John Hoskins Stone, son of David and Elizabeth (Jenifer) Stone, was born during the year 1745 in Durham Parish, Charles County, Maryland.
During June and July 1776 he was active in the formation of the Flying Camp to relieve or to drive the British from New York and as a reward for his services he was commissioned a captain of a company composed of men from Charles County. Under the command of Colonel William Smallwood his company participated in the battles of Long Island and White Plains during the autumn of that year.
The Flying Camp was disbanded in Philadelphia early in December, and Captain Stone returned to his seat at "Poynton Manor" shortly before Christmas. He continued active in the cause and during the early part of 1777 as captain he assisted in the formation of the First Maryland Regiment. At its ultimate organization he was granted the colonelcy and commanded his regiment at the battle of Princeton and later at the battle of Germantown, where he was severely wounded. As a result of his injuries he was forced to resign his commission on August 1, 1779.
On February 15, 1781, in Anne Arundel County, Colonel Stone secured license to wed Anne Couden.
Children of John and Anne (Couden) Stone
1. Couden Stone, died young.
2. Anne Stone married John Turner.
3. Elizabeth Stone, born Aug. 30, 1783, married Feb. 8, 1808, Nathaniel Pope, son of Gerard and Jenny (Rowe) Causine.
4. Robert Couden Stone married July 27, 1805, Mary Mann, of Annapolis.
5. Thomas Sone
In 1779 he purchased from William McConchie and Elizabeth his wife, "Watson's Purchase" to which Elizabeth was entitled as dower in the estate of her late husband James Muncaster. On September 4, 1786, he added further to his estate by the purchase from Roger Fowke land in Durham Parish called "Burdett's Rest", beginning at the head of Burdett's Creek and running to Nanjemoy Warehouse. A few days later
he bought another portion of "Burdett's Rest" of 215 acres from Sarah Fowke who described herself as the relict of Captain Gerard Fowke.
Colonel Stone was a charter member of the Society of the Cincinnati and had the distinction of being elected the third president of the Maryland chapter. He was also one of the early State Governors of Maryland.
The wife of John Hoskins Stone died on March 4, 1793, at the age of 32 years. A notice of her decease appeared in the Maryland Gazette. He died at Annapolis early in October 1804. The American of October 14, stated, "Died on Friday last General J. H. Stone after a long and painful illness".
