* Married to a Davis.;

!NOTES:B/D 1802 & D/D 1893 from T/S. Stone appears modern, so probably placed generations after his death. Find-a-grave link:

!NOTES:B/P North Carolina on most of his census records, but 1850 shows South Carolina. Some of his children consistently reported his B/P as SC, so I'm sticking with that for now.;
