Descendants of Thomas Stone

 

"STONE"

English: from Old English stan 'stone', in any of several uses. It is most commonly a topographic name, for someone who lived either on stony ground or by a notable outcrop of rock or a stone boundary-marker or monument, but it is also found as a metonymic occupational name for someone who worked in stone, a mason or stonecutter. There are various places in southern and western England named with this word, for example in Buckinghamshire, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Kent, Somerset, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire, and the surname may also be a habitational name from any of these.

Notes for SARAH WEBBER:

When Sarah died of Typhoid fever, her wooden casket was loaded into a wagon and taken from Bourbon Co., to Estill Co., Kentucky for burial.  The children ranging 15 years down to infancy rode in back of the wagon with their mother's casket.  This had to be a heartbreaking sight.  Bill slowly, driving the horse drawn wagon along an old, rutted, dusty dirt road with the eight children squatted around the casket; on a long trip to their mother's final resting place. With Bill, Katherine, John, and Augustine understanding the finality of death, Fountain & Louisa missing their mother thinking she has just gone away for a little while but would be back soon, James, Rhoda, and Frances Ellen wanting to do what children do best...play and laugh...being protected from grief by reason of their age and lack of understanding.
