had six in his immediate family. Richard Marshall in his will, dated 1784, spoke of "my half brother and sister Samuel Stone's children". At the first census of 1790, Samuel Stone Sr. was living in Charles County with himself and another male over the age of 16, one male under 16, two females, and eight slaves.
