Thomas Stone, the signer of the Declaration of Independence was married and had children.He is my Uncle.I have been to Habre de Venture, his mansion at Port Tobacco MD.He was married to Margaret Brown the daughter of Dr. Gustavus Brown, the attending physician to George Washington.I am decended directly from his brother, Ezekial Stone.His wife Margaret died from taking Mercury as a smallpox vaccination and he supposedly died from a grieving heart about a year later in 1787.He was about to get on the boat to take him to England for some recovery and suddenly died at Port Tobacco.Hopes this helps some.
