Surname Saturday ~ STONE of Beverly, Massachusetts


STONE

John Stone (about 1595 – about 1670) arrived in Massachusetts in 1635 on board the ship Elizabeth,  with his two sons by his first wife, and with his second wife and her four Haskell children (including William Haskell (1618 – 1693) my 9th great grandfather in another lineage).    They settled in Beverly, near the head of the Bass River near the present day Cummings Center (formerly the United States Shoe Machinery Company).  

John Stone ran the ferry across the Bass River from Beverly to Salem until 1639.  He removed to Beverly sometime before 1662, and was one of the founding members of the Beverly church in 1667.  His son, Nathaniel (about 1632 – 1718), my 8th great grandfather, was a constable in Salem in 1667 and was a freeman in 1668.  He died intestate in 1718.   I descend from his two eldest sons, John (1661 – 1736) and Nathaniel (1663 – 1741)- my 7th great grandfathers (see below).

  1. Another common ancestor - we are distant cousins in so many ways. I love all your posts but especially those where we share a common ancestor.
