2. William Atte Stone b. abt 1365… The parish existed in Anglo-Saxon times and its name was derived from the Anglo-Saxon words “ardh” (high) and “leigh” (pasture)... At a later period several of the farms in these manors became known by the names of the yeoman families who leased and occupied them from the 14th century… William atte Stone lived in the reigns of Edward III (1327-1377), Richard II (1377-1399), Henry IV (1399-1413), Henry V (1413-1422), and Henry VI (1422-1461). The most interesting historical episodes during his lifetime were Wat Tyler’s Peasant Rebellion in 1381, the attempted reforms in the Roman Church by John Wycliffe, the literary productions of Geoffrey Chaucer, the coup d’etat of Henry IV in seizing the throne in 1399 and the famous victory of Henry V at Agincourt in 1415. William atte Stone d. 1430 or 31; his son Walter atte Stone succeeded to his copyhold in Ardleigh.

During his early manhood took place the brilliant English victory of Henry V at Agincourt in 1415, the capture of Rouen in 1419, and the conquest of the northern part of France; later came the noted exploits of Joan of Arc, followed by the gradual expulsion of the English from the continent.

Executors, wife Elizabeth, son Davy… my tenement called Godewyns… to [Walter] tenement called Walles…The context of the will indicates that Simon Stone was a prosperous and substantial yeoman, his direction that he be buried in the church is significant of his superior local position, as only the landed gentry and the very wealthiest of the yeomanry secured sepulture within the rural church edifices, all others being buried in the churchyards.

8. David Stone b. abt 1480 in Great Bromley, co. Essex. Executor of his father’s will, 5/12/1506, and inherited the latter’s estate in Great Bromley called “Goodenes.” removed from Great Bromley to Kirby-le-Soken, where he appears as “Davye Stone” on the subsidy dated 10/20/42… d. abt 1543, as on the next subsidy, taken 10/13/1544, his place on the subsidy roll at Kirby-le-Soken is taken by “Symonde Stone” evidently his son…
(pg 39) David Stone was born at the very end of the reign of Edward IV and also lived in the reigns of Edward V (1483), Richard III (1483-1485), Henry VII (1485-1509), and Henry VIII (1509-1547). In the efficient although autocratic reign of Henry VII the country became prosperous with the ending of the civil wars of the past generation, light taxes, and the great increase of manufacturing and foreign commerce; and the despotic and avaricious rule of Henry VIII was marked by the breaking away from the Church of Rome in the Act of Supremacy in 1534, soon followed by the dissolution of the monasteries and the confiscation of their estates by the Crown. During the last half of the reign of Henry VIII the Reformation made rapid progress in England, and despite persecutions by imprisonments and burnings, the great majority of the population converted to Protestantism, which became legally established as the State Church soon after the accession of Edward VI in 1547.
...The Sokens enjoyed special privileges, and were possessed by the Dean and… in 1538 they were seized and appropriated to the Crown by Henry VIII. In 1551 his successor, Edward VI, granted the manors in the three parishes of The Sokens to Sir Thomas Darcy; and in 1553 Queen Mary annexed the parishes as a peculiar of the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Bishop of London…. As no will of David Stone can be found, parish registers do not commence until a period after his decease, and the court rolls of the manors in Great Bromley are lost, the names of his children can be determined only by careful analysis of circumstantial evidences. But the evidences available indicate beyond a doubt that he was father of at least sons John and Simon, and probably of Thomas and Matthew. ii. Simon, b. abt 1507; ancestor of the Stones of America.
9. William Stone, b. Great Bromley, co. Essex abt 1488, married abt 1512 Joane Stevens, he acquired an estate of twenty-four acres in Ardleigh called “Masons.” (brother-in-law, John Stevin)...
On 7/11/1513, William Stone and Johane his wife complain that John Stephen of Ardeley, now deceased, was seized in his demensne of a messuage [dwelling house], two gardens, seven crofts of land, and one acre of fen, containing in all twenty-four acres, lying in Ardeley, co. Essex, commonly called Masones tenement; and being so seized the said John in his lifetime demised and let said premises to one Thomas Browne from year to year. And afterward said John by his last will gave said premises called Masons to his daughter, the said Johane, and to her heirs, and gave all the residue of his lands and tenements to his son and heir John Stephen. And afterwards the said John the father died, and his feoffees were seized of said premises called Masons to the use of the said William Stone and Johane his wife, in right of said Jone, and of the heirs of said Jone. But the said deeds of feoffment of the property have come into the hands of John Stephen the younger, who refuses to give them up, and who claims that divers of said crofts re “Coletts” and purchased by himself and are not parcel of said messuage of Masons, and he has entered into two of said crofts, all contrary to good conscience. The complainants ask for a writ of subpoena to said John Stephens the younger to answer the complaint. It is evident that William Stone and his wife were successful in the suit, as they held the estate of “Masons” at the time of his death. William Stone later moved into the adjoining parish of Great Bromley, where he secured estates called “Martins” and “Mablotts”; he d. 1533. Will dated 12/9/1533… To William Manning a doublet… John Stone of Weeley… wife Jane my lands and tenements in Much Bromley and Ardleigh, to keep my children; if she die before William come of age… he to pay each of his five sisters… He married abt 1512, Joane Stephens or Stevens, daughter of John Stephens or Stevens of Ardleigh…
10. William Stone b. abt 1490, probably in Weeley, co. Essex, named in the will of his father, dated 8/6/1510.
11. John Stone b. In Great Bromley, co. Essex abt 1505. His father David Stone had inherited from his father Simon Stone an estate in Great Bromley called “Goodenes”; and when David Stone went to Kirby-le-Soken about 1540, he probably left his eldest son John Stone in charge of this estate, to which he soon succeeded on the death of his father David Stone abt 1543. The will of 1534 of John Stone of Great Bromley, own-cousin of David Stone was witnessed by John Stone of Gernens (Goodenes)... He married abt 1535, Margery; she m2: abt 1548 William Harden… she d. abt 1568: will, of Mergerie Hardinge 10/14/1565… son Georgie… Gregory b. abt 1540; “Goodenes” previously held by his father 9. John Stone, grandfather 8. David Stone, great-grandfather 7. Simon Stone. As he was an own-cousin and of the same age as 10. David Stone of Great Bromley, perhaps the latter named his youngest son, Deacon Gregory Stone the New England colonist, for this 10. Gregory Stone.
12. Simon Stone was b. abt 1507, Great Bromley, co. Essex… He and his second cousin Robert Stone were churchwardens of Great Bromley (1552)... they made and signed the inventory of church goods of the parish taken that year. This office was always a mark of local distinction; and his holding of this position, his assessments on subsidies (to which only the wealthier minority of householders were liable), and the property disclosed by his will, all indicate that Simon Stone was a yeoman of substantial estate and esteemed position in the community where he lived. He d. 1557. His life was passed during the reigns of Henry VIII (1509-1547), Edward VI (1547-553), and Mary (1443-1558). In his youth the great religious Reformation had its birth under Martin Luther in Germany, and he lived amid its steady growth among the masses of England. He witnessed the mental regeneration of the people; the growth of steadfast purpose, in spite of persecution, to secure freedom for the superstitions and corrupt thralldom of Rome; the Act of Supremacy in 1534 separating the church in England from Papal authority, and the suppression and confiscation of the monasteries in 1539; the legal establishment of the Protestant Church of England in 1552 and the temporary renewal of Catholic power under Mary (1553-1558) with its persecution of Protestants, of whom thousands were imprisoned and over three hundred paid the supreme sacrifice of death at the stake in steadfast devotion to their beliefs. A few months after the death of Simon Stone, the death of Mary and the accession of Elizabeth on 11/17/1558, terminated the inquisition and permanently abolished in England the power of the Roman Church. Will of “Symond Ston of Moch Bromeley in the Countie of Essex,” 7/28/1557. To Agnes my wife my lands called Hunts… after her decease I give them to John Ston, my eldest son… to the heirs of his body lawfully begotten… to Davy Stone, his brother… To Agnes my wife five acres of land called the Leez… to Richard my son… Simon Stone married abt 1533, Agnes…
13. John b. abt 1535, Great Bromley. 14. David b. abt 1540; ancestor of the Stones of America… 13.

14. David Stone b. abt 1540, Great Bromley, co. Essex; according to the will of his father in 1557… death yr unknown.. David Stone was born toward the close of the reign of Henry VIII (1509-1547), and also lived in the reigns of Edward VI (1547-1553), Mary (1553-1558), and Elizabeth (1558-1603). In his youth took place the religious revolution in England legally establishing the Protestant Church of England in 1552, which was followed by the temporary relapse of the country in Mary’s reign into the power of the Roman Church, with accompanying persecution and imprisonment of thousands of Protestants and burning of over three hundred martyrs to their cause, of whom no fewer than a score were from Colchester and the surrounding parishes and perished at the stake in a field near Colchester Castle. Doubtless the Stone family were acquainted with some of these martyrs, and possibly even related to one or more of them. Among these Colchester martyrs were William Munte, aged 61, his wife Alice Munte, aged 41, his step-daughter Rose Allen, aged 20, all of Great Bentley; they were certainly related to John Munte who was a witness to the will in 1557 of Simon Stone of Great Bromley, father of David Stone. But most of the life of David Stone was passed in the brilliant reign of Elizabeth (1558-1603), when freed from the blighting control of the Roman Church, a sudden and phenomenal progress took place in England, both in the mental development of the population and in the material prosperity of the country. Agriculture, manufactures, and trade flourished at home, wealth poured into the country from foreign commerce, the daring English navigators sailed over every ocean, and after the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, England became mistress of the seas, a position since held continuously for over three centuries. The standards of culture and comfort and luxury in living were raised among all classes, and the period witnessed a general rebuilding throughout England of mansions of the nobility, manor houses of the landed gentry, farm messuages [a dwelling house with outbuildings and land assigned to its use] of the yeomanry, and cottages of the husbandmen. This also was the golden age of English literature, made illustrious by Shakespeare, Bacon, Spenser, Jonson, and Sidney.

Descendants of Gregory Stone A Pioneer of New England in 1635.
1. Deacon Gregory Stone, born in the parish of Great Bromley, co. Essex, England, baptized 4/19/1592, the youngest of the 11 children of David Stone, seven of whom were by a first wife, Elizabeth Hewett, and the four youngest by second wife, Ursula. The ancestors of Deacon Gregory Stone belonged to the best class of the sturdy yeomanry of England whose blood was most largely of Anglo-Saxon origin; and they had resided for at least three centuries, bearing the surname “Stone,” in Great Bromley and adjoining parishes, where for some 10 generations they had tilled lands held by various forms of leases from manorial landlords…
Suffolk, where he afterwards resided until his emigration to New England in 1635, the registers of Nayland containing the baptisms of 7 of his children between 1618 and 1633… Religious conditions and environment were the main factors in raising Deacon Gregory Stone out of the family obscurity of his ancestors, and making him an historical character as founder of a race in the New World.

The village and the surrounding area, like much of East Anglia, was a hotbed of Puritan sentiment during much of the 17th century. At least as early as 1629, parishioners such as Gregory Stone were censured for not kneeling at communion. By the mid-1630s, the Stone family and others had departed for the Massachusetts Bay Colony as part of the wave of emigration that occurred during the Great Migration. Gregory was married in 1617 at Nayland, co.

Under James I and Charles I the persecutions of the Puritans became so obnoxious as to induce an emigration, between 1630 and 1643, of some twenty-five thousand of them to the wilds of New England… of these colonists nearly two-thirds were from Suffolk and Essex and the adjoining counties, among them the brothers Deacon Gregory and Deacon Simon Stone, ancestors of the largest part of the Stone families in America. But to secure religious freedom was not the sole cause of this epochal emigration; most of the land in England was owned by a small landed class, descended from the Norman feudal nobility and manorial lords, of whom the yeomen were obliged to take leases at high rentals; a corrupt and incompetent government and profligate court had brought the country to great industrial distress, poverty among the masses, and crushing taxation, including the obnoxious ship-money tax; and the spirit of democracy was rising against the “divine right of kings.” So it is certain that many of the founders of New England left their native land, not only for religious liberty, but also with the idea of establishing civil democracy and of eventually securing improvement in material conditions. In 1643 the Puritan party secured control of the English government, their persecution ended, and the ensuing civil war established the English Commonwealth; so general emigration to New England practically ceased in 1642 until after the close of the American Revolution in 1783.
...the great Puritan emigration to New England, started in 1630 under the leadership of Gov. John Winthrop of Groton, co. Suffolk… the following parishioners of Nayland were then presented for refusing to kneel to receive communion (among them, John Warren and Gregory Stone)... Records… Deacon Simon Stone, brother of Deacon Gregory, brought his family to New England in the ship Increase in the Spring of 1635… bringing his second wife Lydia, six children, John, Daniel, David, Elizabeth, Samuel and Sarah Stone, and two stepchildren John and Lydia Cooper. At first he located with his brother Simon in Watertown, MA, where the town records… The first “Great Divident” of land in Watertown, 7/25/1636… four divisions of thirty each; Gregory Stone drew lot 18…
10/11/1647, grant to Deacon Gregory Stone of 200 acres at Cambridge Farms… Cambridge Town Records: 6/4/1652, the Town do give to Gregory Stone adjoining to is Farm 100 acres…
Deacon Gregory Stone must have joined the Watertown church soon after his arrival there, as on 5/25/1636 he was admitted a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and at that time church membership was a requisite to become a freeman. Only freeman could vote and hold office; so it was carefully arranged that only “orthodox” persons should have any part in government. Deacon Gregory Stone, Deacon of this Charter: and Lydia his wife, children: John, Daniel, David, Elizabeth, Samuel, Sarah. Also John Cooper son of the forsaid Lydia and Lydia Fiske her daughter… all save, John Stone now joined member of the Church of Xt at Sudbury, Lydia Fisk now deceased, Elizabeth Stone now Potter living at Ipswich, Sarah Stone now Miriam joined to ye Charter at Concord… Gregory Stone is mentioned as deacon as early as 1643 and held the office until his death 11/30/1672.

The copyholding class formed the connecting link between freeholders and farmers. The farmers themselves held by various kinds of tenure… Agricultural reformers of the period often favored long leases under such agreements as should harmonize the interests of both parties.
Farms varied greatly, too, as regarded size. Almost every manor contained one large farm -the home-farm of the middle ages, through leasing with yeomen had attained wealth. But the time we are now considering middle-sized and small farms were still in the majority. And the economic position of the small farmer approached that of the cottage, since, according to the Elizabethan statute already mentioned, every cottage had to be provided with and to the extent of four acres… Thus there was a really practicable ladder from the lowest to the highest stage in the village of the 18th century. It had no gaps. The upper and lower classes of the community were really connected with one another by a series of mediating members… No sharp social line was drawn between the wealthy yeoman and the gentleman: and the better-situated copyholder, the leaseholder for lives, and the rich farmer were not seldom reckoned among yeomanry.... [the] lowest classes of the village community were the material of the agricultural laboring class. They provided the necessary day-labor, and their sons and daughters were servants until they were able to buy or rent a little holding or at least a cottage for themselves.
Outside of the community… there was a class occasionally known as cottagers, but ordinarily as squatters [borderers]. They lived at some distance from the village, near, in or upon the commons and woods, where they had built themselves huts, and perhaps cleared a little piece of land… Squatters were also to be found in the neighborhood of the capital… in Middlesex the poor settled themselves on the borders of commons, where they found land, material to build a cottage, firing, and pasture for pigs and poultry, “for nothing.” These little privileges, he states, were due to the carelessness of the landlord and his silent consent, and they made the people lazy… where great and spacious wastes, mountains, woods, forests, and heaths are, that many cottages are set up, the people given to little or no kind of labor… dwelling far from any church… ignorant of God or any civil course of life as the very savages… The small cultivators needed no regular labor but that of their wives and children. The middling class employed besides some farm servants drawn from the families of the cottagers and little farmers; while the few large farmers, whose numbers increased as the century went on, made regular use, in addition, of day-laborers, also drawn from the same class… we find that parish children of seven and eight years old were apprenticed to the farmers, who treated them badly… Many of them absconded, since they did not legally attain their freedom till they had completed their twenty-first year… (hiring-fairs) Every servant in the district regarded himself as freed for this one day “from servitude”... Popular songs were held to have much influence in forming the morality of the agricultural population… whenever they came together they heard songs in praise of conjugal happiness and country life the most beneficent results might have been anticipated… The ploughmen, carters, shepherds, etc., had each his own house and garden, and were as a rule married men. They were hired by the year. They had each to provide a woman to do certain work, e.g. weeding and hay-making, at fixed wages… the greater part of the wages was paid in kind, the men receiving a free cottage, the keep of two cows, and a certain quantity of wheat… and wool… and unmarried man at from ten to twelve guineas a year, and board and washing…

John Stone (also written Stones), the eldest son of Richard Stone and Isabel Girdler, was born in Lancashire, England. John was apparently married twice during his life. He married first to a woman whose name has not been determined. After their marriage, John and his first wife are known to have periodically resided in both Lancashire, England and London, England
In 1613, however, their principal residence undoubtedly became Carr House in Bretherton, a home that had been built for them by John’s brothers, Thomas Stone, haberdasher of London, and Andrew Stone, merchant of Amsterdam. This is substantiated by an inscribed panel located above the front door of Carr House which reads as follows: “Thomas Stones of London haberdasher and Andrew Stones of Amsterdam merchant hath builded this howse of their owne charges and giveth the same unto their brother John Stones: Ano domni 1613. Laus.” (Jody Gray, reminder: check Carr House/Family; I have Ann Nancy Carr b. 1810, Ireland m: Richard James Matchett b. 1802, Ireland -both emigrated to Ontario, Canada)
The Hugh Stone who is known to be a son of John Stone, was mentioned in the will of John’s father, Richard Stone. In this will, which was dated 13 March 1605/1606, Richard left a legacy of three shillings "to Hugh Stones, son of the said John Stones." John’s son, Andrew, on the other hand, was substantiated by the will of John’s sister-in-law, Elizabeth (Lufkyn) Stone, wife of Thomas Stone, Haberdasher, which had been written on 5 September 1657.

Note (Jody Gray): there are many Stone Trees and they vary greatly in information… I could find no verifiable connection to John Stone, haberdasher of London, father of Elizabeth Stone b. 1562. Not much found for birth dates, etc. for the Stone Family that Elizabeth descended from …

When I saw the stepmother of Elizabeth Stone, Wynefrid aka Winifride Browne, I remembered having seen the surname “Browne” -in looking for it in my Family Tree, I found, Elizabeth’s son, John Stephens b. 1585, married 2nd, a Grace Browne in 1630, daughter of John II Browne b. 1582 of Frampton. Notice, her husband and her father were of about the same age; they were both students at Middle Temple and Members of Parliament; their close association probably resulted in John’s daughter, Grace, marrying John Stephens. This family affiliation makes me think that Wynefrid aka Winifride Browne is likely the stepmother of Elizabeth Stone.

John Browne 1558 m: Jane Portman; their son, John II Browne 1582 m: Elizabeth Trenchard; their daughter, Grace Browne m: John Stephens b. 1585, son of Thomas Stephens b. 1558 and Elizabeth Stone b. 1562…
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~fordingtondorset/Files/JohnBrowneJP1582.html John Browne JP. b. 1582 d. 3/16/1659 (78) with burial at Frampton on 4/7/69. Probate granted 5/7/1659. Son, Thomas Browne 1620-1680.
John Browne was born on the family estate in Frampton a small parish situated on the River Frome… there was once a priory here. After the Dissolution the lands were passed to the Browne family who remained lords of the manor until 1833… he married, 11/13/1607, Elizabeth Trenchard (bapt 2/28/1586/7 d. 1/25/1656/7), daughter of Sir George Trenchard of Wolfeton and Elizabeth Speke. They had 4 sons and 6 daughters. Daughter, Grace married 2/22/1630/1 to John Stevens of Lypiatt, Gloucester a Counsellor at Law -nothing more is known about Grace; she may have died at or shortly have the birth of their daughter, Grace b. 1631. John married his third wife, Anne Moulson (probably) before the birth of their son, Thomas b. 1639.

Biography
Browne was descended ultimately from yeoman stock. His ancestors were tenant farmers of the demesnes of Frampton by the reign of Henry VI, though his grandfather bought the manor in the 1570s, having recently been granted arms. His father, Sir John, served for many years as colonel of the west Dorset militia... In 1607 Browne married the daughter of Sir George Trenchard, one of the county’s leading gentleman. The accompanying settlement provided him with an estate worth £200 per annum. He was returned for Bridport on his father-in-law’s interest to the 1621 Parliament, but left no trace on its records, and gave way to his cousin Robert Browne* at the next election.
In 1627 Browne succeeded to the Frampton estate, and an annual income of £1,100...
A puritan by conviction, as demonstrated by his membership of the Dorchester New England Company and his private correspondence during the 1630s, Browne disliked the policies of Charles I’s Personal Rule, and defaulted on Ship Money. One of Dorset’s shire knights during the Long Parliament, he was also an active and unpopular member of the parliamentarian county committee. He took part in the king’s trial, but declined to sign his death warrant. Browne died in March 1659...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Browne_(of_Frampton) Robert Browne of Frampton. Robert Browne (born c. 1588, date of death unknown) was an English lawyer and politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1624.
Browne was the son of John Browne of Frampton, Dorset. He matriculated at Magdalen College, Oxford, on 14 May 1602, aged 14 and was awarded BA on 24 April 1605. He was called to the bar at Middle Temple in 1615. In 1624, he was elected Member of Parliament for Bridport. His brother John was also an MP and was appointed commissioner on the trial of the King in 1649.
(Jody Gray): further research -from, (above), Gregory Stone Genealogy: 9. William Stone, b. Great Bromley, co. Essex abt 1488, married abt 1512 Joane Stevens, he acquired an estate of twenty-four acres in Ardleigh called “Masons.” (brother-in-law, John Stevin)... On 7/11/1513, William Stone and Johane his wife complain that John Stephen of Ardeley, now deceased, was seized in his demensne of a messuage [dwelling house], two gardens, seven crofts of land, and one acre of fen, containing in all twenty-four acres, lying in Ardeley, co. Essex, commonly called Masones tenement; and being so seized the said John in his lifetime demised and let said premises to one Thomas Browne from year to year. And afterward said John by his last will gave said premises called Masons to his daughter, the said Johane, and to her heirs, and gave all the residue of his lands and tenements to his son and heir John Stephen.

Your research is very interesting. I am a Stone descendant of the Stones and have been working on the English part. I hope you keep publishing your materials and making them available on ancestry.com.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting read. I descend from both Simon Stone and Gregory Stone through their sons John and Jonathan. (their great-great-great grandchildren married). I've visited the graves several times and am hoping to find more about where they lived in Cambridge and Watertown, MA.
