I have information to contribute to the profile of Alice (Hinde) Stone. This is what I can add:

  • Confirmed Maiden Name. 
  • Confirmed Shradrach Stone as Spouse
  • Confirmed John Hinde & Joan Harris as her Parents 

These are the sources I am using:

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding? Thank you!

What sources are you using?  Your post does not say.

My Source is a shared Family Tree on Family Search. Includes the stated information
My Source is a Shared Family Tree on Family Search Database

Hi Mike. See

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources

which says:

A family tree on Geni, Ancestry, MyHeritage, Family Search, or any other user-generated tree (like WikiTree itself) is not a sufficient source for creating a pre-1700 profile. They may be valuable resources and may help you find original, reliable sources, but they must never be the only source.

So what you mention is not itself a suitable source. Perhaps it points to better sources, but if so you should use those instead, not the FamilySearch tree.
