Simon Stone was born about 1450, the son of John .[1]
Simon Stone married about 1480 Elizabeth. [2]
Simon's name appears iln the list of the homage at the court held in 7 Henry VII (1491-2). [1]
"At the court held in 16 Henry VII (1500-1), Simon Stone set his essoin (excuses) for non-attendance by William Moyes. He held an estate of the Manor of Bovills in Ardlewigh called "Walles" and an estate in the adjoining parish of Great Bromley called "Goodennes" where he settled and resided. Henceforth for five generations and durig nearly a hundred and fifty years the ancestors of the Stones of America lived in Great Bromley."[1]
"Simon Stone lived in the reigns of Henry VI (1422-1461), Edward IV (1461-1483), Edward V (1483), Richard III (1`483-1`485), and Henry VII (1485-1`509). During periods of the first thirty years of his life, the Waqrs of th Roses nearly exterminated the old feudal families of England; but after the Bqattle of Bosworth Fieedl ands accession of Henry VIIin 1485, civil disturbances practically ceased. The Wars of the Roses, while disastrous to the nobility and landed gentry, were not generally deterimewntal to the youmanry and the middle and lower classes; agricuture and forewign commercce flourished, manufacturing greatly increased, and taxes were low' as a result, rebuiding in Englnad was extensive in the latter half of the fifteenth century, particularly of rual churches and farmhouses. But during this period the morale of the Roman CXhurch became increasingly unspiritual and corrupt, which decadence resulted in the next century in the Reformation. [3]
Simon Stone lived to an age of about fifty-five years, dying betgween 12 May 1506 and 10 Feb 1510/11, the dates of the making and probating of his will. This original will is in the Stone Collections in the Manuscript Department of the British Museum in London. [3]
The will names Elizabeth "my wyf"[3] Davy my son[3] Water my son[3] Myhyll my son[3] Willm my son [3]
The content of the will indicates that Simo Stone was a prosperous and substantial yeoman, and his direction that he be buried in the church is significant of his superior local position, as only the landed gentry and the very wealthiest of the yeomanry secured sepulture within the rural church edifices, all others being buried in the churchyards.[3]
