THE Stone Family is among the forty-nine "best families"
selected by the American Historical-Genealogical Society for whom the
Society has published family histories during the past few years.
The Stone Family has been prominent in the British Empire and in the United
States, its members having played important roles in war and in peace.
Family pride is a commendable trait and should be cultivated. All Stones
have just cause to be proud of their family history and traditions.
In references No. 7 and No. 14 we find the following regarding the origin
and meaning of the name Stone:
The surname of "Stone" was originally taken by those who resided beside some
remarkable roadside stone or rock. We find many instances of "at the stone,"
such as "Warin de la Stane" (1273), "Reginald ad Ston," "Robert atte Stone,"
etc.
This is a very familiar local surname in England, and there are towns and
parishes so called in Stafford, Buckingham, Gloucester, Kent and Worchester.
The data in this volume is gathered from reliable sources. We have selected
what we consider the most important material. Many of the daughters, and
sons for whom no issue was shown, have been omitted from the pedigrees. A
missing symbol indicates that a name has been omitted. Those desiring
further information are advised to consult the volumes mentioned in the list
of References.
The compiler hopes that, in producing this volume, he is bringing to the
Stone Family information which will be of interest and value to them, and
that he is rendering an important service to the public. He and his
associates will be glad to give their co-operation to members of the family
who are interested in having a complete genealogy of the family published.
Unless otherwise plainly shown, the persons in this volume whose names are
accompanied by three figures are children of the immediately preceding
persons bearing immediately preceding numbers. All persons in each group
bearing the same letter as a part of their numbers are directly related. The
generations of the descendants of those bearing numbers of three figures are
represented as follows. However, some of our material is published as copied
from various records without rearrangement according to this system.
