different steps of his advancement and prosperity. Probably he took some part in the affairs of the town, especially those connected with his immediate neighborhood; if he did so, it is buried in the manuscript records of Charlestown. That he was looked up to in his own family is shown by the fact that all the children called him Sir Stone. Whether or not this is a contraction of grandsire is a conundrum we cannot now answer. He was associated with Timothy Tufts, Nathaniel Hawkins, Samuel Kent, Samuel Shed, and others in the purchase from Samuel Tufts of a lot of land for a cemetery in 1804. This was the well-known rectangular lot on Somerville Avenue at the foot of School Street, on one corner of which stood the school known as the Milk Row School. There is an old Bible containing the records of Mr. John Stone and Mrs. Mary Ston's children and the time of their births. They were blessed with thirteen, two of whom died in infancy. John Stone was born October 27, 1780.

Ashland, Hanover Co.,1 Va., May 14th, 1861. Being a member of the "Meadsville Grays," a rifle company from Halifax county, and that company having been overlooked by your correspondence, I take the liberty of calling your attention to the fact that that company is still in existence, and in camp at Ashland. Mr. Richard Logan is our Captain. He graduated several years ago at Lexington, and is, perhaps, equal in point of military skill to any officer here. Our First lieutenant is Mr. Samuel Kent; he is a second Winfield Scott in stature, but a much better man in character. The company numbers about sixty-five men, all of whom are eager to begin the conflict which will decide the fact that we mean to be free, or consign us to soldiers' graves. Our rifles, which were furnished by the voluntary contributions of the citizens of Halifax, are the best that I have seen. The rifle of itself is a formidable weapon, (the ball will take effect a mile,) but it is rendered still more so
