Notes for James STONE
They lived in Prince William County, Virginia until they moved into West Virginia, perhaps around 1783. Most of the children were born in Prince William County, Virginia.
The 1830 census shows James in Hampshire County, Virginia with 8 whites in the Family. The 1784 census shows 9 whites in the family, which would indicate William was born about 1783/84, and the rest of the offspring earlier.1
“James Stone and his wife,Rebecca, lived near the Lost River in the part of Hampshire County, that became Hardy County in 1785.7,1
There is an entry on 10-Mar-1783 from Joseph Hill to James Stone, in Hampshire County for 150 Acres “on Little Caceon” On the same day James Stone witnessed a lease for Joseph Hill to Daniel Hill. The other witnesses on that day were David Collins, & George Lewis.1
Other deeds recorded to James Stone in that area are:
• Hampshire County, Virginia-29-September-1788- 17 Acres on the North Face of Brance Mountain.
• Hardy County, West Virginia-4-May-1791-278 Acres- on Vines Run leading into Lost River.
• Hardy County, West Virginia-9-Semtember-1796-102 Acres on Limestone Mountain.
• Hardy County, West Virginia-9-September-1798-50 Acres- on the West Side of Lost River on Rocky Branch.
The will8 which follows, shows him owning land in Ohio, and one copy of a deed indicates he owned land there, a part of the United States Military Land previous to the 21st day of February, 1800.
James died in October or November of 1817. Rebecca was still alive in Jyuly of 1828, but I have no further information on her.1
The Will was presented to Court by William B. Stone on the 9th day of March 1819 and William B. Stone was issued a certificate to obtain a Probate.
The 12th of March 1828 the children of James Stone appeared before the Court and agreed to close the Estate Account. Rebeckah Stone was still living but the Court directed William B. Stone to present the closing statements and sale of slaves.
The 8th of July 1828 the Court dismissed William B. Stone as Executor and accepted his records with no execeptions.1
His will is source 8.
