Joyce,
It has taken some time and I was on the right track about your great-grandfather Elias M. Stone but he was the son of Jonathan Murray Stone and Rebecca Winston-Stone. Two other brothers I know of were Francis Murray Stone and Silas Murray Stone. All three brothers were educated. Elias was a graduate of the original Wake Forest College when it was in the town of Wake Forest in Wake County. All three brothers taught school in Nash, Franklin and Granville Counties. Elias also served as representative for Nash and Granville Counties in the North Carolina General Assembly.
Their grandfather, who was brother to my fourth great-grandfather John B. Stone Sr., was named Jonathan Murray Stone Sr., born in Halifax County, N.C., in 1757. He married Phillisia Cooke. His father was William Stone Sr. born abt. 1734. This much of your family is documented and therefore we are related through the brothers' John B. Stone Sr. and his older brother Jonathan M. Stone Sr.,.. William Stone Jr. was the younger of the three brothers.
Hope we can learn more about our Stone family. I have what I think would be our line back into the early 1600's. I will tell you abouit it just as soon as I can learn the names of a couple of spouses that married William Stone Sr., siblings.
This means in your lineage that; Julia F. Stone-Griffin was your grandmother; Elias M. Stone was your 1st. great-grandfather, while, Jonathan M. Stone Jr. was your second, making Jonathan M. Stone Sr. your third and William Stone Sr. your fourth great-grandfather.
Well, I will close now and I really look forward hearing from you. Take care and get plenty of 
.... Bill Jones
