At a court appointed 1651, Thomas Straite acknowledged that he had received his wife Elizabeth's share of her father's estate. John Randall also acknowledged that he had received Susanna's share.

In Bond's Watertown three more children are given as belonging to Henry. This careless error is also found in Savage's Dictionary. They were the children of Henry and Mary (Wyatt) Kimball of Wenham, Mass., as shown by the Watertown records. This Henry Kimball2 was the son of Richard Kimball1, and for some time after he was married he lived in Watertown, Mass. After the birth of these three children he moved to Ipswich and then to Wenham, Mass.

APPENDIX II.

SKETCH OF REV. ELIAB STONE, OF NORTH READING.
IT is proper to preface this sketch with some notices of his AMERICAN ANCESTRY.

The name of STONE is very common in New England. Most of those who bear the name are the descendants of two brothers, who early came to this country and settled in the colony of Massachusetts. Simon, the elder, settled in Watertown; Gregory, who was five years younger, lived and died in Cambridge. Both were respectable men; both were selectmen in their respective towns; both were deacons. Both took the freemen's oath the same day, May 25, 1636; which is sufficient proof that they were then church members. Simon embarked at Ipswich, Eng., for America, April 15, 1635, in the ship Increase, with his family, being then fifty years of age. It is highly probable that his brother Gregory came with him.

The remainder of this sketch relates to Gregory Stone and his descendants.

First Generation.

GREGORY STONE1, born in England, 1590, came to this country, without doubt, in 1635, being then 45 years of age. He lived in Cambridge, on the west side of the Common, near the College, not far from the Botanic Garden, and not far from Mount Auburn. He was a deacon of the First Church, and the last survivor of its original members. He was also a magistrate, and deputy to the General Court. He owned a good farm, in Cambridge, and another in what is now Lexington, formerly the north precinct of Cambridge. He also owned land in Watertown, which he sold to the agent of Thomas Boylston, in 1639.

He married in England the widow Lydia Cooper, who had, by a former husband, a son and daughter, John and Lydia Cooper, who came to America with their mother.

Dea. Gregory Stone died Nov. 30, 1672. His wife Lydia died June 24, 1674.
His will, which is the foundation of all our knowledge of the genealogy of his descendants, may be found in the Genealogical Register, Vol. viii. p. 69, furnished by his descendant, William F. Stone, of Cambridge. His children were--

1. Elizabeth2, perhaps the oldest child, and born in England; married (???) Potter, and settled in Ipswich.
2. (+) John2, born in England, about 1619; married Anne How.
3. Daniel2, was a "chirurgeon," first in Cambridge, then in Boston.
4. David2, settled on the west side of his father's farm in the north precinct of Cambridge, afterwards Lexington. The spot is now in the edge of Lincoln, and part of it is still in the possession of his descendants. Gregory Stone was living in the old homestead a few years since.

5. Sarah2, born in England, 1633; married, July 12, 1653, Joseph Meriam, of Concord, who died in 1677, aged 47. She lived with the children of her brother Samuel in Lexington, and died there April 8, 1704, a. 71.

6. Samuel2, the youngest child, was born in the early part of 1635, just before the family left England. He married, June 7, 1655, Sarah Stearns, born Sept. 22, 1635, daughter of Isaac Stearns, of Watertown. He lived in Lexington, about a mile east of his brother David, in the centre of the farm formerly owned by their father. He took a leading part in the settlement of Lexington, was one of the deacons of the infant church there, and died Sept. 27, 1715, aged 80 years and 7 months. For his descendants, see Bond's Watertown Genealogies, p. 521 et seq.

Second Generation.

JOHN STONE2, eldest son of Dea. Gregory Stone, born in England about 1619; married ANNE How, daughter of Edward and Margaret How. Edward How was one of the largest original proprietors of Watertown; Selectman of that town 1637 and four following years; and deputy to the General Court, 1642, 1643.

John Stone was one of the early proprietors of Sudbury, and had several grants of land there. He bought lands of the Indians at the Falls of Sudbury River, which were confirmed to him by the General Court in 1656. He had a romantic and beautiful situation on the banks of that river, near the outlet of Cochituate Lake, where is now the beautiful village of Saxonville. His house stood on the site now occupied by the station-house of the Saxonville Railroad. He went there and settled among the Indians, when all around was a perfect wilderness. In 1655 he was town clerk. He was "elder" or deacon of the church in Sudbury, and was known indifferently as "elder" and "deacon" John Stone.

His will is dated 16. 2. 1683, that is, April 16, 1683, and was proved 12. 4. 1683, i. e., June 12, 1683. It may be found in the Genealogical Register, viii. 145. He was then, as he says, of Cambridge, aged about 64. His wife Ann was then living, and was made sole executrix of the will. The four sons and six daughters, whose names follow, are particularly mentioned and provided for. From the language of the will, it appears that the oldest son, John, was of feeble intellect, and incapable of taking care of himself. The second son, Daniel, was to have the care of John and of the property left to John during his natural life. He had, it is said, twelve children, of whom the will gives the names of ten, as follow--

John3, non compos.
Hannah3, married (???) Bent.
Mary3, married (???) Fox.
Daniel3, born Aug. 31, 1644; married, 1st, Mary Ward; 2d, Abigail Wheeler; 3d, Ruth Haynes.
David3.
Elizabeth3, married (???) Stow.
Margaret3, married (???) Brown.
Tabitha3, married (???) Rice.
Sarah3, married (???) Hill.
Nathaniel3.

His posterity have been numerous in Sudbury, Framingham and that vicinity.

Third Generation.

DANIEL STONE3, the eldest son of Elder John Stone2, born in Sudbury, Aug. 31, 1644; married, 1st, Nov. 22, 1667, MARY (MOORE) WARD, daughter of John Moore, of Sudbury, and widow of Richard Ward of the same town. She died June 10, 1703. He married, 2d, Feb. 8, 1703-4, ABIGAIL WHEELER, who died Oct. 28, 1711; and 3d, Nov. 18, 1712, RUTH HAYNES, of Sudbury. He was a deacon of the church in Sudbury, and Selectman of Framingham, 1700, two years. Children, all by first wife, Mary--

Daniel4, born Nov. 22, 1668; married Patience Brown.
Anne4.
Tabitha4.
Sarah4.
Mary4.
Elizabeth4.
Abigail4.
John4.

Fourth Generation.

DANIEL STONE4, eldest son of Dea. Daniel and Mary Stone; born in Sudbury, Nov. 22, 1668; married PATIENCE BROWN, born 1669, daughter of Thomas Brown, of Sudbury. She died Nov. 13, 1722, aged 53.

He lived in Framingham; was Selectman and Town Treasurer of that town; and died Dec. 22, 1702, aged 34.

His children were--
Priscilla5.
Beulah5.
Keziah5.
Micah5, born March 11, 1699; married Abigail Stone.
Lois5.
