Notes - "Samuel Stone's father was an inhabitant of Hertford. He was an Assistant Burgess of the Corporation [of Hertford, Hertfordshire] and was deprived of this position in October, 1637, because he had been absent from the Borough for one year. In the Month's Court Minutes of Hertford there is a comment that John Stone had 'lately gone beyond the seas and hath there seated and planted himself and his Familye...'" [A.G. Davies, “The Hertfordshire Background to Settlements in the Connecticut Valley,” in Doris Jones-Baker, ed., Hertfordshire in History: Papers Presented to Lionel Munby (Hatfield, Hertfordshire: University of Hertfordshire Press, 1991), quoted by Jesse Tarbert (citation details below)]
"Perhaps Samuel Stone's father was that John Stone of All Saints, draper, who is recorded selling land in Stapleford, Hertfordshire, on 19 August 1635, before John Stone first appears in Hartford, Connecticut. This John Stone appears in several records in Hartford, until 1640, when he is recorded giving land to Rev. Samuel Stone. Timothy Lester Jacobs suggests that 'Since John Stone apparently left no will, and there is no record of probate of his estate in Hartford (Connecticut), it is possible that he returned to England about 1640, but this is merely conjecture.' If this conjecture is indeed true, then perhaps Samuel's father is the 'John Stone, Draper,' who was recorded on 20 December 1641, as master in the apprenticeship of one 'John Stone of Hertford,' son of another 'John Stone Deceased.' More systematic examination of Hertford town records might prove fruitful." [Jesse Tarbert, citation details below]
