Elisha Stone, Woodbury, CT

Elisha Stone, born 14 Oct 1709 in Guilford, Ct was fourth generation and the son of Benajah Stone and Hannah DeWolfe.
Benajah was the eldest child of Benajah Stone and Hester Kirby.
Hannah DeWolfe was either a daughter or grand-daughter of Edward DeWolfe of Old Lyme.
My source for the above information is "The family of William Stone" by Edward Perry Stone.
I do not know Edward's source at this time, though I can find out as I live in Connecticut.If the records that he accessed exist, then I should be able to find them.
Benajah had five children and of those children, he only carries his son Benajah on in the genealogy.That is the bad news.
In addition to the book, I checked the local copy of the Barbour Collection for Guilford and Woodbury.I found no listing for Elisha.
I have found mistakes both in Edward's work and in the Barbour.In two weeks, I will be in Hartford and I will be able to check the master copy of Barbour and other sources that they have at the State Historical Library.
If you desire, I can furnish you with information concerning the entire line from William down to Benajah.
As for me, I am descended from William Stone also.However, my lineage is through William's son William.
