Incidents in the Life and Times of Stukeley Westcote with some his Descendants By J. Russell Bullock 1886 Page 61 -62 Eleanor, the only known daughter of Jeremiah, was born at "Old Warwick" about 1710-11. About 1731-32, she married William Stone, of John, of the first Hugh, born in England 1638, of Warwick 1666. Hugh was a blacksmith, and succeeded to the business of his father-in-law, Peter Busecott, the first "smith" in Warwick. William was born in 1712, in Warwick, but when he was quite young his father removed to a farm at Meshantituck, in Cranston. There William remained until 1779, when he went to Coventry, where he died in 1786. He was buried in Scituate, in the family burial ground of his son Jeremiah. Eleanor died at Cranston prior to her husband's removal to Coventry. The date of her death is not known. She was no doubt buried in the ancient "Stone" family burial ground in Cranston. Her husband is described as a man of industry, integrity, and much respected and beloved as a "kind husband, tender parent, and good neighbour."
