Symond Stone of Much Bromley owned a property called "Walles," situated in Ardleigh, which he bequeathed to his second son, Walter Stone. Ardleigh and Much Bromley are adjoining parishes and their churches are only three miles apart.

The Stones mentioned in the Court Rolls of Ardleigh are of the same family from which Simon and Gregory Stone, the emigrants, descended. The will of Symond Stone of Much Bromley, dated May 12, 1506, probated Feb. 10, 1510, names four sons, David, Walter, Myhyll (i. e., Miles), and William.

He was born in Great Bromley, Co. Essex. His emigration was a result of causes which had been developing for over a century. After Elizabeth became ueen in 1558 the Protestant religions were permanently restored to power. There later grew among the protestants a spirit of asceticism and a desire for simpler forms of worship. These dissenters became known as puritans, and their numbers increased rapidly. The puritans were persecuted to enforce conformity to the established church. This induced twenty-five thousand to emigrate to New England. Among these were the brothers Deacon Gregory Stone and his brother Deacon Simon Stone.

Religious freedom was not the sole cause of emigration. Much of the land in England was owned by Norman feudal nobility. The desire for establishing civil democracy and the hope of improving living conditions were additional incentives for leaving their native land.

Dea. Gregory Stone came to New England in 1635 and first located in Watertown, Mass with his brother Simon. In 1637 he moved with his family to Cambridge, then called Newtowne. His home was on Garden Street, where Harvard University is now located.

In 1664 he and three other Cambridge men presented to the court a memorial signed by about one hundred and forty other residents of Cambridge protesting the government of New England by a Royal Commission in which they were not represented(the first mutterings of independence)

He died in Cambridge in 1672, and was buried in the old Cambridge burying ground The only marker wa a stone with initials GS. A new marker was erected by his descendents in 1907, the stone is there today.

He married first in England Margaret Garrad. They had four children before her death in England in 1626. He then married the widow Lydia Cooper.

The Stone family embraced the religious reform movement known as Puritanism, the movement which in the late 16th and 17th centuries sought to "purify" the Church of England from remnants of Roman Catholicism that the Puritans claimed had been retained after the religious settlement reached early in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. GREGORY STONE born in Great Bromley in 1592, crossed the Atlantic and arrived in Watertown, Massachusetts, where he is listed in 1636. He later acquired over 400 acres, particularly in Cambridge Farms (now the cities of Lexington and Lincoln). He became a deacon of the Cambridge [Congregational] Church at some point, first being mentioned as a deacon in 1643, and held this office until his death in 1672.
