Notes for George W. STONE
A story related by Oscar Ray Stone, son of Silar Stone: “George and Mary Ann ran away from Ohio because their folks did not want them to marry, this was about 1833. They walked to Illinois and homesteaded on lands along the Mississippi River, where the town of Quincy is now. The State or County traded them this ground for one-half section of land in Adams County where Stones Prairie is now about 1835/36, and this is where they raised their family.
George made his Will on 25 October 1894.
