| Lydia (Unknown) Stone migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640). Join: Puritan Great Migration Project Discuss: pgm |
Lydia married Gregory Stone, as his second wife, between 1626 and 1628 in England. Their marriage record has not been found and the precise date and location are not known.
Geoffrey Fiske and Mary Cooke of Saint James South Elmham had a daughter Lydia of an appropriate age,[1] and the Fiske and Stone families intermarried elsewhere, but as yet no clear proof connects their Lydia with the wife of Gregory Stone.
Lydia and Gregory had three children, baptized at Nayland between 1628/29 and 1632/33.
They and their family migrated to New England about 1635, settling first in Watertown and later in Cambridge.
Two additional children are named as Lydia's own in the membership list of the Cambridge church in 1658/59: John Cooper and Lydia Fiske "now deceased". These are presumed to be Lydia's children from a prior marriage (record of which has not been found) to a Cooper (whose given name is not known, though some claim he may have been Simon Cooper of Dedham).
Lydia, their children, and her then-living Cooper descendants (son John and granddaughter Lydia Fiske) are named in Gregory's 1672 will. She died in Cambridge 24 Jun 1674[2]

Update - she has the right husbands and children
If correct, the new Fiske-70 (whatever it's called) and Unk.-362 should be merged. Is that possible? Thank you. D. Jenkins
