  • Name Simon STONE  [1, 2, 3] 
    • Dea. Simon Stone, born in Boxted, co. Essex, England, about 1630, was brought to New England by his parents in 1635. He was brought up as a farmer on the paternal homestead at Mount Auburn in Watertown, Mass., to which he succeeded on his father's death in 1665. In 1662 he became a proprietor of lands in Groton, Mass., totaling eighty-eight acres which were recorded 17 Feb. 1670/1; these lands he eventually settled on his two eldest sons, Simon and JohnStone who located there. But Dea. Simon Stone always resided on the homestead in Watertown and became more prominent in local public affairs than his father had been. From 1672 to 1679 (inclusive) and 1681 to 1686 (inclusive) he was elected a selectman; in 1672, 1673, 1676, 1677, 1679, 1681, 1682, 1684, 1687 and 1690 he was chosen town clerk, and from 1678 to 1684 (inclusive) and in 1686, 1689 and 1690 he was deputy for Watertown to the Massachusetts General Court. In his later yeas he was a deacon of the Watertown Church.

      On 3 Feb. 1668/9, Simon Stone, farmer, and wife Mary, convey to Simon Coolidge a farm in Watertown (now Weston), late of the widow and heirs of Henry Greene, clerk, deceased containing fifty-five acres, bounded east by Benjamin Wellington, south by Nathaniel Coolidge, west by Robert Jennison, and north by Samuel Hyde, Sen. (Middlesex County Deeds, vol. 3, fl. 336).

      During his lifetime, Dea. Simon Stone divided all his property, both real and personal, among his large family of children, giving the homestead at Mount Auburn to his youngest child Ens. Jonathan Stone and a hundred acre farm adjoining on the west to another son David Stone; so at his death he left no will and no administration was taken out on his estate. He died in Watertown, 27 Feb. 177/8 and was buried in the Old Watertown Cemetery where his gravestone remains with the following inscription:

      HERE LYES YE
      BODY OF SIMON
      STONE, DIED FEBRY

      Dea. Simon Stone married about 1655 Mary Whipple, born in Bocking, co. Essex, England, about 1634, daughter of Elder John and Susanna Whipple, and when a child brought to New England by her parents. [1]
