Biographical History
Lawyer, of Port Tobacco, Md.
Lawyer, of Port Tobacco (Charles Co.), Md.
Congregational minister, from Gardner (Worcester Co.), Mass.
Lawyer and Charles County, Maryland landowner.
Member of a distinguished family long active in the public life and politics of the state of Maryland.
William B[riscoe] Stone was born on April 13, 1797, in Charles County, Maryland. As an adult he practiced law in Charles County, and at one point was even considered by the U. S. Senate for a judgeship. In 1825 he married Sarah Anne Caroline Brown. William and Sarah had four children: Margaret Wade, Thomas, Mary, and Catherine. The family resided at an estate called "Haber de Venture," which passed to the children upon William's death on December 1, 1872. The property remained in the family until 1936, when financial difficulties forced the owner to sell.
Stone came from a long line of influential men who participated actively in public life and politics in the state of Maryland. Stone's paternal great-great-great-grandfather was William Stone (1603-1660), who served as Maryland's third Proprietary Governor. The Governor's son John held various public offices in Charles County, among them Gentleman Justice of the Quorom and Commissioner of the Peace. Michael Jenifer Stone (William Briscoe Stone's father) served as a lieutenant in the militia and later as a Delegate, a member of the Maryland Constitutional Congress, a Maryland Representative in the First United States Congress, and judge of the First Judicial District.
William B. Stone and Mildred Stone were Maryland natives and first cousins. She was married to Travers Daniel of Stafford County, Virginia.
Major William B. Stone was a lawyer in Port Tobacco, Maryland.
