STONE, Francis 1, the first of his family who settled in our neighborhood came to that part of New Braintree which was afterwards annexed to North Brook- field before 1742, when and where his son Francis was born. They were both in the French war ; the father was killed at Quebec under Gen. Wolfe in 1759. Francis, jr., being then but seventeen years of age and the eldest son of the family, was sent home to care for his widowed mother. The place occupied by them was the " tan-yard place," occupied successively by their descendants, and afterwards by Col. Pliny Nye, Charles A. Hibbard, James M. Haskins, and others. Children, Francis, b. 1742 2; Jonathan, b. 1751 3.
2. Francis, son of Francis 1 ; tanner and farmer. He was a man of great de- cision of character ; actively engaged with his father who was killed in the French war, and afterwards in the war of the Revolution, where 'he soon distinguished him- self, and was promoted to the rank of captain. He had the reputation in the ser- vice of being a brave and daring soldier, and a successful leader of scouting parties. It was probably on account of his character as an officer in the Revolutionary army that he was selected as a leader in the " Shays' Rebellion " to which he attached him- self, and in which he became very prominent, not only as a military leader, but also as chairman of their meetings and of the Committee of Correspondence, in which he manifested great ability as well as zeal; indeed, if there was any wisdom in coun- selling rebellion, he was one of the wisest counsellors in that ill-advised and ill- resulting movement. At the defeat and final dispersion of the rebel army at Petersham in Feb. 1787, he was among those who fled for refuge to the State of Vermont, where he remained until the decree of amnesty was issued by Gov. Han- cock, when he returned to his home and the occupations of peace. He always justified the rebellion, and never was heard to express any regret in relation to it, except at its failure. He m.

3. Jonathan, son of Francis 1, surveyor and farmer; was b. on the "tan-yard place," near Waite's Corner ; was S years old when his father was killed; means of education limited; he, however, learned surveying, which afterwards became of service to him ; was apprenticed to his elder brother, who was a farmer and tanner ; left before his term of service was out, and went on a two years' whaling voyage ; returned, and enlisted in the Revolutionary army, Col. Larned's regiment; was

made an orderly sergeant, and lieutenant, in 1776; was with Gen. Rufus Putnam at the siege of Boston, when he erected the fortifications which compelled the British to evacuate Boston. In Jan. 1777, he was commissioned paymaster in Gen. Put- nanı's regiment ; was at Saratoga and Stillwater, and under Gates at the surrender of Burgoyne. In 1778 he was at West Point ; in 1781 was made captain, in which rank he served to the end of the war. He then bought a farm in North Brookfield, which was then the home of Gen. Putnam, with whom, in 1786-7, he surveyed the lands in Maine, then belonging to Massachusetts ; was with the government troops in defence of the public stores in Springfield, against the Shays' Rebellion (when his brother, Capt. Francis, was with Shays). In or about 1788, he joined the "Ohio Company," and in that year went to Marietta to explore; 1789, July 4, he left Brookfield with his family, arriving at his new home at Belpre, O., near Marietta, in December of that year. They went with two ox-teams, with a large wagon, with cows for family use, and a horse for each of the ladies ; several other families being in their company. After crossing the mountains, they obtained a flat-boat, in which they went down the river to Belpre, where they built and lived in a log cabin, like all others of the new settlers. They had scarcely got settled in their new home when the Indian war broke out, and threatened destruction to their settlement. Nearly all were obliged to take refuge in the fort. Capt. Stone removed his family into "Farmer's Castle," the Belpre garrison, but afterwards, with his neighbors, erected four block-houses on his farm, moved into them, and remained till the war was over. Every man had to perform military duty in some capacity. A guard was kept constantly on duty. Sentinels, duly posted in the bastions at night, every half-hour called out the time, saying, "Look out sharp !" and were answered by all the others in turn, " All's well ;" doors and windows all made bullet-proof. Scouts continually searching the woods for Indians; all alternately laboring and keeping guard. Here Capt. Stone's military experience was of great advantage, and made him one of the most efficient defenders of the place. During this war, there were killed in the Ohio Company's settlement, and on the opposite shore of the Ohio, 38 persons, and Io taken prisoners. It is not known that more than 4 Indians were killed. Not till the peace of 1795 was the success of the settlement assured. After that they left the garrison, improved their farms, and opened up the country. Capt. Stone was appointed treasurer of Washington County by Winthrop Sargent, acting governor of the territory in 1792. He was also appointed by the territorial legis- lature in 1799, with Rufus Putnam and Benjamin Ives Gilman, to lay out the Uni- versity lands at Athens. He d. before this work was completed, Mar. 24, 1801. He was a member of the society or order of the "Cincinnati." He and every member of the settlement were stanch Federalists, and, in spite of the great efforts in favor of Jefferson, they were all firm adherents of Washington, with whom Capt. Stone, and several others of the company, had been associated in military camp life. His patriotism seemed to be inherited by his grandsons, no fewer than nine of them being in the late war against the Rebellion : of Benjamin F.'s sons, John in Ohio 39th, George N. in Ohio 73d, wounded at Bull Run, d. in hospital at Wash- ington ; Francis's son Edward in Ohio 39th; Samuel's son James in commissary department, with rank of captain, brevetted major at the close of the war. His service was in Missouri. Col. John had four sons in the war: Bradley B., in Ohio 92d, followed Sherman to the sea, was promoted to captain before he was dis- charged at the end of the war; Simon Bolivar, Augustus D., Jonathan F., all in 14Sth Ohio National Guards, were at City Point and Bermuda Hundred, where Simon Bolivar d. of malarial fever.
