========================
Corder Stone, believed to be the son of John Stone and his first wife, is believed to have been born in about 1769, probably in Granville County, North Carolina, where the
family was residing prior to moving to Surry County, North Carolina in 1770. Corder Stone and his younger brother, Thomas Stone, witnessed a deed in Surry County, North Carolina on 21 April 1792, between their uncle, Daniel Barrow, and Mr. Edward Lovell. 244 Sometime after this, Corder and his brother, Thomas, left North Carolina, and after spending a short period of time in Tennessee, moved further north into Kentucky. Corder was later married on 18 August 1800 to a widowed woman named Mary "Polly" Mason in Lincoln County, Kentucky.
Several years after their marriage, Corder and Mary moved south into Tennessee, where they settled in that portion of the state that was later formed into White County in 1806. Corder and his brother, Thomas Stone, were later found on the 1812 list of taxable property in White County.
Corder, who was a farmer and Minister by trade, is believed to have died in White County, Tennessee sometime during the period 1843-1845.
