I am a Stone descendant of Joseph Stone.My family legend says that Daniel Stone immigrated to America in 1621 landed in Maine,with his wife Susan, and 3 children David, Daniel and Susan.Daniel came through Boston, MASS and married Elizabeth Lee, their cildren were Daniel, Samuel and THomas.Young Daniel moved farther south into Marion County, SC, fought in the Revolutionary war and received land.He married Elizabeth James.Captain Daniel came to GA in Rome where he met up with four families that were coming to East Point which were the Suttles, Lee's and Fergusons.Daniel supposedly married Flora Ferguson.
I have not been able to confirm most of this information.I do know that Flora Ferguson is my ggg grandmother and she is buried in the Stone/Ferguson cemetery in what is now SW Atlanta, GA on the land purchased by Joseph Stone in 1824 and he mentions his wife, Flora, in his will dated 1847.I don't know if Flora was first married to a Daniel Stone but her children were named Neil, Daniel and Joseph.There was also a Daniel Stone in Marion, SC who disappeared and was confirmed dead as Captain Daniel Stone will recorded 1831 wife Elizabeth (James?), infant daughter Martha; died abt 1823.Flora's son Daniel married a Cynthia Schumate from Marion, SC before 1820.
In the same cemetery where Flora and Joseph Stone are buried, is buried John D. Lee who died in 1830.He is possibly the John Lee who is on the 1804 tax lists in Cumberland Co, NC with Joseph Stone.I think the Stones, Lees and Fergusons were traveling together from Cumberland/Bladen Co, NC and were from the Marion, SC area.
Joseph and Flora's grandson John Randolph Stone married into the Thames family from Cumberland Co, NC who had married into the Lee's family.
