Washington Stone of Franklin/Nash Cty NC
Washington Stone was my 3 great grandfather. I would like to learn any stories or information about him. He was born to Merritt and Happy Stallings Stone around 1804 in Franklin County. His siblings included William Stone(Anna Boon) McCullar Stone(Emily Finch), Elias Stone, Mary Ann Howell Stone, and Penelope Stone Boon. Washington was married three times. His first marriage to Nancy J Edwards of Spring Hope on October 12, 1829, was written up in the Raleigh Star. He and Nancy had six children: Elizabeth (Asbury Baines), William G W Stone,(Sallie Ann Boone), Benjamin F Stone, Martha Caroline Stone (Jeremiah Griffin), Sarah Angelina Stone (G T Whitfield) and Louisa Stone (SIdney R Perry) After Nancy's death, he married ELizabeth Pitts of Franklin Cty on October 20,1849. They had a son, Thomas H. Stone(I descended from). Elizabeth is shown on the 1850 Census but not the 1860, so she may have died very young. Washington's last marriage was to Letha Lancaster in 1867. There was no record of a will or estate for Washington and his farm may have been sold to settle debts. I am interested in sharing information with any descendants or relatives of Washington Stone or his siblings.
