John Stone, the son of Spencer Stone and his first wife, Nancy "Sally" Smith, was born on 24 March 1779, possibly in Culpeper County, Virginia. He was later married on 12 October 1799 to a woman named Sally Gains in Mercer County, Kentucky. Sally, who had been born on 12 March 1782 in Kentucky, was the daughter of William Gains and Ann Strother. Shortly after their marriage, John and Sally settled on a farm in Lincoln County, Kentucky, where they appear to have resided for the remainder of their lives.

John, who died in Lincoln County, Kentucky on 1 February 1859, was subsequently buried in the Hopton Cemetery on the Crab Orchard Road in Lincoln County. His will, which was written on 26 May 1857, was submitted for probate before the Lincoln County Court on 7 February 1859. Sally, on the other hand, died in Boyle County, Kentucky on 16 June 1861. She was residing with her daughter, Sarah (Stone) Boling, at the time.

In John's will, he specifically mentions having a grandson named John W. Stone. Because the grandchildren of John Thomas Stone, Sr. have been fairly well documented, there appears to be only two possibilities which might account for John W. Stone. One being that he was the son of the (male) child listed as number 16 below, and two, that he was the first child of John Thomas Stone, Jr. and Mary Baughman and died prior to 1860. At the present time, however, little weight is given to the first possibility, and I know of no way to verify the second possibility. As a consequence, no additional information will be presented regarding John W. Stone.
