    Notes:

    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?

    Right now I am particularly interested in finding Josiah Stone of Charles Co.--it is assumed he is David Stone's son, but there is no documentation that I have found. Also, one of the Hansons is supposed to be the first wife of David Stone, but which one?

    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.

    COLONEL JOHN HOSKINS STONE5
    (1745 - 1804)
    John Hoskins Stone, son of David and Elizabeth (Jenifer) Stone, was born during the year 1745 in Durham Parish, Charles County, Maryland.

    During June and July 1776 he was active in the formation of the Flying Camp to relieve or to drive the British from New York and as a reward for his services he was commissioned a captain of a company composed of men from Charles County. Under the command of Colonel William Smallwood his company participated in the battles of Long Island and White Plains during the autumn of that year.

    The Flying Camp was disbanded in Philadelphia early in December, and Captain Stone returned to his seat at "Poynton Manor" shortly before Christmas. He continued active in the cause and during the early part of 1777 as captain he assisted in the formation of the First Maryland Regiment. At its ultimate organization he was granted the colonelcy and commanded his regiment at the battle of Princeton and later at the battle of Germantown, where he was severely wounded. As a result of his injuries he was forced to resign his commission on August 1, 1779.

    On February 15, 1781, in Anne Arundel County, Colonel Stone secured license to wed Anne Couden.


    Children of John and Anne (Couden) Stone
    1. Couden Stone, died young.
    2. Anne Stone married John Turner.
    3. Elizabeth Stone, born Aug. 30, 1783, married Feb. 8, 1808, Nathaniel
    Pope, son of Gerard and Jenny (Rowe) Causine.
    4. Robert Couden Stone married July 27, 1805, Mary Mann, of Annapolis.

    In 1779 he purchased from William McConchie and Elizabeth his wife, "Watson's Purchase" to which Elizabeth was entitled as dower in the estate of her late husband James Muncaster. On September 4, 1786, he added further to his estate by the purchase from Roger Fowke land in Durham Parish called "Burdett's Rest", beginning at the head of Burdett's Creek and running to Nanjemoy Warehouse. A few days later

    bought another portion of "Burdett's Rest" of 215 acres from Sarah Fowke who described herself as the relict of Captain Gerard Fowke.

    Colonel Stone was a charter member of the Society of the Cincinnati and had the distinction of being elected the third president of the Maryland chapter. He was also one of the early State Governors of Maryland.

    The wife of John Hoskins Stone died on March 4, 1793, at the age of 32 years. A notice of her decease appeared in the Maryland Gazette. He died at Annapolis early in October 1804. The American of October 14, stated, "Died on Friday last General J. H. Stone after a long and painful illness".
