ALLEN, BONES, STONE posted by Erin Briggs on Thursday, July 6, 2000

Looking for James Stone born 1816 abt. in KY. First wife Elizabeth had 12 children. Second wife Rhoda ALLEN had several children in MO before moving on to CA in 1859 or 1860. One son was also named James. James J. Stone born Oct. 9,1833. I think he stayed in MO when the family left for CA. I believe the Stones knew the Bones Family in MO and settled in Sonoma County, CA too. Thank you, Erin
