The author would like to thank the staffs of Thomas Stone National Historic Site and Birthplace National Monument for their assistance in answering questions and providing copies of documents and photographs used in this report.

I would also like to thank all of the descendants of Thomas Stone, who have been so generous with their time and patience, especially Richard and Beverly Stone. Lastly, thanks to Jean Lee, foremost Thomas Stone scholar, who cheerfully answered some knotty background questions.

vi ADMINISTRATION

Thomas Stone National Historic Site (NHS) was authorized November 10,1978, by Public Law 95-625.1 The central core of the main , Haberdeventure2, had been gutted by fire in 1977. Since its acquisition of the site, the National Park Service has restored the exterior of the house to its 1900 appearance, the earliest documented period.3 The interior of the house will be used largely for exhibits, including three historically furnished .

The documentation for the furnishings of Haberdeventure falls into two categories. The documentary evidence consists mainly of Thomas Stone’s will, the inventories of Stone’s estates in Charles County and Annapolis, the wills and inventories of later occupants of Haberdeventure, and a number of late-18th-century inventories from Charles County and neighboring counties in Maryland and Virginia collected for comparative purposes. A few 20th-century photographs exist of the interior of Haberdeventure. A large body of material evidence also exists for the site. A number of items known to have been used at Haberdeventure through the 20th century have been located. Unfortunately, although many objects date to the last quarter of the 18th century, it is impossible to prove beyond doubt in most instances that a particular item was used by Thomas Stone, and is not simply an older item introduced by a later occupant of the house. Archaeological investigation has uncovered a wide variety of ceramics and glassware probably used by the inhabitants of Haberdeventure in the 18th century, including some nearly complete items.

The exhibit plan for Thomas Stone NHS includes an audio-visual orientation located in the , exhibits to be placed in the North and South (101 and 103), and information and sales in the Dining Room (104). The West Parlor (105), Stair (106) and East Parlor (107) will be historically furnished. The furnishings in the Stair Hall will be limited to large reproduction items and items that can be firmly attached to the , since visitors will have free access to this space and small objects would be difficult to secure. The East Parlor will be fitted with new reproduction wood paneling, copied from the original paneling removed from the house in 1928 and now installed in the Baltimore Museum of Art.4 The historically furnished East and West Parlors will be protected by barriers designed by the firm producing the exhibit. The East Parlor, which will be

Some of those alternative spellings can be found in the cited references of this historic furnishings report. However, since ‘Haberdeventure’ is the spelling that Thomas Stone and his descendants used, and since the period of interpretation for the house is 1900 and ‘Haberdeventure’ is what was used at that time, this historic furnishings report employs ‘Haberdeventure’ as well. There will be no 'sics’ after any of the alternative spellings.

CX-4000-6-0022.) 1 interpreted as the Stones’ bedchamber, will feature a vignette with a costumed figure representing Margaret Stone seated at a table having breakfast. The West Parlor will contain costumed figures representing Thomas Stone and his uncle Daniel Jenifer discussing the supply needs of the . Also in the room will be a costumed figure of a black servant removing breakfast dishes from the tables. The historic furnishings for these rooms will be based on Thomas Stone’s Charles County and Annapolis inventories, on comparative inventories, and on extant examples of believed to be original to Haberdeventure.

INTERPRETIVE OBJECTIVES

Three interpretive themes are listed in the Thomas Stone NHS General Management Plan:

— the life and career of Thomas Stone, in the context of the war for independence and the development of a new nation

— the history of land use and development of Haberdeventure

— the history of the Port Tobacco area as it relates to Thomas Stone.5

The objectives listed in the “Interpretive Prospectus” include summarizing the national significance of Thomas Stone and describing the lifestyle of the Stones and their servants at Haberdeventure.6

The furnishings in the East Parlor will reflect that room’s use as the Stones’ bedchamber. Most 18th-century had first rooms that functioned as bedchambers. Mrs. Stone’s health declined for years after her inoculation for smallpox in 1776. Therefore, furnishing a first floor room as a sick chamber makes sense in terms of providing easy access for servants and allowing Mrs. Stone to remain in the mainstream of the household. The visitor’s initial impression upon entering the room will be Mrs. Stone sitting at the tea table, with an empty place set for her husband, called away to the next room to discuss pressing issues relating to the war effort. Information on the barriers will discuss the tension in Stone’s life between his desire to be of service to his country and his desire to be at tending to his law practice and caring for his wife and family, particularly after his wife became ill.

The furnishings items in the stair hall will help set the economic and social scene. Muskets and fowlers mounted on the wall indicate to visitors how vulnerable residents of Charles County felt because of their proximity to the river.

6 Ibid., p. 9. 2 Elegant chairs and tables, delicate ceramics and rich fabrics echo and amplify the in the paneled room (room 107). Visitors can move fully into this room, even sit in a reproduction Chippendale chair, as if they were invited guests. Around the room will be signs of a large family enjoying breakfast and taking part in a variety of activities. Thomas Stone opened his home to five brothers and sisters, and at its most crowded, Haberdeventure was home to a white population of seven adults and four children. Thomas Stone and his uncle Daniel Jenifer are seated at a table, the breakfast dishes pushed back, examining and other provisions for the Continental Army. An interpretive sign will explain Stone’s involvement in the nuts and bolts of the revolution, not just by obtaining guns and blankets but by hammering out the documents that eventually became the framework for the new American government. As the visitor looks further around the room, however, he or she will realize that there is another figure behind them, in the shadows, that of a slave clearing away the breakfast dishes. At the time of Thomas Stone’s death, 20 African Americans were members of the Haberdeventure estate, although many of them may have lived elsewhere.7 Interpretive signs mounted on the barrier will discuss how slavery was the underpinning of the society. Men and women like Mr. and Mrs. Stone could not have enjoyed the life of comparative ease that they led without the essentially free labor of the enslaved Negro. Even though Haberdeventure never functioned as a profitable farm, Stone owned many slaves and rented many of them out for income, as well as using them for household labor.

Personal services tours can be structured around these themes, using the furnishings and the figures as a jumping-off place for discussions about plantation economy, the Stones’ lifestyle, and Stone’s participation in the .

OPERATING PLAN

The current plan does not call for sufficient staffing to allow guided tours for all visitors, therefore the operating plan assumes that visitors will see the house on their own. Visitors will see the audio-visual presentation in the garage, then enter the house by the west . After viewing exhibits in the North and South Kitchens (101 and 103), visitors will walk through the Dining Room (104), which will contain a desk usually staffed by a ranger, a literature display, and limited architectural exhibits. From the Dining Room, visitors will walk up the (which will be fitted with a stair climber for the mobility-impaired) to the West Parlor (105). Visitors will view the historically- furnished bedchamber from behind a waist-high barrier that incorporates interpretive information, then will proceed into the Stair Hall (106), which will be interpreted by a panel positioned at the bottom of the stairs to discourage access to the second floor. The last room to be viewed inside the house is the East Parlor (107). A waist-high barrier will enclose a large area from which visitors can see the room. Visitors can sit down and rest here on reproduction 18th-century Maryland chairs, read the interpretive labels at their leisure, and enjoy their surroundings. The East Parlor could also be used as a gathering

The floor will be carpeted so that schoolchildren can sit on the floor while listening to the interpreter’s program. From the East Parlor, all visitors will retrace their steps and exit through the west door.

Currently, Thomas Stone NHS is open during the summer (Memorial Day to Labor Day) seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The rest of the year the site is open 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday. The days and hours of operation of the site when fully developed have yet to be determined. Currently staffing consists of two permanent rangers and one seasonal ranger. When fully developed, the park will have three permanent and three seasonal rangers.

4 HISTORY

The history of Haberdeventure and its inhabitants has been documented in a number of National Park Service reports, including the “Historic Structure Report,” the “Historic Resource Study,” and the “Summary Report of Additional Research Findings.” Complete citations for these reports are in the bibliography.

HISTORY OF HABERDEVENTURE

Thomas Stone’s Haberdeventure is a five-part country house, arranged in an asymmetrical arc around the central brick block. The house may have been more symmetrical when it was originally designed, echoing the very formal layouts of houses appearing in the architectural pattern books of Gibbs and Palladio.8

The central block of Haberdeventure is the oldest original portion of the house, probably dating to 1772,9 but was almost completely destroyed by fire on January 1,1977.10 The National Park Service is restoring the to its appearance in 1900.11 12 The interior woodwork in the fully paneled East Parlor was sold to the Baltimore Museum of Art, removed from the house and installed in the museum in 1928 where it has been on continuous display ever since. This woodwork will serve as the model for the reproduction paneling to be replaced in the East Parlor during the restoration work.

The adjoining West Hyphen was built shortly afterward, probably within a few years. About 1928, a high gambrel was added to the West Hyphen to create a new second story.13 The East Hyphen may have been built at the same time as the West Hyphen or perhaps slightly later. Although the East Wing also dates to the 18th century, architects believe that it is a wholly separate and independent structure moved to the site and placed on top of already existing foundations.14

The West Wing dates from 1840-45, and replaces an earlier structure whose foundations remain underneath. William Briscoe Stone referred to the construction of this wing in an 1846 letter to his daughter Mary. In this letter, Stone remarks that “we have got back in

HISTORICAL OCCUPANCY

Leaving aside his professional and political life entirely, Thomas Stone must have found the period from 1770 to 1775 extremely demanding physically, emotionally and financially. Stone purchased the land upon which he built Haberdeventure in 1770.17 In 1771, Thomas and Margaret Stone’s first child, Margaret, was bom, followed by Mildred in 1773, and Frederick in 1774.18 Stone commissioned the construction of Haberdeventure during this period, and presumably moved his family into the house in 1772-73. In 1773, Thomas Stone’s father, his older brother Frederick, and his younger brother Daniel died.19 Over the next two years, five of Thomas’s remaining six siblings moved into Haberdeventure to live with his young family.20 One of his sisters, Catherine Scott, appeared on his doorstep a destitute widow with a small child to support.21 In five short years Thomas Stone went from supporting just his wife to supporting six adults and four children. It is possible that Haberdeventure was originally conceived as a simple four-room house, but was almost immediately enlarged with wings and hyphens to accommodate the 11 people who lived there from 1775 to 1783.

In 1783, Thomas Stone moved his wife and three children into a large house in Annapolis purchased from his uncle, Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer.22 Stone’s brothers and sisters continued to occupy Haberdeventure. Michael Jenifer and Walter Stone together managed Haberdeventure and Stone’s other Charles County business affairs.23

23 Ibid., p. 7. 6 Thomas Stone’s wife Margaret died in June 1787, and Thomas died soon after in October of the same year.24 Their three orphaned children were probably cared for by their aunts and uncles, either at Haberdeventure or elsewhere in Charles County. Frederick went to Princeton, then died in Philadelphia in 1793. After his death, Mildred and Margaret divided their father’s lands by verbal agreement, with Mildred assuming ownership of Haberdeventure and Margaret getting the balance of the property.25

Mildred married her cousin Travers Daniel, Jr. in 1791, and moved to Stafford County, Virginia. In 1793, Margaret married Travers’s brother Dr. John Moncure Daniel. Margaret and John Daniel apparently lived at Haberdeventure at least until 1798, but moved to Virginia before 1809.26

Starting around 1780, the various members of the extended Stone family gradually left Haberdeventure. First to leave was Elizabeth Eden, around 1780. Walter Stone probably left after Thomas Stone’s death in 1787. Michael Jenifer Stone moved to his residence at “Equality” (in Charles County, Maryland) by 1797. Catherine Scott and her son Alexander probably left by 1798. Grace Stone may have lived at Haberdeventure until her death in 1808. Mildred Stone probably leased Haberdeventure to tenants between 1808 and the early 1820s, when Michael Jenifer Stone’s son William Briscoe Stone apparently moved into the house. In 1831, William Briscoe Stone and his father-in-law Gustavus Brown (Margaret Stone’s nephew) purchased Haberdeventure from Mildred Stone.27

William Briscoe Stone, a self-styled country lawyer, lived and raised his family at Haberdeventure. William Briscoe Stone and his wife had four children: Margaret Graham (bom 1827), Thomas (bom 1829), Mary (bom 1830) and Caroline (bom 1841).28 William Briscoe Stone lived the rest of his life at Haberdeventure, and died there in 1872. He was assisted in the management of the farm in his later years by his daughter Margaret, who never married and remained at Haberdeventure until her death in 1913.29

At her death, Margaret Stone bequeathed the property to her nephew, Michael Robertson Stone (son of Thomas and Betty Edelen Stone). Michael R. Stone was a teacher and

One of his children, Betty Stone Lybrook, still has many fond memories of her childhood at Haberdeventure. She recalls spending hours playing in the fields surrounding the house and riding horses every day. Mrs. Lybrook shared the directly over the East Parlor with her sisters Margaret and Eleanor. Her mother and father and whichever child was the youngest shared the bedroom over room 105, which they called the sitting room. The older boys shared the rooms in the second floor of the West Wing. In fact, one of the main reasons Michael Stone built a second story over the west hyphen was to provide access to the older boys’ , which were felt to be too isolated from the rest of the family.31

In 1927, Michael and his wife Bessie sold three portraits and the paneling from the East Parlor to the Baltimore Museum of Art.32 The paneling was replaced with an exact reproduction.

Michael R. Stone died in 1932, but his family continued to live at Haberdeventure until they sold the property to Charles Stevenson Smith in 1936. The contract of sale lists the furniture included in the sale price. These pieces were stated to be “of the original furnishings of Haber de Venture.”33

Nine years later Smith sold the property to Peter and Ruth Gardner Vischer.34 In 1950 Ruth Vischer died. A year later Peter Vischer married Helen C. Lombard.35 The Vischers were involved in breeding and racing thoroughbred horses. Peter Vischer died in 1967, but his wife continued to live at Haberdeventure. On January 1,1977, a fire almost completely destroyed the central block of the house, and caused some damage to the West Hyphen.36 The building stood abandoned until it was purchased by the U.S. Government in 1981.37 Since its purchase by the federal government, Haberdeventure has been restored to its 1900 appearance.

SUMMARY OF SOURCES

The following sources were examined during the preparation of this report:

Wills and inventories of the Stone family and descendants

The inventory of Thomas Stone’s Haberdeventure is the most significant piece of furnishings evidence. Stone’s Annapolis inventory probably included some items that had been at Haberdeventure before Stone purchased his new home. Specifically, any items on the Annapolis inventory described as “old” were presumed to have come from Haberdeventure. The wills and inventories of later inhabitants document the contents of Haberdeventure in the 19th and 20th centuries. Inventories of other family members who lived at Haberdeventure may contain objects used at the site. Other family inventories are either helpful in tracing the ultimate location of original Stone objects or useful for comparative information.

Comparative inventories of other Charles County residents, 1760-1800

These inventories put the furnishings of Haberdeventure in a contemporary context. The estates represented by these comparative inventories have a net worth close to that of Haberdeventure, and therefore provide information on how Stone’s peers in Charles County were furnishing their homes. See Appendix A.

Room-by-room inventories from Prince George’s County, Maryland, and from Richmond and Lancaster Counties, Virginia, 1760-1800

Room inventories were used primarily to determine the appropriate rooms in which to place objects listed on Stone’s Haberdeventure and Annapolis inventories. See Appendix B.

Family papers

The family papers included provide a variety of information on furnishings and lifestyle.

9 Photographs of the interior of Haberdeventure

These photographs provide the best evidence of the appearance of certain rooms during the 20th century. See “Illustrations.”

Material evidence

This category includes a list of objects with a history of use at Haberdeventure, as well as objects listed in various wills that are believed to have been a part of the original Stone estate. The results of archaeological investigations are also included here. See Appendix C for a list of books extant from the Stone family.

10 EVIDENCE OF ROOM USE AND FURNISHINGS

The original wills, inventories, etc., whose information was transcribedfor this historical furnishings report were, of course, handwritten. It is very difficult to accurately transcribe on a computer-typed document the nuances o f an historical, handwritten document. For instance, there were many braces - braces look like this: { or like this:} - in the original documents that were meant to group together several items into one tally. Where that occurred, in this typed document, the author has indented three spaces all the lines after the first line o f items that were figured in sets. Where there used to be braces there are now indented second, third, fourth (etc.) lines instead, to signify groups o f items that were tallied together. Figures fall on the bottom line o f each set.

A note about ‘sics’: Also true o f the original wills, inventories, etc., whose information was used in the preparation o f this report are the facts that 1) many words were spelled quite differently 200-plus years ago than they are today, and 2 the ‘correct’ spelling of words may have been considered by those who kept records o f inventories, wills and the like only casually or not at all. So ‘sics ’ to denote misspelled words are rarely used in this historic furnishings report; there would simply be too many o f them, and they would become distracting, especially in the inventories, where misspellings and older spellings and abbreviations occur frequently. 'Sic ’ has been used to denote misspelled words only when the editor thought it was absolutely necessary, usually when the intended meaning of the word is so unclear as to possibly cause the reader confusion.

33 Will of Walter Stone (will dated 1790; W. Stone died 1791), brother of Thomas Stone, A K 11, pp. 47-52, CR 49, 156-1; Charles County Courthouse

In the name of God Amen. I Walter Stone of Charles county Merchant do make my last will and Testament in manner and form following. Imprimis, I offer my soul to God Almighty Lord, the mercies of our Saviour the lord Jesus, my Body to be plainly intered; and request my Friends to wear no mourning apparel for me, and that they will be as happy without me as with me, seing that all mortalls must die, and that I have taken a short adieu to meet I hope in Glory eternal. I leave and bequeath unto my dear Brother His heirs & assigns for ever, all the property whether real personal or mixed all debts and all advantages whatever which I may hold claim or be entitled to at the time of my death belonging or in any wise relating to the concerns [ill.] and partnerships in trade of John H. Stone and John & Walter Stone. Hereby intending to constitute my said Brother John Hoskins Stone completely my sole Heir and representative in all the merchantile transactions profits property and concerns in which I shall at the time of my Death be engaged or interested in the said Partnerships and provided my said Brother John Hoskins Stone will pay all my Just debts whether private or relating to the partnerships aforesaid it is my will that my Executor hereafter named shall have no concern or interference with the property or concerns before mentioned nor shall the same be brought to appraisement or account. If I had been possessed of a large Estate it would have given me much pleasure to have bequeathed it to my relations because knowing thier honest worth I am satisfied they would have made good use of it, but I have no property to give worth their acceptance as such except that bequeathe my Brother John H. Stone as aforesaid, and which I consider him justly entitled to. The fond and affectionate spirit with which the following Trifles are accompanied I hope will render them dear and valuable to the possessors. I bequeathe my dear and good sister Catharine Scott my riding chair. To my dear & much valued sister Betty Anne Eden the debt she owes me & all commission & debts due me as administrator of Townshend Eden’s Estate & John Eden seniors Estate. To my most dear & affectionate neice Margaret Stone my Gold watch which I have delivered her. To my very dear neice Mildred Stone a Gold Locket or Bracelet to purchased by my aforesaid Brother John H. Stone out of the Legacy bequeathed to him. To my dear Brother Michael Jenifer Stone my Printed Books, my wearing apparel, my case of Bottles, my Desk & Book case & my Huntsman’s Horn to my dear nephew Alexander Scott my Gun made by Helland [?] & Co. and accutrements thereto belonging. To my dear nephew Frederick Stone, my Pistols and accutrements thereto belonging. To my dear and valued Friend Doctor my Case of lancets with

34 my name engraved thereon. To my dear and valued Friend William Craik my steel watch chain with Edward Jones’s name thereon. All the rest and residue of my Estate of what nature or kind so ever not before by this my will bequeathed, I leave and bequeathe to my dear Sister Grace Stone and her Heirs, and if she should die before marriage and without having made any Disposition of said property I desire and will that it or so much thereof as may remain shall belong to my aforesaid neice Margaret Stone.

I constitute and appoint my aforesaid nephew Alexander Scott Executor of this my last will. I appoint my Brother Michael Jenifer Stone to examine all my papers which he will find in the Desk and drawers or elsewhere and desire him to deliver up to my Brother John H. Stone or his legal representatives all that may relate to merchantile concerns, and to deliver to the legal Representatives of the Administrators of Townsend Eden & John Eden such as relate to that Estate taking a receipt for the same, the rest to be disposed of as he shall think most consistant with propriety. I request also that he and my good friend William Dent Briscoe Esquire will assist my sister Betty Anne Eden in the settlement of the two Estates, so that our securities do not suffer if I do not live to settle them; and as my friend Wm D. Briscoe is well acquainted with my manner of keeping accounts I request he will make the Entries and keep the books properly stated. I scarcely think it necessary to put him in mind of the mutual Promise we made that the longest liver should take care of the Sisters of the Deceased. I expect he will not have much trouble as he will find the proper vouchers for every charge & the Books regularly kept.

In testimony, whereof I have sett my hand & affixed my seal this 4th day of December 1790.

Walter Stone . . .

Annex’d to the foregoing probate is the following Letter to wit

My dear Brother, Bottetourt County August 25th 1791

46 Will of Michael R. Stone (died 1932?), grandson of William Briscoe Stone, GA W 21, pp. 334-37; Charles County Courthouse

I, Michael R. Stone, of Charles County, in the State of Maryland, now temporarily in Washington City, in the District of Columbia, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, in [ill.] following:

First: I commit my soul to the God who gave it and my body to be decently buried and after all of my just debts are paid I give and divide my worldly goods as follows: -

Item 1. I give and devise to my beloved wife, Bessie L. Stone, one third of my personal estate absolutely and one third of the income from my real estate, to be paid her by the Trustee hereinafter named. It being my will and intention that my said wife should take hereunder the same share in my estate as is allowed the widow under the laws of the State of Maryland.

Item 2. I give, bequeath and devise to my friend R. Laurie Mitchell, all the rest and residue of my property, of every kind, real, personal and mixed, and wherever located, in trust and confidence nevertheless, for the use and benefit of my three minor children, Margaret Graham Stone, Eleanor Dent Stone and Bessie Louise Stone, and such other child or children, if any, as shall be bom of my said wife within the period of nine months from the date of my death, until the youngest of said children shall reach the age of Twenty-one years, when said estate shall be equally divided among them share and share alike.

It is my will and desire that the said Trustee, hereinnamed shall receive into his hands any funds enuring to the benefit of my said minor children after the settlement of my personal estate, and that he shall manage and look after any and all real estate of which I may die seized and possessed, collect the rents and profits arising therefrom and after paying all taxes, insurance and other expenses, turn one third of the net proceeds over to my wife, Bessie L. Stone, and invest or expend the balance thereof for the use and benefit of my said minor children.

I further authorize, empower, and direct the said R. Laurie Mitchell, Trustee as aforesaid, if, at any time during the continuance of this trust, it is in his judgment, for the best interest of my said wife and minor children, or the majority of them, to sell and dispose of, mortgage or otherwise encumber any or all of my said real estate, and the said Trustee is herewith

47 given full and ample power to grant and convey, or encumber same, by a good and sufficient deed or other writing, without recourse to a Court of Equity. It is my further wish and desire that in event of a sale of the real estate aforesaid that the proceeds arising therefrom shall be re-invested for the ease and benefit of my said minor children, less such amount as shall be due my said wife, under the Equity rule respecting the Dower interest, which amount shall be turned over to her absolutely by said Trustee. Or said funds shall be applied by said Trustee to the maintenance and education of my said children, or shall appear to him to be for their best interest.

And I further empower the said R. Laurie Mitchell, in event of his death or resignation of this trust, to name his successor with such powers, as he himself had. It being my will and desire that the said Trustee have full controll and management of the estate above mentioned, having full confidence in his faithful performance of the duties hereby imposed upon him and feeling assured that he will always act for the best interest of my minor children.

And lastly, I do hereby make, constitute and appoint R. Laurie Miechell, of Charles County, Maryland, to be the Executor of this, my last Will and Testament, hereby revoking any and all Wills heretofore made by me and declaring this to be my last Will and Testament.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name and affixed my seal, this Twelfth day of August, in the year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fourteen.

M. R. Stone

SIXTH If I have not done so during my lifetime, I direct my executor to arrange for the proper marking of the names of my great-grandfather, JOHN MONCURE CONWAY, my grandfather, WALKER PEYTON CONWAY, and my great-uncle, JUDGE EUSTACE CONWAY on their portraits, which are located in the courthouse in Stafford, Virginia, and to pay the cost thereof from my estate.

Should my estate not be sufficient to pay in full all the bequests made in this paragraph SEVENTH, I direct that such bequests shall be abated proportionately.

EIGHTH: All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, real, personal or

51 mixed, and wherever the same may be situated, and whether I may now or hereafter be entitled thereto, I give, devise and bequeath, in equal shares, to my cousins, MILDRED MARCH, EDWARD HENRY CONWAY, CATHERINE CONSTANCE CONWAY and THOMAS CONRAD PORTER MARTIN.

In the event of the death of any of the four designated persons herein, survived by lawful issue, such issue shall receive the share otherwise distributable to them.

58 Excerpts from Letters, Receipts and Other Papers

Excerpt from letter, Thomas Stone to Walter Stone, Annapolis, July 7, 1786. Private collection, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Stone

I beg you to assort and endorse all the Papers that are lying in the Desk and about loose.

Excerpt from letter, William B. Stone to Mary (Stone?), November 27, 1846. Private collection, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Stone.

We have got back in our old Dining Room, much enlarged improved & amended. I am certain you will be surprised & pleased with the change.

Excerpt from letter, Margaret Stone (daughter ofW.B. Stone) to Thomas D. Stone (her brother), Haberdeventure, March 16 [?], 1849. Envelope addressed to Thomas Stone, Princeton, New Jersey. From private collection, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Stone.

A few evenings after about sunset, when we were all up stairs (in bed) having taking a very long walk in the morning, up drove Mrs. Stonestreets and Gen. Chapman’s carriages, with the Lady’s and most of the Port Tobacco Gents, all ready for a dance. You may imagine what commotion it was for a little while, but we [ill.] rallied, and had a charming evening, danced after the piano several times, which was no benefit to the carpet. It seems that the Lady’s told Cousin Fred, that they were coming, and he invited the Gentlemen and entirely forgot to let us know anything about it, as it happened we had some nice things in the house and it made no difference & what do you think of his forgetfulness.

. . . and trust that you are receiving [portion missing] education, as will make you a wise and [portion missing] man. Remember oh remember My brother, that Princeton is a little world of iniquity, and that learning without virtue is rather a curse than a blessing. You spoke in your last letter of having lately read a History of Maryland, in which the name of ‘Stone’ is often mentioned - let the knowledge that you are descended from the wise and learned, be an incentive to good deeds, you know to whom much is given, much will be required.

Excerpt from letter, M.R.C. Hawkins, Fair Fountain, to Margaret G. Stone, Haberdeventure, July 10,1850. From private collection, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Stone.

64 FURNISHING PLAN

65 RECOMMENDED FURNISHINGS and WORKING DRAWINGS

Bedchamber (Room 105)

Room 105 is furnished as the bedchamber of Thomas and Margaret Stone, reflecting the very common 18th-century practice of situating bedchambers on the first floor of the house. Out of 35 room-by-room inventories dating between 1760 and 1800,94% included beds in a room on the first floor, while only 37% had dining rooms.39

The fully clothed mannequin sitting at the table is intended to represent Mrs. Stone eating breakfast. Her casual dress, consisting of a dressing gown and turban, will be the first clue to the visitor of Mrs. Stone’s chronic illness, which resulted from a failed smallpox inoculation in 1776. Other indications that this is a sick room are the medicine bottles, the sewing and other amusements placed close to the bedside, and the potty chair. An overview of this room will be provided on an interpretive panel attached to the barrier.

Post-production notes:

During the installation of the furnishings for this room, a number of changes were made. The most important of these changes are outlined here:

1. The mannequin was not installed.

2. The locations of the easy chair and the tea table were switched.

3. The mahogany table was placed on the far side of the bed.

4. The Hogarth prints were grouped and hung over the fireplace.

5. A wall mirror was substituted for the dressing glass.

6. The style of curtains is slightly different.

These changes are not reflected in the furnishings list or in the drawing.

39 In room-by-room inventories, the rooms in the decedent’s house are identified and the property is arranged according to room. The inventories were collected from Prince George’s County, Maryland, and the counties of Lancaster and Richmond in Virginia. Only one Charles County room-by-room inventory was located for the period 1760-1800.

71 Passage (Room 106)

The passage is furnished with only a minimum amount of furniture, since visitors will have free circulation through this space. All of the furniture in this room will be reproduction and therefore visitors are free to sit on the chairs if they choose. Reproductions of the muskets and fowler listed on the Stone inventory are displayed in the passage in a rack next to the door. Contrary to popular folklore which places guns over the fireplace, most firearms were stored near a door in order to be close at hand should unfriendly visitors arrive. Visitors will be prevented from wandering upstairs by an interpretive panel placed at the foot of the staircase.

Interview with Betty Lybrook, May 10, 1996.

74 Parlor (Room 107)

The furnishings in this room are designed to convey a number of interpretive points. The main focus of the room will be on the two mannequins of Thomas Stone and his uncle, Daniel Jenifer. Jenifer was instrumental during the Revolutionary War in finding provisions in Charles County for the Continental Army. His main tactic consisted of tapping the wealthiest men in the county for supplies, since the poorer people rarely had enough to take care of themselves.40 Therefore, it would have been natural for Jenifer to visit his sister’s son, Thomas Stone, one of the wealthiest men in the county. Like Jenifer, much of Thomas Stone’s contributions to the Revolution were behind the scenes, helping to draft laws that set the framework for the new American experiment in democracy.

Taken together with the vignette shown in the bedroom, this scene also illustrates the tension between Thomas Stone’s public and private life. Stone was tom between his desire to fulfill his public duty and his responsibility to support his large extended family and his ailing wife. In fact, the parlor is furnished to show the rest of the family’s morning meal being hurriedly clearly away to accommodate the unexpected visitor. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Stone, five other adults and four children occupied Haberdeventure in the 1770s. The furnishings in this room are intended to indicate the number of people who lived with the Stones. In addition to meals set out for each of the adults, a variety of common activities are also represented, including corresponding, reading and sewing.

The last figure in the room represents the other occupants of Haberdeventure. A mannequin of an African American slave woman stands poised at the table near the northwest cupboard, clearing away the breakfast dishes. She is dressed in the working clothes of the poor: a petticoat, short gown and apron with a bib pinned to the bodice. Twenty African American slaves were listed on Thomas Stone’s Haberdeventure inventory, and although many of them were leased out to neighboring planters, several must have remained at Haberdeventure to serve the needs of the Stone family.41

Interpretive panels attached to the barrier will tell the stories of the people who called Haberdeventure home. The barrier will extend far into the room, allowing larger groups of visitors to view the room, examine objects in the southwest cupboard, and sit on the reproduction chairs.

75 Post-production notes:

During the installation of the furnishings for this room, a number of changes were made. The most important of these are outlined here:

1. The mannequins were not installed.

2. The clock was moved from the northeast to the southeast comer.

3. The drop leaf table on the south wall was deleted.

4. Thomas and Margaret Stone’s portraits were moved to the east wall.

6. Since the size of the comer cupboards was decreased due to the addition of modem systems (air handling, electrical, etc.), fewer objects were purchased for display in the cabinets than are listed in the plan.

7. Creamware was substituted for most of the blue and white porcelain.

List of Books

The following list of books was found in the papers of the Richard Stone family and is believed to be a list of books remaining at Haberdeventure during the 1930s, when the property was owned by Michael Robertson Stone. The books marked with an asterisk are, as of the printing of the report, still owned by Richard and Beverly Stone. Six books belonging to the Stones either do not appear on the booklist or are so badly damaged that it is impossible to tell:

-1 badly damaged book missing its cover and title page, inscribed “Scott, Ejus Liber” and “July 16, Anno Domini 1783.”

- Small, incomplete Latin vocabulary book, first extant page is p. 97. Inscribed “Stone.”

-The Principles o f the Christian Religion Explained, no title page.

-Memoirs o f a Lady o f Quality in three volumes, Volume 3 ,4th edition. Dublin: United Company of Book-sellers, 1775. Inscribed “[ill.] Circulating Library.” On spine is written “Smollet Works Vo. III.”

-Dialogue IV of Insects, no title page.

-Incomplete Latin dictionary, no cover or title page.

Many of the books on the following list probably belonged to William Briscoe Stone or other members of the Stone family, but some of the earlier volumes may have been part of Thomas Stone’s “Law Library containing 530 Volumes” or “Other Library containing 258 volumes bound & 121 pamphlets unbound,” as listed in his Annapolis inventory.
