Richard Stone Richard Stone was born in Virginia about 1719 (see Sons of the American Revolution document below) and died in 1797. He married Mary Wynne. He has been detached from William Stone III as father.
From the Daily Press. Newport News, Virginia. May 11, 1982, Sun. Page 92. As already observed, members of the Winn (Wynne, Wynn) family married several times into the Stone family. The progenitor of this particular branch of the family was William Stone, planter, of Bruton Parish, York Co., Va., probably a descendant of Gov. William Stone of Maryland. The will of William Stone of Bruton Parish, dated 11-25-1729, prob. 2-6- or 16-1729 (York Co., Va. Wills, Orders, etc. 17, I. 44) names wife Sarah and their children William, Ashwell, Elizabeth, and Mary. The younger William Stone (b. 1710), planter, and his wife Elizabeth, dau of John Roberson, migrated from York through Henrico, Goochland, and Cumberland counties to Lunenburg Co. (Va.) where he died (inventory of his estate recorded 3-3-1761. Lunenburg W.B. 2, p73), leaving at least three sons, William Jr., John, and Richard.
The wife of Richard Stone, son of William and Elizabeth, was named Mary, probably Mary Yancy. Their children were:

But William Stone-7196 of Accomack and Stafford, Virginia has been attached as his father, with absolutely no evidence. See my comment from yesterday, that William and his wife were married in 1727, but Richard was born in 1722. I have removed William Stone-7196 as his father.
This profile refers to his brother, John Stone. The profile for William Stone-7196 lists his known children. None of them were named either Richard or John. If you don't have something connecting Richard to William and Elizabeth Ann Stone, would you please disconnect them as his parents. Thanks!
I believe it's best to remove Richard's parents for now.
Sincerely,
Krista and Bill James
Is there anyone else who could have been his parents? Is there any possibility that the dates are wrong? SAR says 1719, DAR says circa 1720. That buys us a few more years, but not quite enough.
( I'm just trying to clear up the 205 and 305 errors...)
