Jacob Stoner settled in Botetourt County, VA and passed the remainder of his life there, dying in February 1834. His first wife died and he was a second time married November 2, 1820 Barbara Garst becoming his wife. Mr. Stoner was the father of 17 children (8 by his first marriage), namely: David; Susanna, born March 21, 1808; Abraham Dec 31, 1810; Jacob Oct 23, 1812; William, Sept 28, 1814; John October 19, 1816; Catherine, Dec 13, 1818; Daniel, Oct 18, 1820; Elizabeth who was born Dec 19, 1821 and died October 9, 1843; Joel born May 26, 1823; Barbara Oct 7 1824; Magdaline Feb 26, 1826; Sarah Dec 18, 1827; Hannah Dec 3, 1829; Rebecca Oct 18, 1831; Lydia b.

In 1831 he came to this county and entered land on Sections 12 and 13, 80 acres on each section and in 1837 he settled here permanently, locating on the Ruth place south of Ladoga, where he superintended the farm for his stepmother, living there until his marriage in 1841 to Ann, daughter of Jacob DEARDORFF. He then removed to his present place of residence, which he bought of Jesse RUTH. The land had already been cleared, and by years of remitting industry he has brought it into a fine condition and has it amply provided with buildings, including a large brick house in which he has a home replete with comfort. At one time he owned eleven hundred and 40 acres of land, but he has divided the greatest part of it among his children. Mrs. Stoner, who so faithfully shared with him the toils incidental to pioneer life and was of so much help to him in the upbuilding of their home, died Oct 14, 1878 and her mortal remains were placed in the stoner cemetery. They had six children, five of whom are living: Catherine, who was born Feb 23, 1852 and married WH HIGGINS; Caroline and Benjamin who were born April 22, 1854, the former marrying R. B.
