"Across the road from this property (see Gervis H.) is the land on ce
owned by Zachariah Carrithers, a son of Francis and Amanda Clarke Carrithers.

Barton Stone, son of Matthew and Rachel (Smoot) Stone, was born inDurham Parish, Charles County, Maryland. On June 11, 1750, he deededto John Stone a portion of "Poynton Manor", at which time no wifewaived her dower rights. On August 8, same year, he conveyed to JohnStone for the consideration of £5 and 4,000 pounds of tobacco anotherportion of the manor, being the 75 acres which had been deeded toCaptain William Watts by Matthew Stone.

In 1759 Barton Stone signed the inventory papers of his mother'spersonal estate as the next of kin. On February 14, 1778, before the"Worshipful Richard Barnes" in Charles County he took the Oath ofAllegiance and Fidelity to the State of Maryland. Some time afterthis date he and his family settled in Stafford County, Virginia, nearthe 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 inStafford County, Virginia, on February 13, 1786, by Edward Norman,Charles Stewart, and William Stark. He bequeathed to his son Hawkins1,000 pounds of tobacco, to his son Richard six negroes, and the likeamount of negroes to his daughters Anne Philips and Sarah Stone. Healso bequeathed negroes to his grandsons Barton Speake Stone andWilliam Barton Stone. The residue of the estate was devised to hisson William who was named as executor. Dissatisfaction arose over thewill, consequently, the five children including William Philips andAnne his wife agreed to an equal. distribution of the estate, whichoccurred on January 28, 1786/7.

BARTON SPEAKE STONE

Barton Speake Stone, son of Hawkins, was born perhaps in StaffordCounty, Virginia. On September 17, 1825, he purchased land and agrist mill in Stafford County from Edward Withers, the executor ofJames Withers, late of Stafford County. The witnesses were William H.Stone and Fielding Clift.

On April 10, 1827, he leased 100 acres of land purchased by him fromJohn Withers who had received it from the estate of his deceasedfather, James Withers, for $10 annually to be paid by the leasee toWilliam H. Stone and James W. Stone during the natural life of thesaid Barton Speake Stone.
Williai-n H. Stone and James W. Stone were brothers and it istherefore assrmed f rom the above indenture that they were the sons ofBarton.

William H. Stone was commissioned on October 21, 1837, by GovernorDavid Campbell colonel of the 45th Regiment of Infantry, 5th Brigade,2d Division of Virginia Militia. James W. Stone dated his will June17, 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,and one female between 16 and 26. If the census of 1810 is correct, heis not the father of Benjamin born 1804. This Benjamin had no sonsunder 10 years old at the time of the younger Benjamin's birth . Wehave found no death record for a Benjamin Stone after 1810 until theyounger Benjamin died in 1875. However, this Benjamin purchased landin Shelby County in 1799 as shown below. The younger Benjamin(b.1804) is the son of William d. 1855.

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

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

!NOTES:
Her married name is Guthrie.

There are several Georges in Shelby county in the early 19th century.The George who married Anna Kincheloe died in Shelby County in 1810. AJacob Stone was his executor. This George appears in the census forShelby County in 1810 but never again. Showing George Stone (b.1765-84) as his son is speculation. It appears that both father andson married Anna's.

SPECULATION:
There are several Georges in Shelby county in the early 19th century.The George who married Anna Kincheloe died in Shelby County in 1810.His father, Jacob Stone, was his executor. This George appears inthe census for Shelby County in 1810 but never again.

Another George was born between 1765 and 1785 and he first appears onthe tax rolls of Shelby County as early as 1807 owning 317 acres onBrashear's Creek. He appears in the 1810 Census of Shelby County,Kentucky, as between 26 and 45 years of age with a son under 10 yearsold, one girl under 10 and a spouse 16 to 26. It is possible thatthis George and William are brothers based on the facts that theywere born near the same time; that William named his first bornGeorge R. Stone; that after George's death in 1831, his only sonRobert C. Stone is found living next door to William and Rebecca inthe 1840 census of Spencer County; ten years later, Robert C. Stonewas living next door to Thomas Stone, also assumed to be a child ofWilliam Stone. These facts are weak and will have to be stronglyaugmented to prove the conclusions advanced. If the relationship isestablished, Jacob would be William's father as well.

Another George born between 1790 and 1800 is shown in the 1830 censusas being 30 to 40, if accurate, he is too young and his wife is tooyoung to be the same couple. This latter George is probably GeorgeR., son of William (d1855).

WILL AND PROBATE:
See SPENCER COUNTY, KY., WILLS, Bk A, p 198, f 114, for the Last Willof George Stone (FHL 482485). His will dated April 5, 1831, named hisspouse Anna Kincheloe Stone as Executor; bequests to Anna, andchildren Robert C . Stone, Caroline Stone Spencer, and ElizabethStone.
The will was filed for probate on April 11, 1831. See Bk 2 pg 386 forthe Petition for Probate of Will, pg 439 for the Inventory, and p 456for Sales.
(FHL 259262 and 259263).

GUARDIANSHIPS:
See SPENCER COUNTY, KY., MARRIAGES AND VITAL STATISTICS, FHL 976.9455V2s at p 66 for Petition for Appointment of Guardians. In July1825 an appointment of Anna Kincheloe (Stone?) was made as guardianfor Caroline Stone and an appointment of John Cochrane was made asguardian for Robert C. Stone. (There must be a logical reason whyguardians were appointed some six years before George died but I don'tknow of one.)

See records of the Cochran-Gilbert Cemetery, Spencer County, KY forrecord of this George Stone, son of Anna Kincheloe Stone.
