Jeanne Barton,
I was confused when I saw the Tucker/Daynes post on St Marys page. So I went back and checked my reasoning for believing Mary Stone was the wife of Robert Doyne of Charles Co. William Stone married Verlinda Graves (she may not have been his first wife.) In her will of 1676, which was presented by Sheriff Benjamin Rozer. She leaves property to Benony Thomas called St Verlindas and some silver spoons, to daughter Doyen her silver salt cellers. Son John is the executor and to have possession of the property until Benony comes of age. So Benony was a minor. The property was to revert to John upon the death of Benony. I need to do the land records on this. Mary Stone was first married to a John Thomas of Stafford co VA and when Benony died in 1711, he left land in Stafford co VA to his wife Catherine. Mary married Robert Doyne of Charles co and predeseased her husband, as at his death he was married to Ann Burford.
I have found no will for Robert, but his Administration and Inventories are in the MD Archives (need to send for these) and he names Benoni Thomas as his stepson (where?), and also William Stone.
Mary and Robert had 6 children, who are named in an Indenture Nov 20 1705
folio 172 PG co, Wharton, William, Sarah,Verlinda, Eleanor and Mary.
Apparently only three daughters survived to inherit his landed holdings.
Sarah married Wm Hutchinson and is mentioned in the will of her Aunt Anne Doughty (Prer Ct Wills 4 pp210-211,15 July 1683) Anne was a sister to Verlinda Stone.
Verlinda married Samuel Taylor
Mary married Nicholas Dawson, in her will 14 Dec 1734 (L21/313 PG co) she left land inherited fom her father to her sons: John who married Martha Marbury, Thomas married Elizabeth Lowe, William no further knowledge, George married Eleanor Lowe and Nicholas married Sarah Edelen.
William Calvert refers to Robert Doyne as brother, saying he might have what lands he wanted and William was married to Mary's sister Elizabeth Stone.
And although this isn't exactly proof my ancestor Thomas Dawson named his first son Benoni, and a daughter Verlinda, there was also a Mary and a Robert Doyne. These names were used through the generations.
Nicholas Dawson asked permission to patent land that was given to Robert Doyne and he did so in what is now Montgomery Co MD, it was called Mothers Delight, it is still farmed by one of his descendents, whose name is Benoni.
I would like to send for the record that named Marie Stone as being married to Tucker and Dayen, I am not familiar with VA records, would this be in the archives or in Norfolk? I like to look at the actual records ever since some transcribed the wrong first name for an ancestor and I searched for the wrong person for years.
Anyone else have anything on this who is the real Mary Stone question?

Son John is the executor and to have possession of the property until Benony comes of age. So Benony was a minor. The property was to revert to John upon the death of Benony. I need to do the land records on this. Mary Stone was first married to a John Thomas of Stafford co VA and when Benony died in 1711, he left land in Stafford co VA to his wife Catherine. Mary married Robert Doyne of Charles co and predeseased her husband, as at his death he was married to Ann Burford.
I have found no will for Robert, but his Administration and Inventories are in the MD Archives (need to send for these) and he names Benoni Thomas as his stepson (where?), and also William Stone.
Mary and Robert had 6 children, who are named in an Indenture Nov 20 1705
folio 172 PG co, Wharton, William, Sarah,Verlinda, Eleanor and Mary.
Apparently only three daughters survived to inherit his landed holdings.
Sarah married Wm Hutchinson and is mentioned in the will of her Aunt Anne Doughty (Prer Ct Wills 4 pp210-211,15 July 1683) Anne was a sister to Verlinda Stone.
Verlinda married Samuel Taylor
Mary married Nicholas Dawson, in her will 14 Dec 1734 (L21/313 PG co) she left land inherited fom her father to her sons: John who married Martha Marbury, Thomas married Elizabeth Lowe, William no further knowledge, George married Eleanor Lowe and Nicholas married Sarah Edelen.
William Calvert refers to Robert Doyne as brother, saying he might have what lands he wanted and William was married to Mary's sister Elizabeth Stone.
And although this isn't exactly proof my ancestor Thomas Dawson named his first son Benoni, and a daughter Verlinda, there was also a Mary and a Robert Doyne. These names were used through the generations.
Nicholas Dawson asked permission to patent land that was given to Robert Doyne and he did so in what is now Montgomery Co MD, it was called Mothers Delight, it is still farmed by one of his descendents, whose name is Benoni.
I would like to send for the record that named Marie Stone as being married to Tucker and Dayen, I am not familiar with VA records, would this be in the archives or in Norfolk? I like to look at the actual records ever since some transcribed the wrong first name for an ancestor and I searched for the wrong person for years.
Anyone else have anything on this who is the real Mary Stone question?
