I think you may be looking for this book. "The Chronicle of Thomas Stone of Hamilton Parish in Colonial Virginia". The book covers the history of Thomas Stone of Hamilton Parish who was born about 1699. All indications this Thomas was the great grandson of Gov. William Stone of Maryland and an uncle to Thomas Stone the Signer of the Declaration of Independence. The book also covers Thomas Stone Jr. who married Mary Butler and remained in Fauquier County Virginia, William who married Hannah Conway and who lived in Surry, NC, and John Stone who married Mildruge Corder and who lived Fauquier County, Virginia and later in Laurens County, SC. The book has newly discovered records which significantly modify what was written in the Stones of Surry, The Stones of Poynton Manor and ….of The Stones. The content is very well sourced and is footnoted throughout. It contains plats and accurate scale plat drawings created for the book, deed abstracts, images of original grants, first time transcriptions of deeds, family wills and probate records, images of Revolutionary War records, and old historic letters. It also provides maps, images, and color photos of the actual Licking Run and Carters Run homesteads in Virginia. The data is analyzed relative to other period information. The book has one complete chapter dedicated to the grandsons and a grand- daughter in-law who fought in the revolution. There are two versions of the book one is the Std. Version which covers the above material and a Surry – Stokes version which also contains a history for John Stone and his wife Bethsey Curry Stone. In earlier histories John was confused as William’s brother, in reality John was William’s son. Research for this book has taken several years and was conducted on site in the counties where the family members lived. Additionally, Newman’s archives in Maryland were reviewed, as well as, major state archives like the Library of Virginia, The North Carolina Archives in Raleigh, NC and the South Carolina Archives in Columbia, SC.
