  • Notes 
    • From "Representative Canadians - A Cyclopedia of Canadian Biography being chiefly men of the Time - 1886":

      "John Stone was a native of the County of Carlow, Ireland, and came to Canada in 1820, a the age of 22.  He married Mary Burns, on May 3rd, 1826, and settled on a farm in Elizabethtown, in 1834, when Thomas was seven years old.  He removed thence to the township of Esquesing, County of Halton, near the village of Adamsville (now Acton)"

      "Here the family resided for six years, after which, in 1840,  it went west, settling in the backwoods of the County of Kent, township of Orford.  Here John Stone purhcased a bush farm, upon which he wrought and prospered, and died upon the same on November 16th 1877, in the eightieth year of his age.  His widow and one of his sons, A. J. Stone, are still living on the old homestead, near Highgate.

      "...were both Episcopalians, but soon after their marriage, became Methodists"  [10]
