I am my own 24th cousin

Edward Plantagenent->de Clare->de Audley->de la Pole->Stapleton->Calthorpe->Drury->Waldegrave->Clopton->Perrin->Heard->Howell

Edward Plantagenent->Gray->Kynaston->Thornes->Littleton->Whittington->Bothum->Goslee->Freeney

Am I my own grandpa? Well….it’s not quite that bad, but my siblings and I are our own 24th cousins as our my parents are independently related to the same 23x great grandfather – Edward Plantagenent.

Just fun.

Darcy McKeough’s Stone Charts

Last November, just before Thanksgiving, I received an express delivery package from W. Darcy McKeough – our expert on the Stone line. The package contained 6 very large handwritten charts – the largest two being about 11 ft long! All were ledger sheets taped together. These draft charts represent the result of many many years of work and collectively contain details on 515 descendants of Laurence Stone. I believe Darcy is getting ever closer to his goal of publishing much of his research in book form.

After many keyboarding sessions, I have finally completed merging the data in the charts into my database so they may be viewed online. Here is a report of the complete list of Laurence Stone (b. 1745, England) descendants in our database:

Descendant List (Register format) for Laurence Stone

Once again, we owe Darcy a great debt for sharing his research so generously!
