Thomas Stone after being a widower for several years married Catherine (???), but it is believed that no issue resulted from the union.

Thomas Stone dated his will May 25, 1727, it being proved the following November 7, by the Rev. William MacConchie, Henry Barnes, and Verlinda Boughton. He devised his son David one-half of the dwelling-plantation and personalty. His widow Catherine was to enjoy the other half of the dwelling-plantation during life then to his son David. Certain personalty at her death were to be divided among unnamed children. The residue of the estate was bequeathed to David and Mary.

The inventory of the personal estate of "Thomas Stone Sr." was filed on November 23, 1728, by Catherine Stone as the executrix, with Matthew Stone and William Stone as the kinsmen.

She named William Hanson and Gerret Fowke as executors and the following of no stated relationship as her heirs--Anne Fowke; Mary Hanson, the wife of William Hanson; Catherine Fowke, the daughter of Gerret Fowke; Richard Reeder; Gerret Fowke who received 500 acres of "Aqunkeck's Hills" near Permunkey; and David Stone, Mary Stone, and Anne Stone, children of David Stone.
