Spencer Stone was born on 3 Jun 1755 in Prince William County, Virginia and died on 1 Jan 1838 in Lincoln Co. KY.

During the Revolutionary War, Spencer Stone served as a Private in Captain Samuel Scott's Company of the Lincoln County, Virginia Militia (Lincoln County is now part of Kentucky).

In about 1777/1778, Spencer is believed to have been married in Culpeper County, Virginia to his first wife, Nancy "Sally" Smith. Nancy "Sally" Smith Stone (d/o Thomas Smith of Ireland and his wife, Mary Jackman) was born on 9 Sep 1757 in Virginia and died on 3 Jan 1813 in Lincoln Co. KY.

Sally was the mother of nine children with Spencer, all of whom were born in Lincoln County, Kentucky except for their first child, John Thomas Stone who was born in Virginia.
Children:
John Thomas Stone
Nancy "Sally" Stone
Mary "Polly" Stone
Thomas Allen Stone
Smith Thomas Stone
Elias Barbee Stone
Lucinda Stone
Caleb M Stone
Silas Hardin Stone

After the death of his first wife, Spencer Stone remained in Lincoln County for several years. In the fall of 1815, however, he moved to Scott County, Kentucky where his son, Elias Barbee, had settled sometime earlier. According to the records of the Dry Run Baptist Church in Scott County, Spencer Stone was admitted into membership there on the third Saturday in December 1815, and remained with that church until October of 1817. During the following year, 1818, Spencer moved back to Lincoln County, where he remained until his death.

Shortly before leaving Scott County, however, Spencer married for a second time to a woman named Anna (Christy) Lindsay, the daughter of Julius Christy and Agatha Barnett, and the widow of John Valentine Lindsay. Anna (Christy) Lindsay was the mother of Catherine Houston Lindsay who had married Spencer's son, Elias, in Scott County in about 1814. There were no issue from Spencer's second marriage. Although some of Spencer's children eventually moved to Indiana and other parts of Kentucky, he and his wife remained in Lincoln County. Spencer Stone subsequently died on 1 January 1838 in that part of Lincoln County that was later made a part of Boyle County in 1842. Shortly after Spencer passed away, Anna moved to Fayette County, Indiana to be closer to some of her children from her previous marriage to John Valentine Lindsay. Anna died in Fayette County, Indiana in 1844.
