Beginnings by Cleadie B. Barnett
Joshua Stone & Chleo (Morehouse)
Joshua Stone received land with those who served with the New York Volunteers, and I believe he was the husband of Chleo Stone, daughter of Daniel and Mary Morehouse, who also received land near Joshua.

STONE - Two brothers, James and William. The former was a colonel in the service of King James at the siege of Londonderry. The later, a clergyman of the Church of England, was one of the Puritan Fathers who landed from the Mayflower on Plymouth Rock, in 1620. He settled in Connecticut, where his tombstone may still be seen, bearing witness to the above history. He left one son, Samuel, whose children were: Ezekiel, who married Miss Seeley; Ebenezer, unknown; Eben, Diana Finney; Mehetable, Mr. Hodgson. Eber came to St. John from Lloyd's Neck, in 1783. Here he loaned the sum of two thousand pounds, which he had the misfortune never to recover. He also lost his grant by the name being spelled Ebenezer, as it still appears in Sabine. In 1790 he moved to the Grand Lake and settled on the farm now owned and occupied by James Olmstead, where he built the first frame house on that lake. This house was taken down by Mr. Olmstead recently (1875) and the timbers were found to be sound as when first erected. Mr. Stone died in 1836, aged eighty-nine, and was interred in Marshall Cemetery. His children were: Rachel, who married Arthur VanDine, son of Captain VanDine of Queen's County, New York, one of the Addressers of Lieutenant Colonel Sterling in 1779; Ezekiel. - maternal grandfather of the writer - who married Phoebe Gunter; Joseph Finney, who married Ruth Olmstead. John, son of Ezekiel, Postmaster at Maquapit Lake and a Justice of the Peace for Queen's County, is the only member of the family now living in Queen's.
