• Many sources for this family spell their name "Stones." James and his family is not related to Jonathan Stone who traveled with the company, even though some sources indicate that he was a grandfather to them. Evidence that he came in 1856 is confirmed in information found in 1857 Church financial records.

  The family sailed to America in 1856 on the ship Horizon.
