Thomas Stone, son of William and Theodosia (Wade) Stone, was born at "Poynton Manor", Durham Parish. As Captain Thomas Stone in 1743 he testified as being 47 years of age and in 1769 as 73 years of age. He married Margarey (???).

Thomas Stone negotiated his will on July 27, 1770, and named his wife, Margarey, as executrix and at the same time devised her the dwelling-plantation and one-third of the personal estate during life. To his single daughter, Mary, he willed the land "which my father bequeathed to me where William Mansell formerly lived and which is now in the possession of Barton Stone". He named his daughters, Verlinda Smith and Theodosia MacConchie, and his granddaughters, Lilias MacConchie, Mary Stone Smith, and Margarey Smith. The residue of the estate he willed to his son, William Stone who was also named as executor, and to his daughter, Mary Stone.

On January 4, 1771, he drew up a codicil ... "Be it known that ... I gave to my daughter Margarey Smith was because she died before me and I gave her what I desire". The instrument was admitted to probate in Charles County on November 4, 1771, by Richard Barnes and Mathias Ralley.

The inventory of his personal estate was taken on November 20, 1771, and appraised at £1,090.3.3, with William MacConchie and Mary Stone as the kinsmen. His widow, Margarey Stone, certified to the inventory on March 25, 1772 as "the surviving executor".

His widow, Margarey Stone, made her will on January 7, 1773, and named the following heirs: daughters Theodosia MacConchie and Mary Stone; and granddaughters Lillias MacConchie, Mary Stone Smith, and Margarey Smith. She appointed her daughter Mary and son-in-law William MacConchie as the executors. The will was presented for probate in Charles County on June 10, 1773, by Richard Barnes, James York, and James Muncaster.

In 1783 Theophilus Hanson by order of the Land Office resurveyed that portion of "Poynton Manor" which belonged to the heirs of Thomas and Richard Stone and found that the tract contained 1,736 acres instead of the supposedly 1,000. The extra 736 acres were divided among the following "present owners" all heirs of Thomas Stone--William MacConchie 101 acres, William Jones 135 acres, Mary Stone 100 acres, and Margarey Smith 400 acres. On April 16, 1799, Mary Stone Jones, of Charles County, for £1,000 conveyed to Samuel Jones 468 acres of "Poynton Manor" on which she lived and which she inherited from her grandfather Thomas Stone and his brother Richard Stone through her mother.
