PREFACE.
TN 1890 my uncle, S. D. Lewis of Warsaw, N. Y.,
I prepared and published a genealogy of my mother's
family, entitled "Book XVIII Lewis Family Geneal
ogy." From reading that book, I discovered that I
knew very little about my own family ancestry, and as
my mother was alive at that time, I commenced mak
ing inquiries of her and my aunt, Lois (Stone) Tilton,
they being the oldest persons then alive in our family.
I found that they knew very little in regard to the
family history. I determined then that I would give
the matter what study I could (which has been at odd
times and evenings, as I am a busy man with very lit
tle time that I can call my own). However, the study
instead of being an irksome task, has proven to be a
pleasant pastime. And while I had no idea at first of
publishing the work in book form, from being urged
by friends and relatives of the family who offered to
contribute towards the expense, I have done so.
In preparing this genealogy for the family (as it is
of very little interest to any one not a member of the
family), I have entered upon the task with a sincere
desire to avoid doing injustice to any one, whether a
member of the family or otherwise.
There must be many errors in a work of this kind,
but when I have received dates of births, deaths, etc.,
of the same family by different persons, and they have
disagreed, I have written some member of the family
to correct them. So if you find errors, do not charge

Vill PREFACE.
them all to me or the publisher, as I have had to rely
entirely on the written data sent me by you.
There are many members of the family who are
not alluded to any further than to give date of birth,
marriage and death, and who I am confident deserve
special mention.
I would have more hope of satisfying the family,
if I could have allowed myself more time. I have used
my best efforts, with the aid of numerous persons to
verify from the records every statement of fact given.
The matter for the biographies has been furnished
me by members of the family, which in some instances
have taken considerable travel and work to procure ;
in writing the biographical sketches, there has been
no effort made at coloring, but to give a brief sketch
that would enable the reader to form a correct idea of
the individual ; neither has there been any effort made
to connect the family by side-lines or otherwise to
families that are eminently wealthy or have gained
high positions in any of the walks of life ; but to give
a simple statement of facts, such as dates of birth,
marriage and death, with a short biography of each
head of the family.
In a great many instances our family can be con
nected with the families of noted men, such as : Adams,
Webster, Thomas Hooker, Grant, Arthur and a host
of others. So, also, can any New England family of
the Puritan stock connect itself by side lines to these
families, or any other families that came to New Eng
land in an early day.
A life of peace and prosperity furnishes but little
matter for a chronicle. Such, with few exceptions,
have been the lives of our family.
This work has been prepared solely for the Stone
family and its descendants ; and if a stranger or per-

PREFACE. IX
son not a member of the family, should chance to
peruse its pages, we trust you will not criticise it
although you may be amused at the simplicity of the
lives of some of its members. Remember that you are
reading a family record that is sacred to some one.
In preparing this work for publication, I have re
ceived valuable assistance from a great many mem
bers of the family who have furnished me the data
from which the genealogy has been prepared ; to all
of whom I here return my thanks.
My thanks are also due to many gentlemen who
have facilitated the collection of material, for the
biographies; and especially to Col. Wm. L. Stone of
Mt. Vernon, N. Y., who has kindly and freely given
me the use of his "Genealogy of The Stone Family,"
from which the second and third chapter of this work
are almost entirely taken. I would also state that
this book is the same size of type and page (printed
matter) as Col. Stone's Genealogy. I have therefore
entitled this volume "Book II of The Family of John
Stone, one of the first settlers of Guilford, Conn."
The historical events briefly related in Chapter I,
are so closely identified with the early history of our
family, that I deemed it essential to concisely relate
an account of the most important occurrences of this
region. I gladly refer the interested reader to ' ' Smith's
History of Guilford' ' for a more extended account, as
it is to this work I am indebted for most of the data
for the first chapter. I am also indebted to Wm. Leete
Stone, Judge Post, Wm. G. Andrews, D. D., of Guil
ford, Conn., and others for valuable information to
whom I desire to express my thanks.
Finally, I would call attention to the fact that this
book contains the names of all the descendants of Rus
sell, Bille, Timothy and Eber down to 1896.

P. S. Since writing the above, the genealogy has met
with hard luck ; after most of the book was published
and in readiness for the binder, fire broke out in the
building in which the work was being done, and
destroyed not only the printed matter but most of MS.
However, with what was saved from the fire, together
with proof sheets and memoranda that I had at my
command, I have been enabled to reproduce the book
in some respects in better form than the first copy.
The fates seem to have been against the little book
since it got into the printers' hands, as the delays
have been many and of long duration. T. L. S.

Chapter I.
Guilford is a village of about three thousand
inhabitants, located on Long Island Sound, about
twenty miles east of New Haven, in the State of
Connecticut. It was settled in 1639 by a company of Puritans
from Surrey, and Kent County, England, under the
leadership of the Rev. Henry Whitfield. The original
town included the present towns of Madison and
Guilford, stretched along the shore of Long Island
Sound, from Branford to Killingworth, a distance on
a straight line of nine or ten miles, and extending
back from the Sound about the same distance; the
whole original town, like others in the vicinity and
country, was originally inhabited by Indians, who
called it, or at least the western part of it, Menunka-
tuck ; they were numerous on the great plain south of
Guilford borough, as appears from the vast amount of
shells brought upon it, and which are mouldering
there to this day.
The part of the township, which embraces nearly

all of the present town of Guilford, was purchased of
the sachem-squaw of Menunkatuck, Shaumpishuh
[the Indian inhabitants consenting] September 29,
1639, by Henry Whitfield, Robert Kitchell, William
Leete (afterwards Governor Leete) William Chitten
den, John Bishop and John Caffinge, in behalf of
themselves and others who had come out to New
Haven the same year and who were now resolved to
make a settlement at this place. At the time of the
purchase it was understood and agreed that the deed
should remain in the hands of the planters until a
church should be organized in the town, to whom it
should be given, and under whose superintendence
the lands should be divided out, to those who were
interested in them. The articles given for this tract
w ere twelve coats, twelve fathoms of wampum, twelve
glasses, twelve pairs of shoes, twelve hatchets, twelve
pairs of stockings, twelve hoes, four kettles, twelve
knives, twelve hats, twelve porringers, twelve spoons,
and two English coats.
The English settlement commenced immediately
after this purchase, on the grounds now included in
Guilford borough, the plain, and some lands near the
Sound, having been cleared by the Indians, and
prepared for cultivation.
Mr. Whitfield was desirous of extending the plan
tation (as they called it) and it was through him that
other purchases of land were made from the Indians,
a part of which was purchased from Uncas, who
probably claimed the land in virtue of the conquest of
the Pequoids, in which he assisted.
The first settlers of this town came from Surrey
and Kent, near London, England, and were mostly
farmers. They had not a merchant among them and
scarcely a mechanic, so it was at great trouble and

expense that they procured a blacksmith on their
plantation. They called the town Guilford in lemembrance of
Guilford, a borough town, the capital of Surrey,
where many of them had lived.
About forty planters came into the town in 1039.
There were forty-eight in 1650, which undoubtedly
included the original forty.
The Rev. Henry Whitfield, William Leete, John
Stone, John's brother, William, and at least twenty-
one others, some with families, others with none ; set
sail from London, England, on May 20th, 1639, for the
New World. They styled themselves the Guilford
Company, and on the first day of June, 1639, while on
shipboard, the little band signed a plantation cove
nant in which they expressed a purpose to settle near
Quinnipiack (New Haven). The covenant signed
reads as follows : COVENANT.
We, whose names are hereunder written, intend
ing by God's gracious permission to plant ourselves
in New England, and, if it may be, in the southerly
part, about Quinnipiack: We do faithfully promise
each to each for ourselves and families and those
that belong to us; that we will, the Lord assisting us,
sit down and join ourselves together in one intire
plantation; and to be helpful each to the other in
every common work, according to every man's ability
and as need shall require; and we promise not to
desert or leave each other or the plantation, but with
the consent of the rest, or the greater part of the
company who have entered into this engagement.
As for our gathering together in a church way, and
the choice of officers and members to be joined

together in that way, we do refer ourselves until such
time as it shall please God to settle us in our plantation.
In witness whereof we subscribe our hands, the
first day of June, 1639.

Between the 10th and 15th of July, 1639, they
entered New Haven harbor, their ships (for they had
two), being the first vessels that had entered it. After
landing at New Haven measures were immediately
taken to find a suitable location for the Company, and
after careful examination they soon decided upon
"Menunkatuck," to which they subsequently gave the
name of Guilford, and before winter, had built their
houses and moved into them, among which was the
noted stone house of Henry Whitfield, which is said
to be the oldest house in Connecticut. It was built in
1639. "Palfrey's History of New England" says, "it
was erected both for the accommodation of his family,
and as a fortification, for the protection of the inhab
itants against the Indians. " This house was kept in
this original form until 1868 when it underwent such

renovation as changed its appearance and internal
arrangements to a great extent, although the north
wall and large stone chimney are substantially the
same as they have been for over two-hundred-fifty
years. The walls are of stone from a ledge eighty
rods distant to the east, and were probably brought
on hand-barrows across a swamp, over a rude cause
way which is still to be traced ; a small addition has
been made to the back of the house in modern times,
but there is no question that the main building
remains in its original state, even to the oak of the
beams, floors, doors, and window frames. The height
of the first story is seven feet, and eight inches, the
second story, six feet nine inches. The house occu
pies a rising ground overlooking the great plain south
of the village, and commanding a very fine prospect
of the Sound. It is said the first marriage was cele
brated in it — the wedding table being garnished with
the substantial luxuries of pork and peas. This house,
and the farm in connection with it is now owned by
Mrs. S. B. Cone of Stockbridge.
On the opposite side of the street (Whitfield
Street) and nearer the village green, was the allotment
of John Stone. How long he owned this place is
uncertain but Rev. Joseph Eliot purchased the place
in 1664, and his descendants own the place to this
day, except a lot that was sold off and was the home
of the late Dr. Talcott. The places where most of the
original settlers located themselves are now known.
The road through Guilford was, before railroads,
much used by travelers from New York and Boston.
The N. Y. N. H. & H. Shore line now runs trains
through this place to New York and Boston almost
every hour. The first society was famous for raising
corn, it was said as much as a hundred bushels of ears

had been raised on an acre, but that forty bushels was
a fair yield.
Menunkatuck or West River, which runs by the
place of Caleb Stone (now owned by his descendant
William Leete Stone) rises in Quonepaug pond, in
North Guilford, and empties into Guilford harbor.
Thomas Chittenden, the first Governor of Ver
mont, was a native of this town. Fitz-Green Halleck,
the poet, was born in Guilford, he was the first Ameri
can poet to whom was awarded the honor of a bronze
statue in a public place. It occupies a prominent
position in Central Park, New York.
George Hill, the poet, was born in Guilford.
"Meanwhile a younger race, a different age,
Has risen up to occupy the stage,
Yet oft I think of Guilford, with delight,
And feel full halfway there, while this I write." —Halleck.
The people of Guilford in September, 1889, held
a celebration commemorating the establishment in
1639 of the plantation of Menunkatuck (now repre
sented by the towns of Guilford and Madison), it being
the two-hundreth-fiftieth anniversary. The exercises
Sunday, September 8th, consisted of sermons preached
in the churches of Guilford and Madison (once East
Guilford). At 2:30 p. m., Rev. O L. Kitchell of New
Haven, Conn., "who is a descendant of Robert Kit
chell, 1639," preached a historical sermon in the First
Congregational Church at Guilford from which the
following is an extract:

MEMORANDA.

FROM A HISTORICAL SERMON.
—by-
Rev. Cornelius L. Kitchell of New Haven.
By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out into a
place which he was to receive for an inheritance: and he went out
not knowing whither he went. — Hebrews xi: 8.
Just how ihe call came to Abraham we do not
know. But while he was living in Ur of the Chaldees,
God, in some way, spake to him, and said: "Get thee
out from thy country and from thy kindred and from
thy father's house unto a land that I will show thee."
To this divine mandate Abraham was not disobe
dient. The home of his childhood, the home of his
fathers was dear to him, but there he could not worship
as he would the one holy and living God. Far to the
west, across the deserts, was a land where, unmo
lested, he and his children could follow the dictates of
their finer spiritual instinct. The thought of that
country whispered to his soul in divine accents. It
would not let him rest. God called him. A divine
promise, large and sure, beckoned him. And so, with
a chosen company, he set out not knowing whither he
went, knowing only that the God who called him
would lead him and give him an inheritance in the
land of promise.
Since Abraham's day many children of his, in
spirit, have heard a like call and have left their homes
with a like faith, but, of them all, none were truer
descendants of the Father of the Faithful than the

little company whose history we are to trace today.
Two hundred and fifty years ago our ancestors who
settled this town were living, most of them, in Surrey
and Kent, those southern counties which are called,
for their richness and beauty, the garden of England.
It was a time of ease and of peace in temporal things.
They were comfortably provided with this world's
goods for their station, surrounded with relatives and
friends, proud and fond of England, their native land;
but a tyrannical king and a bigoted prelate forced
upon them the superstitious observances, as it seemed
to them, of that Roman church from which they had
hoped they were free. They could not conscientiously
conform thereto. If they did not, fines, persecutions,
imprisonments, exiles, were inflicted upon them.
They heard of a New England across the sea, where
others who sympathized with them had fled and found ,
as yet, freedom to worship God. Just as surely as
Canaan was a land of promise to Abraham, New Eng
land was to our forefathers. God said to them just as
clearly as he did to the ancient patriarch: "Get thee
out from your country and from your kindred and
from your father's house." By faith, obeying that
call, they went out, a little company, bidding good
bye to friends and native land, in frail and diminutive
vessels, across the perilous sea, into the uncultivated
wilderness, destitute of habitation, haunted by sav
ages, out beyond the older settlements, that without
peradventure they might be beyond the reach of the
tyrant's arm, and there in the wisdom of the Scrip
tures and of common sense, in the fear of God, they
laid unique foundations of a free Commonwealth and
a free Church, from which, and others like them, as
the centuries rolled on has developed the great nation
in which we dwell. The land to which they were

called they did afterward inherit. The text thus sug
gests the two-fold aspect, namely, the Going out in
Faith and the Inheriting the Land, under which we
may include the origin and the development of the
Church of Christ here.
FIRST: GOING OUT IN FAITH.
Sometime in September, 1639 (0. S.), certain plan
ters of this colony, seeking a habitation, came to
Menunkatuck, as the region was called. Pleased with
what they found, on the 29th of September, articles of
agreement were signed by six of them representing
the whole colony, and the sachem-squaw who claimed
ownership. In consideration of sundry coats, fathoms
of wampum, glasses, shoes, hatchets, etc., "the said
sachem-squaw did sell to the aforesaid English plant
ers all the land within the limits of Ruttawoo (East
River) and Agicomick river (Stony Creek)," the
present limits of Guilford. Immediately after this
purchase, before winter probably, the whole company
came over from New Haven where they had disem
barked the June preceding, and took possession of
lands near the Sound, "especiallv the great plain south
of the town," which the historian tells us had been
"already cleared and enriched by the natives." While
the little community is getting itself into shape, let
us ask who they are and how they have been led here.
First of all, we need to note that they are but a
little band of a vast company. It has been computed
that between the years 1630 and 1640 more than 20,000
persons arrived in New England from the mother
country. It was the time of Charles the first and his
Archbishop Laud, the time of the Star Chamber and
High Commissions. Many of the most active and

most Godly ministers of the Church of England with
their congregations, though they loved their "dear
mother Church," as they did not cease to call her,
could not conform to the superstitious ceremonies
arbitrarily prescribed, and as non-conformists, fled to
New England.
One such minister was Henry AVhitfield, of Ockley
in Surrey, who became the leader and pastor of the
company which settled in Guilford. Cotton Mather,
in his Magnalia, tells of him that he was educated to
be a lawyer, "first at the University and then at the
Inns of Court. But the gracious and early operation
of the Holy Spirit on his heart inclined him rather to
be a preacher of the Gospel." For twenty years he
was a conformist, but as the result of an interview
with Rev. John Cotton (afterward pastor at Boston)
and Rev. John Davenport (afterward pastor at New
Haven) both of whom for their non-conformity were
later compelled to fly, first to Holland and thence to
New England, "Whitfield embraced a modest seces
sion," as Cotton Mather phrases it. Summoned once
and again before the archbishop's court, and becoming
liable to censure, no longer able "to proceed in the
public exercise of his ministry," he resigned his rich
living, sold his personal estate and became the leader
of these Surrev and Kent farmers. They knew his
piety and his ability from missionary work he had
done among them, and "felt they could not do without
his ministry." Like him, too, they considered affairs
at home were hopeless, and duty called them to lay
new foundations for Christ's kingdom beyond the sea.
Two other men of this little colony we need to
note. One of them, William Leete, was afterward
magistrate here in Guilford, then Governor of New
Haven Colony, later deputy Governor of the United

MEMORANDA.

GENEALOGY OF THE STONE FAMILY. 21
Colony of Connecticut, and later still for several years
Governor of Connecticut, by annual election till he
died. The decided and excellent quality of this man
appeared early. He is the only member of this little
colony except Mr. Whitfield whose experience in Eng-
land,Cotton Mather tells us of.
The other notable person was Samuel Desborough,
whose brother married the sister of Oliver Cromwell,
and who in later years under the Lord Protector was
Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland, training for
which high office he had in being one of the seven
pillars of the church and magistrate here in Guilford,
before yet he returned to England.
Around these men as leaders gathered the sturdy
farmers of Kent and Surrey, young men, most of
them, we are told, forty planters in all, and embark
ing from London in May, 1639, in two vessels proba
bly, began their long voyage of forty-nine days across
the Atlantic. Now in regard to this company, note that while
they were not organized as a church, yet they were
distinctively a religious community, whose leader
was their pastor and whose "Design was Religion."
Their main object was not adventure, nor trade, nor
the improvement of their personal estates. They
were indeed of that great race in whose blood has
ever been a readiness to brave danger, and I do not
deny that they were sagacious and thrifty men bound
to do as best they could for their families and estates,
but first of all they did seek the Kingdom of God and
His righteousness. Listen to what they declare four
years later when they were about to form their civil
government: "The mayne ends which were pro
pounded to ourselves in our coming hither and settling
down together are, that we may settle and uphold the

MEMORANDA.

GENEALOGY OF THE STONE FAMILY. 23
ordinances of God in an explicit Congrega
tional Church way with most purity, peace liberty
for the benefit both of ourselves and posterity
after us."
They landed at New Haven probably toward the
end of June. Sometime before the 29th of September,
they held their first meeting of which we have any
record, in Mr. Newman's barn in New Haven, and
agreed that the lands called Menunkatuck should be
purchased for them and their heirs, "the deed-writ
ings there about to be made and drawn in the name of
these six planters in our steads, viz. : Henry AVhitfield,
Robert Kitchell, William Leete, William Chittenden,
John Bishop, and John Caffmge."
These six planters as directed, purchased the land,
and the little colony of about two hundred souls we
may suppose, as has been before narrated, came over
from New Haven before winter and tbe history of this
community began.
And now for nearly four years, until June 19th,
1643, when the church was first formally instituted,
but little is recorded. That they nourished a vigorous
religious and devotional life in all this period of patient
waiting, as we should otherwise suppose is indicated
also by the fact that midway in it, in 1614, the Rev.
John Higginson was called as "teacher" to assist Mr.
Whitfield, the pastor, in his work. Why they did not
organize a church at once, we can only conjecture.
Most likely they felt less need of such organization,
because they were, as it were, a church already. Not
only was Mr. Whitfield, their leader, a regular clergy
man whose ordination they accepted and never had
repeated (as was done in the case of Mr. Davenport at
New Haven and others), but many of them had
enjoyed his ministrations in their former homes, and

MEMORANDA.

GENEALOGY OF THE STONE FAMILY. 25
one of them, Mr. Thomas Norton, had been warden
of Mr. Whitfield's church at Ockley.
That they kept the formation of a church steadily
in view is evident from this record of an agreement
made at a meeting of the planters held February 2d,
1642, at a time when the need of some more explicit
kind of civil government appears first to have found
expression: "It is agreed that the civil power of
administration of justice and preservation of peace
shall remain in the hands of Robert Kitchel, William
Chittenden, John Bishop and William Leete, formerly
chosen for that work, until some may be chosen out of
the church that shall be gathered here."
How long this inderminate condition of Church
and State would have continued, had not some impulse
come from without, it would be difficult to say. Such
an impulse, however, did come in the spring of 1643,
at which time it became necessary, owing to the
breach then existing between King and Parliament,
for the colony here to combine with New Haven and
the other New England colonies for the sake of secur
ity. But in order to do this, it was necessary that
Guilford should adopt some definite civil constitution
and form of government, and as in their idea, the
civil government was to be the creature of the church,
the church itself must be first definitely organized that
it might, in turn, call the civil body into existence.
Accordingly on June 19th, 1643, the first step was
taken by choosing seven men to be the "seven pillars."
These seven pillars were the pastor, Henry Whit
field, his assistant and son-in-law John Higginson,
Samuel Desborough, William Leete, Jacob Sheaffe,
John Mipham and John Hoadley. This was in accord
ance with the method pursued in New Haven four
years before, at the suggestion of Rev. John Daven-

MEMORANDA.

GENEALOGY OF THE STONE FAMILY. 27
port, the pastor there, who derived this method of
ecclesiastical organization from the text: "Wisdom
hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven
pillars." This may seem to us rather heroic hom-
iletis, but practically at that time it met the
case. These Christians in the wilderness had
cut loose from the ancient foundations. They were
feeling for the simplicity of the early Church which
gathered about Christ as the only foundation, and
practically they attained it. Yet, members as they
were of the ancient Church of England, it must have
satisfied their imagination and filled a void in their
hearts, to have something to join. These seven godly,
Christian men, choicest of the whole band — these
seven pillars in some unconscious way and with a sort
of Scriptural sanction stood to them, we cannot doubt,
in place of the goodly battlements of that great his
toric Church from which they never separated, but
from which they were now cutting loose.
These seven elect men first drew up a "Doctrine
of Faith," the same used in the First Church, till in
1837 it was somewhat amended. To this they for
mally assented and then entered into covenant with
God and each other. Thus was laid the foundation.
Then the other members joined themselves to these
seven pillars by making the same profession and
covenant and the church was fully gathered and
established. Of the newly organized church Mr. Whitfield
continued to be pastor just as he had been of the
colony from the beginning. It would seem that he
was never formally chosen pastor by the church nor
installed, probably because for several years he had
actually been their pastor and in the work and was a
regularly ordained clergyman.

MEMORANDA.

Rev. John Higginson was also continued as
"teacher." He preached one-half day every Sabbath
and had charge of the public school. The office of
ruling elder, which existed in New Haven and other
New England churches was not adopted here. Neither
were deacons chosen either in Mr. Whitfield's or Mr.
Higginson's ministry, that is, for nearly a quarter of
a century. Three men were chosen annually who
collected the minister's maintenance, and managed
the temporalities of the church like vestrymen in the
Church of England. To the church thus constituted
the four planters who had been entrusted with the
control of affairs until a church should be gathered,
resigned their trust and by the church thus organized
the civil polity of the plantation was thereupon
established. In that civil polity the feature which now seems
most peculiar, and for which the church is justly held
responsible, is the provision that only church mem
bers should be voting citzens. This is fully exjiressed
in the constitution which the church drafted for the
civil government now to be set up by it. It reads :
"We do now therefore all and every of us agree, order
and conclude that only such planters as are also mem
bers of the church here shall be and be called freemen
and that such freemen only shall have power to elect
magistrates, deputies and other officers of public
interest, or autnoriy in matters of importance, con
cerning either the civil affairs or government here,
from amongst themselves and not elsewhere. " In a
word, only church members could vote or be voted for.
What our fathers thus did was with entire unani
mity, in accordance with the high purpose that actu
ated them, to erect a miniature republic in which the
good should rule. They thought they had found who

the good were, namely, those who by a regenerating
faith had become members of the true Church of
Christ. So they established a popular government
with a "piety qualification" — not property nor learn
ing but personal character should be the test of
citizenship. That such were the motives that induced our
fathers to thus limit citizenship appears very clearly
in a treatise written at that time, probably by Rev.
John Davenport (though ascribed on its title page to
John Cotton), entitled "A Discourse about Civil Gov
ernment in a New Plantation whose Design is Reli
gion." In this note the Sixth Argument, (which
doubtless underlay all the rest) namely : "The danger
of devolving this (civil) power upon those not in
church order." When Mr. Davenport came to the
Massachusetts colony on his way to New Haven, he
found that they in Massachusetts had seven years
before (May 18th, 1631) limited citizenship in the same
way. They had done so in part because they were
afraid that otherwise emissaries of the King, or of
Laud, might gain entrance into their councils. The
same danger existed here and they sought to escape it
in the same way.

CHAPTER II.
REV. SAMUEL STONE.
" 'And who were they, our fathers?' In their veins
Ran the best blood of England's gentlemen ;
Her bravest in the strife on battle plains,
Her wisest in the strife of voice and pen ;
Her holiest, teaching, in her holiest fanes.
The lore that led to martyrdom ; and when
On this side ocean slept their wearied sails,
And their toil-bells woke up our thousand hills and dales,
' Shamed they their fathers?' Ask the village spires
Above their Sabbath homes of praise and prayer :
Ask of their children's happy household fires,
And happier harvest noons ; ask summer's air,
Made merry by young voices, when the wires
Of their school cages are unloosed." — Ifallcek's Connecticut.
(1)
I. REV. SAMUEL STONE, a non-conformist
divine of Hereford, Hereforshire, on the Wye south
of London, in Surrey County, England, was undoubt
edly our English ancestor. Although there is a differ
ence in opinion on that subject, Col. William L. Stone
of Mt. Vernon, N. Y., who has written a book entitled
"The Family of John Stone," seems to have no doubt
but that the Rev. Samuel Stcne was our English
ancestor. He says in the iutroductory of his work :
"Various have been the traditions concerning the
origin of the Stone family in America. The most
commonly accepted one has been that six brothers
came over in a vessel of their own to Watertown,
Mass. ; that their names respectively were : Deacon
Simon, (others say Rev. Simon) Stone, William Stone,
John Stone, Deacon Gregory Stone, Isaac Stone, and
(33)

MEMORANDA.

GENEALOGY OF THE STONE FAMILY. 35
Rev. Samuel Stone. That the first three settled at
Watertown (some say little Cambridge and Dor
chester), William and John at Guilford, Conn., and
Rev. Samuel at Hartford, Conn." This tradition
further states that they were all the sons of Rev.
Samuel Stone, a non-conformist divine of Hereford
shire, England, and educated at Emanuel College,
Cambridge, and a lecturer in Torcester, Northamp
tonshire {From Cotton Mathers Magnolia, Vol. 1, P
392-5, Hartford, 1820.) On the other hand and in
direct conflict with above "A History of the first
church in Hartford, Conn., states that Rev. Samuel
Stone was a son of John Stone, a freeholder of Her-
ford, England. This is based on investigations made
in England, on the records of Hertford, and so far as
the ancestry of Rev. Samuel (who founded Hartford,
Conn.) is concerned, this statement is undoubtedly
the correct one; (in regard to the history of Rev.
Samuel Stone, who was the founder of Hartford, more
can be found in a work printed by George Leon
Walker in 1884; in the course of his story of the old
first church of Hartford, he has a good deal to say of
Rev. Samuel Stone). The register of the "Church of
All Saints," Hertford (not Hereford,) Eng., has the
following entries of the baptisms of Rev. Samuel Stone
of Hartford (not Rev. Samuel of England) and his
brothers and sisters :
Jeremyas, son of John Stone, baptized February
18, 1599. Samuel, son of John Stone, baptized July 30, 1602.
Jerome, son of John Stone, baptized September
29, 1604. John, son of John Stone, baptized July 6, 1607.
Mary, daughter of John Stone, baptized January
13, 1609.

MEMORANDA.

GENEALOGY OF THE STONE FAMILY. 37
Ezechiel, son of John Stone, baptized November
1, 1612. Lidda, daughter of John Stone, baptized April
17, 1616. Elizabeth, daughter of John Stone, baptized
October 21, 1621.
Sara, daughter of John Stone, baptized April
3, 1625. Ezechiel, son of John Stone, baptized April 27, 1 629.
Jeremy, buried January 19, 1601.
John, buried October 8, 1609.
Ezechiel, buried April 27, 1629.
Lidda, buried August 10, 1635.
This record seems to explode the tradition of the
"Six Brothers" for Rev. Samuel, "of Hartford," was
the son of John, not of Samuel, and Simon, and Greg
ory could hardly have been his brothers, even sup
posing that their baptisms do not appear on the Hert
ford register was from neglect to record them or from
some other cause, since it is known (from their ages)
that Simon was born in 1585, and Gregory in 1590. It
is therefore extremely unlikely that they were the
brothers of Samuel, whose father continued to have
children as late as 1629.
It has also been stated that Simon Stone "came
over from Ipswich in the ship Increase April 15th,
1635." Of John Stone, Col. William L. Stone says
that he has come across no less than ten of that name
who were early settlers in New England. A Stone
Genealogy of the Rhode Island branch, says that a
John Stone, aged forty, came to Salem, Mass., in
April, 1635, from Hawkhurst, England, in the ship
Elizabeth, where he remained for some years plying a
ferry between that village and Beverly, finally moving
to Guilford, Conn.

A Hugh Stone, also, settled in Cranston, R. I.,
and was the founder of the Stones in that State.
It would appear from the foregoing that it is use
less to try to trace the Stone, family in America, from
a single source. There were doubtless many of that
name who were among the earliest emigrants to the
colonies, and who, in all probability, were in nowise
related to each other. Fortunately, however, for us,
no such obscurity envelops our New England ancestor,
and while it might have been pleasant to believe that
we were directly descended from Rev. Samuel Stone,
the founder of Hartford, and the faithful companion
and friend of the devoted Hooker, yet the contrary
finds more than its compensation in the certainty with
which patient investigation has answered the ques
tion, who was our American Ancestor? Who the par
ents were of Rev. Samuel Stone, "our English Ances
tor," cannot be ascertained from the fact that he was
a non-conformist divine, consequently no records of
his marriage and ancestors exist in Parish records.
Had he been of the Church of England no such diffi
culty would have existed.

Children of the Rev. Samuel Stone of Hereford, England.
(2)
I. JOHN STONE, the founder of our house in
America, was the son of Rev. Samuel Stone, a non
conformist divine, of Hereford, on the Wye of Here
fordshire, England. He was born in Herefordshire
near Guilford (probably at Okley) the borough town
of Surrey County, about 1610, and came to New Eng
land in the summer of 1639 iu company of William
Leete (afterward Governor Leete) and Rev. Henry
Whitfield, settling in what is now called Guilford,
Connecticut. John and his brother William came in
Whitfield's first Guilford company, having set sail
from England, May 20, 1639, in two ships. When
their ships had been about ten days out these brothers,
with William Leete and others, of their companions,
entered into a written agreement, or as it was called,
a "Plantation Covenant." (See page 5.) Between
the 10th and 15th of July their ships dropped anchor
in the harbor at New Haven, the first vessels that had
ever entered it. John was a farmer, also by trade a
clothier, and a mason. It being no uncommon thing
in those days for a man to have two, or even more
trades. He was for many years town constable, an
office which was far more respectable than that of
sheriff is now. He seems to have been a man well

thought of among his fellows, since his family not
only intermarried with that of Governor Leete, but
he was often employed by the Selectmen of the town,
as Referee, in various cases in which high character
and strict probity were required. John's first allot
ment of land was on what is now Whitfield Street,
opposite Henry Whitfield's first place, and near the
village green. How long he owned this place is not
known, but Rev. Joseph Eliott purchased the place in
] 664 and his descendants own the place to this day.
One that is competent to know says that John Stone's
place was afterward at the corner of York and Fair
streets, the present site of the Institute, or high school.
John's brother William* was the ancestor of (Lois
Stone* 30) who married (Russell Stone* 30). William
was a farmer and kept an inn at North Guilford. He
came to Guilford with his wife Hannah with the fisrt
company. He married for a second wife in 1659, Mary
Hughes, and died November, 1683.
John Stone married in 1642, Mary  , and died
at Guilford February, 1687.

This house and property is certainly the old homestead
of our line of the Stone family.* This place in some
respects is the most historical place in Guilford. It
was here that William Leete settled in 1639. He was
Royal Governor of Connecticut 1661-5 and 1676, until
his death at Hartford, April 16, 1683, where he was
buried in the old Center Churchyard. It was here
that the first white child was born in Guilford, viz. :
John Leete, born 1639.
"Styles History of the Judges'1'' says the Governor's
house was situated on the east bank of West River.
He had a store on the bank a few rods from his house,
and under it a cellar, (the walls of which remain to
this day, and which the writer visited and viewed with
interest May 28, 1894). It is still in the general and
concurrent tradition at Guilford, that the Judges Goffe
and Whalley were concealed and lodged in this cellar
several nights, most say three nights and three days,
being constantly supplied with food from the Gover
nor's table. Col. Wm. L. Stone has written an enter
taining story called "Mercy Disborough a Tale of the
Witches," founded on the fact of Governor Leete's
hiding the regicides Goffe and Whalley.
The time of this concealment must have been
between June 11 and 20, 1660; here and at Rossiters,
they spent above a week. This cellar still remains in
good condition and the wall will stand for future gen
erations to inspect. It is now used for the storage of
empty barrels. (14)

24, 1886. He was a son of John Tilton. With the
exception of about five years, Mr. Tilton spent his
entire life in Orangeville, following farming and
dairying, and also owned and operated a cheese fac
tory for a few years. He located soon after marriage
on lot No. 52. He held the office of assessor for nine
years in succession and was supervisor of his town in
1870-71. Lois now resides on the farm with her eldest
son, James.
The following notice of the death of Mr. Tilton
was published in the Western New Yorker:
TILTON— The sudden death of Obadiah Tilton
occurred October 24, and was simply announced in
our last issue. Mr. Tilton was born in Orangeville,
January 27, 1817. June 2, 1841, he married Lois
Stone, eldest daughter of Reuben Stone, late of
Orangeville. Soon after their marriage they removed
to Indiana, where they resided five years. Except for
this interval Mr. Tilton's entire life was spent in
Orangeville, and since his settlement here, on one
section of land. A well cultivated farm and com
modious and valuable farm buildings attest his thor

wealth, his persevering industry, unquestioned integ-

rity and genuine good sense, early gained him a com
petency. Mr. Tilton held many places of trust and
responsibility. As a public officer he served with
credit and ability, securing the entire approval of
those he represented. Ever at the front in temper
ance work, faithfully trying to raise the unfortunate
and fallen, he was ever ready to aid with money, time
and influence, this great work. Though nearly sev
enty years old, his untiring energy made him appear
much younger. His life was characterized by indus
try and integrity. He was a regular attendant of
religious services and contributed liberally to all ben
evolent purposes. An esteemed citizen, a loyal friend,
a kind husband and father, and a worthy man has
been taken from among us. (76)
II. HARVEY was born February 14, 1818, and
died January 7, 1887, in Orangeville, N. Y., where he
had alwavs lived. He married, February 20, 1840,
Eliza Lewis, who was born in Orangeville, N. Y.,
February 20, 1820. She was a daughter of the Hon.
Truman Lewis, who was born at New Hartford,
Conn., November 5, 1784. He left his father's house
at Vernon, N. Y., in the spring of 1807, and made his
way on foot, much of the way being through a wilder
ness, to Orangeville, Wyoming County, N. Y., where
he bought some land in what was then an almost un
broken forest. This farm he owned when he died.
Here he and his wife literally hewed out for them
selves and their children a home. He was a member
of the Presbyterian Church. In the War of 1812 he
was in active service, holding the commission of
ensign from Governor Daniel D. Tompkins. He was
frequently elected to important town offices. He rep
resented Genesee County in the Legislature in 1834-35,
and was the first treasurer of Wyoming County.

For something like fifteen years he was the agent
for Wyoming County of the Farmers' Loan and Trust
Company of New York, and for the town of Orange
ville of the Trustees under the will of James Loyd
deceased, of Boston, Mass. These parties were the
successors of the Old Holland Land Company, and at
the time they held a very large number of mortgages
and owned a great number of farms' in that part of
Wyoming County, included in the Holland Land Com
pany's purchase. This business entrusted to him was
therefore one of great magnitude. He so discharged
his duties, however, as to both merit, and receive
the most gratifying commendation of the companies
he represented, and the thanks and confidence of all
persons occupying these lands, and liable to pay these
mortgages, who everywhere expressed their gratitude
for his kindness and forebearance, their perfect faith
in his integrity and justice.
After closing up his business he moved to War
saw, N. Y., and spent the last seven years of his life
with his son, Simeon D. Lewis, at whose home he
died, September 15, 1865. He was a man of great
executive ability, of eminent good judgment, and of
the strictest integrity. He was also a genial, com
panionable man, possessing an inexhaustible fund of
anecdotes, with which he often entertained his friends.
He married, October 3, 1811, Lucy Porter, who was
born March 6, 1795. She was the daughter of Seth
Porter and Sarah (Cowles) Porter and a granddaugh

Simeon D. Lewis of Warsaw., Y., wrote the following
obituary :
Mrs. Eliza Lewis Stone was the daughter of Hon.
Truman Lewis, one of the pioneers of Wyoming
county. She was born February 20th, 1820, in the
town of Orangeville, where she always lived.
At the time of her birth the struggles of her par
ents for a comfortable home were by no means ended.
When we remember also that she was five years old
when De Witt Clinton made his memorable journey
from Albany to Buffalo on the Erie canal ; that she
was ten years old when the first short railroad was
built in this country, and that she was twenty-five
years old when Morse first exhibited to the world the
wonders of the telegraph ; we can easily understand
that in her younger days her environment was unfav
orable to a liberal education, and that in this respect
she was limited to the curriculum of the district
school. She was, however, a great reader, and was
therefore, to the last a woman of unusual intelligence
— keeping constantly abreast of the times in current
literature, and the general news of the day.
On her 20th birthday she was united in marriage
to Harvey Stone, and bravely began with him a strug
gle for a home and a competence, in which effort they
were reasonably successful.
She had three children — Mrs. George L. Parker, of
Buffalo; Morris L. Stone, of Wamego, Kansas, and
Truman L. Stone, of Orangeville, with whom she has
lived since the death of her husband in 1887.
She was a woman of cheerful temper, kind to all,
sympathetic with all who were in trouble, and ever
ready to aid the unfortunate, and do what she could
to relieve those who were in distress.
The legitimate fruits of a long life so filled with
good deeds, was a large circle of devoted friends, who
mourn her departure. In her christian character, she
was a woman of deeds rather than of professions. She
was not one of those who on the street corners cried,
"Lord, Lord," but rather one who did the will of her
Heavenly Father.

MEMORANDA.

GENEALOGY OF THE STONE FAMILY. 121
For several years she has been an invalid; at
times a sufferer, and recently almost helpless, but
through all these weary months and years she has
been cheerful, and has ever seemed disposed to look
on the bright side of life.
In the remembrance of her broad charity, her
cheerful disposition, her life filled with good deeds,
and her love for all that is good and bright and beau
tiful her children have a priceless legacy.
The spring after his (Harvey's) marriage he
bought some land of his father, Reuben (37). He
lived on this farm until the winter of 1844, when he
sold this farm and purchased of his father-in-law
(Truman Lewis), who was agent for the Trustees
under the will of James Loyd, deceased, of Boston,
Mass., a farm on lot No. 58, in Orangeville, N. Y.
He afterward bought more land so that he had a large
farm. He built good buildings and lived on this farm
in comparative comfort all his life. He held the office
of supervisor in 1855, was a justice of the peace for
twelve years, and justice of sessions for the county
two terms. He loved his country and its civil institu
tions. While a boy at school he wrote an essay which
was long, and prophesied with uncommon clearness
that the final result of slavery in this country would
be war and bloodshed, which prophecy proved only
too true. He was a man of sterling virtues. Among
these may be mentioned remarkable uprightness of
character, and he possessed a great dislike for any
thing petty or mean.
He was ever ready to oblige when it could be done
without sacrifice of principle, but could not give up his
own personal opinions. He attended and supported
the Presbyterian church. He and his wife lie peace
fully side by side in the cemetery at Johnsonburg,

N. Y., in which place they attended church for more
than thirty years.
The Western Netv Yorker published the following
notices of their deaths :
January 11, 1887.
HARVEY STONE died at his home in the town
of Orangeville, January 7th, the funeral obsequies
taking place at Johnsonburg on the 9th, attended by
a very large collection of commemorating neighbors
and friends from adjoining towns. Reuben Stone,
father of the decased, was an early pioneer of the
town, locating in 1811, from Livonia, Livingston
County, N. Y. Mr. Stone was truly a native of the
town in which he had lived from birth, born on the
premises where his father first located, February
14th, 1818. A representative citizen, meriting and
retaining the confidence of a community most familiar
with him, was the recipient of all the town offices at
various periods, except town clerk and collector.
For two terms presided on the bench as justice of ses
sions. His industry a,nd exertions largely promoted
the clearing up and prosperity of the town. Among
the first to introduce extended dairy manufacture of
cheese, that placed a backward locality in the list of
competing agricultural advance. The demised had
been a victim of paralysis for three years previous to
his death, during the time gradually failing, subjected
to lingering disease and helpless prostration, finally
prostrated a strong frame and healthy constitution
that had endured the hardships incident to the occupa
tion of farmer, whose examples were not without
merit. His genial deportment will not fail to be
remembered by all with whom he associated. Meet
ing acquaintances always cordial, in contact with
strangers equally genial. Always a well provided
home furnished an open door of welcome and hospital
ity. A widow wife survives to mourn his absence, one
daughter, Mrs. George L. Parker, of Buffalo, and two

sons, M. L. Stone, of Wamego, Kansas, and T. L.
Stone, present keeper of the Wyoming County Poor-
house. Thursday, October 18, 1894.
MRS. ELIZA STONE.— Died at Varysburg on
the 15th inst., age 74 years. Mrs. Stone was the
widow of Harvey Stone, deceased, mother of Truman
Lewis Stone, and sister of S. D. Lewis, of this place.
For several years she has been an invalid and for a
long time almost helpless, but has had the tenderest
care from her son and his wife, with whom she has
lived since the death of her husband. Mrs. Stone
leaves two other children, Mrs. George L. Parker, of
Buffalo, and M. L. Stone, of Wamego, Kansas. In
her case also it is demonstrated that a long and useful
life brings its legitimate fruitage in a large circle of
friends, who will long remember her gentle nature
and her many acts of kindness. The funeral will be
attended on Thursday, the 18th, at 2 o'clock p. m.
from her son's residence.
The personal characteristics of Mr. Stone best
appear in the following letters to the writer from the
Hon. A. J. Lorish, County Judge of Wyoming County,
and S. D. Lewis, a life-long resident of the county:
Warsaw, N. Y., August 12, 1896.
Mr. T. L. Stone:
Dear Friend : — I hear you are contemplating writing
up and publishing a life of your father, and I want to
contribute a few words. I went into Judge Corlett's
office in Attica, as a law-student in 1857 ; and, as was
the case with all law- students in those days, I was
expected to pettifog all justice's court matters coming
into the office ; and with a copy of Blackstone under
my arm, I traveled all over that region and became
acquainted with every justice of the peace for miles
around. One day I was directed by the judge to go up

before Esq. Stone of Orangeville, and try a law-suit.
He explained to me the matter and advised me what to
do. I asked him who would be against me, and was
told Blackmer, Henshaw or Gladding and, perhaps,
all combined. I was startled, for all those gentlemen
were giants in justices' court, in those days. Judge
Corlett noticed my terror, — ¦ said encouragingly,
"Don't be scared! Harve Stone," as he was famil
iarly called, "presides in and runs his own court, and
no party in a suit before him, fails to receive justice
no matter who his lawyer is, or who is against him,
and he won't see you harmed." Thus assured, I went
and tried the case, and found Esq. Stone just as Cor
lett had said, and in the many times after that I
appeared in his couit, I had additional evidence that
impartial justice was always dealt out to suitors. He
was remarkable along that line. He could grasp the
question in dispute and readily see what justice
required, and was fearless in administering it. He
never permitted technicalities to stand in the way;
but, before resorting to trial, he sat, in all matters of
dispute between his neighbors, as a mediator and a
peacemaker. The same independence and fearless
ness that characterized his official acts was seen in his
politcal life. He was always ready, when disagreeing
with old political associates, to give a reason for the
faith that was in him. His large commanding pres
ence and personal address, with an inexhaustible fund
of good humor and agreeable conversational powers,
made him a welcome party in any gathering. Every
body conceded conscientiousness and honesty to the
acts of Harvey Stone, whether personal, judicial or
political. Yours, etc.,
ANDREW J. LORISH.

Warsaw, N. Y., August 7, 1896.
Truman L. Stone, Esq., Varysburg, N. Y.:
Dear Nephew — Kindly accept the following as a
brief response to your letter of recent date, asking me
to give you some characteristics of your father and
grandfather. My recollections of Reuben Stone are very clear
and distinct. He was a typical pioneer of New Eng
land birth, who brought into the wilderness of West
ern New York, a sturdy independence of character;
that patient industry, which changed the unbroken
forest into fruitful fields ; and that love for every good
institution, which made him a faithful, active sup
porter of schools, the Christian church, and every
other organized effort to educate and elevate the race.
He was a man of independent thought — one who
formed his own opinions, and believed most implicitly
in the correctness of his own conclusions. By his
industry, frugality and good management, he achieved
success in his chosen occupation. As a neighbor, he
was kind and generous, and in his family, loved and
venerated. His second wife was sister to my mother,
and as his farm joined that of my father, the relations
of the two families were quite close and intimate. In
olden times he was a whig in politics, and for years
Truman Lewis and Reuben Stone were elected over
seers of the poor for the town of Orangeville on the
same ticket. In many ways your father, Harvey
Stone, resembled his father, Reuben. He was per
haps somewhat more social, a man of wider acquain
tance, and more inclined to keep step with modern
methods, and one whose mental vision took in a
wider sweep. Like him he was a man of positive
convictions touching all questions, and he always

MEMORANDA.

GENEALOGY OF THE STONE FAMILY. 131
stood ready to maintain them fearlessly. He married
my sister, Eliza, on her twentieth birthday, and
together with brave hearts, and strong and tireless
hands, they commenced to carve out their fortunes.
In this respect, like your grandfather, they were
reasonably successful. They acquired a modest inde-
pedence, not by a skillful shuffling of financial cards,
but by an intelligent use of the means at hand, and
by a determined tireless industry.
Harvey Stone held several important town offices.
If I remember correctly he was at different times
high way commissioner, justice of the peace, and
supervisor; and at least for one term, he was
called by the electors of Wyoming County to the
office of sessions justice. You certainly can look back
upon your ancestry with pride.
While such men's names are not always written
in flaming characters on historic pages, it is neverthe
less true that in more respects than one, their lives
are heroic. When we recall their limitations, and
remember their interest in others, and their labors
freely given for others, as well as their successful
struggles against every obstacle standing between
them and their hope, we may well apply to their
lives, these words of Wordsworth :
"Life I repeat is energy of love,
Divine or human ; exercised in pain,
In strife, and tribulation ; and ordained
If so approved and sanctified, to pass
Through shades and silent rest, to endless joy."
Yours truly, S. D. LEWIS.

and bought sixty acres of land on lot No. 44. Soon
after he purchased land adjoining, so that he had a
farm of over two hundred acres. Soon after marriage
he commenced making dairy cheese for Rochester
market. In 1858 he commenced buying cheese on
speculation, which business he followed the rest of his
life. In the spring of 1864 he erected a cheese factory
at Johnsonsburg, N. Y., being the first one built west
of Herkimer County. He afterward bought other fac
