IN RE: EZEKIEL STONE
S. 1933 BA-JIMLB

Dear Sir, - 

Your letter of the 28th ultimo, giving me the complete Revolutionary War history of my great-great grandfather, Ezekiel Stone, was very much appreciated, and although the place
of his birth and date are different from those of our family records the other information leaves no doubt in my mind but that he is the right Ezekiel Stone. Did your records give any date of his death.
And now I would like very much to have some authentic on William Stone, the son of Ezekiel. From a book which I ran across last summer while in Chattanooga I copied the following information, -
"William Stone, son of Ezekiel Stone was born in Sevier County, when that county was part of North Carolina. He married Mary Randall of a prominent family in Maryland. William Stone was a Captain in the Creek War and was elected Brevet-Brigadier General for gallantry at the Battle of the Horse Shoe. He served with
General Jackson in the Louisiana Campaign and was present at the Battle of New Orleans. He was elected to Congress in 1836 and reelected in 1838. He died in 1853. For bravery at the Battle of Tippacanoe [Tippecanoe] he was presented with a cane by Congress ".
Any help that you can give me about William Stone, his personal or war history will be greatly appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Mary E. Stone [Signature]

P. S.
The Richard W. Stone, to whom you referred in the last paragraph of your letter was probably a son of Ezekiel, as our records indicate he had a son by that name. Do you suppose the records of Capt. John Hoskins Stone would disclose any information which would
lead to establishing the relationship of Capt. Stone and Ezekiel?

Dear Sir, -

EZEKIEL STONE DELPHI TENNESSEE
REVOLUTIONARY WAR PENSIONER

I am most anxious to learn something of my great great grandfather, Ezekiel Stone, born in Charles County, Maryland, in 1760. He enlisted in the Revolutionary War, though only
16 years of age and served until the close of the conflict. In a letter dated Washington City, December 10, 1837, written by my great-grandfather, William Stone, Congressman
from Tennessee from 1836 to 1840 ) he said that he had that day turned over to Mr. J. L. Edwards, Pension Agent, his father's pension papers, and that Mr. Edwards had examined the papers and informed him that he would order Mr. King, Pension Agent in Tenn.
to pay the pension. Would it be possible for those papers to be examined to learn something of Ezekiel Stone's family history?
One family history states that Ezekiel was the youngest brother of Thomas Stone, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and
Capt. John Hoskins Stone of Revolutionary War fame, and 8th Governor of Maryland, while another history claims that Ezekiel Stone was a
first cousin of the aforementioned Stones. We are most anxious to clear up this point, and would be very grateful for any information
the pension papers might disclose.
Assuring you of my appreciation of your assistance in this matter, I am,

Yours faithfully,
Mary E. Stone [Signature]
