BIOGRAPHY: Genealogy of the Stone Family originating in Rhode Island By Richard C. Stone. Providence: Knowles, Anthony and Company,Printers 1866 Page 127 Note 110

  John Stone (4), the third son of Hugh Stone (1), was born in old Warwick, where he lived till the year 1712. He was a wheelright and chairmaker by trade, and built a house on his father's land, now called the Barlo Greene farm, near "Mark Rock." The lot of two acres was deeded by Hugh to his son John, Oct. 16, 1706, and is described as the lot on which "John had built his house." The same year, Sept. 29th, 1706, Thomas Barnes, by will, bequeathed his son Thomas to his brother-in-law, John Stone, until he was twenty years of age. Between 1812 and 1815, his first wife, Hannah Barnes, died, and he married Abigail Foster. The boy, Thomas Barnes, was taken from his care and placed under the guardianship of an uncle Barnes, in Warwick, where he probably remained when he uncle, John Stone, removed to "Mashantatack," where his two older brothers had already settled. John Stone (4) was an active and industrious man, possessing by gift and purchase, a large real estate, and was much respected by his acquaintances; he was a man of genial temperament, mirthful and sportive, even to the close of life, and left a large family in good circumstances for those early times, from whom has descended a large posterity of much intelligence and moral worth. He had three sons by his first marriage, all of whom have many descendants; and eight children by the last marriage, all settled in Rhode Island. He died about the year 1754.
