PREFACE. 

IN  1890  my  uncle,  S.  D.  Lewis  of  Warsaw,  N.  Y., 
prepared  and  published  a  genealogy  of  my  mother's 
family,  entitled  "Book  XVIII  Lewis  Family  Geneal- 
ogy." From  reading  that  book,  I  discovered  that  I 
knew  very  little  about  my  own  family  ancestry,  and  as 
my  mother  was  alive  at  that  time,  I  commenced  mak- 
ing inquiries  of  her  and  my  aunt,  Lois  (Stone)  Tilton, 
they  being  the  oldest  persons  then  alive  in  our  family. 
I  found  that  they  knew  very  little  in  regard  to  the 
family  history.  I  determined  then  that  I  would  give 
the  matter  what  study  I  could  (which  has  been  at  odd 
tinaes  and  evenings,  as  I  am  a  busy  man  with  very  lit- 
tle time  that  I  can  call  my  own).  However,  the  study 
instead  of  being  an  irksome  task,  has  proven  to  be  a 
pleasant  pastime.  And  while  I  had  no  idea  at  first  of 
publishing  the  work  in  book  form,  from  being  urged 
by  friends  and  relatives  of  the  family  who  offered  to 
contribute  towards  the  expense,  I  have  done  so. 

In  preparing  this  genealogy  for  the  family  (as  it  is 
of  very  little  interest  to  any  one  not  a  member  of  the 
family),  I  have  entered  upon  the  task  with  a  sincere 
desire  to  avoid  doing  injustice  to  any  one,  whether  a 
member  of  the  family  or  otherwise. 

There  must  be  many  errors  in  a  work  of  this  kind, 
but  when  I  have  received  dates  of  births,  deaths,  etc., 
of  the  same  family  by  different  persons,  and  they  have 
disagreed,  I  have  written  some  member  of  the  family 
to  correct  them.     So  if  you  find  errors,  do  not  charge 


them  all  to  me  or  the  publisher,  as  I  have  had  to  rely 
entirely  on  the  written  data  sent  me  by  you. 

There  are  many  members  of  the  family  who  are 
not  alluded  to  any  further  than  to  give  date  of  birth, 
marriage  and  death,  and  who  I  am  confident  deserve 
special  mention. 

I  would  have  more  hope  of  satisfying  the  family, 
if  I  could  have  allowed  myself  more  time.  I  have  used 
my  best  efforts,  with  the  aid  of  numerous  persons  to 
verify  from  the  records  every  statement  of  fact  given. 

The  matter  for  the  biographies  has  been  furnished 
me  by  members  of  the  family,  which  in  some  instances 
have  taken  considerable  travel  and  work  to  procure ; 
in  writing  the  biographical  sketches,  there  has  been 
no  effort  made  at  coloring,  but  to  give  a  brief  sketch 
that  would  enable  the  reader  to  form  a  correct  idea  of 
the  individual;  neither  has  there  been  any  effort  made 
to  connect  the  family  by  side-lines  or  otherwise  to 
families  that  are  eminently  wealthy  or  have  gained 
high  positions  in  any  of  the  walks  of  life;  but  to  give 
a  simple  statement  of  facts,  such  as  dates  of  birth, 
marriage  and  death,  with  a  short  biography  of  each 
head  of  the  family. 

In  a  great  many  instances  our  family  can  be  con- 
nected with  the  families  of  noted  men,  such  as :  Adams, 
Webster,  Thomas  Hooker,  Grant,  Arthur  and  a  host 
of  others.  So,  also,  can  any  New  England  family  of 
the  Puritan  stock  connect  itself  by  side  lines  to  these 
families,  or  any  other  families  that  came  to  New  Eng- 
land in  an  early  day. 

A  life  of  peace  and  prosperity  furnishes  but  little 
matter  for  a  chronicle.  Such,  with  few  exceptions, 
have  been  the  lives  of  our  family. 

This  work  has  been  prepared  solely  for  the  Stone 
family  and  its  descendants;  and  if  a  stranger  or  per- 


son  not  a  member  of  the  family,  should  chance  to 
peruse  its  pages,  we  trust  you  will  not  criticise  it 
although  you  may  be  amused  at  the  simplicity  of  the 
lives  of  some  of  its  members.  Remember  that  you  are 
reading  a  family  record  that  is  sacred  to  some  one. 

In  preparing  this  work  for  publication,  I  have  re- 
ceived valuable  assistance  from  a  great  many  mem- 
bers of  the  family  who  have  furnished  me  the  data 
from  which  the  genealogy  has  been  prepared ;  to  all 
of  whom  I  here  return  my  thanks. 

My  thanks  are  also  due  to  many  gentlemen  who 
have  facilitated  the  collection  of  material,  for  the 
biographies;  and  especially  to  Col.  Wm.  L.  Stone  of 
Mt.  Vernon,  N.  Y.,  who  has  kindly  and  freely  given 
me  the  use  of  his  "Genealogy  of  The  Stone  Family,'" 
from  which  the  second  and  third  chapter  of  this  work 
are  almost  entirely  taken.  I  would  also  state  that 
this  book  is  the  same  size  of  type  and  page  (printed 
matter)  as  Col.  Stone's  Genealogy.  I  have  therefore 
entitled  this  volume  "Book  II  of  The  Family  of  John 
Stone,  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  Guilford,  Conn." 

The  historical  events  briefly  related  in  Chapter  I, 
are  so  closely  identified  with  the  early  history  of  our 
family,  that  I  deemed  it  essential  to  concisely  relate 
an  account  of  the  most  important  occurrences  of  this 
region.  I  gladly  refer  the  interested  reader  to  "Smith's 
History  of  Guilford"  for  a  more  extended  account,  as 
it  is  to  this  work  I  am  indebted  for  most  of  the  data 
for  the  first  chapter.  I  am  also  indebted  to  Wm.  Leete 
Stone,  Judge  Post,  "Wm.  G.  Andrews,  D.  D.,  of  Guil- 
ford, Conn.,  and  others  for  valuable  information  to 
whom  I  desire  to  express  my  thanks. 

Finally,  I  would  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  this 
book  contains  the  names  of  all  the  descendants  of  Rus- 
sell, Bille,  Timothy  and  Eber  down  to  189G. 


Echvard  Burk  has  well  said:  "Those  who  do  not 
cherish  the  memory  of  their  ancestors,  do  not  deserve 
to  be  remembered  by  posterity."

P.  S. 

Since  writing  the  above,  the  genealogy  has  met 
with  hard  luck ;  after  most  of  the  book  was  published 
and  in  readiness  for  the  binder,  fire  broke  out  in  the 
building  in  which  the  work  was  being  done,  and 
destroyed  not  only  the  printed  matter  but  most  of  MS. 
However,  with  what  was  saved  from  the  fire,  together 
with  proof  sheets  and  memoranda  that  I  had  at  my 
command,  I  have  been  enabled  to  reproduce  the  book 
in  some  respects  in  better  form  than  the  first  copy. 

The  fates  seem  to  have  been  against  the  little  book 
since  it  got  into  the  printers'  hands,  as  the  delays 
have  been  many  and  of  long  duration.

Chapter  I. 

Guilford  is  a  village  of  about  three  thousand 
inhabitants,  located  on  Long  Island  Sound,  about 
twenty  miles  east  of  New  Haven,  in  the  State  of 
Connecticut. 

It  was  settled  in  1039  by  a  company  of  Puritans 
from  Surrey,  and  Kent  County,  England,  under  the 
leadership  of  the  Rev.  Henry  Whitfield.  The  original 
town  included  the  present  towns  of  Madison  and 
Guilford,  stretched  along  the  shore  of  Long  Island 
Sound,  from  Branford  to  Killingworth,  a  distance  on 
a  straight  line  of  nine  or  ten  miles,  and  extending 
back  from  the  Sound  about  the  same  distance;  the 
whole  original  town,  like  others  in  the  vicinity  and 
country,  was  originally  inhabited  by  Indians,  who 
called  it,  or  at  least  the  western  part  of  it,  Menunka- 
tuck ;  they  were  numerous  on  the  great  plain  south  of 
Guilford  borough,  as  appears  from  the  vast  amount  of 
shells  brought  upon  it,  and  which  are  mouldering 
there  to  this  day. 

The  part  of  the  township,  which  embraces  nearly

all  of  the  present  town  of  Guilford,  was  purchased  of 
the  sachem-squaw  of  ilenunkatuck,  Shaumpishuh 
[the  Indian  inhabitants  consenting]  September  29, 
I'joO,  by  Henry  Whitfield,  Robert  Kitchell,  William 
Leete  (afterwards  Governor  Leete)  William  Chitten- 
den, John  Bishop  and  John  Caffinge,  in  behalf  of 
themselves  and  others  who  had  come  out  to  New 
Haven  the  same  year  and  who  were  now  resolved  to 
make  a  settlement  at  this  place.  At  the  time  of  the 
purchase  it  was  understood  and  agreed  that  the  deed 
should  remain  in  the  hands  of  the  planters  until  a 
church  should  be  organized  in  the  town,  to  whom  it 
should  be  given,  and  imder  whose  superintendence 
the  lands  should  be  divided  out,  to  those  who  were 
interested  in  them.  The  articles  given  for  this  tract 
^vere  twelve  coats,  twelve  fathoms  of  wampum,  twelve 
glasses,  twelve  pairs  of  shoes,  twelve  hatchets,  twelve 
pairs  of  stockings,  twelve  hoes,  four  kettles,  twelve 
knives,  twelve  hats,  twelve  porringers,  twelve  spoons, 
and  two  English  coats. 

The  English  settlement  commenced  immediately 
after  this  purchase,  on  the  groimds  now  included  in 
Guilford  borough,  the  plain,  and  some  lands  near  the 
Sound,  having  been  cleared  by  the  Indians,  and 
prepared  for  cultivation. 

Mr.  Whitfield  was  desirous  of  extending  the  plan- 
tation (as  they  called  it)  and  it  was  through  him  that 
other  purchases  of  land  were  made  from  the  Indians, 
a  part  of  which  was  purchased  from  Uncas,  who 
probably  claimed  the  land  in  virtue  of  the  conquest  of 
the  Pequoids,  in  which  he  assisted. 

The  first  settlers  of  this  town  came  from  Surrey 
and  Kent,  near  London.  England,  and  were  mostly 
farmers.  They  had  not  a  merchant  among  them  and 
scarcely  a  mechanic,  so  it  was  at  great  trouble  and

expense  that  they  procured  a  bhicksmith  on  theii 
plantation. 

They  called  the  town  Guilford  in  lemembrance  of 
Guilford,  a  borough  town,  the  capital  of  Surrey, 
where  many  of  them  had  lived. 

About  forty  planters  came  into  the  town  in  1(::)0. 
There  were  forty-eight  in  1650,  which  undoubtedly 
included  the  original  forty. 

The  Rev.  Henry  "Whitfield,  ■\Villiain  Leete,  John 
Stone,  John's  brother,  "William,  and  at  least  twent}'- 
one  others,  some  with  families,  others  with  none;  set 
sail  from  London,  England,  on  May  -^Oth,  1630,  for  the 
New  "World.  They  styled  themselves  the  Guilford 
Company,  and  on  the  first  day  of  June,  1630,  while  on 
shipboard,  the  little  band  signed  a  plantation  cove- 
nant in  which  they  expressed  a  purpose  to  settle  near 
Quinnipiack  (New  Haven).  The  covenant  signed 
reads  as  follows: 

COVEXAXT. 

"We,  whose  names  are  hereunder  written,  intend- 
ing by  God's  gracious  permission  to  plant  ourselves 
in  Xew  England,  and,  if  it  may  be,  in  the  southerly 
part,  about  Quinnipiack:  We  do  faithfully  promise 
each  to  each  for  ourselves  and  families  and  those 
that  belong  to  us;  that  we  will,  the  Lord  assisting  us, 
sit  down  and  join  oui-selves  together  in  one  intire 
plantation;  and  to  be  helpful  each  to  the  other  in 
every  common  work,  a,ccording  to  every  man's  ability 
and  as  need  shall  require;  and  we  promise  not  to 
desert  or  leave  each  other  or  the  plantation,  but  with 
the  consent  of  the  rest,  or  the  greater  part  of  the 
company  who  have  entered  into  this  engagement. 

As  for  our  gathering  together  in  a  church  way,  and

together  in  that  way,  we  do  refer  ourselves  until  such 
time  as  it  shall  please  God  to  settle  us  in  our  plantation.

entered  Xew  Haven  harbor,  their  ships  (for  they  had

landing  at  New  Haven  measures  were  immediately 
taken  to  find  a  suitable  location  for  the  Company,  and 
after  careful  examination  they  soon  decided  upon 
"Menunkatuck,"  to  which  they  subsequently  gave  the 
name  of  Guilford,  and  before  whiter,  had  built  their 
houses  and  moved  into  them,  among  which  was  the 
noted  stone  house  of  Henry  Whitfield,  which  is  said 
to  be  the  oldest  house  in  Connecticut.  It  was  built  in 
1630.  "Palfrey's  History  of  New  England"  says,  "it 
was  erected  both  for  the  accommodation  of  his  family, 
and  as  a  fortification,  for  the  protection  of  the  inhab- 
itants against  the  Indians."  This  house  was  kept  in 
this  original  form  until  1^08  when  it  underwent  such

renovation  as  changed  its  appearance  and  internal 
arrangements  to  a  great  extent,  although  the  north 
wall  and  large  stone  chimney  are  suhstantially  the 
same  as  they  have  heen  for  over  two-hundred-fifty 
years.  The  walls  are  of  stone  from  a  ledge  eighty 
rods  distant  to  the  east,  and  were  probably  brought 
on  hand-barrows  across  a  swamp,  over  a  rude  cause- 
way which  is  still  to  be  traced;  a  small  addition  has 
been  made  to  the  back  of  the  house  in  modern  times, 
but  there  is  no  question  that  the  main  building 
remains  in  its  original  state,  even  to  the  oak  of  the 
beams,  floors,  doors,  and  window  frames.  The  height 
of  the  first  story  is  seven  feet,  and  eight  inches,  the 
second  story,  six  feet  nine  inches.  The  house  occu- 
pies a  rising  ground  overlooking  the  great  plain  south 
of  the  village,  and  commanding  a  very  fine  prospect 
of  the  Sound.  It  is  said  the  first  marriage  was  cele- 
brated in  it — the  wedding  table  being  garnished  with 
the  substantial  luxuries  of  pork  and  peas.  This  house, 
and  the  farm  in  connection  with  it  is  now  owned  by 
Mrs.  S.  B.  Cone  of  Stockbridge. 

On  the  opposite  side  of  the  street  (Whitfield 
Street)  and  nearer  the  village  green,  was  the  allotment 
of  John  Stone.  How  long  he  owned  this  place  is 
uncertain  but  Rev.  Joseph  Eliot  purchased  the  place 
in  1G64,  and  his  descendants  own  the  place  to  this 
day,  except  a  lot  that  was  sold  off  and  was  the  home 
of  the  late  Dr.  Talcott.  The  places  where  most  of  the 
original  settlers  located  themselves  are  now  known. 
The  road  through  Guilford  was,  before  railroads, 
much  used  by  travelers  from  New  York  and  Boston. 
The  N.  Y.  N.  H.  &  H.  Shore  line  now  runs  trains 
through  this  place  to  New  York  and  Boston  almost 
every  hour.  The  first  society  was  famous  for  raising 
corn,  it  was  said  as  much  as  a  hundred  bushels  of  ears

had  been  raised  on  an  acre,  but  that  forty  bushels  was 
a  fair  yield. 

Menunkatuck  or  "West  RiYer,  which  runs  by  the 
place  of  Caleb  Sfnne  (now  owned  by  his  descendant 
William  Leete  Stone)  rises  in  Quonepaug  pond,  in 
North  Guilford,  and  empties  into  Guilford  harbor. 

Thomas  Chittenden,  the  first  Governor  of  Ver- 
mont, was  a  native  of  this  town.  Fitz-Green  Halleck, 
the  poet,  was  born  in  Guilford,  he  was  the  first  Ameri- 
can poet  to  whom  was  awarded  the  honor  of  a  bronze 
statue  in  a  public  place.  It  occupies  a  prominent 
position  in  Central  Park,  New  York. 

George  Hill,  the  poet,  was  born  in  Guilford. 

"Meanwhile  a  younger  race,  a  different  age, 
Has  risen  up  to  occupy  the  stage, 
Yet  oft  I  think  of  Guilford,  with  delight, 
.\nd  feel  full  halfway  there,  while  this  I  write." 

—Halleck. 

The  people  of  Guilford  in  September,  ISSO,  held 
a  celebration  commemorating  the  establishment  in 
10:)0  of  the  plantation  of  Menunkatuck  (now  repre- 
sented by  the  towns  of  Guilford  and  Madison),  it  being 
the  two-hundreth-fiftieth  anniversary.  The  exercises 
Sunday,  September  Sth,  consisted  of  sermons  preached 
in  the  churches  of  Guilford  and  Madison  (once  East 
Guilford).  At  2:30  p.  m..  Rev.  C.  L.  Kitchell  of  New 
Haven,  Conn.,  "who  is  a  descendant  of  Robert  Kit- 
chell, 1639,"  preached  a  historical  sermon  in  the  First 
Congregational  Church  at  Guilford  from  which  the 
following  is  an  extract : 


MEMORANDA. 


FROM  A  HISTORICAL  SERMON. 


Rev.  Cornelius  L.  Kitchell  of  New  Haven. 

By  faith  Abraham,  when  he  was  called,  obeyed  to  go  out  into  a 
place  which  he  \Yas  to  receive  for  an  inheritance:  and  he  went  out 
not  knowing  whither  he  went. — Hebrews  xi:  S. 

Just  how  the  call  came  to  Abraham  we  do  not 
know.  But  while  he  VN-as  living  in  Ur  of  the  Chaldees, 
God,  in  some  way,  spake  to  him,  and  said:  "Get  thee 
out  from  thy  country  and  from  thy  kindred  and  from 
thy  father's  house  unto  a  land  that  I  will  show  thee." 

To  this  divine  mandate  Abraham  was  not  disobe- 
dient. The  home  of  his  childhood,  the  home  of  his 
fathers  was  dear  to  him,  but  there  he  could  not  worship 
as  he  would  the  one  holy  and  living  God.  Far  to  the 
west,  across  the  deserts,  was  a  land  where,  unmo- 
lested, he  and  his  children  could  follow  the  dictates  of 
their  finer  spiritual  instinct.  The  thought  of  that 
country  whispered  to  his  soul  in  divine  accents.  It 
would  not  let  him  rest.  God  called  him.  A  divine 
promise,  large  and  sure,  beckoned  him.  And  so,  with 
a  chosen  company,  he  set  out  not  knowing  whither  he 
went,  knowing  only  that  the  God  who  called  him 
would  lead  him  and  give  him  an  inheritance  in  the 
land  of  promise. 

Since  Abraham's  day  many  children  of  his,  in

little  company  %vhose  history  we  are  to  trace  today. 
Two  hundred  and  fifty  years  ago  our  ancestors  who 
settled  this  town  were  living,  most  of  them,  in  Surrey 
and  Kent,  those  southern  counties  which  are  called, 
for  their  richness  and  beauty,  the  garden  of  England. 
It  was  a  time  of  ease  and  of  peace  in  temporal  things. 
They  were  comfortably  provided  with  this  world's 
goods  for  their  station,  surrounded  with  relatives  and 
friends,  proud  and  fond  of  England,  their  native  land ; 
but  a  tyrannical  king  and  a  bigoted  prelate  forced 
upon  them  the  superstitious  observances,  as  it  seemed 
to  them,  of  that  Roman  church  from  which  they  had 
hoped  they  were  free.  They  could  not  conscientiously 
conform  thereto.  If  they  did  not,  fines,  persecutions, 
imprisonments,  exiles,  were  inflicted  upon  them. 
They  heard  of  a  New  England  across  the  sea,  where 
others  who  sympathized  with  them  had  fled  and  found, 
as  yet,  freedom  to  worship  God.  Just  as  surely  as 
Canaan  was  a  land  of  promise  to  Abraham,  New  Eng- 
land was  to  our  forefathers.  God  said  to  them  just  as 
clearly  as  he  did  to  the  ancient  patriarch:  "Get  thee 
out  from  your  country  and  from  your  kindred  and 
from  your  father's  house."  By  faith,  obeying  that 
call,  they  went  out,  a  little  company,  bidding  good- 
bye to  friends  and  native  land,  in  frail  and  diminutive 
vessels,  across  the  perilous  sea,  into  the  uncultivated 
wilderness,  destitute  of  habitation,  haunted  by  sav- 
ages, out  beyond  the  older  settlements,  that  without 
peradventure  they  might  be  beyond  the  reach  of  the 
tyrant's  arm,  and  there  in  the  wisdom  of  the  Scrip- 
tures and  of  common  sense,  in  the  fear  of  God,  they 
laid  unique  foundations  of  a  free  Commonwealth  and 
a  free  Church,  from  which,  and  others  like  them,  as 
the  centuries  rolled  on  has  developed  the  great  nation 
in  which  we  dwell.     The  land  to  which  they  were

called  they  did  afterward  inherit.  The  text  thus  sug- 
gests the  two-fold  aspect,  namely,  the  Going  out  in 
Faith  and  the  Inheriting  the  Laud,  under  which  we 
may  include  the  origin  and  the  development  of  the 
Church  of  Christ  here. 

first:  going  out  in  faith. 

Sometime  in  September,  1030  (0.  S.),  certain  plan- 
ters of  this  colony,  seeking  a  habitation,  came  to 
Meuunkatuck,  as  the  region  was  called.  Pleased  with 
what  they  found,  on  the  59th  of  September,  articles  of 
agreement  were  signed  by  six  of  them  representing 
the  whole  colony,  and  the  sachem-squaw  who  claimed 
ownership.  In  consideration  of  smidry  coats,  fathoms 
of  wampum,  glasses,  shoes,  hatchets,  etc.,  "the  said 
sachem-squaw  did  sell  to  the  aforesaid  English  plant- 
ers all  the  land  within  the  limits  of  Ruttawoo  (East 
River)  and  Agicomick  river  (Stony  Creek),"  the 
present  limits  of  Guilford.  Immediately  after  this 
purchase,  before  winter  probably,  the  whole  company 
came  over  from  New  Haven  where  they  had  disem- 
barked the  June  preceding,  and  took  possession  .of 
lands  near  the  Sound,  "especially  the  great  plain  south 
of  the  town,"  which  the  historian  tells  us  had  been 
"already  cleared  and  enriched  by  the  natives."  While 
the  little  community  is  getting  itself  into  shape,  let 
us  ask  who  they  are  and  how  they  have  been  led  here. 

First  of  all,  we  need  to  note  that  they  are  but  a 
little  baud  of  a  vast  company.  It  has  been  computed 
that  between  the  years  1G30  and  1040  more  than  20,000 
persons  arrived  in  New  England  from  the  mother 
country.  It  was  the  time  of  Charles  the  first  and  his 
Archbishop  Laud,  the  time  of  the  Star  Chamber  and 
High  Commissions.      Many  of  the  most  active   and

most  Godly  ministers  of  the  Church  of  England  with 
their  congregations,  though  they  loved  their  "dear 
mother  Church,"  as  they  did  not  cease  to  call  her, 
could  not  conform  to  the  superstitious  ceremonies 
arbitrarily  prescribed,  and  as  non-conformists,  fled  to 
Ne%%"  England. 

One  such  minister  was  Henry  Whitfield,  of  Ockley 
in  Surrey,  who  became  the  leader  and  pastor  of  the 
company  which  settled  in  Guilford.  Cotton  Mather, 
in  his  Magnalia.  tells  of  him  that  he  was  educated  to 
be  a  lawyer,  "first  at  the  University  and  then  at  the 
Inns  of  Court.  But  the  gracious  and  early  operation 
of  the  Holy  Spirit  on  his  heart  inclined  him  rather  to 
be  a  preacher  of  the  Gospel."  For  twenty  years  he 
was  a  conformist,  but  as  the  result  of  an  interview 
with  Rr-v.  John  Cotton  (afterward  pastor  at  Boston) 
and  R^z-v.  John  Davenport  (afterward  pastor  at  Xew 
Haven)  both  of  whom  for  their  non-conformity  were 
later  compelled  to  fly,  first  to  Holland  and  thence  to 
New  England,  "Whitfield  embraced  a  modest  seces- 
sion." as  Cotton  Mather  phrases  it.  Summoned  once 
and  again  before  the  archbishop's  court,  and  becoming 
liable  to  censure,  no  longer  able  "to  proceed  in  the 
public  exercise  of  his  ministry,"  he  resigned  his  rich 
living,  sold  his  personal  estate  and  became  the  leader 
of  these  Surrey  and  Kent  farmers.  They  knew  his 
piety  and  his  ability  from  missionary  w-ork  he  had 
done  among  them,  and  "felt  they  could  not  do  without 
his  ministry."  Like  him,  too,  they  considered  affairs 
at  home  were  hopeless,  and  duty  called  them  to  lay 
new  foundations  for  Christ's  kingdom  beyond  the  sea. 

Two  other  men  of  this  little  colony  we  need  to 
note.  One  of  them,  William  Leete,  was  afterward 
magistrate  here  in  Guilford,  then  Governor  of  New 
Haven  Colony,  later  deputy  Governor  of  the   United 


MEMORANDA. 


GENEALOGY    OF   THE    STONE   FAMILY.  '^l 

Colony  of  Connecticut,  and  later  still  for  several  years 
Governor  of  Connecticut,  by  annual  election  till  he 
died.  The  decided  and  excellent  quality  of  this  man 
appeared  early.  He  is  the  only  member  of  this  little 
colony  except  Mr.  Whitfield  whose  experience  in  Eng- 
land, Cotton  Mather  tells  us  of. 

The  other  notable  person  was  Samuel  Desborough, 
whose  brother  married  the  sister  of  Oliver  Cromwell, 
and  who  in  later  years  under  the  Lord  Protector  was 
Keeper  of  the  Great  Seal  of  Scotland,  training  for 
which  high  office  he  had  in  being  one  of  the  seven 
pillars  of  the  church  and  magistrate  here  in  Guilford, 
before  yet  he  returnea  to  England. 

Around  these  men  as  leaders  gathered  the  sturdy 
farmers  of  Kent  and  Surrey,  young  men,  most  of 
them,  we  are  told,  forty  planters  in  all,  and  embark- 
ing from  London  in  May,  lOoO,  in  two  vessels  proba- 
bly, began  their  long  voyage  of  forty-nine  days  across 
the  Atlantic. 

Now  in  regard  to  this  company,  note  that  while 
they  were  not  organized  as  a  church,  yet  they  were 
distinctively  a  religious  community,  whose  leader 
was  their  pastor  and  whose  "Design  was  Religion." 
Their  main  object  was  not  adventure,  nor  trade,  nor 
the  improvement  of  their  personal  estates.  They 
were  indeed  of  that  great  race  in  whose  blood  has 
ever  been  a  readiness  to  brave  danger,  and  I  do  not 
deny  that  they  were  sagacious  and  thrifty  men  bound 
to  do  as  best  they  could  for  their  families  and  estates, 
but  first  of  all  they  did  seek  the  Kingdom  of  God  and 
His  righteousness.  Listen  to  what  they  declare  four 
years  later  when  they  were  about  to  form  their  civil 
government:  --The  mayne  ends  which  were  pro- 
pounded to  ourselves  in  our  coming  hither  and  settling 
down  together  are.  that  we  may  settle  and  uphold  the

ordinances  of  God  in  an  explicit  Congrega- 
tional Church  way  \vith  most  purity,  peace  liberty 
for  the  benefit  both  of  ourselves  and  posterity 
after  us." 

They  landed  at  Xew  Haven  probably  toward  the 
end  of  June.  Sometime  before  the  ^Oth  of  September, 
they  held  their  first  meeting  of  which  we  have  any 
record,  in  Mr.  Newman's  barn  in  New  Haven,  and 
agreed  that  the  lands  called  Menunkatuck  should  be 
purchased  for  them  and  their  heirs,  "the  deed-writ- 
ings there  about  to  be  made  and  drawn  in  the  name  of 
these  six  planters  in  our  steads,  viz. :  Henry  Whitfield, 
Robert  Kitchell,  William  Leete,  William  Chittenden, 
John  Bishop,  and  John  Caflinge." 

These  six  planters  as  directed,  purchased  the  laud, 
and  the  little  colony  of  about  two  hundred  souls  we 
may  suppose,  as  has  been  before  narrated,  came  over 
from  New  Haven  before  winter  and  the  history  of  this 
community  began. 

And  now  for  nearly  four  j'ears,  until  June  19th, 
1643,  when  the  church  was  first  formally  instituted, 
but  little  is  recorded.  That  they  nourished  a  vigorous 
religious  and  devotional  life  in  all  this  period  of  patient 
waiting,  as  we  should  otherwise  suppose  is  indicated 
also  by  the  fact  that  midway  in  it,  in  1014,  the  Rev. 
John  Higginson  was  called  as  "teacher"  to  assist  Mr. 
Whitfield,  the  pastor,  in  his  work.  Why  they  did  not 
organize  a  church  at  once,  we  can  only  conjecture. 
Most  likely  they  felt  less  need  of  such  organization, 
because  they  were,  as  it  were,  a  church  already.  Not 
only  was  Mr.  Whitfield,  their  leader,  a  regular  clergy- 
man whose  ordination  they  accepted  and  never  had 
repeated  (as  was  done  in  the  case  of  Mr.  Davenport  at 
New  Haven  and  others),  but  many  of  them  had 
enjoyed  his  ministrations  in  their  former  homes,   and 


MEMORANDA.

one  of  them,  'Sir.  Thomas  Xorton,  had  been  warden 
of  Mr.  Whitfield's  churcdi  at  Ockley. 

That  they  kept  the  formation  of  a  church  steadily 
in  view  is  evident  from  this  record  of  an  agreement 
made  at  a  meeting  of  the  planters  held  February  2d, 
104:-2,  at  a  time  when  the  need  of  some  more  explicit 
kind  of  civil  government  appears  first  to  have  found 
expression:  "It  is  agreed  that  the  civil  pov^-er  of 
administration  of  jusiice  and  preservation  of  peace 
shall  remain  in  the  hands  of  Robert  Kitchel,  AVilliam 
Chittenden,  John  Bishop  and  William  Leete,  formerly 
chosen  for  that  work,  until  some  may  be  chosen  out  of 
fhe  clnirrh  that  shnf!  !„■  .jafher^d  h^re." 

How  long  tlii<  inderniinate  condition  of  Church 
and  State  would  have  continued,  had  not  some  impulse 
come  from  without,  it  would  be  difficult  to  say.  Such 
an  impulse,  however,  did  come  in  the  spring  of  1G43, 
at  which  time  it  became  necessary,  owing  to  the 
breach  then  existing  between  King  and  Parliament, 
for  the  colony  here  to  combine  with  New  Haven  and 
the  other  New  England  colonies  for  the  sake  of  secur- 
ity. But  in  order  to  do  this,  it  was  necessary  that 
Guilford  should  adopt  some  definite  civil  constitution 
and  form  of  government,  and  as  in  their  idea,  the 
civil  government  was  to  be  the  creature  of  the  church, 
the  church  itself  must  be  first  definitely  organized  that 
it  might,  in  turn,  call  the  civil  body  into  existence. 

Accordingly  on  June  lOth,  164:3,  the  first  step  was 
taken  by  choosing  seven  men  to  be  the  "seven  pillars." 
These  seven  pillars  were  the  pastor,  Henry  Whit- 
field, his  assistant  and  son-in-law  John  Higginson, 
Samuel  Desborough,  William  Leete,  Jacob  Sheaffe, 
John  Mipham  and  John  Hoadley.  This  v>-as  in  accord- 
ance with  the  method  pursued  in  New  Haven  four 
years  before,  at  the  suo-gestion  of  Rev.   John   Daven-

port,  tlie  pastor  tliere,  who  derived  this  method  of 
ecclesiastical  organization  from  the  text:  "Wisdom 
hath  builded  her  house,  she  hath  hewn  out  her  seven 
pillars."  Tliis  may  seem  to  us  rather  heroic  hom- 
iletis,  but  practically  at  that  time  it  met  the 
case.  These  Christians  in  the  wilderness  had 
cut  loose  from  tlie  ancient  foimdations.  They  were 
feeling-  for  the  simplicity  of  the  early  Church  which 
gathered  about  Christ  as  the  only  foimdatiou.  and 
practically  they  attained  it.  Yet.  members  as  they 
were  of  the  ancient  Church  of  England,  it  must  have 
satisfied  their  imagination  and  filled  a  void  in  their 
hearts,  to  hare  someihing  io  join.  These  seven  godly. 
Christian  men,  choicest  of  tlie  whole  band — these 
seven  pillars  in  some  unconscious  \vay  and  with  a  sort 
of  Scriptural  sanction  stood  to  them,  we  cannot  doubt, 
in  place  of  the  goodly  battlements  of  that  great  his- 
toric Church  from  which  they  never  separated,  but 
from  which  they  were  now  cutting  loose. 

These  seven  elect  men  first  drew  up  a  "Doctrine 
of  Faith,"  the  same  used  in  the  First  Church,  till  in 
is:)r  it  was  somewhat  amended.  To  this  th^i^y  for- 
mally assented  and  then  entered  into  covenant  with 
God  and  each  other.  Thus  was  laid  the  foundation. 
Then  the  other  members  joined  themselves  to  these 
seven  pillars  by  making  the  same  profession  and 
covenant  and  the  church  was  fully  gathered  and 
established. 

Of  the  newly  organized  church  Mr.  Whitfield 
continued  to  be  pastor  just  as  he  had  been  of  the 
colony  from  the  beginning.  It  would  seem  that  he 
was  never  formally  chosen  pastor  by  the  church  nor 
installed,  probably  because  for  several  years  he  had 
actually  been  their  pastor  and  in  the  work  and  was  a 
regularly  ordained  clergyman.

GEXEALOGV    OF    THE    STONE    FAMILY.  -^'-l 

Rev.  John  Higgiuson  was  also  continued  as 
"teacher."  He  preached  one-half  day  every  Sabbath 
and  had  charge  of  the  public  school.  The  office  of 
ruling  elder,  which  existed  in  New  Haven  and  other 
New  England  churches  was  not  adopted  here.  Neither 
were  deacons  chosen  either  in  Mr. "Whitfield's  or  Mr. 
Higginson's  ministry,  that  is,  for  nearly  a  quarter  of 
a  century.  Three  men  were  chosen  annually  who 
collected  the  minister's  maintenance,  and  managed 
the  temporalities  of  the  church  like  vestrymen  in  the 
Church  of  England.  To  the  church  thus  constituted 
the  four  planters  who  had  been  entrusted  with  the 
control  of  affairs  until  a  church  should  be  gathered, 
resigned  their  trust  and  by  the  church  thus  organized 
the  civil  polity  of  the  plantation  was  thereupon 
established. 

In  that  civil  polity  the  feature  which  now  seems 
most  peculiar,  and  for  which  the  church  is  justly  held 
responsible,  is  the  provision  that  only  church  mem- 
bers should  be  voting  citzens.  This  is  fully  expressed 
in  the  constitution  which  the  church  drafted  for  the 
civil  government  now  to  be  set  up  by  it.  It  reads: 
"We  do  now  therefore  all  and  every  of  us  agree,  order 
and  conclude  that  only  such  planters  as  are  also  mem- 
bers of  the  church  here  shall  be  and  be  called  freemen 
and  that  such  freemen  only  shall  have  power  to  elect 
magistrtites,  deputies  and  other  officers  of  public 
interest,  or  authoriy  in  matters  of  importance,  con- 
cerning either  the  civil  affairs  or  government  here, 
from  amongst  themselves  and  not  elsewhere."  In  a 
word,  only  church  members  could  vote  or  be  voted  for. 

"What  our  fathers  thus  did  was  with  entire  unani- 
mity, in  accordance  with  the  high  purpose  that  actu- 
ated them,  to  erect  a  miniature  republic  in  which  the 
good  should  rule.     They  thought  they  had  found  who

the  good  were,  namel}",  those  who  by  a  regenerating 
faith  had  become  members  of  the  true  Church  of 
Christ.  So  they  established  a  popukir  government 
with  a  ••piety  quahfication" — not  property  nor  learn- 
ing but  personal  character  should  be  the  test  of 
citizenship. 

That  such  were  the  motives  that  induced  our 
fathers  to  thus  limit  citizenship  appears  very  clearly 
in  a  treatise  written  at  that  time,  probably  by  Rev. 
John  Davenport  (though  ascribed  on  its  title  page  t.) 
John  Cotton),  entitled  '-A  Discourse  about  Civil  Gov- 
ernment in  a  Xew  Plantation  whose  Design  is  Keli- 
giou."  In  this  note  the  Sixth  Argument,  (which 
doubtless  underlay  all  the  rest)  namely:  ••The  dangi-r 
of  devolving  this  (civil)  power  upon  those  not  in 
church  order."  AVhen  Mr.  Davenport  came  to  the 
Massachusetts  colony  on  his  way  ti;i  Xew  Haven,  he 
found  that  they  in  Massachusetts  had  seven  years 
before  (May  ISth,  1C31)  limited  citizenship  in  the  same 
way.  They  had  done  so  in  part  because  they  were 
afraid  that  otherwise  emissaries  of  the  King,  or  of 
Laud,  might  gain  entrance  into  their  councils.  Th- 
same  danger  existed  here  and  they  sought  to  escape  it 
in  the  same  wav.

of  Mt.  Vernon,  N.  Y.,  who  has  written  a  book  entitled 
"The  Family  of  John  Stone,"  seems  to  have  no  doubt 
but  that  the  Rev.  Samuel  Stcne  was  our  English 
ancestor.  He  says  in  the  introductory  of  his  work : 
"Various  have  been  the  traditions  concerning  the 
origin  of  the  Stone  family  in  America.  The  most 
commonly  accepted  one  has  been  that  six  brothers 
came  over  in  a  vessel  of  their  own  to  Watertown, 
Mass.;  that  their  names  respectively  were:  Deacon 
Simon,  (others  say  Rev.  Simon)  Stone,  William  Stone, 
John  Stone,  Deacon  Gregory  Stone,  Isaac  Stone,  and

Rev.  Samuel  Stone.  That  the  first  three  settled  at 
Watertown  (some  say  little  Cambrid^^e  and  Dor- 
chester), "William  and  John  at  Guilford,  Conn.,  and 
Rev.  Samuel  at  Hartford,  Conn."  This  tradition 
further  states  that  they  were  all  the  sons  of  Rev. 
Samuel  Stone,  a  non-conformist  divine  of  Hereford- 
shire, England,  and  educated  at  Emanuel  College, 
Cambridge,  and  a  lecturer  in  Torcester,  Northamp- 
tonshire {From  Cotton  Mathers  Jlagnalia,  Vol.  1,  P. 
392-5,  Hartford,  1S30.)  On  the  other  hand  and  in 
direct  conflict  with  above  "A  History  of  the  first 
church  in  Hartford,  Conn.,  states  that  Rev.  Samuel 
Stone  was  a  son  of  John  Stone,  a  freeholder  of  Her- 
ford,  England.  This  is  based  on  investigations  made 
in  England,  on  the  records  of  Hertford,  and  so  far  as 
the  ancestry  of  Rev.  Samuel  (who  founded  Hartford, 
Conn.)  is  concerned,  this  statement  is  undoubtedly 
the  correct  one;  (in  regard  to  the  history  of  Rev. 
Samuel  Stone,  who  was  the  founder  of  Hartford,  more 
can  be  found  in  a  work  printed  by  George  Leon 
Walker  in  1S84;  in  the  course  of  his  story  of  the  old 
first  church  of  Hartford,  he  has  a  good  deal  to  say  of

This  record  seems  to  explode  the  tradition  of  the 
'Six  Brothers"  for  Rev.  Samuel,  "of  Hartford,"  was 
the  son  of  Jolm,  not  of  Sainnel,  and  Simon,  and  Greg- 
ory could  hardly  have  been  his  brothers,  even  sup- 
posing that  their  baptisms  do  not  appear  on  the  Hert- 
ford register  was  from  neglect  to  record  them  or  from 
some  other  cause,  since  it  is  known  (from  their  ages) 
that  Simon  Avas  born  in  1585,  and  Gregory  in  loOO.  It 
is  therefore  extremely  unlikely  tliat  they  were  the 
brothers  of  Samuel,  whose  father  continued  to  have 
children  as  late  as  1G29. 

It  has  also  been  stated  that  Simon  Stone  "came 
over  from  Ipswich  in  the  ship  Increase  April  15th, 
1G;35."  Of  John  Stone,  Col.  William  L.  Stone  says 
that  lie  has  come  across  no  less  than  ten  of  that  name 
who  were  early  settlers  in  New  England.  A  Stone 
Genealogy  of  the  Rhode  Island  branch,  says  that  a 
John  Stone,  aged  forty,  came  to  Salem,  Mass.,  in 
April,  1035,  from  Hawkhurst,  England,  in  the  ship 
Elizabeth,  where  he  remained  for  some  years  plying  a 
ferry  between  that  village  and  Beverly,  finally  moving 
to  Guilford,  Conn.

A  Hugh  Stone,  also,  settled  in  Cranston,  R.  I., 
and  was  the  founder  of  the  Stones  in  that  State. 

It  would  appear  from  the  foregoing  that  it  is  use- 
less to  try  to  trace  the  Stone  family  in  America,  from 
a  single  source.  There  were  doubtless  many  of  that 
name  who  were  among  the  earliest  emigrants  to  the 
colonies,  and  who,  in  all  probability,  were  in  nowise 
related  to  each  other.  Fortunately,  however,  for  us, 
no  such  obscurity  envelops  our  New  England  ancestor, 
and  while  it  might  have  been  pleasant  to  believe  that 
we  were  directly  descended  from  Rev.  Samuel  Stone, 
the  founder  of  Hartford,  and  the  faithful  companion 
and  friend  of  the  devoted  Hooker,  yet  the  contrary 
finds  more  than  its  compensation  in  the  certainty  with 
which  patient  investigation  has  answered  the  ques- 
tion, who  was  our  American  Ancestor?  Who  the  par- 
ents were  of  Rev.  Samuel  Stone,  "our  English  Ances- 
tor," cannot  be  ascertained  from  the  fact  that  he  was 
a  non-conformist  divine,  consequently  no  records  of 
his  marriage  and  ancestors  exist  in  Parish  records. 
Had  he  been  of  the  Church  of  England  no  such  diflfi- 
culty  would  have  existed.

Chapter  III. 

Children  of  the  Rev.  Samuel  Stone  of  Hereford,  England. 


I.  JOHN  STOXE,  the  founder  of  our  house  in 
America,  was  the  son  of  Rev.  Samuel  Stone,  a  non- 
conformist divine,  of  Hereford,  on  the  Wye  of  Here- 
fordshire, England.  He  was  born  in  Herefordshire 
near  Guilford  (probably  at  Okley)  the  borough  town 
of  Surrey  County,  about  lillO,  and  came  to  New  Eng- 
land in  the  summer  of  l'i:)'i  in  company  of  "William 
Leete  (afterward  Governor  Leete)  and  Rev.  Henry 
"Whitfield,  settling  in  what  is  now  called  Guilford, 
Connecticut.  John  and  his  brother  William  came  in 
Whitfield's  first  Guilford  company,  having  set  sail 
frrun  England,  May  20,  li;:3li,  in  two  ships.  When 
theii-  ships  had  been  about  ten  days  out  these  brothers, 
with  William  Leete  and  others,  of  their  companions, 
entered  into  a  written  agreement,  or  us  it  was  called, 
a  "Plantation  Covenant."  (See  page  .5.)  Between 
the  loth  and  1.5th  of  July  their  sbips  dropped  anchor 
in  the  harbor  at  New  Haven,  the  first  vessels  that  had 
ever  entered  it.  John  was  a  farmer,  also  by  trade  a 
clothier,  and  a  mason.  It  being  no  uncommon  thing 
in  those  days  for  a  man  to  have  two,  or  even  more 
trades.  He  was  for  many  years  town  constable,  an 
office  which  was  far  more  respectable  than  that  of 
sheriff  is  now.     He  seems  to  have  been  a  man  well

thought  of  among  his  fellows,  since  his  family  not 
only  intermarried  with  that  of  Governor  Leete,  hut 
he  was  often  employed  by  the  Selectmen  of  the  town, 
as  Referee,  in  varicus  cases  in  which  high  character 
and  strict  probity  were  required.  John's  first  allot- 
ment of  land  was  on  what  is  now  Whitfield  Street, 
opposite  Henry  Whitfield's  first  place,  and  near  the 
village  green.  How  long  he  owned  this  place  is  not 
known,  but  Rev.  Joseph  Eliott  purchased  the  place  in 
lOO-t  and  his  descendants  own  the  place  to  this  day. 
One  that  is  competent  to  know  says  that  John  Stone's 
place  was  afterward  at  the  corner  of  York  and  Fair 
streets,  the  present  site  of  the  Institute,  or  high  school. 

John's  brother  William*  was  the  ancestor  of  (Lois 
Stone*  30)  who  married  (Russell  Stone*  Mu).  William 
was  a  farmer  and  kept  an  inn  at  North  Guilford.  He 
came  to  Guilford  with  his  wife  Hannah  with  the  fisrt 
company.  He  married  for  a  second  wife  in  lii-V'.  Mary 
Hughes,  and  died  November,  liis:!.

This  house  and  property  is  certainly  the  old  homestead 
of  our  line  of  the  Stone  family.*  This  place  in  some 
respects  is  the  most  historical  place  in  Guilford.  It 
was  here  that  William  Leete  settled  in  1639.  He  was 
Royal  Governor  of  Connecticut  1G61-5  and  1GT6,  until 
his  death  at  Hartford,  April  16,  1GS3,  where  he  was 
buried  in  the  old  Center  Churchyard.  It  was  here 
that  the  first  white  child  was  born  in  Guilford,  viz. : 
John  Leete,  born  1639. 

''Styles  History  of  the  Judges'''  says  the  Governor's 
house  was  situated  on  the  east  bank  of  West  River. 
He  had  a  store  on  the  bank  a  few  rods  from  his  house, 
and  under  it  a  cellar,  (the  walls  of  which  remain  to 
this  day,  and  which  the  writer  visited  and  viewed  with 
interest  May  28,  ISOi).  It  is  still  in  the  general  and 
concurrent  tradition  at  Guilford,  that  the  Judges  Goff e 
and  Whalley  were  concealed  and  lodged  in  this  cellar 
several  nights,  most  say  three  nights  and  three  days, 
being  constantly  supplied  with  food  from  the  Gover- 
nor's table.  Col.  Wm.  L.  Stone  has  written  an  enter- 
taining story  called  "Mercy  Disborough  a  Tale  of  the 
"Witches,"  founded  on  the  fact  of  Governor  Leete's 
hiding  the  regicides  GoSe  and  Whalley. 

The  time  of  this  concealment  must  have  been 
between  June  11  and  20,  ICGO;  here  and  at  Rossiters, 
they  spent  above  a  week.  This  cellar  still  remains  in 
good  condition  and  the  wall  will  stand  for  future  gen- 
erations to  inspect.  It  is  now  used  for  the  storage  of 
empty  barrels.

our  last  issue.  Mr.  Tilton  wa?  born  in  Orangeville,

Stone,  "eldest  daughter  of  Reuben  Stone,  late  of 
Orangeville.  Soon  after  their  marriage  they  removed 
to  Indiana,  where  they  resided  five  years.  Except  for 
this  interval  Mr.  Tiltou's  entire  life  was  spent  in 
Orangeville.  and  since  his  settlement  here,  on  one 
section  of  land.  A  well  cultivated  farm  and  com- 
modious and  valuable  farm  buildings  attest  his  thor- 
ough efficiency  as  a  business  man.  Without  inherited 
wealth,  his  pe'rsevering  industry,  unquestioned  integ-

rity  and  genuine  good  sense,  early  gained  him  a  com- 
petency. Mr.  Tilton  held  many  places  of  trust  and 
responsibility.  As  a  public  otficer  he  serred  with 
credit  and  ability,  securing  the  entire  approval  of 
those  he  represented.  Ever  at  the  front  in  Temper- 
ance work,  faithfully  trying  to  raise  the  unfortunate 
and  fallen,  he  was  ever  ready  to  aid  with  money,  time 
and  influence,  this  great  work.  Though  nearly  sev- 
enty years  old,  his  untiring  energy  made  him  appear 
much  yoimger.  His  life  was  characterized  by  indus- 
try and  integrity.  He  was  a  regular  attendant  of 
religious  services  and  contributed  liberally  to  all  ben- 
evolent purposes.  An  esteemed  citizen,  a  loyal  friend, 
a  kind  husband  and  father,  and  a  worthy  man  has 
been  taken  from  among  us.

Truman  Lewis,  who  was  born  at  New  Hartford, 
Conn.,  Novembers,  1784.  He  left  his  father's  house 
at  Vernon,  N.  Y.,  in  the  spring  of  1807,  and  made  his 
way  on  foot,  much  of  the  way  being  through  a  wilder- 
ness, to  Orangeville,  Wyoming  County,  N.  Y.,  where 
he  bought  some  land  in  what  was  then  an  almost  un- 
broken forest.  This  farm  he  owned  when  he  died. 
Here  he  and  his  wife  literally  hewed  out  for  them- 
selves and  their  children  a  home.  He  was  a  member

For  sometliing  like  fifteen  years  he  was  the  agent 
for  Wyoming  Count}-  of  the  Farmers'  Loan  and  Trust 
Company  of  New  York,  and  for  the  town  of  Orange- 
ville  of  the  Trustees  under  the  will  of  James  Lord 
deceased,  of  Boston,  Mass.  These  parties  were  the 
successors  of  the  Old  Holland  Land  Company,  and  at 
the  time  they  held  a  very  large  number  of  mortgages 
and  owned  a  great  number  of  farms'  in  that  part  of 
"VTyoming  County,  included  in  the  Holland  Land  Com- 
pany's purchase.  This  business  entrusted  to  him  Avas 
therefore  one  of  great  magnitude.  He  so  discharged 
his  duties,  however,  as  to  both  merit,  and  receive 
the  most  gratifying  commendation  of  the  companies 
he  represented,  and  the  thanks  and  confidence  of  all 
persons  occupying  these  lands,  and  liable  to  pay  these 
mortgages,  who  everywhere  expressed  their  gratitude 
for  his  kindness  and  forebearance,  their  perfect  faith 
in  his  integrity  and  justice. 

After  closing  up  his  business  he  moved  to  War- 
saw, N.  Y.,  and  spent  the  last  seven  years  of  his  life 
with  his  son,  Simeon  D.  Lewis,  at  whose  home  he 
died,  September  15,  1SG5.  He  was  a  man  of  great 
executive  ability,  of  eminent  good  judgment,  and  of 
the  strictest  integrity.  He  was  also  a  genial,  com- 
panionable man,  possessing  an  inexhaustible  fund  of 
anecdotes,  with  which  he  often  entertained  his  friends. 
He  married,  October  3,  1811,  Lucy  Porter,  who  was 
born  March  6,  1795.  She  was  the  daughter  of  Seth 
Porter  and  Sarah  (Cowles)  Porter  and  a  granddaugh- 
ter of  Captain  John  Porter.  She  (Lucy)  died  at  Rock- 
ford,  111.,  December  13,  1866.  Truman  was  a  descen- 
dant of  "William  Lewis,  who  came  from  Braintree, 
England,  in  the  ship.  Lion,  landing  at  Boston,  Alass., 
September  16,  1632. 

Eliza    died    October   15,    1694,    and    her   brother.

Simeon  D.  Lewis  of  "Warsaw.,  Y.,  wrote  the  following 
obituary : 

Mrs.  Eliza  Lewis  Stone  was  the  daughter  of  Hon. 
Truman  Lewis,  one  of  the  pioneers  of  Wyoming 
county.  She  was  born  February  ■20th,  18-2U,  in  the 
town  of  Orangeville,  where  she  always  lived. 

At  the  time  of  her  birth  the  struggles  of  her  par- 
ents for  a  comfortable  home  were  by  no  means  ended. 
^yhen  we  remember  also  that  she  was  five  years  old 
when  De  "Witt  Clinton  made  his  memorable  iourney 
from  Albany  to  Buffalo  on  the  Erie  canal ;  that  she 
was  ten  years  old  when  the  first  short  railroad  was 
built  in  this  country,  and  that  she  was  twenty-five 
years  old  when  Morse  first  exhibited  to  the  world  the 
wonders  of  the  telegraph;  we  can  easily  understand 
that  in  her  younger  days  her  environment  was  unfav- 
orable to  a  liberal  education,  and  that  in  this  respect 
she  was  limited  to  the  curriculum  of  the  district 
school.  She  was,  however,  a  great  reader,  and  was 
therefore,  to  the  last  a  woman  of  unusual  intelligence 
— keeping  constantly  abreast  of  the  times  in  current 
literature,  and  the  general  news  of  the  day. 

On  her  -^Oth  birthday  she  was  united  in  marriage 
to  Harvey  Stone,  and  bravely  began  with  him  a  strug- 
gle for  a  home  and  a  competence,  in  which  effort  they 
were  reasonably  successful. 

She  had  three  children — Mrs.  George  L.  Parker,  of 
Buffalo;  Morris  L.  Stone,  of  Wamego,  Kansas,  and 
Truman  L.  Stone,  of  Orangeville,  with  whom  she  has 
lived  since  tlie  death  of  her  husband  in  18s7. 

She  was  a  woman  of  cheerful  temper,  kind  to  all, 
sympathetic  with  all  who  were  in  trouble,  and  ever 
ready  to  aid  the  unfortunate,  and  do  what  she  could 
to  relieve  those  who  were  in  distress. 

The  legitimate  fruits  of  a  long  life  so  filled  with 
good  deeds,  was  a  large  circle  of  devoted  friends,  who 
mourn  her  departure.  In  her  christian  character,  she 
was  a  woman  of  deeds  rather  than  of  professions.  She 
was  not  one  of  those  who  on  the  street  corners  cried, 
"Lord,  Lord,"  but  rather  one  who  did  the  will  of  her 
Heavenlv  Father.

For  several  years  she  has  been  an  invalid;  at 
times  a  sufferer,  and  recently  almost  helpless,  but 
through  all  these  weary  months  and  years  she  has 
been  cheerful,  and  has  ever  seemed  disposed  to  look 
on  the  bright  side  of  life. 

In  the  remembrance  of  her  broad  charitv,  her 
cheerful  disposition,  her  life  filled  with  good  deeds, 
and  her  love  for  all  that  is  good  and  bright  and  beau- 
tiful her  children  have  a  priceless  legacy. 

The  spring  after  his  (Harvey's)  marriage  he 
bought  some  land  of  his  father,  Reuben  (37).  He 
lived  on  this  farm  until  the  winter  of  181-i,  when  he 
sold  this  farm  and  purchased  of  his  father-in-law 
(Truman  Lewis),  who  was  agent  for  the  Trustees 
under  the  will  of  James  Loyd,  deceased,  of  Boston, 
Mass.,  a  farm  on  lot  No.  58,  in  Orangeville,  N.  y! 
He  afterward  bought  more  land  so  that  he  had  a  large 
farm.  He  built  good  buildings  and  lived  on  this  farm 
in  comparative  comfort  all  his  life.  He  held  the  office 
of  supervisor  in  is.55,  was  a  justice  of  the  peace  for 
twelve  years,  and  justice  of  .sessions  for  the  county 
two  terms.  He  loved  his  country  and  its  civil  institu- 
tions. While  a  boy  at  school  he  wrote  an  essay  which 
was  long,  and  prophesied  with  uncommon  clearness 
that  the  final  result  of  slavery  in  this  country  would 
be  war  and  bloodshed,  which  prophecy  proved  only 
too  true.  He  was  a  man  of  sterling  virtues.  Among 
these  may  be  mentioned  remarkable  uprightness  of 
character,  and  he  possessed  a  great  dislike  for  any- 
thing petty  or  mean. 

He  was  ever  ready  to  oblige  when  it  could  be  done 
without  sacrifice  of  principle,  but  could  not  give  up  his 
own  personal  opinions.  He  attended  and  supported 
the  Presbyterian  church.  He  and  his  wife  lie  peace- 
fully side  by  side  in  the  cemetery  at  Johnsonburg,

N.  Y.,  in  which  place  they  attended  church  for  more 
than  thirty  years. 

The  Western  Xeu:  Yorker  published  the  following 
notices  of  their  deaths: 


January  11,  18S7. 

HARVEY  STONE  died  at  his  home  in  the  town 
of  Orangeville,  January  Tth,  the  funeral  obsequies 
taking  place  at  Johnsonburg  on  the  '.'th.  attended  by 
a  very  large  collection  of  commemorating  neighbors 
and  friends  from  adjoining  tovrns.  Eeuben  Stone, 
father  of  the  decased,  was  an  early  pioneer  of  the 
town,  locating  in  1811,  from  Livonia.  Livingston 
County,  N.  Y.  Mr.  Stone  was  truly  a  native  of  the 
town  in  which  he  had  lived  from  birth,  born  on  the 
premises  where  his  father  first  located,  February 
lith,  1818.  A  representative  citizen,  meriting  and 
retaining  the  confidence  of  a  community  most  familiar 
with  him,  was  the  recipient  of  all  the  town  offices  at 
various  periods,  except  town  clerk  and  collector. 
For  two  terms  presided  on  the  bench  as  justice  of  ses- 
sions. His  industry  and  exertions  largely  promoted 
the  clearing  up  and"  prosperity  of  the  town.  Among 
the  first  to  introduce  extended  dairy  manufacture  of 
cheese,  that  placed  a  backward  locality  in  the  list  of 
competing  agricultural  advance.  The  demised  had 
been  a  victim  of  paralysis  for  three  years  previous  to 
his  death,  during  the  time  gradually  failing,  subjected 
to  lingering  disease  and  helpless  prostration,  finally 
prostrated  a  strong  frame  and  healthy  constitution 
that  had  endured  the  hardships  incident  to  the  occupa- 
tion of  farmer,  whose  examples  were  not  without 
merit.  His  genial  deportment  will  not  fail  to  be 
remembered  by  all  with  whom  he  associated.  Meet- 
ing acquaintances  always  cordial,  in  contact  with 
strangers  equally  genial.  Always  a  well  provided 
home  furnished  an  open  door  of  welcome  and  hospital- 
ity. A  widow  wife  survives  to  mourn  his  absence,  one

MRS.  ELIZA  STONE.— Died  at  Varysburg  on

For  several  years  she  has  been  an  invalid  and  for  a

care  from  her  sou  and  his  wife,  with  whom  she  has

leaves  two  other  children,  Mrs.  George  L.  Parker,  of

her  case  also  it  is  demonstrated  that  a  long  and  useful 
life  brings  its  legitimate  fruitage  in  a  large  circle  of 
friends,  who  will  long  remember  her  gentle  nature 
and  her  many  acts  of  kindne??.  The  funeral  will  be

The  personal  characteristics  of  Mr.  Stone  best 
appear  in  the  following  letters  to  the  writer  from  the 
Hon.  A.  J.  Lorish,  County  Judge  of  Wyoming  County,

Warsaw,  X.  Y..  August  12,  IS'.iG. 
Mr.  T.  L.  Stone: 

Dear  Friend: — I  hear  you  are  contemplating  writing 
up  and  publishing  a  life  of  your  father,  and  I  want  to 
contribute  a  few  words.  I  went  into  Judge  Corlett's 
oflBce  in  Attica,  as  a  law-student  in  1S57;  and,  as  was 
the  case  with  all  law-  students  in  those  days,  I  was 
expected  to  pettifog  all  justice's  court  matters  coming 
into  the  office ;  and  with  a  copy  of  Blackstone  under 
my  arm,  I  traveled  all  over  that  region  and  became 
acquainted  with  every  justice  of  the  peace  for  miles 
around.    One  day  I  was  directed  by  the  judge  to  go  up

before  Esq.  Stone  of  Orangeville,  and  try  a  law-suit. 
He  explained  to  me  the  matter  and  advised  me  what  to 
do.  I  asked  him  who  would  be  against  me,  and  was 
told  Blackmer,  Henshaw  or  Gladding  and,  perhaps, 
all  combined.  I  was  startled,  for  all  those  gentlemen 
were  giants  in  justices'  court,  in  those  days.  Judge 
Corlett  noticed  my  terror,  —  said  encouragingly, 
"Don't  be  scared!  Harve  Stone,"  as  he  was  famil- 
iarly called,  "presides  in  and  runs  his  own  court,  and 
no  party  in  a  suit  before  him,  fails  to  receive  justice 
no  matter  who  his  lawyer  is,  or  who  is  against  him, 
and  he  won't  see  you  harmed."  Thus  assured,  I  went 
and  tried  the  case,  and  found  Esq.  Stone  just  as  Cor- 
lett had  said,  and  in  the  many  times  aftei  that  I 
appealed  in  his  court,  I  had  additional  evidence  that 
impartial  justice  was  ahvays  dealt  out  to  suitors.  He 
was  remarkable  along  that  line.  He  could  grasp  the 
question  in  dispute  and  readily  see  what  justice 
required,  and  was  fearless  in  administering  it.  He 
never  permitted  technicalities  to  stand  in  the  way; 
but,  before  resorting  to  trial,  he  sat,  in  all  matters  of 
dispute  between  his  neighbors,  as  a  mediator  and  a 
peacemaker.  The  same  independence  and  fearless- 
ness that  characterized  his  official  acts  was  seen  in  his 
politcal  life.  He  was  always  ready,  when  disagreeing 
with  old  political  associates,  to  give  a  reason  for  the 
faith  that  was  in  him.  His  large  commanding  pres- 
ence and  personal  address,  with  an  inexhaustible  fund 
of  good  humor  and  agreeable  conversational  powers, 
made  him  a  welcome  party  in  any  gathering.  Every- 
body conceded  conscientiousness  and  honesty  to  the 
acts  of  Harvey  Stone,  whether  personal,  judicial  or 
political.  Yours,  etc.,

Warsaw,  ]S".  Y.,  August  7,  1896. 
Truman  L.  Stone,  Esq.,  Yarysburg,  N.  Y. : 

Dear  Nephew — Kindly  accept  the  following  as  a 
brief  response  to  your  letter  of  recent  date,  asking  me 
to  give  you  some  characteristics  of  your  father  and 
grandfather. 

My  recollections  of  Reuben  Stone  are  very  clear 
and  distinct.  He  was  a  typical  pioneer  of  New  Eng- 
land birth,  who  brought  into  the  wilderness  of  West- 
ern New  York,  a  sturdy  independence  of  character; 
that  patient  industry,  which  changed  the  unbroken 
forest  into  fruitful  fields;  and  that  love  for  every  good 
institution,  which  made  him  a  faithful,  active  sup- 
porter of  schools,  the  Christian  church,  and  every 
other  organized  effort  to  educate  and  elevate  the  race. 
He  was  a  man  of  independent  thought — one  who 
formed  his  own  opinions,  and  believed  most  implicitly 
in  the  correctness  of  his  own  conclusions.  By  his 
industry,  frugality  and  good  management,  he  achieved 
success  in  his  chosen  occupation.  As  a  neighbor,  he 
was  kind  and  generous,  and  in  his  family,  loved  and 
venerated.  His  second  wife  was  sister  to  my  mother, 
and  as  his  farm  joined  that  of  my  father,  the  relations 
of  the  two  families  were  quite  close  and  intimate.  In 
olden  times  he  was  a  whig  in  politics,  and  for  years 
Truman  Lewis  and  Reuben  Stone  were  elected  over- 
seers of  the  poor  for  the  town  of  Orangeville  on  the 
same  ticket.  In  many  ways  your  father,  Harvey 
Stone,  resembled  his  father,  Reuben.  He  was  per- 
haps somewhat  more  social,  a  man  of  wider  acquain- 
tance, and  more  inclined  to  keep  step  with  modern 
methods,  and  one  whose  mental  vision  took  in  a 
wider  sweep.  Like  him  he  was  a  man  of  positive 
convictions   touching    all    questions,   and   he   always

GENEALOGY  OF  THE   STONE   FAMILY.  131 

stood  ready  to  maintain  them  fearlessly.  He  married 
my  sister,  Eliza,  on  her  twentieth  birthday,  and 
together  with  brave  hearts,  and  strong  and  tireless 
hands,  they  commenced  to  carve  out  their  fortunes. 
In  this  respect,  like  your  grandfather,  they  -were 
reasonably  successful.  They  acquired  a  modest  inde- 
pedence,  not  by  a  skillful  shufhiug  of  financial  cards, 
but  by  an  intelligent  use  of  the  means  at  hand,  and 
by  a  determined  tireless  industry. 

Harvey  Stone  held  several  important  town  offices. 
If  I  remember  correctly  he  was  at  different  times 
high  way  commissioner,  justice  of  the  peace,  and 
supervisor;  and  at  least  for  one  term,  he  was 
called  by  the  electors  of  Wyoming  County  to  the 
office  of  sessions  justice.  You  certainly  can  look  back 
upon  your  ancestry  with  pride. 

"While  such  men's  names  are  not  always  written 
in  flaming  characters  on  historic  pages,  it  is  neverthe- 
less true  that  in  more  respects  than  one,  their  lives 
are  heroic.  When  we  recall  their  limitations,  and 
remember  their  interest  in  others,  and  their  labors 
freely  given  for  others,  as  well  as  their  successful 
struggles  against  every  obstacle  standing  between 
them  and  their  hope,  we  may  well  apply  to  their 
lives,  these  words  of  Wordsworth: 

"Life  I  repeat  is  energy  of  love, 
Divine  or  human;  exercised  in  pain, 
In  strife,  and  tribulation ;  and  ordained 
If  so  approved  and  sanctified,  to  pass 
Through  shades  and  silent  rest,  to  endless  joy." 
Yours  truly, 

S.  D.  LEWIS.

for  forty  years.  The  esteem  in  which  he  is  held  in  his 
profession,  and  in  the  community  in  which  he  lives  is 
best  attested  by  the  positions  of  trust  and  honor  to 
which  he  has  frequently  been  summoned.  He  was  for 
several  years  vice-president  of  the  Homeopathic  Medi- 
cal Society  of  the  State  of  New  York  and  for  one  year 
its  president.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
Chautauqua  County  Homeopathic  Medical  Society, 
and  of  the  Homeopathic  Medical  Society  of  Western 
New  York. 

In  1877  he  was  appointed  professor  of  special 
pathology  and  diagnosis  in  the  Hahnemann  College 
and  Hospital  in  Chicago,  where  his  lectures  were 
noted  for  depth  of  thought,  broad  knowledge  and 
painstaking  research.  The  degree  of  Doctor  of  Medi- 
cine was  conferred  upon  him  by  the  regents  of  the 
University  of  New  York  in  1879,  and  in  1891  the 
Homeopathic  Society  of  the  State  nominated  him  for 
the  State  Board  of  Medical  Examiners,  to  which  he 
was  duly  elected  by  the  State  regents.  He  was  chosen 
president  of  the  first  meeting  of  the  Board. 

In  1801:  by  Governor  Flower  and  again  in  18.'.5  by 
Governor  Morton  Dr.  Couch  was  commissioned  one 
of  the  managers  of  the  Collins'  Farm  Homeopathic 
Hospital  for  the  Insane.  As  a  popular  lecturer  Dr. 
Couch  enjoys  a  wide  reputation,  presenting  compli- 
cated subjects  in  a  simple  intelligible  way.  He  has 
lectured  before  the  Buffalo  Society  of  Natural  Sci- 
ences, and  he  delivered  the  opening  address  before 
the  World's  International  Homeopathic  Congress  held 
at  Atlantic  City  in  1801. 

Dr.  Couch's  whole  life  has  been  one  of  unceasing 
activity  in  the  practical  and  theoretical  branches  of 
his  profession,  and  he  is  today,  in  consequence,  justly
