Hi Wikitreers,
There is interest in getting him connected to the correct parents. He was connected but no source is found to his parents; so we need some good sourcing and collaboration in connecting him.
If no source can be found I will disconnect him from current parents and place a research note explaining who he was connected to and why disconnected.
Please review his profile and comments.
Familysearch doesn’t have him connected and there is a note in Familysearch from a member in collaboration showing:
“The children listed here were born before Margaret married Micajah, so they apparently weren't hers. Micajah probably had an earlier wife. However, Margaret may have given Micajah children, such as William Stone, who was listed with Mary Ann Stone Campbell in the 1850 and 1860 censuses”
I would agree a man marrying on December 20, 1824 at about age 39/40 probably was married previously!
Thank you
Note: the daughter Martha H (Stone) Wilkinson (1819 - 1885) was born before Micajah married Margaret Fields
Also the 18th century is not my specialty. I focus on the 19th, but he was connected and I can’t find a source showing parental lineage.
Should he be merged with https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stone-26926?
I have disconnected the daughter Martha of Micajah from his wife Margaret (Fields) Stone (1790 - aft. 1860); As mother to Martha as no viable source found. See research notes for Martha H (Stone) Wilkinson (1819 - 1885)
Addendum: Let’s also consider the father Richard Stone who he is connected to (as uncertain) was apparently murdered in 1825 by his son Micajah at the time this Micajah is marrying and having a family. I’d say it’s clear to disconnect but need input.
