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.

CORNING

Samuel Corning (1616 – 1693), my 9^th great grandfather,  is not found in newer books like Hollick’s New Englanders in the 1600s, nor is he in the Great Migration series.    He can be found in Frederick Adams Virkus’s The Compendium of American Genealogy, First Families of America, which was produced in 7 volumes between 1925 and 1942.  There are mentions of him in Beverly town records and in written histories of Beverly, Massachusetts.

According to Virkus’s book,  Samuel Corning arrived in Salem by 1638 and he settled with his family in Beverly where he was a freeman on 2 June 1641.  He held many town offices, such as selectman, collector of rate, and was a founder of the Beverly church in 1656.  There are many references to “Ensign Samuel Corning” in the records.  According to the Corning Family Association website, he lived in Wramplingham before immigrating to Massachusetts, and he served in the militia there.  However, I’ve found no proof of Samuel’s origins or parentage or any other information on his ancestry.

In 1685 Samuel Corning was granted the administration of John Kettell’s will.  Later, when Samuel’s first wife, Elizabeth, died in 1688, he remarried to John Kettell’s widow, also named Elizabeth.  This second wife, Elizabeth Allen, is the daughter of my 9^th great grandfather, William Allen (1602 – 1678) and his second wife, another Elizabeth.  I descend from William Allen’s son Samuel Allen, from his first wife, Alice Norman.

Samuel’s daughter, Remember Corning (1640 – 1715) married Nathaniel Stone sometime  before 1659 when their first child was born.  There is a house built by her brother, Samuel Corning, about 1700 still standing on Hull Street in Beverly, Massachusetts.   This house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

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 9^th 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 8^th 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 7^th great grandfathers (see below).
