This profile is part of the Stone Name Study.
William Stone was born about 1674. He passed away about 1749
He is not named in his father's Will.
He is named as executor of his mother's estate in her Will dated 2 July 1711 in Richmond County, Virginia,[1] and in the Inventory and Appraisement of her estate recorded 5 June 1717.[2]
The parents of his mother, Sarah Stone are unknown but may have been from Gloucester County since they were living there in Kingston Parish in 1679/80 when he bought land on Totuskey Creek from Gyles and Mary Cole in 1672, and he may have gone to Gloucester and married Sarah and then came back to Totuskey Creek with his family. Gloucester County Records are lost but some may be found in nearby counties.[3]
On 20 Jan 1709/10, he and Elizabeth Dennett were married in St Peter's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia.[4][5] Some of their children's births are recorded in St Peter's Parish Register, (1710, p. 41). Most appear to be named in his will, below-described, and his wife Elizabeth is also named.[6]
  1. William Stone 'III' - Oct 1710[4] heir of his father's 303 acre plantation plus 100 adjacent acres
  2. Ann (Stone) Manire
  3. Margaret (Stone) Hammond
  4. Phillip Stone
  5. Elizabeth (Stone) Taylor
  6. Henry Stone
  7. Katherine Stone
  8. Sarah (Stone) Harper
  9. Lucey (Stone) Green
William Stone II and Elizabeth, his wife left Richmond County and moved to Amelia County, Virginia in 1740. There is a deed recorded for him in Amelia County Court House at the village of Amelia Court House, Virginia, dated May 15, 1740. In deed Book I, 1735 - 1743, on page 299 - "Deed. Thomas Day of Nottoway Parish, Isle of Wright County, Va. to William Stone of North Farnham Parish in Richmond County, Va... May 15, 1740"... Consideration (none given), WIT: (none given) 400 acres. Deed Acknowledged by Thomas Day and ordered recorded.
At Court held May 15, 1741. Also, on page 297 is a similar deed, dated May 14, 1741. Thomas Day of Nottoway Parish, Isle of Wight County, Va. to William Stone of North Farnham Parish, Richmond, Va., Consideration; 17 pounds. Wit: none. 400 acres, Bounded in part by a small branch, the County line, and Birchen Swamp. Deed Ackn. by Thomas Day and ordered recorded at Court held May, 15, 1741.
The soil was rich for growing tobacco when William and Elizabeth Stone moved with their family to Amelia County in search of new land. Neighbors of them went to Amelia with them. Dodsons and Creels went along and had deeds of land in the county.
William and Elizabeth Stone died in Amelia County, Virginia. His will is recorded in Will Book 1 - 1735 - 1761, on page 55, in Amelia County Court House. The Will is dated Dec. 2, 1748, and proven April 21, 1749. Witnesses: Dibdall Holt, Hugh Williams, and Poindexter Mosbey... Exor. son-in-law, William Manire and Joseph Harper. (This Joseph Harper is not the same family as the HARPERS of the Raph HARPER Family, but not proven!) Leg.... Land and all my estate in Northern Neck of Virginia be sold and money equally divided between my children, viz.: Ann Manire, Margaret Hammond, Philip Stone, Elizabeth Taylor, Henry Stone, Katherine Stone, Sarah Harper and Lucey Green..... The Will is very long because he then gives directions for each child to have the rent from his Plantation on Nottoway on separate years, and leaves slaves for them, all named...for the son Henry, he says "Son Henry; if William Read, father of my son Henry's Wife refuses giving them a legacy or some assistance towards living, then the horse, saddle and gun given Henry be returned to my other children.... 200 acres to Joshua Hightower. Hightower to pay Exor. 20 Pounds.... William Stone'
Most of William and Elizabeth's children had married before they left Richmond County and their husbands and wives moved to Amelia with them. The daughter, Katherine later married Charles Connally after her father's death, but it seems that he went to Amelia County from North Farnham Parish too.
The son, Philip Stone left Amelia County about 1750 and went to Johnston County, North Carolina. In 1750, Philip Stone of Johnston County, N.C. sold land in Amelia County, Virginia, left to him by his father. Ref: Amelia County Deed Book 4 pp. 31, 32, 33.
On November 14, 1750, Philip Stone of Johnston County, N.C. conveyed to Charles Connely and wife Katherine 200 acres for 5 shillings...Land left by his father. Ref. ibid., p. 84.
On April 23, 1752.. Conveyed to Charles Connally and Robert Taylor, 100 acres in Nottoway Parish, Amelia Co., Va. for 16 pounds, were Dibdall Holt now lives, Ref. ibid, p. 33.[3]

  1. Vincent (boy), son of Winey
  2. Winey, mother of Vincent
  3. Peter (boy), brother of Bob

Stone-20133 and Stone-1703 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same birth year, same death date and place

William Stone of Amelia County was originally of North Farnham Parish in Richmond County, Virginia. That is clear in the deed records when he purchased the property in Amelia. North Farnham Parish and Richmond County were not part of New Kent County where William Stone and Elizabeth Dennett were married (and they were long dead by 1740). In addition, there appears to be no evidence to indicate he had a son William (not mentioned in his will). It appears to me that Elizabeth Dennett needs to be disconnected as his wife, and William III needs to be removed (disconnected) as his son. It looks like several folks have mentioned below, so is there a reason it has it not been changed?

I'll come back to finish the US SoCol bio builder review once I've had a chance to better digest the sources, making sure that they're attributable to the correct person. I changed his suffix to Jr because that is all that I have seen in the records, as opposed to well-meaning researchers attempting to count the generations of William down the line.

Note: The chaff from an Ancestry import was causing an error for the page, and it was essentially repetitious, non-essential or non-informative verbiage giving Ancestry credit. I believe Ancestry is sufficiently linked and acknowledged, now.

There is a memoir written by William Stone's great grandson, William Taylor, when he was in his 80's. He talks about his great grandparents, William and Elizabeth Stone and the fact that they did not approve of their daughter, Elizabeth Stone marrying Robert Taylor. They basically cut her off financially when she married him. She and Robert Taylor proceeded to make their own fortune and turned down the family's offer of money in later years. This extremely long memoir is on Ancestry.com under our William Taylor gallery (Bethany LaGrone Family Tree). Sally Knutson, another descendant, has the original manuscript and transcribed it. I will be happy to email it to anyone who wants it.

That's great. I would be especially interested if the Fann descendants are mentioned. Thanks.

I agree with Eric on this one. After much double-checking and consideration, the known facts (from St. Peter's records) are best represented by William II (Stone-4569). Stone-1703 seems to be misplaced, and probably should be deleted by someone who has the credentials to do so.

PPP for multiple reasons including there are several people of same name, place, and time on WikiTree; multiple duplicates; prevent addition of erroneous parents; and confusion due to bad internet trees. Under no circumstances remove the PPP from this profile without first contacting the project - especially in case of proposed merges

William Stone that married Elizabeth Dennent is a different line. Its is true this profiles wife was also Elizabeth. All this profiles children ended up on the William that married Elizabeth Dennett but both that William and Elizabeth both died January 1718 in St. Peters Parish, New Kent County VA.
