!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 and son marriedAnna'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. Hisfather, Jacob Stone, was his executor. This George appears in thecensus 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 that thisGeorge and William are brothers based on the facts that they were bornnear the same time; that William named his first born George R. Stone;that after George's death in 1831, his only son Robert C. Stone is foundliving next door to William and Rebecca in the 1840 census of SpencerCounty; ten years later, Robert C. Stone was living next door to ThomasStone, also assumed to be a child of William Stone. These facts are weakand will have to be strongly augmented to prove the conclusionsadvanced. If the relationship is established, Jacob would be William'sfather as well.

Another George born between 1790 and 1800 is shown in the 1830 census asbeing 30 to 40, if accurate, he is too young and his wife is too young tobe the same couple. This latter George is probably George R., son ofWilliam (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, and childrenRobert C . Stone, Caroline Stone Spencer, and Elizabeth Stone.
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 456 forSales.
(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 July 1825an appointment of Anna Kincheloe (Stone?) was made as guardian forCaroline Stone and an appointment of John Cochrane was made as guardianfor Robert C. Stone. (There must be a logical reason why guardians wereappointed some six years before George died but I don't know of one.)

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

The only other information we have on George R. Stone and his familycomes from the 1850 Census for Spencer County, KY. See Robert A. Stone,RIN 114, for copy of this census.

An email received on 17 June, 2001 from William C. Boswell(willcon@@dragonbbs.com] indicated that the 1880 census for Taylorsville,Spencer County, KY shows the family of Gervis H. Stone. Mr. Boswellstates that George R. Stone (1842) was living alone at the time. One ofhis close neighbors was the Jacob Newland family. "So I have a sneakingsusppicion that he is the George R. Stone that married Mary MarthaBoswell in 1881." In an earlier email Mr. Boswell stated that George R.Stone married Mary Martha Boswell on 28 Oct 1881 in Taylorsville, SpencerCo., KY. She was born 6 Apr 1858 in Taylorsville and died 8 Dec 1934 inLakeland, Jefferson County, KY. She is buried in Valley Cemetery justoutside Taylorsville. She was the daughter of Jacob Newland Boswell andMary Fanny Hall."

I enter her as the spouse of George R. Stone based on the foregoing butsubject ot further research.

JOHN AND MATTHEW STONE, OF HOOLE

John Stone, son of Richard and Isabel (Girdler) Stone, was born about theyear 1575 presumably in the Parish of Croston, Lancashire". yet hisbaptism is not recorded in the parish register. The parish is about sixand one-half miles southwest of the town of Preston and originallyconsisted of the townships of Croston, Chorley, Hoole, Rufford, Tarleton,Hesketh, Becconsall, Bispham, Bretheren, Mawdsley, and Ulnes Walton. Theparish church dates from the twelfth century. In 1633 according toBaines' History of Lancaster, John Stone, of Carr House in the Parish ofMuch Hoole was a benefactor to the church. The township of Hoole,however, was separated from the mother parish in 1641 and became anindependent unit.
According to tradition, this John Stone, son of Richard, was the fatherof Governor Stone, of Maryland. It is manifestedly admitted, however,that it has been difficult to establish the parents of the Governor withthe sources available on this side of the Atlantic. No facts have beenunearthed to prove this tradition, but it is known and established thatGovernor William Stone was the nephew of Thomas Stone, Merchant, ofLondon, and therefore he was a grandson of Richard Stone, of Croston.
In 1647 Thomas Stone, Haberdasher, of Cateaton Street, Lon don,whose pedigree is established through the Visitation of London, grantedpower of attorney to his cousin (nephew) Captain William Stone, ofAccomac County, Virginia. At the same visitation is shown the ancestryof Andrew Stone, a brother to the haberdasher. Furthermore, the brothersand sisters of the Governor who have been proved have names similar tothose recorded in the Parish of Croston-Matthew and Andrew being the twomost common.
The visitation proves that Richard Stone, of Croston, had a son Matthewwho was probably the one baptized on April 18, 1583. The marriage ofMatthew Stone is not found in Croston Parish nor are there any records ofhis children being baptized there. The birth of Governor Stone isgenerally placed as the year 1603 and in Northampshire. But it may bemore than coincidence that a William Stone, the son of Matthew and JoanStone, was born in 1604 and baptized during May 1605 in the Parish ofBridgewater in the Diocese of Wells, Somerset.

Somerset does not border Lancashire, in fact it is quite a distance fromthe latter, but it was not uncommon for the gentry to move about in thosedays, and we have seen that two of the sons of Richard Stone of Croston,settled in London. It is noted that Governor Stone had a brother Matthewwho came to Maryland, and also that the Governor had a son Matthew. JohnStone, the traditional father of the Governor, may be correct, but on theface of the present research it is highly probable that the baptism ofthe above William may be none other than that of the Maryland emigrant.
Brothers and Sisters of Governor Stone*
1. Catherine Stone married Thomas Sprigg, of Calvert Co.
2. John Stone, died Accomac Co., prior to 1634.
3. Richard Stone.
4. Matthew Stone, of Maryland. q.v.
5. Andrew Stone, transported into Virginia by brother William.

JOHN STONE, GENT.

John Stone, son of William and Verlinda (Cotton) Stone, was born inAccomac County, Virginia, and was brought to Maryland by his parents in1648. Circumstances point to the fact that he had three wives, the firstone being Elizabeth ----, who is sometime believed to be the daughter ofThomas Warren who died in 1684. John Stone with his wife Elizabeth waspresent at the negotiation of his brother's will in 1676. To this unionwas born two sons, inasmuch as a subsequent deed states that Thomas wasthe only brother of John of the "whole blood". Matthew was therefore ofanother marriage. The children of the third union are proved by the factthat his widow was made the guardian of "her" children as well as theexecutrix of their estates.

Children of John Stone by Earlier Marriages
1. Thomas Stone married twice. q.v.
2. John Stone, d.s.p. 1703, naming bros. Matthew and Thomas and AnneBayne and Anne Fowke (no stated relationship).
3. Matthew Stone married Rachel Smoot. q.v.

Prior to 1684 John Stone married thirdly Eleanor, the daughter of Walterand Eleanor Bayne. The latter by her will, proved in Charles Countyduring 170I, named as heirs Eleanor Stone and Elizabeth Stone who areidentified as granddaughters.

Children of John and Eleanor (Bayne) Stone
4. Walter Stone.
5. Eleanor Stone.
6. Elizabeth Stone.

John Stone was deeded by his brother, Richard, in 1664 for natural loveand affections 500 acres of land on the east side of the Chesapeake Bayon the south side of the Sassafras River. The deed was witnessed byThomas Manning, Thomas Sprigg, and Humphrey Warren.

On June 11, 1667, John Stone, Gent., appeared at the Prerogative Courtand took the oath before Charles Calvert as administrator of the estateof his deceased brother, Richard Stone, Gent. On March 2, 1668, awarrant was issued to John Stone and his brother Thomas to appraise theestate of Thomas Burdit, deceased, late of Charles County. VerlindaBurdit, the relict, was granted letters of administration, and her oathwas duly recorded before Joseph Harrison, Gent. A return of theinventory was made on May 14, 1668, at which time it showed that JosiasLambert was an appraiser instead of Thomas Stone.

As early as 1670 John Stone was Gentleman justice of the Quorum inCharles County; in 1682 he signed a petition as one of His Majesty'sProtestant subjects. During 1687 he was again a commissioner of thepeace, and from 1678 to 1688 he represented his county in the GeneralAssembly. ' He was a member of the commission for the advancement oftrade in the Province, and in 1689 he was on the committee to regulatecivil affairs in Charles County. Another public office, though minor,was coroner of Charles County in 1678.

The will of John Stone was dated September 17, 1697, and was proved inCharles County on August 10, 1698, by the testimony of Joseph Manning,Philip Briscoe, and Notley Warren. His widow, Eleanor, and his son,Thomas, were named as executors. The latter was to administer upon hisown estate and that of his two brothers, Matthew and John, while hiswidow was to administer upon her own estate and that of her children.
Thomas and Walter received equally the dwelling-plantation, a 500 acreportion of "Poynton Manor", and 80 acres of "St. John's" adjoining.Walter was to have the portion of "Poynton Manor" whereon stood thehomestead after the decease of his mother.

Matthew and John were devised "Mangawoman" of 500 acres. Eleanor andElizabeth were devised 400 acres of "Durwin". His widow receivedone-third of the personal estate. The overseers were Captain John Bayne,Major William Dent, Gerard Fowke, and William Stone.
At a subsequent account by his widow and executrix mention is made of"seven" children. His widow married subsequently Hugh Tears. The latterin his will of 1666 named his wife, Eleanor, as well as Eleanor andElizabeth Stone. The widow married thirdly on June 22, 1700, John Beallor Beale.

John Stone, son of Matthew and Rachel (Smoot) Stone, was born at "PoyntonManor", Durham Parish, Charles County, Maryland. In court during 1769, hedeclared himself to be 55 years of age and mentioned his father MatthewStone, then deceased. He married twice, but the name of his first wifehas not been established.

Children of John Stone by First Marriage
1. Thomas Stone married Catherine ---. q.v.
2. Josiah Stone, d.s.p. Somerset Co., Md., 1781, willingdwelling-plantation, "Drury Lane", to brother John.
3. William Stone married Betsy Murray. q.v.
4. John Stone, d.s.p. 1783, willing "Drury Lane" to brother Thomas,''that which was willed me by brother Josiah", also named his brotherWilliam and the latter's wife, Betsy, and his brother-in-law,Jeremiah Gray. Inventory signed by Mary Gray and William Stone.
5. Mary Stone married Jeremiah Gray.

By 1763 John Stone had become a widower and had married Mary, thedaughter of Barton Warren, but then the widow and administratrix ofHarrison Musgrove. On June 6, 1758, she, then being Mrs. Mary Musgrove,shared in the distribution of her father's estate. On April 29, 1760,she was granted letters of administration on the estate of her deceasedhusband, Harrison Musgrove, with Notley Warren and John Warren offeringbond. The final settlement was made by her on May 15, 1762, as MaryMusgrove, and showed distribution to her and unnamed children.
Children of John and Mary (Warren) Stone
6. Matthew Stone married Jane
7. Warren Stone.
8. Elizabeth Stone.
9. Barton Warren Stone married twice. q.v.

John Stone negotiated his will on August 6, 1775, and appointed his wife,Mary, as the executrix. He named the following children: Thomas, Josias,William, John, Matthew, Warren, Elizabeth, and Barton; and grandson JohnStone Gray. The instrument was admitted to probate in Charles County onSeptember 2, 1775, by Samuel Stone, Elizabeth Stone, and TheophilusHanson.

The inventory of his personal estate was taken on May 31, 1776, with MaryStone and Josiah Stone as the executors, and Barton Stone and SamuelStone as the kinsmen. His estate was distributed on November 5, 1776, tothe widow, and the following representatives-William Stone, Josiah Stone,John Stone, Matthew Stone, Warren Stone, Elizabeth Stone, Barton Stone,and John Gray. The sureties for the executors were Thomas Stone andEdward Warren.

Before 1778 his widow with her Stone children either joined or settledwith her Musgrove children in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, then anundeveloped and outpost county of that State.

At the December term of court in 1778, Thomas Stone "one of the survivingadministrators" of John Stone offered a petition setting forth the factthat the decease's estate was then in the hands of Mary Stone and JosiasStone and that most of it had been wasted or removed out of the State andthat he "is in danger of suffering in the responsibility", and thereforethe court ordered that the other executors be summoned to the nextcourt. On February 12, 1779, Benjamin Philphott and Thomas Harris gavebond for Mary Stone, widow, and Josias Stone, executors of John Stone..

NOTES:
John is shown living with his father James in the 1850 census ofSpencer
County, Kentucky, a farmer age 31, born in Kentucky.

John H. Stone is most likely a son of William D. Stone (2284) since,according to the article concerning his son, G. H. Stone, which appearedin "Kentucky: A History of the State; Perrin, Battle & Kniffin, 6th ed. ,1887, Spencer County, it states that John was born in Virginia in 1794and came with his parents that same year to Spencer County, KY where heresided until his death in 1853. We believe that William D. Stonepurchased land from Paul Frohman in Shelby County in 1797 and that ourWilliam Stone first settled in Nelson County, KY., not arriving inSpencer County until sometime before 1806 when his son Thomas Stone wasborn there. We have no explaination for the fact that only one WilliamStone appears in the census for 1810.

MARRIAGE:
At the time of his death, the wife of John H. Stone was mentioned inhis Last Will as Matilda ---. The available marriage records for ShelbyCounty show one marriage for a John Stone to Polly May on October 11,1808 . FHL 259273, Marriages Vol 1-3, 1797-1839.

CENSUS:
John H. Stone first appears in the census for Spencer County in 1840in District 219. Benjamin W. Stone was in District 215, James (W.?)Stone in District 218, George K. Stone in District 221, and Daniel, Elizaand Thomas Stone in District 222. John is between 40-50, there are twomales under 5,
(Gervis and William ?) Matilda is between 30 and 40 and there is onefemale 5 to 10 (Ann B.?).
He was also in the 1850 US Census for Spencer County, KY., in district93 with his brother, Jerrard D. Stone. In district 94 was Thomas O.Stone and in district 95 was another William Stone (not the father ofGeorge and Robert). The 1850 census shows John H. Stone, 55, farmer,VA.; Mildred, 50, KY.; Ann R., 16; Jargis H., 14; William, 11; Mary J. 5.

DEATH:

See SPENCER COUNTY, KY. MARRIAGES AND VITAL STATISTICS, FHL 976.9455V2s,
p 120: DEATHS: Stone, John H., 58, male, married, farmer, Spencer ;Born, Virginia. Father William Stone; d. 17 July, 1853. (In the 1850census of Spencer County, KY., John and Matilda were living next door toa Jarrard D. Stone, born ca. 1805, was married to Delilah, born ca. 1814,and their children
Mary 6, William 4, James 2, Benjamin F., 8 mos., and Elizabeth Stone, 80,believed to be the widow of William D. Stone [1770-1836]. I furthernotice that in the 1840 census, an Eliza, age 60 to 70, was living nearDaniel Stone [1801] and his wife Delilah [1801] with their son John, then7, and 3 males between 20 and 30 years of age. It would seem that Danieland Jarrard D. Stone were brothers caring for their mother Elizabeth,and, in 1840, were caring for younger brothers after the death of theirfather William in 1836. Notwithstanding the above, I have concluded thatDaniel was a son of our William Stone. But John H. Stone must be a son ofWilliam D. Stone.

TTHEW STONE
(16-- -1672)
Matthew Stone, brother to the Governor, likewise settled first on theEastern Shore of Virginia but did not come into, Maryland until a datelater than that of his brother. During March 1651 in Northampton County,Virginia, he signed a document in which he promised to "bee true andfaithful to the Commonwealth of England as it is nowe Established withoutKinge or House of Lords". Thus we find him a member of the PuritanParty, if not, he lacked the courage to espouse the cause of theCavaliers.

Matthew Stone ultimately settled in Calvert County, Maryland, where hedied in 1672 after making a nuncupative will. He named no heirs of hisbody, but bequeathed personalty to John Fernly of Francis, and...,Elizabeth Cornahill, naming Jonathan Marler and William Marshall Sr., asthe executors. Under the English law only personal property could bebequeathed by a nuncupative will, and the fact that he named no childrenis not conclusive that he died without issue. The nuncupative will ofGovernor Leonard Calvert is an outstanding example.

On January 29, 1695, Matthew Stone, of Charles County, stated in courtthat he was 42 years of age and that he was acquainted with John Ward,late of Charles County, deceased. The birth of Matthew was thereforeabout 1653, and he can not possibly be a son or grandson of GovernorStone. It is probable that the Stones of Calvert County who appeartowards the latter part of the seventeenth century are descendants ofMatthew Stone, brother to the Governor

MATTHEW STONE, GENT
(1679 - 1750)

Matthew Stone, son of John, was born about the year 1679, inasmuch as hedeclared himself to be 55 years of age in 1734. He married Rachel, thedaughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Barton) Smoot, of William and MaryParish, Charles County.

PROBATE
Administrator, George R. Stone, appointed 4 September 1876. Fromrecords of Spencer County, KY., Inventory filed 3 October, 1876, Book I312 , 1618; Sales Report filed 14 April, 1877, Book I 362, 1632; FinalAccount filed 5 May 1879, Book 1-99, 655.

His middle initial clearly seems to be A. There is evidence that itstands for Askin. If he was named for his mother's family, it wouldappear to answer the question as to whether her maiden name was "Askin"or "Erskine."

We find Robert A. Stone in the 1830 U. S. Census for New Harmony,Posey County, Indiana, with his family. His age was shown as between 20and 30 and there were two males living in the family, one aged between 15and 20 who is not identified and one under 5, presumed to be the oldestson, William. Because of his age, the older male must have been a youngbrother or nephew. He is gone by the 1840 census. There were twofemales, one 30 to 40 years of age and one 15 to 20 years of age.Candace (Jerauld) Stone reached her 20th birthday on May 3. The olderwoman could have been anyone. (It was probably not her mother). While wedon't have Sophia's birthdate, the oldest sister of Candace, Joanna, wasborn in 1806 and was 24 in 1830. While Sophia could have been born in1890, it is not likely she would have had a child at age 16. It was notRobert's older sister since she was included in the 1830 census livingwith her parents in Spencer County, Kentucky.

The family is next found in the 1840 U. S. Census for Boonville,Warrick Co., Indiana. Robert A. Stone is enumerated as age 30 to 40,with four males in the family. After Robert, two males are 5 to 10,presumably William age 10, and Robert age 8. An unidentified male 15 to20 is also included. (He does not appear in the 1850 census.) There arethree females, Candace shown as 20 to 30 years of age, one 5 to 10(Mahala aged 5), and one under 5 (Matilda aged 2). The female shown inthe 1830 census as 30 to 40 years of age is no longer living with thefamily.

By 1850, the Robert A. Stone family was living in Taylorsville,Spencer Co., Kentucky, southeast of Louisville. It appears he rejoinedhis parents who had lived here for many years. Robert was enumerated atage 46, Candace was included at age 39 and six children includingWilliam, age 20, the oldest. Robert was a farmer and William, ablacksmith. Candace was shown as having been born in Rhode Island.Living next door were William and Rebecca Stone. William was 81 andRebecca, 76. Both were born in Virginia and were the parents of Robert.Next door on the other side was Robert's brother, George R . Stone, age49, his wife Mary A. Stone, age 43, and their seven children.

In the 1860 U.S. Census for Taylorsville, the family appeared withseven children, including William, age 30. Candis (sic), was shown asborn in Indiana rather than in Rhode Island [which was incorrect].Living next door was a John B. Stone, age 27, his wife Malissa, age 25and their two young children. We have not identified John and neitherRobert nor George had a son named John B. Stone. Also found in thiscensus in Taylorsville was the family of George and Mary. Living nextdoor to George is William Stone, 32, and his wife Sarah and their 19 yearold son James. Also in the Taylorsville District was a William Stone,age 39, his wife Nancy and their son Dudley, age 13. All of these Stoneswere born in KY. We can only speculate that one of the Williams and Johnabove, were the sons of a brother of Robert and George. George Stoneshows a son William W. who was 24 in the 1850 census and who could be theWilliam m. Sarah who lived next door to George in the 1860 census.

NOTES:
Received from Donna Mullan of Indianapolis a reprint taken from "TheJeffersonian" of Spencer County, KY, for 3 February, 1916, originallyappearing in The Spencer Magnet. Whether this is Sallie E. Stone remainsto be proved:
MISS SALLIE STONE DEAD: Miss Sallie Stone, aged about 82 (thus bornca 1834) died at the home of her nephew, Zack Stone, of near BloomfieldMiss Stone was a member of the pioneer Stone family and the last of herimmediate family. She was sick only a short time, her extreme age makingit impossible for her to overcome disease. The most of her life (sic)she had spent in this county. She and her sisters lived for years in theresidence now occupied by Mr. William Carrithers. They then moved toTaylorsville and lived here for years. Since the death of her sistersshe had made her home with Zack Stone. Charlie Stone is another nephewand Mrs. Mollie Patent, Miss Lula Stone and Miss Mary Hall Stone arenieces. The body was brought here for interment Tuesday afternoon."
The 1850 census of Spencer County shows a Sarah E. Stone age five ,indicating a birth date of about 1850. Thus she would have been only 66at the time of her death.

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 asElizabeth Stone shared in the estate of her mother Rebecca Howard in 1770.

In 1778 Samuel Stone took the oath of allegiance and fidelity to theState of Maryland in Charles County, his name being on the list of "HisWorshipful Richard Barnes' Returns".

In 1778 he was one of the bondsmen for Richard Robins Reeder, theexecutor of Esther Harrison. At the tax list of 1783 he was assessed for100 acres of "Poynton Manor", and had six in his immediate family.Richard Marshall in his will, dated 1784, spoke of "my half brother andsister Samuel Stone's children". At the first census of 1790, SamuelStone Sr. was living in Charles County with himself and another male overthe age of 16, one male under 16, two females, and eight slaves.

THOMAS STONE, GENT.'

Thomas Stone, eldest son of Governor William Stone and Verlinda Cottonhis wife, was born about the year 1635 in Accomac County, Virginia. Hisyouth was spent in that county, and as a young man he accompanied hisparents to Maryland. By 1663 he had married Mary -----, presumably aMaryland maiden, but whose patrimony remains unestablished to this day.

Children of Thomas and Mary Stone
1. Richard Stone, no further record.
2. William Stone married Theodosia Wade. q.v

On July 15, 1651, there was surveyed for Thomas Stone 350 acres ofland known by the name of "St. Leonard's", lying at the mouth of St.Leonard's Creek, which on September 9, 1663, he and his wife conveyed toRichard Smith, of Calvert County, the same being held by Richard Smith aslate as 1707. At the time of his father's death in 1660 Thomas Stone wasdomiciled at Bustard's Island in the Patuxent, but he later establishedhis seat at "Poynton Manor" in Nanjemoy Hundred. The warrant for "PoyntonManor" named 4,000 acres, but later by a resurvey it was found to contain5,000 acres. The augmented share of Thomas Stone was 1,460 acres,thereupon, he assigned 100 acres to Henry Frankon, 300 acres to FrancisThornton and Thomas Bayly, and 300 acres to John Cabell.

On February 2, 1663, Thomas Stone conveyed to Henry Hyde a portion of"Westbury Manor", formerly belonging to Thomas Weston, and the next yeara 200-acre portion to Henry Banister. On May 28, 1667, Thomas Stone andMary his wife, of Poynton Manor, deeded to John Stone, Gent., 500 acresof "Nanjemoy" for 20,000 pounds of tobacco.

In 1661 Thomas Stone was appointed a commissioner of Charles County, withHenry Adams, James Lindsey, Thomas Baker, Francis Pope, William Marshall,Walter Beane, and Joseph Harrison, Gent. In 1663 he appointed WilliamCalvert his attorney and described him as "brother."
The will of Thomas Stone was negotiated in Charles County on April 24,1676, and admitted to probate on October 5, 1676, by John and ElizabethStone. The entire estate was to be held in trust by his widow, Mary,until his two sons arrived at the age of 18 years. Richard was toinherit the plantation then leased by Simon Stevens and a portion of"Poynton Manor," while William was to receive the residue of the landsincluding the parental dwelling.

Within a few months after her husband's death, the widow married JohnBlackfan. Her second matrimonial adventure was brief, for "John Blackfanof Nanjemoy" dated his will January 31, 1677, which was proved on March12, 1677, by Samuel Eaton and Robert Polts. He named a brother andsisters Mary and Elizabeth, and bequeathed property to his step-sonsWilliam and Richard Stone, providing no posthumous child was born to hiswidow. The residue of the estate was devised to his wife Mary, whom henamed as executrix.

At the September 1677 court, the sheriff issued citations to "MaryBlackfan the relict of Thomas Stone and the executrix of John Blackfan"who had been the executor of Richard Owens. His widow married thirdlyJoseph Manning. She predeceased her last husband, but is believed tohave become the mother of his children as there is no knowledge of aprevious marriage. Joseph Manning died in 1717 and named his daughter,Esther the wife of Thomas Matthews, and his son John Manning. In1718/19, John Manning of Charles County by will named Matthew Stone andThomas Stone Jr. as overseers of his The will, however, was not proveduntil 1735
