Barton Stone, son of Matthew and Rachel (Smoot) Stone, was born in DurhamParish, Charles County, Maryland. On June 11, 1750, he deeded to JohnStone a portion of "Poynton Manor", at which time no wife waived herdower rights. On August 8, same year, he conveyed to John Stone for theconsideration of £5 and 4,000 pounds of tobacco another portion of themanor, being the 75 acres which had been deeded to Captain William Wattsby Matthew Stone.

In 1759 Barton Stone signed the inventory papers of his mother's personalestate as the next of kin. On February 14, 1778, before the "WorshipfulRichard Barnes" in Charles County he took the Oath of Allegiance andFidelity to the State of Maryland. Some time after this date he and hisfamily settled in Stafford County, Virginia, near the town of Falmouth.

His wife was Sarah, the daughter of Thomas Speake, who shared in herfather's will, probated November 12, 1766, in Charles County.

Children of Barton and Sarah (Speake) Stone
1. Hawkins Stone married twice. q.v.
2. Richard Stone. q.v.
3. William Barton Stone. q.v.
4. Sarah Stone.
S. Anne Stone married William Philips.

The will of Barton Stone was dated July 28, 1785, and proved in StaffordCounty, Virginia, on February 13, 1786, by Edward Norman, CharlesStewart, and William Stark. He bequeathed to his son Hawkins 1,000pounds of tobacco, to his son Richard six negroes, and the like amount ofnegroes to his daughters Anne Philips and Sarah Stone. He alsobequeathed negroes to his grandsons Barton Speake Stone and WilliamBarton Stone. The residue of the estate was devised to his son Williamwho was named as executor. Dissatisfaction arose over the will,consequently, the five children including William Philips and Anne hiswife agreed to an equal. distribution of the estate, which occurred onJanuary 28, 1786/7.

BARTON SPEAKE STONE

Barton Speake Stone, son of Hawkins, was born perhaps in Stafford County,Virginia. On September 17, 1825, he purchased land and a grist mill inStafford County from Edward Withers, the executor of James Withers, lateof Stafford County. The witnesses were William H. Stone and FieldingClift.

On April 10, 1827, he leased 100 acres of land purchased by him fromJohn Withers who had received it from the estate of his deceased father,James Withers, for $10 annually to be paid by the leasee to William H.Stone and James W. Stone during the natural life of the said BartonSpeake Stone.
Williai-n H. Stone and James W. Stone were brothers and it is thereforeassrmed f rom the above indenture that they were the sons of Barton.

William H. Stone was commissioned on October 21, 1837, by Governor DavidCampbell colonel of the 45th Regiment of Infantry, 5th Brigade, 2dDivision of Virginia Militia. James W. Stone dated his will June 17,1861, and devised his entire estate to his brother William. Theinstrument, however, was not proved in Stafford County until September15, 1869.

There was a Benjamin Stone living early in Shelby County, KY. In the1810 census for Shelby County, Benjamin is shown as age 26-45 (born1765/1784), living with no males but with a female aged 26/45,presumably, his spouse, three female children under 10 years of age, andone female between 16 and 26. If the census of 1810 is correct, he is notthe father of Benjamin born 1804. This Benjamin had no sons under 10years old at the time of the younger Benjamin's birth . We have found nodeath record for a Benjamin Stone after 1810 until the younger Benjamindied in 1875. However, this Benjamin purchased land in Shelby County in1799 as shown below. The younger Benjamin (b.1804) is the son of Williamd. 1855.

No Benjamin appears in the 1820 or 1830 census for Shelby or SpencerCounty respectively. B. W. Stone is enumerated in the 1840 census, 30to 40 years of age with one female aged 15 to 20. A Benjamin Stone is inthe 1850 census, age 46 with a spouse, Elizabeth, aged 39. This Stoneborn ca. 1804 is the person who married Elizabeth Mott on 9 June, 1836.She was born ca. 1810 and died between 1850 and 1858 since in 1858Benjamin married Teresa E. Dusochet. He died in 1875 survived byTeresa.

There are notes concerning Early Marriages in Shelby County asfollows: "Mrs. Ann Stone married Jesse Kinchelow 12 April, 1815." (Itis probable that Jesse is the brother of Anna Kinchelow who marriedGeorge Stone before 1809.)
"Harriette Stone , daughter of Benjamin Stone, married Benoni Hardon,6 Jan 1817."
