* John William Stone

• John William Stone M V T K Y Photo: Have picture! Born: 29 June 1828.[3844] 1825.[3845] 28 June 1828 in Culpeper.[3846] “…John William was born 28 June 1828 and died 12 May 1863. He had married Susan Jane Payne Kelly (2 Sept. 1829–16 Dec 1911) [on] 12 March 1851. As you already know, he is buried in the Congressional Cemetery in Arlington.” [3847] Married: Susan Jane Kelly.[3848] Wife – Susan Kelly Stone Stigler, born 1 September 1829, died 16 December 1916, buried Mt. Holly Cemetery, Remington.[3849] Her maiden name was Susan Kelly, she first wed J. W. Stone, and second wed a Mr. Stigler, apparently.

Also, some sources seem to confuse her with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Jack Stone (first name Jane, middle Payne, maiden Kelly, married Stone). The following source states that J. W. Stone “married Jane Payne Kelly, 12 March 1851,” yet its next entry is “ ‘… Susan Jane Payne Kelly… born Sept 1829, died 16 Dec 1911,’ ” whom a family member identifies as “John’s wife”. [3850] Where was she born? When and where did they marry? Where did she die? Who were her parents?] Died: Taken prisoner [3851] and died in Old Capitol Prison, [3852] of pneumonia,[3853] on 12 May 1863.[3854] He was buried at the Congressional Cemetery [3855] in Washington D. C.[3856] Died May 1863.[3857] Buried May 1863.[3858] Grave #256 Section range 143. Located in the last section, “East end Center N—— wall South side.” His marker was an old sandstone tombstone; the government replaced this with a new stone.[3859] See Payne diary. Died Tuesday, 12 May, 1863. Died 12 May 863 in Fed. POW Prison, Washington DC. Buried in Old Congressional Cem 17th and Penn.

Obituary: Children: Four: Nathaniel T.; James “Jim” (born 12 January 1852, died 3 November 1932); Mary Emma; Sarah “Sallie”.[3861] Nathaniel and James J. Stone were living at Kelly’s Ford about 1930.[3862] Son – John James Stone, born 12 January 1852, died 8 December 1932. Grandson – John William Stone, born 12 April 1905, died 19 August 1964, buried Remington C[emetery].[3863] Need birth dates, death dates and spouses, of all of his children. One Emma Stone married David Wright Kelly (1859–?), and one Nathaniel Stone married Susan Jane Kelly (1862–?). The two Kellys were children of Harriet E. Payne, sister of Daniel J. Payne [BH], and Granville J. Kelly,[3864] half-first-cousin of John W. Stone and Peter C. Stone.[3865] Were this Emma Stone and Nathaniel Stone same as Nathaniel T. Stone and Mary Emma Stone, children of John William Stone of the Black Horse?

“His children were: “John James (12 January 1852–8 December 1932), wed Emma (Stone) (18 July 1872–16 January 1925). “Sally Jane (28 November 1853–12 March 1918), wed [a Mr.] McDonald. “Nathaniel Thompson (28 April 1860–13 July 1937), wed Susan Jane Payne (Kelly) (8 February 1862–16 February 1838 [he probably means 1938])… [on] 12 June 1889. “Mary Emma (30 October 1862–21 July 1951), wed David Wright Kelly (11 August 1859–15 May 1943) [on] 9 November 1883. He was the brother of Susan Jane Payne (Kelly) (1862–1838 [1938?]).” [3866]

“I am enclosing a copy of the picture that I have of… David Wright Kelly, Sr., the father of my grandmother and her brother who married Mary Emma Stone, Nathaniel’s sister.” [3867]

Parents and Siblings: “His father was John Stone who married Jane P. Kelly. They had three daughters; Nancy R., Margaret Morriss and Dinah C.” [3868] “Richard Henry Stone … [was] the brother of John W. and Peter C. Stone of The Black Horse Cavalry, all sons of John (Jack) Stone of Paoli [Peola] Mills on Mountain Run.”[3869] “John William and Peter Conway’s mother was Jane Payne Kelly Stone (wife of John Stone of Paoli and 1300 acres on Mountain Run),…” [3870] Jack Stone was born 1 March 1802 “in Fauquier City, Virginia, near Morrisville,” He was a Baptist. At age 21, he was Deputy Sheriff, “Culpeper City”, and, also at age 21, he married Jane Payne Kelly, 9 December 1822. He was a farmer. He owned approximately 1000 acres near Brandy Station. He died 31 August 1884 “in Culpeper City,” age 82.[3871] 64 John (Jack) Stone -41 [John and Peter’s father]; 65 Jane P Kelly-42. [John and Peter’s mother] What are numbers? Statements in brackets are Betty Florey. Other is Ahnentafel Report.

The following list gives names and ages of family members “whose usual place of abode on 1 June 1850 was with this family.” “John Stone, 48 M; Farmer, Value of Real Estate Owned: 8250; Place of Birth: Va.” “Jane P. Stone, 49 F; Mary Ann Stone, 25 F; Penny M. Stone, 24 F; Dinah C. Stone, 19 F; Peter C. Stone, 16 M; Richard H. Stone, 13 M.” “… John must be the first born son. If the Ahnentafel Report lists his birthday as 28 June 1828, then in the 1850 census, he would be about 22 years old and away from home… That might also explain the gap between Penny’s and Dinah’s ages. He would fit right in that slot.”[3872] “John William’s father was John (Jack) Stone. You have the correct information on his birth, death and marriage.” [3873] Other Family: John William Stone’s paternal grandfather was “William Stone whose will was proved in Fauquier County” on 28 November 1831. Who was William’s wife? William Stone’s ten children were: Francis, George W., William, John “Jack” [the BH troopers’ father], Richard P., Isaac, Mary Curtis, Margaret, Ann R., and Elizabeth C. [3874]

Black Horse cavalryman “John William’s [paternal] grandfather William Stone was the first Stone from whom we are descended to live in Fauquier County. He was born in Westmoreland County. [We’ll refer to him as William Stone of Fauquier to distinguish him from his father, also William Stone, who remained in Westmoreland.] …[G]enealogist George H. S. King… concluded that John William [BH] was a grandson of Francis Stone and Sarah Monroe. “The will of William W. Monroe (grandfather of President James Monroe) names William Stone [of Fauquier] and makes a grant to him. …William Monroe had two daughters, Sarah and Mary, who married two Stone brothers (Francis and William). Francis (1702–1749) and Sarah had a son named William [of Westmoreland—who would have been first cousin to President Monroe] and Mr. King concludes that he [William Stone of Westmoreland] is the father of our William Stone who moved to Fauquier County.” This line of reasoning would make cavalrymen John and Peter Stone first cousins thrice removed to President Monroe, through their great-great- grandmother Sarah (Monroe) Stone being sister to the President’s father. “William Stone [of Fauquier] married Sarah Morris [on] 25 Jan 1791, married Peggy Morris (Sarah’s sister) in 1793, and Mrs. Mary (Payne) Morris, the widow of the two previous Morris wives’ brother, Saunders Morris, in 1823. He died in 1831. They had six sons and four daughters. They lived in southern Fauquier near what is now Morrisville. It is reasonable to assume that Morrisville was named after Mr. Morris the father of the first two wives of William Stone.” [3875] [NOTE:det wh is grandmother by father’s dob—1802, Peggy Morris.]

John William Stone’s maternal grandparents were John Kelly and Dinah Conway. John and Dinah named their daughter Jane Payne Kelly, but she was not an immediate Payne decendant.[3876] The Stones were cousins to the Paynes.[3877] The brothers’ “commanding officer cousin was Alexander Dixon Payne, who wrote the letter to John’s wife.”[3878] The Stones, Kellys and Paynes intermarried extensively.[3879] Following is a sketch of the clans’ interrelatedness, beginning with some Kelly genealogy. Alexander ( –1754), the youngest son of John Kelly ( –1715) of Richmond County, had a son named James ( –1820), who married Susannah Wilson. Alexander and James were both of Richmond County. James Kelly and Susannah Wilson had seven children. Three were John, Susannah, and Molly. John Kelly (3 April 1761–10 August 1820), married Jane Payne, daughter of [George Payne[3880]], in 1784; they had six children. John married Dinah Conway on 7 September 1797; they had eight children. The Black Horse troopers’ mother was among the latter eight. Some of John Kelly’s children from his first marriage were born in Westmoreland County, on the northern side of the Rappahannock from Richmond County. Later, the family moved to Kelly’s Ford, Culpeper County, which he founded beside the Rappahannock River “about five miles below Remington, which is on the opposite bank ….” John Kelly and Jane Payne, his first wife, named one of their sons John Payne Kelly. John Payne Kelly married Margaret Wright James, and had a daughter who they named Jane Payne Kelly (1827–1854). John Kelly and Dinah Conway, his second wife, named one of their daughters Jane Payne Kelly (1801–?). She was half-sister to the John Payne Kelly of the previous paragraph. She became Mrs. John Stone, and mother of six children, including John William Stone and Peter Conway Stone. A sister to the two Black Horse brothers, Margaret Stone, married Robert Morton Coleman. Before marrying Margaret Stone, he had been the husband of her and her brothers’ first-cousin: Jane Payne Kelly (1827–1854). This Jane’s brother, Granville James Kelly (1821–1898), married Harriet Elizabeth Payne (15 August 1822–30 April 1900). Harriet’s brother, Daniel James Payne, was also in the Black Horse. Harriet and Daniel, like Granville, were great-grandchildren of George Payne, their grandparents Richard and Jane being siblings. Reverting to the seven children of James Kelly and Susannah Wilson, the Black Horse brothers’ grandparents—James and Susannah’s daughter Susannah (Kelly), John Kelly’s sister, was the first wife of Jane Payne’s brother, Richard Payne. John W. Stone and Peter C. Stone were direct cousins only to the branch of Paynes who descended from their aunt, Susannah Kelly, and her husband, Richard Payne, through their only child James. Another daughter, Molly Kelly, was mother of Susannah Wilson Asbury. She, the troopers’ first cousin, wed Richard Payne, son of Richard Payne and his second wife Mary Major, becoming aunt to John W. Payne [BH] and Jos. F. Payne [BH]. The Kelly and Payne families were intricately related.[3881] The above pages show the Black Horse Stone brothers to be not descended from a Payne, but tied to the Paynes by a web of marriages. Their maternal grandfather’s first wife was Jane Payne, daughter of George Payne; her brothers were ancestors to several Black Horsemen (See A. D. Payne’s entry). The Stone brothers’ cousins through their grandfather were themselves cousins through Jane to several of the Paynes in this company: their cousins were cousins to the Paynes, but the two Black Horse Stone brothers weren’t—except with Daniel James Payne [BH] and Harriet Elizabeth Payne—as far as this information shows. “These names are intimately connected with the Stone name: Kelly, Payne, Morris, Chilton, Thompson, Keith.”[3882] All three of John William Stone’s sisters married. Nancy R. married George W. Stone on 15 March 1853. Margaret Morriss married Robert M. Coleman on 31 December 1855. Dinah C. married John D. Brown on 12 November 1867.[3883] Peter and William’s brother Richard Henry Stone was a “missionary who went to West Africa in 1859.” He wrote a book titled In Afric’s Forest and Jungle. He also composed “letters, some written from Culpeper CH, in which he describes war circumstances. As an unattached chaplain, he joined Lee’s army at Petersburg and stayed with it until the fall of Richmond in 1865.”[3884] Reverend Richard H. Stone ran or taught at a school in Culpeper circa 1870s–1880s.[3885] Richard married Susan James Broadus. [Their daughter Mary Conway Stone married a Mr. Finklea. Mr. and Mrs. Finklea’s son had a daughter, Elizabeth, who married a Mr. Florey.][3886] John Payne Kelly was half-brother to the Black Horse brothers’ mother; he was their uncle. Granville James Kelly was the Black Horse brothers’ first cousin. A Federal report details John P. and G. J. Kelly’s contributions to the Confederacy and their 1862 capture:[3887] “Sir, I have the honor to report that… ; the party reported yesterday having crossed the Rappahannock and proceeded to the village of Kelleysville where they arrested and brought into Camp three prisoners. G. J. Kelly John P. Kelly… G. J. Kelly is a contractor for the Confederate Government and an important arrest: he was apprehended collecting mail mattes on his way to Richmond and Danville. His mills are the principal ones for the manufacture of grey Kersey for the uniform of the Confederate Army… on his person… are two passes with the Oath of Allegiance to the Confederate Government and a bill of a large amount for wool and kerseys, also letters addressed to Maj Genl Ewell. Brig Genl Trimble and others: he is reported wealthy and a leading and influential rebel. an accompaning book will show some of the transactions and this large amount of confederate coupon bonds held by the party; they are in possession of ——— ——— ——— Louisa Court House. All of which is respectfully submitted.” [NOTE:Transition here between above period letter & below info.] “John William, though a young man, had accumulated significant wealth.” “Their “Total Estate” was valued at $7,509.00 on 12 September 1879.” “In the Court House in Warrenton are details of the disposition of his property to the children….” “From [the] Estate Division Packet: Widow Susan J. Stone wed J. P. Stigler. [Her] daughter Sarah went by Sallie; Mary & Nat were over 14 but minors at time of 1878 to 1879, when this case was at court. [The] Estate was “Millview Farm.” Remington then apparently called Rappahannock Station.” “Susan J. P. Stigler… relinquished her right to dower in the “Millview Tract” and ask that same may be divided into four parcels for her four children.”] “Most of what is downtown Remington was included in this. The property included the railroad area and went to the river. John William had also owned the gold mine at Goldvein for a short time. The purchase papers are in the Courthouse records in Warrenton. In a booklet published by the Senior Class of John Barton Payne High School… is a reference to his owning or operating a factory to make Confederate Uniforms. I have no other source for this. “His son Nathaniel Thompson… had a farm in Culpeper County that included a mill. There were two Mills at that time, the Paoli Mill and my grandfather’s, both on Mountain Run. My father [A. D. Stone, Sr.] operated the Stone’s Mill, when he was in school, for his father.” “…Alexander Donathan Stone (22 May 1891–1966) was a grandchild of John William Stone [BH].” He wed Virginia Chilton.[3888] [Great-grandsons of John William Stone are Alexander Donald “Don” Stone[3889] and Charles Harvey Andes. cite last!
