Thomas STONE, Baltimore Co., MD (born 1650s?)
Thomas STONE of Baltimore Co. may not have been married on 3/1/1691/92 when he conveyed land to Barbara GARRETT and her heirs, inasmuch as no wife signed to show her consent.He m. Christian ___ by 6/29/1704 when she consented to his conveyance of the remaining 50 acres of that tract.Christian was still alive on 11/26/1709 when she consented to his sale of land.A subsequent wife was the thrice-widowed Elizabeth SAMPSON BAGFORD HINTON (maiden name unknown), whom he m. by 1722.It appears that Thomas STONE m. Mary GAINE(S), widow of William GAINE(S) (prior to marrying Christian) between Nov. 1693 (when Wm. died) and May 1696, as indicated by the following record:
1696
May ye. [the] 23Mr. Edward Boothby of Baltemore County Depty. Commisry. made return of severall accounts by him passed & allowed in the sd. County ..." including
"The account of Thomas STONE & Mary his wife Exx. of Wm. GAYNE late of Baltemore County decd. ..."
Source: Prerogative Court (Testamentary Proceedings), Liber 16, folio 170, May 23, 1696 (2-32-5) (MSA citation given to me in 1983).
In my opinion, Thomas STONE was brother of Barbara who m. Dennis GARRETT.He may have been the Thomas Stone who was apprenticed on 12/19/1668 to serve for 4 years in VA.He may have been the one by that name who was in MD by 1674 when claimed as a headright.Thomas was in Baltimore Co. by 12/8/1679 when he witnessed several deeds between Charles and Sarah GORSUCH of Talbot Co., and David JONES of Baltimore Co.Thomas may have been born c. 1651 or 1652 based on (1) his sister being born on 3/5/1653/54 (calculated); and (2) his being "age over 60" in August 1715 when he petitioned to be levy free.Thomas STONE and his sister Barbara were long-lived; he died on or about 12/18/1734 at about age 82 or 83 if the above estimation of his birth year is correct, and she died on 1/19/1732/33 in her 79th year (i.e., 78 years-old).It's interesting to note that he finally was made levy free in Nov. 1733, only a year before he died.
