Stone (1), was born in England in 1631 and came to America with his parents and their family in 1635. He settled in Watertown, where he was a dis- tinguished citizen. He was often elected town clerk, indicating that he was a man of some education, and selectman, indicating that he was a man of some force of character and of property. He was deputy to the general court in 1678-79-80-81-82-83- 84-86-89-90, and during those years was one of the foremost men of the town. He died February 27, 1707-08, aged seventy-seven years.

(III) Deacon Simon Stone, son of Simon Stone (2), was born at Watertown. Massachusetts, Au- gust 18 or 19. 1656. He died December 19, 1741, at Groton. He and his brother John settled in Gro- ton, Massachusetts. John had a son John, Jr., born September 23. 1699, and son James, born January 23, 1701, and probably Joseph, all three of whom set- tled in Groton and had families there.

Dr. Green says of Simon Stone: "This has been a common name for nearly two centuries and the families bearing it have lived in the south part of the town. Deacon Simon Stone was an original proprietor, owning an eighteen-acre right. He was the eldest of the children of Deacon Simon and Mary ( Whipple) Stone. of Watertown. Perhaps he was the person referred to by Mather's ( Mag- nalia ( VII 74), who was severely wounded by the Indians July 4, 1690, at Exeter." The story of the wounds as told in the Magnalia seem incredible. He was wounded by bullets in nine places and left for dead. When the Indians came to strip his body they struck him with a hatchet twice to cut off his head. but the British soldiers were heard coming and he was left unscalped. When his fellow-soldiers found him he was not dead, so they placed him in a canoe and took him to a safe place, where he finally recovered fully. Simon was often chosen town officer and on important committees of the church, and served as deacon for many years. He was often selectman. The epitaph on Deacon Stone's gravestone is: "Here lies the body of Deacon Simon Stone who departed this life December 19. A. D. 1741, aged eighty-five years, three months and cleven days. Died 1741." He married Sarah - and all their children were born at Groton, except the first two. Simon and John. Their children: John, born 1690; Simon. Jr., about 1692: Susanna.

Massachusetts, where he lived all the remainder of his days, although his section of the town was set off as Harvard, and he was a prominent citizen of the new town. He was the leader in the move- ment to have Harvard set of, and the general court recognized him as the first citizen of the town by ordering him to summon the first town meeting, June 30, 1732. He was at that meeting elected moderator and a member of the first board of selectman. He served the new town in many of- fices and on many committees. He was on the com- mittee to build the meeting house in 1729 and to invite the minister to settle-Rev. John Seccomb. He was one of the first deacons of the church with Joseph Fairbanks, Jonathan Whitney and Joseph

Haskell. He died in 1746, leaving an estate valued at 508 pounds. The history of Harvard calls hin "the foremost citizen."
