"Jeremiah Stone was born in Cranston, Mashantatack, and learned the trade of a tanner and currier, a business which he followed, more or less, most of his life. When but sixteen years old, he married Dinah Knight, daughter of Nehemiah Knight, Esquire, of Cranston, and some ten years afterwards bought a tract of land in the South part of Scituate, adjoining Coventry, and commenced life, in earnest, as a farmer... Here he passed a long life; here reared a family of seven children, who reached maturity... He was a man of ability and energy, inclined to impatience; social, religious, economical, with little inclination to study or read; with but few aspirations for improvement, and a great lover of home, which was always rendered attractive by one of the best of wives. He was much respected in the town, and was, for some years, a Justice of the Peace.... He survived his wife some twenty years and, in his old age, married Mrs. Esther Fry, widow of the late Benjamin Fry, of Foster. He died when about eighty, and his remains rest in a wall-enclosed cemetery on the farm where he lived and died, and by the side of his father, Captain William." ^[1]
