Do You have "Sources" for an ancestor named William Stone born before 1800?

Question

When I was a kid we would connect the dots to make a picture.  If you connected incorrectly you saw something unrecognizable, and didn't fit into any picture.   If you connected correctly you received a clear picture ready to color.  The Stone Name Study wants to connect the dots and make clear connected profile pictures, that connect to other pictures.  WE want to color them in with as much detail as possible.

We are starting with some of the more common first names for the Stone line.  Currently that name is William.

The Stone Name Study is looking for any and all resources, sources and any family information for ancestors named William Stone born before 1800.   On WikiTree alone we have identified 313 William Stone profiles, about 85 of these profiles William Stone's were born before 1800.

We want to verify information and connect each  to their Correct Stone Lines backed by sources that can be viewed by anyone without having to purchase a membership elsewhere to view them.

If you have a William Stone born before 1800 in your family tree and would like to share your information and sources please contact http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Stone_Name_Study Stone Name Study and enter your public comment or respond to G2G question.

We are waiting to hear from you,

Respectfully,

Cheryl Stone Caudill

Hi Ross,

My first question would be where did you come across this William Stone? Aside from the children listed in the profile on WikiTree, which is missing the spouse Mary Donall, you mention in your G2G answer, There is no ancestor or descendant trail to obtain any leads.

Looking into this William's profile I see where you created it on May 17, 2016, but where did you get this information.  This would be a start in researching your William Stone.

Thanks Ros,

The Stone One Name Study is in the process of taking on one common first name, William is the first and trying to connect and /or find out as much as possible about them.

As stated above we have 313 William Stone's alone on WikiTree.

Shirley,

Do you have the date of the William Stone's birth and/or death?  My Stone family is from around Fayette County, Ky and many still live there.

Ancestors came out of Virginia.

Just trying to sort out the William Stone's.  Thanks, I am going to add tis information to the Stone One Name Study in our odd's and ends section.

Only an estimated birth date of 1733; no documentation other than what I posted here. Appears to be the father of William H Stone, born c 1753 and died Feb 1825 in Fayette, KY. He is on 1810 & 1820 census in Fayette, KY.

Does WikiTree already have a profile for this William Stone?  If so could you add the Will information to this profile?

Answer 7

I've been working on William S. Stone, b. c. 1725 in Stratford, Virginia, son of Thomas and Katherine (Broughton) Stone, married Hannah Conway and died at Caraway Creek, Randolph, North Carolina.  He has a son William, born about 1751 in Prince William Virginia and died in Surry County, North Carolina.:  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stone-9728

Apparently, there's a book, "The Chronicle of Thomas Stone of Hamilton Parish in Colonial Virginia", that tells of the William who married Hannah Conway but I can find only secondary sources for it.

There is also:  The Stones of Poynton Manor, A Genealogical History of Captain William Stone, etc.: https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/005763794

I've also found:  Genealogy of the Stone family originating in Rhode Island:  https://archive.org/details/genealogyofstone00ston

And there's "Stone connections : a more complete genealogy of the Stone family" but it's not on-line yet.  Just snippets at Hathitrust.

Answer 8

Stone-15673

Born 26 Feb 1791 in Maryland

Died 31 mar 1856 in Taney County, MO

William Tillford Stone married Martha Haley.

Many on ancestry has him tied to John Hoskins Stone a Notable.  I show it but it is not confirmed by any sources as of yet.
