To all whom this concerns...

I came accross HUNDREDS of family papers dating as far back as the late 1700's today buried in a Grandmother's closet.

Just one of these papers has the following information:

The Stone's came from Bedford County, VA to Adair County KY in 1815

Grandfather Patterson's father was Joseph Stone
Grandfather Patterson was John W. Patterson, he married Jane Ramsey and they were the parents of Martha Jane Stone.

The Patterson's were related to the Stotts, Criels, Walkers and Ramsey's.

The Stones were related to the Tate's and Lee's (as in General Lee) of Virginia.

John Stone and Miss Stith had a son
this son's name is Moses Stone and he married Nancy Whittere
Mr. and Mrs. Moses Stone had a Son William Alexander Stone who married Martha Jane Patterson

William A. Stone and the Patterson's came from KY to Illinois in 1830




Sorry for the rough translation at this time. But we spent a better half of a day just sorting through just half of one of 3 boxes of VERY OLD papers. And this was by far the smallest box. There will be much more to come in the future.

oops, a quick correction:

Grandfather Patterson's father was Joseph Patterson

Does your Stone line include Elizabeth Frances Stone b.c.1829/d. of Noah Stone/son of Admira Stone?
Elizabeth Stone m. JosephJames Morrison 10-22-1846 , Adair Co., Ky.

Brenda,

We have searched through our records that we have with us right now, and we cannot find any record of any of these Stone's. (Elizabeth Frances, Noah Stone or Admira Stone)

I am thinking they are related to our Stone's some how, but I don't know how yet.

This is what we have that roots in Adair County:

**John Stone
b. ??
d. ??
m. W Stith (sp?)

had a Son (only one we know for sure)
**Moses Stone
b. ??
d. ??
m. Nancy Whitten

had a Son (only one we know for sure)
**William Alexander Stone
b. October 20, 1809 in Botetourt County VA
d. February 03, 1903 OR Jan 22 1897
(we found on a legal document stating that he died 02/03/1903, but someone else says that he died 01/22/1897. We plan on going to his gravesite to see for sure)
m. Martha Jane Patterson
b. November 15, 1814

W.A. Stone & M.J. Patterson had NINE kids:

1.Caleb Tate Stone
b. January 28, 1835

2.James Patterson Stone
b. June 2, 1837

3.Lucalla Jane Stone
b. December 8, 1839

4.John Little Stone
b. August 8, 1842

5.Claudius Lysias Stone

6.Margrite Catherine Stone

7.William Lee Stone
b. April 25, 1851

8.Bertha Ann Stone
b. October 20, 1853

9.Martha Ella Stone
b. January 1859


From these kids we only know for sure:

Claudius Lysias Stone
m1. Mollie
b. 1847 in Ohio
d. between 1882 and 1884. Mollie was killed by a tornado that hit there house. She did not make it into the basement and sustained injuries that she later died of.

m2. Jennie L. Chenauth
b. May 1863 in Illinois
d. April 24, 1929 in Illinois


C.L. Stone and Mollie had 4 Kids:

1.William Ed Stone

2.Arthur Stone

3.Clyde Earnest Stone

4.Hally (or Hal) Marot Stone

We have more decendents of the last 4 children if anyone ever needs it. Just contact us directly.

HI: I am looking for a Joseph Patterson b. 1779 whose
Father supposedly was Wm. Patterson. Jos. was born
somewhere in Pa. He married a Sarah Stephens. They
travelled with a family by the name of Weir to Ky. then
on to Oh. and In. Wm. died in 1816 in Ky and Jos.
died in Indiana

This may very well be a part of the Patterson family that I am tracing. They moved from Sangamon county, IL to Lee county, Iowa about 1837. ( part of the Black Hawk purchase). I have much history of the family but obviously have gaps and holes that need filled in. Please contact me at PATT6906@alltel.net.

This is an old post, but jut in case any one reads this, Moses Stone (married Nancy Whitten) was the son of Micajah Stone not John. I don't doubt that some people in Illinois thought that the relationship was different as Moses and Nancy died shortly after coming to Illinois leaving an extended family who were then cared for by William A Stone as well as other family members living in the area. This could easily lead to confusion as to the Stone lineage. The Stiths were related to the Stones - but not as reported here.

In my message dated December 28,200l I said that
Joseph Patterson b. 1779 might be the son of William
Patterson, I think that has been proven wrong but I still
don't know who his father was and it is 2008!! Realizing
this is an old "post" I am wondering if the gentleman
got through all those boxes and found anything pertaining
to Joseph who was born in Pa. 3/19/1779 and who married
a Sarah Stephens b. 1791 also from Pa. My email has
changed from "dogwalker" to ywatkin@cox.net
Thanks much,

This is very exciting news for me! I have been researching the Stott's family for about a year now. My Great Great Grandfather was Joseph Patterson Stotts. He married my Great Great Grandmother Mary Virginia Grove. I am trying to locate where they are buried and when he died. I have her information as she lived with her daughter, my Great Grandmother (Mary Gertrude Stotts Shotwell) in Greybull, Wyoming when she died. I would love to share family information if you are willing!
