John Stone, the son of Nathaniel Stone and Remember Corning, was born 20 April 1661 in Salem, Massachusetts. He was married first to Hester Gaines, second to Sarah Gale, and third to Jane (Stacy) Standley.  John Stone was a weaver.  He died non compos mentis, but left a will and an appointed guardian John Cleaves.  I descend from his marriage with Sarah Gale, through his daughter Susanna Stone (1702 - 1751) who married Randall Preston.  

I also descend from John Stone's brother, Nathaniel Stone (1663 - 1741) who married Mary Balch in 1689 in Beverly. 

John Stone had ten children with his wife Sarah Gale:  Priscilla (b. 1690), Edmond (b. 1691), Edmond (b. 1692), Sarah (b. 1693), Miriam (b. 1695), Eunice (b. 1696), Ambrose (b. 1698), Susanna (b. 1702), Remember (b. 1704), and Charity (b. 1700).   He had three children with his first wife, Hester Gaines:  Esther (b. 1684), John (b. 1686), and Mary (b. 1689).   He had no children with his third wife.
