SOME STONES WHO ROLLED TO TEXAS
By Colonel Theodore A. Fuller
(Continued from Page 120, September, 1967, STIRPES:)
One cousin, Mildred Stovall, who as a widow called herself
"Malinda," had marriedHenry Aycock, another former Wilkes County,
Georgia, resident. The Aycocks had a daughter Pamelia who in
1836 was about 18 years old. (Pamelia was also written "Permelia"
and Permela.") In that year the forty year old Edmund Stone
married this young second cousin. (For Pamelia's lineage, see
STIRPES, IV-2:64.)
Edmund's younger brother, John Stone, born in 1803, was at
the age of twenty-one in Georgia, quite a land owner. The 1824
tax records show that he owned over 1400 acres in four counties.
We assume that most of this was the result of speculation in
Georgia lottery land. (See Wilkes County, Georgia, Tax List in
the Department of Archives & History, Atlanta.)
The northern Alabama lands opened up for sale in 1822 and
John probably having profited in his land ventures in Georgia,
moved in the mid-twenties to Morgan County, Alabama. There he
continued to buy land until 1834. In that year, however, John
and Orra J. Stone, his wife, sold out everything in Morgan County,
Alabama. (Morgan County, Alabama, Deed Records show sales.) They
moved to some other place in Alabama where they lived until 1840.
By 1841, they were living in Mississippi. By 1846, the John
Stones were in Panola County, Texas;(The 1850 Census of Panola
County, Texas, shows children born in Alabama as late as 1840.
The county of birth has not been determined. One child was born
in Mississippi in 1841, and remaining children were born in Texas.)
While we know that the Morgan County, Alabama, lands were
sold at a profit, we do not know how the other purchases and sales
were handled. In Panola County, however, John seems to have done
well until shortly before his death in 1854. He owned property in
both Panola and Rusk Counties, Texas.
