• Notes

  An article about his great grandson, Thomas Stone, in "Representative Canadians - A Cyclopedia of Canadian Biography being chiefly men of the Time - 1886" says Laurence Stone was an Englishman: ".... Our subject's grandfather, Thomas Stone, and his grandmother, Elizabeth Cooper, were both born in the County Carlow, Ireland, and his great-grandfather, Lawrence Stone, was an Englishman." Per John R. Bradfield: "The Stones of Ireland may have been French Protestants, known as Huguenots who were persecuted during the reign of Louis XIV and emigrated to Holland, England and Ireland in 1680." "The Stones may have anglicized their name from La Roche after settlement in County Carlow, Ireland.  As protestants, they may not have felt very comfortable in Southern Ireland and, when trouble and hardship developed in the nineteenth century, they joined the European exodus to America" JSH note: - "La Roche" in French translates literally to "The Rock" in English.
