The Stones of Poynton Manor THE STONES OF POYNTON MANOR A genealogical history of Captain William Stone, Gent. and Merchant, Third Propri­ etary Governor of Maryland, with sketches of his English background and a record of some of his descendants in the United States by HARRY WRIGHT NEWMAN Published by the Author I937 STONES OF POYNTON MANOR Mr. Harry Wright Newman has also compiled and published the following books Anne Arundel Gentry The Smoots uf Maryland and Virginia . Vl FOREWORD MARYLAND genealogical researcher once stated that no person A but an angel could untangle the Stones. The compiler of this volume does not profess to be one or even related to any of those imaginary ethereal creatures, but he does believe that many knots have been untangled and the descendants of Governor William Stone, Gent., have been presented in the most comprehensive manner possible with the sources known to a genealogist. In the past, genealogists and many descendants of the various Stone families of Maryland and Virginia all believed or have tried to descend from the Governor, when in fact their Stone lines are from families which are in no Ili.anner connected with that of the Stones of Poynton ·Manor, that is, not on this side of the Atlantic. This volume, however, deals only with the proved descendants of Governor Stone-yet the omission of other Stone families of Mary­ land does not necessarily indicate that they are not related to Governor Stone and his brothers, only that clear proof has not been found. I present this my third opus of Maryland genealogy to the interested public, this first day of June, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-seven. HARRY WRIGHT NEWMAN 1701 H Street Washington, D. C. Vll Stone THE STONES OF POYNTON MANOR HE Stone family of Poynton Manor is one of the most widely T known and at the same time one of the most distinguished colonial families of America whose members from Captain William Stone, Gent., the progenitor and Third Governor of the Province of Maryland, down to the post Civil War period were continuously in the public eye. The Stone family, however, was not distinctive of Maryland, for records show that settlers bearing the name migrated to nearly all of the Thirteen Colonies, particularly to New England where they were strongly entrenched, and to a less degree in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina. Nor were the Stones of Poynton Manor the only family in Maryland. There is proof of early Stone settlers on the Eastern Shore as well as in Calvert, Baltimore, and St. Mary's counties of the Western Shore where descendants still bearing that name are living today. The family of St. Mary's County whose younger members also settled in Charles County was of the Roman Catholic faith and there£ ore is not believed to be closely connected with the family propagated by Governor William Stone. The English ancestry of the Stones of Poynton Manor fortunately is more connected and authentic than most colonial families, for experience has shown that it is extremely difficult to prove conclusively with docu­ mentary evidence the British parents of our American families. Facts and circumstances lead to one William Stone, of Twiston, Lan­ cashire, and we are indebted to his grandson, Thomas Stone, Merchant, of London, whose lineage for third generations was recorded in the Visitation of London. The visitation was made in the seventeenth centurv., by an official representative of the College of Arms to examine the rights of the subjects of London to bear arms, and printed in 1883 by the Harleian Society of England from the original manuscript deposited in the British Museum. The Stone arms as originally granted to the family of Lancashire and reproduced in this volume is described as follows "per bale or and sable a lion rampant count rechanged". The arms used by Thomas Stone, of London, in 1647, and also that of his brother Andrew show various quarterings, particularly the Brinkleton and Girdler families. WILLIAM STONE DE TWISTE (c 1490- 15-) j\ BOUT the time that Christopher Columbus was sailing the seas in .fi the quest of a new route to the East, there was born in northern England one William Stone. Whether he was born in the Parish of Twiston, Lancashire, is a matter of conjecture, but anyhow it was in this quaint parish a few miles from the borderlands of Yorkshire that he reigned as the lord of his domain and raised a family of sons and daughters. The parish is about four and one-half miles east of Clitheroe, Yorkshire, and therefore lies in the hilly districts of Lancashire which to this day have remained untouched and unspoiled from its fifteenth century loveliness. The church or parish records for that period have not been preserved nor unearthed, so little or no knowledge exists of his birth, death, and the baptisms of his children. But we are indebted to the Visitation of London for his existence and for the fact that he married Elizabeth, daughter to John Bradley, of Bradley, Lancashire. He was probably a country squire and a scion of the house which gave the town of Bradley to the county. It was perhaps the present Bradley Fold about three miles east of Bolton in the southern portion of the county. There are no indications of any connections with a noble nor even a knightly house of either the Stone or Bradley clans, but it can be right­ fully assumed that William Stone and his family maintained a respec­ table, if not prominent, position among the landed gentry of Lancaster. From the visitation we learn of one son-Richard. RICHARD STONE DE CROSTON (c r540 - 15-) Richard, son of William and Elizabeth (Bradley) Stone, was born perhaps in the Parish of Twiston, Lancashire, about the year 1540. He married Isabel, the daughter of John Girdler, of Carr House Parish, West Riding, Doncaster, Yorkshire. The marriage is recorded in Latin on the old parchment register of the Parish of Croston as of 12 January 1572. The fact that the Stones of this period did not marry into families within their immediate parish and allied themselves with houses of neighboring counties indicates that they were by no means a provincial family but visited and traveled in other parts of the Kingdom. Stone Family 3 Richard Stone established his seat in the Parish of Croston, Lan­ cashire, which lay in the western portion of the county and where other members of the Stone family had been seated since a date prior to 1544 From the Visitation of London we obtain a complete list of his children. Children of Richard and Isabel (Girdler) Stone 1. John Stone. 2. Robert Stone. 3- Henry Stone. 4- Thomas Stone, Merchant, married Elizabeth Lufkyn. 5. Matthew Stone. 6. Andrew Stone, Merchant, of London, married Katherine Eudood. Issue : Thomas and Andrew. The following are the Stone (Stones) entries found in the register of the Parish of Croston, Lancashire.

Sept., 16,48. Thomas Forrest married Jennet Stones, Dec. 26, 1629. Robert Stones married Elizabeth Moore, Oct. 30, 1631. Robert Stone, of Mawdsley, buried June 4, 1649. JOHN AND MATTHEW STONE, OF HOOLE John Stone, son of Richard and Isabel (Girdler) Stone, was born about the year r575 presumably in the Parish of Croston, Lancashire, yet his baptism is not recorded in the parish register. The parish is about six and one-half miles southwest of the town of Preston and originally consisted of the townships of Croston, Chorley, Hoole, Rufford, Tarle­ ton, Hesketh, Becconsall, Bispham, Bretheren, Mawdsley, and Ulnes Walton. The parish church dates from the twelfth century. In 1633 according to Baines' History of Lancaster, John Stone, of Carr House in the Parish of Much Hoole was a benefactor to the church. The town­ ship of Hoole, however, was separated from the mother parish in r641 and became an independent unit. According to tradition, this John Stone, son of Richard, was the father of Governor Stone, of Maryland. It is manifestedly admitted, however, that it has been difficult to establish the parents of the Governor with the sources available on this side of the Atlantic. No facts have been un­ earthed to prove this tradition, but it is known and established that Governor William Stone was the nephew of Thomas Stone, Merchant, of London, and there£ ore he was a grandson of Richard Stone, of Croston.

  • Î Thomas Stone National Historic Site La
    THST-ôôî, ¿2 cte^ß; íj èf y«-/:?//3 25 IS î i THOMAS STONE NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE LA PLATA, MARYLAND Summary Report of Additional Research Findings Submitted by John Milner Architects, Inc. Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania in consultation with J. Richard Rivoire La Plata, Maryland February, 1993 INTRODUCTION This report summarizes the results of a research project initiated in June 1992 and concluded in January 1993. The purpose of this research was to supplement the existing Historic Structures Report (1987) and the Historic Resource Study (1988) with additional historical and architectural documentation to provide as firm a foundation as possible for development of the Cultural Landscape Study and Strategic Plan for the Thomas Stone National Historic Site. The Scope of Work for this project called for additional documentary research on the following topics and sub-topics: A. History and use of the land comprising the Thomas Stone Site during its period of ownership by the Stone family, including land history, agricultural use, slaves and tenants, and identification of former agricultural and ancillary domestic support buildings and related features. B. History and evolution of the main house, including the house in a local architectural context, local and regional architectural precedents, identification of builders and craftsmen, materials relating to the building's architecture and use, biographical data on descending owners/occupants, 1770-1936, the history of furnishings and room usage during the Stone family's ownership, and additional photographic documentation. Due to budgetary and scheduling considerations, this research was limited to investigation of documentary materials in various archival collections in Maryland and Washington, D.C., principally those of the Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore, the Maryland State Archives-Hall of Records, Annapolis, the Charles County Courthouse and the Southern Maryland Studies Center, both La Plata, and the Library of Congress.

No. COPY A. Copyripfht 1903. by John ^Montc^omery Gambrill PREFACE It is very much the fashion now-a-days to write a preface to a text-book that is really an apology for its appearance. If not an apology, at least I am willing to offer an explanation for the writing of this little book. Several histories of Maryland have been published since the Civil War for the alleged purpose of furnishing a text for schools. It cannot be denied that these books have not been altogether reliable historically, and none of them can be said to contain the features of the best modern texts in history, nor to be pedagogically adapted to the uses of the schoolroom. A word on each of these phases of the subject seems necessary. The material used in the preparation of this book includes, it is believed, the principal matter in print relating to the subjects treated, and embraces contemporary v^/^ritings, letters, commis- sions, warrants, newspapers, etc., and the printed state archives; in addition the manuscript sources have been used. The results of exhaustive original research are not embodied in elementary text-books, and while this work is not put forthwith such preten- sions it is hoped that it may justly claim to be much more than the lifeless compilations that so often masquerade as state his- tories (for schools).

  • The Stone Family of England, Virginia, and Maryland
    THE STONE FAMILY OF ENGLAND, VIRGINIA, AND MARYLAND (PART ONE) ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS OF GOVERNOR WILLIAM STONE OF MARYLAND BY JACK E. MACDONALD POWELL, WYOMING 2018 ii Powell, Wyoming iii STATUS LAST UPDATED: 1 March 2018 Seven Generations Shown (Approximately 95 Pages) Compiled By: Jack E. MacDonald Road 9 Powell, Wyoming [email protected] Bound copies of this genealogy are available for the cost of printing and postage if anyone is interested. REFERENCES & INDEX A listing of references and their source, as well as an all-name index, are provided at the end of this genealogy. INTRODUCTION For over 130 years, beginning with my great-grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Stone, down through his son, Robert K. Stone, and including approximately forty years of my own personal research, every attempt has been made to compile a comprehensive genealogy of our Stone family. When I first started doing genealogical research in the late 1970's, my goal was to take all of my pedigree families from where one of my direct-line ancestors tied into a particular family, and then trace that family back as far as possible in time. Because I remember my grandmother, Ruth Melissa Stone, telling me that she had always heard that her family was somehow related to that of Gov. William Stone of Maryland, as well as to the Thomas Stone who signed the Declaration of Independence, I, and many others, spent countless hours of research over the years trying to connect the two families. Unfortunately, every attempt to trace my grandmother’s Stone family back to Gov.

    ST. MARY’S FEMALE SEMINARY-JUNIOR COLLEGE ALUMNI 1846-1940 St. Mary’s City, Maryland P1915_1910sps_038 – From the 1910s Photo Scrapbook (MSS 019) Founded as St. Mary’s Female Seminary in 1840 and funded by way of lottery, the cornerstone for Calvert Hall was laid in 1844, the Board of Trustees was organized in 1845, and classes began in 1846. In 1928 two years of Junior College were added to the school, and for a time, the school graduated both high school and junior college classes, with the last high school class graduating in 1960. The name was changed to St. Mary’s College of Maryland in 1964 and converted to a four-year college beginning in 1969. Male students sometimes attended as “day hops,” but did not stay on campus until 1965. This St. Mary’s Female Seminary-Junior College Alumni Directory, 1846-1940, is an ongoing project to assist researchers and genealogists. This list includes all known individuals who attended St. Mary’s Seminary and St. Mary’s Junior College, and is not limited to graduates. After a fire burned Calvert Hall in 1924, many records were lost and this list is, by no means, complete, and is a perpetual work in progress. Information has been gathered from additional resources within the St. Mary’s College of Maryland archive, such as graduation programs, the 1925 yearbook, student record files, index cards kept by the Office of Advancement, the published alumni directory, and the minutes of the first Alumnae Association. Please contact Kent Randell, College Archivist, at [email protected] or 240-895-4196 if you have any additional information to contribute to this list A special thank you goes out to volunteers Linda Reno and Samantha Magli, who have volunteered their time to assist in updating this directory.
