pages 635-636, biography of Elias Stone, son of James Stone and Nancy Sedgwick:
"Elias Stone, deceased, who was a farmer and stock-grower, was born in Greensboro, Greene County, Penn.,
September 22, 1808. He was a son of James and Nancy (Sedgewick) Stone, who were natives of Greene County,
and descended from its earliest settlers. The history of the families on both sides shows them to have been
farmers, usually, and of Irish descent. Mr. Stone was the second in a family of eight children. He was
reared in Monongahela Township, this county, where he attended the subscription schools. He devoted his
business life to farming and the growing of fine stock. In 1833 he married Mary, daughter of Samuel and
Nancy (Lackey) Huston. Her parents were natives of Pennsylvania and of Irish descent. Mr. and Mrs. Stone
were the parents of three children, Lizzie, Nan and Fannie. The mother died in 1843. Mr. Stone was a
Republican in politics, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was twice married, and his widow
and two children, Frank and Amanda, survive him. He died in 1872."
