Some RootsWeb trees say this is William Stone who was the first governor of Maryland.
That William's wife was Verlinda Graves or Cotton, though.
If this is governor Stone, he arrived in America about 1621 on the ship "Temperance".
--
Genforum message 1065 says this is the governor, and that he had three wives, Verlinda being the third.
--
Genforum message 2103 says governor Stone arrived c1635 on the ship "Alexander".
