Thomas went with his family to Hampshire/Hardy Co. In 1788, in the adjacent Jefferson Co., he married Barbara Wise. She was a 19 yr old neighbor (father Christopher Wise) He was 21.
Thomas received land in Prince William Co. from his grandfather (Thomas Stone) but never settled there. On 22 Apr 1791, he received a grant for 248 acres in Hardy Co. on the Lost River of Great Cacapehon, including Three Licks on the waters of Bakers Run. Thomas and Barbara lived there for twelve years. Nine of their children were born there. Some tragedy, likely disease, struck the family in August of 1800 as ten year old Rebecca, eight year old Mary and seven year old Margaret all died that month. Then, like his father before him, Thomas moved his family west. Thomas and Barbara arrived in Ohio in 1803, the same year that Ohio became a state.
The land that Thomas and Barbara eventually settled on was in that area known as the United States Military District, located in the central part of the state. In Nov 1806, Thomas bought 500 acres of the north half of SW 1000 acres in Range 13 Twnsp 1 Sec 4 for $750 from Abraham Kinney of NJ.
This part of Fairfield Co. became Licking Co. in 1808. In 1809, Thomas and Barbara sold 98 acres of their land to his parents, James and Rebeckah, for $100 and 150 acres of it to his brother George for $60.
FROM REMARKS FOUND IN N.N. HILL'S HISTORY OF LICKING COUNTY:
Thomas and George Stone came to Union Township from Jefferson Co., VA in 1803. They were both men of good morals and useful members of the church. George was a member of the first Methodist and Thomas of the first Baptist societies of the township. It may be worth noting that nearly all of these early settlers, both male and female, were expert in the use of the rifle, and some of the men were "professional hunters" who devoted much of their time to the chase, especially in the fall and winter when the flesh and skins of wild animals were most valuable. Among these may be named Thomas (distinguished as a bear hunter), sometimes killing as many as eight or twelve in a season. These men were seldom seen at anytime, even at church, without their rifle. Some of them did not feel fully dressed until their hunter's belt was buckled around them and the shot pouch and powder horn hung over their shoulders.
Thomas was a good farmer and fair business man and accumulated property. The 1847 Licking Co. land owner map shows Thomas had land in Union Twsp west of Luray, just north of the National Pike. A creek ran through the land. Thomas also owned land on the Granville-Lancaster Pike just north of Luray with two farms on the east side of the road. At this time, this possibly would have been near the County Home land and not too far from the Baptist Church.
A biographical sketch on Thomas's grandson Sylvester Stone, who lived on his grandfathers's land, said that Grandfather Stone as a Deacon of the Baptist Church and the preferences of the descendants have in that direction ever since.
No will has been found for Thomas, but an Administrator's Bond for the estate was filed 13 Mar 1847 for $3000.00 with William Stone and Robert Fristoe(Administrators). This was followed by the following petition filed in the Court of Common Pleas: Licking Co, Common Pleas Court Petition Vols C 1845-1856, page 135, May Term,1848, that on the 13th day of November AD, 1847 was filed the following petition: Petitioners James Stone, William Stone, Elizabeth Channel and Samuel Stone, residents of Licking Co., and Caleb Randall and Sarah Randall (his wife) and Henry Wagy and Ellen (his wife) and George Stone and John Stone, residents of State of Missouri, represent that the said James, William, Elizabeth, Samuel, Sarah, Ellen, George and John are each and every one of them seized in fee simple of and have a legal right to one undivided ninth part of the same real estate, of Thomas Stone. The said widow, Barbara is entitled to dower rights. Located in 4th quarter of Township #1 Rg. 13 of US Military 213 acres real estate sold for $5095.00 to Thomas Stone 12 Apr 1848. Barbara Rec'd as her dower rights 71 acres 24 Mar 1848. Estate was valued at $5100.00. Attorneys Mathiot and Buckingham received $75.00. Money was divided equally between the following: James Stone, William Stone, Elizabeth Channel, Samuel Stone, Sarah Randall, Ellen Wagy, George Stone, John Stone and Thomas Stone.
Note: On Dec 11 2000 my brother received a confirmation letter from Richard Niccum, Program Coordinator of the Licking Park District, Granville, Ohio. In it he confirmed that Thomas and Barbra Stone were buried in the Licking County Home Cemetery located on Union Station Road, Ohio. Thomas died one month shy of his 80th birthday. Barbara was 78 when she died.
