| Thomas Wesley Stone |
![]()
Thomas Wesley Stone was born 04 March 1814 in South Carolina. He married Mrs. Ellen Stafford the former Ellen Bryant1 before 1840. She was born between 1806 - 1811 in Florida or Pulaski County, Georgia.
Wesly Stone was enumerated in the 1840 census in Barbour County, Alabama which was created from Creek Indian territory and a portion of Pike County on 18 Dec. 1832. Members of his household were: 1 male and female born 1811 - 1820 and 2 males born 1836 - 1840. He had 1 male slave age 10 but under 24; a total of 5 persons accounted for: 2 employed in manufactures and trade. The ages of the older male and female would account for our Wesley and Ellen Stone and the young males their twin son: Christopher and John M. Stone. A puzzle is the whereabouts of Ellen's Stafford children when this census accounted for the members of the Stone household. Wesly was the only Stone listed in Barbour County in the 1840 census and we do not find any Staffords.
The 1850 Southern District, Henry County, Alabama census is the only time I find our Wesley listed as Thomas Stone and his wife listed as Elenor. Christopher and John M. Stone were listed as 19 years old indicating they were twins and Christopher's CSA records indicate he was born in 1840. Wesley and Ellen had seven children born before 1 June 1850. They were the only Stones enumerated in the Henry County census.
Wesley and Ellen Stone were in Hilliardsville, Henry County, Alabama when the 1860 census was taken. They had eight children. Wesley Stone's total asset value was set at $50,100.
Wesley Stone enlisted as a private in Captain Joseph Guilford's Company of the Home Guard Henry County Reserves.
