Reliance Stone was born in Guilford on 24 Sep 1712, married Abraham Bradley, and died 1 April 1757, according to "Stone connections: a more complete genealogy of the Stone family." She was the daughter of William Stone and Sarah Hatch.

Her birth and death dates and marriage to Abraham Bradley are also recorded in Families of Early Guilford, Connecticut, Vol. II. Abraham and Reliance were married by James Hooker, J. P., according to New England Historical and Genealogical Register Volume 57,1903.

Their 8 children were all born in Guilford including son Leaming whose first name was his grandmother Jane's maiden name. Others were Sarah, Abraham III, Hannah, Lucy, Beata, Peleg and Thomas.

After her death, her husband Abraham Bradley II moved to Litchfield, Litchfield County, Connecticut, but he is not buried there nor was his will probated there. Sons Peleg, Abraham III and Leaming also moved to Litchfield, Abraham III by 1763, Leaming about 1769 with wife Anna and several children including Aaron who served in the Revolutionary War.

Reliance was likely buried at the first burial ground at Guilford, located at what is now the Village Green. This was the town's common burial ground until the early 1800s when the tombstones were removed.
