Final Account: 2361 £ 19 shillings 5 pence. Proved on Jun 9, 1778 by Messrs Thomas Stone and John Hoskins Stone, surviving admors of afd David Stone.

David Stone, son of Thomas, was born during the year 1709 at "Poynton Manor", Charles County, Maryland. It is generally said that he married first Sarah, the daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Story) Hanson. Sarah was born July 29, 1714, at the head of Port Tobacco Creek, according to court records. In research among public documents, however, no data have been unearthed to verify the tradition of this marriage. Sarah died before her parents, and it is noted that her father by his will of 1741 failed to provide for any children of his daughter Sarah, nor did the mother by her will of 1764.

A child by the first marriage of David was given the name of Samuel (q.v.)--and this fact lends only a mere slender thread to the conclusion that his first wife was a daughter of Samuel Hanson, of Littleworth Plantation. It is probable that David Stone had other children by his first marriage, because Mme. Catherine Stone in her will of 1750 named David, Mary, and Anne--all children of David Stone--and it is reasonable to assume that at one time or another he named a son David. Inasmuch as David Sr. died intestate and the distribution of his estate fails to show the living representatives, it is not known whether these three children were alive in that year or not.

By 1739 David Stone had become a widower and had married secondly Elizabeth, daughter to Dr. Daniel Jenifer, of Charles County.
