Decatur/Decater Stone

Dear Larry, I am also descended from Decatur Stone through his son Frank. I assume you are probably helping a descendent of Frank's brother, Wayne. (I have a photo of Uncle Wayne and his daughter.) Frank had one child, my mother, named Rosa Lee. She married V.C. Riley. You are correct about Decatur. I have the information on his wife, Alice's death. (I'll have to dig it out.) She is buried in/near Clayton N.M. Decatur died in Vernon, Texas. My father knows where. I would love to exchange information and find other descendents. I haven't been able to find Decatur before the Ill. census. I also have some photos of him,(and one of him with Alice that isn't very good.)Decatur had a sister. I've wondered if I could find her descendents if I'd have any more luck. My aunt gave me Alice's tree,(what she had of it), going back to Alice's grandfather. You can email me directly at [email protected]
Thanks, Diane
