A copy of the will of Simon Stone is published in the N. E. Genealogical Register, Vol. III, p. 182, and the Middlesex Probate Records state that the will was "exhibited on oath as the last will of the said Simon Stone by his brother Gregory Stone and Steeven Day." Here we have positive proof of the relationship between Simon and Gregory.

Gregory and Simon appeared together and took the freeman's oath, May 25, 1636

Birth: 1507 Great Bromley Essex, England Death: Jul. 28, 1557 Great Bromley Essex, England

This memorial is dedicated to my ancestor Simon Stone. He was the son of David and Catherine Stone. He married Agnes Speed in 1533 at Great Bromley, Essex County, England. Simon and Agnes were the parents of John and David. Their two grandsons Gregory and Simon immigrated to America on the ship "The Increase" from Ipswich with their wives and families ranging from one month old to 16 years, landing in Massachusetts in April three months later.

Simon Stone was probably born about 1507 in Great Bromley, Essex. His uncle Walter Stone bought the estate called "Churchgate" in 1520. Walter apparently didn't have any children, for he gave the estate to Simon. In 1533, Simon married Agnes Speed at St. George the Martyr in Great Bromley. He must have accompanied his father from Great Bromley to Kirby-le-Soken in 1540, because after his father's death, Simon took his father's place on the tax list in 1544. The next year he was back in Great Bromley, where he was assessed in at least three tax lists. He lived in Great Bromley until his death in 1557. He must have had quite a bit of land, because he was assessed on land, not personal property, and his taxes were substantial. Agnes outlived him and was mentioned in his will, dated July 28. 1557. Simon and his cousin Robert Stone were churchwardens at Great Bromley in 1552. Simon lived during the period of the reformation. (additional bio info provided by Ken Smith)

1. DEACON SIMON[1] STONE (c. 1584/5-1665?), “a Pioneer of New England in 1635,” was born in the parish of Great Bromley, County Essex, England [northeast of London], and baptized there 9 Feb. 1585/6, the eighth of eleven children of DAVID STONE and the eldest by the latter’s second wife, URSULA ---. For at least three centuries his English ancestors bearing the family name STONE had resided in and around Great Bromley, tilling as yeomen lands they leased from the lords of various manors.

Simon[1] Stone seems to have been brought up in the ancestral occupation of farming and to have resided in his native parish of Great Bromley until about 1622 when he removed to Boxted, County Essex, a parish about six miles northwest of Great Bromley and on the south side of the River Stour which separates it from Nayland, County Suffolk; in this latter parish Deacon Gregory Stone, the youngest brother of Deacon Simon[1] Stone, had located about five years earlier.

Apparently Simon[1] Stone lived in Boxted until the spring of 1635 when he joined in a large Puritan emigration that year from Suffolk and Essex to New England. [According to Pope’s Pioneers of Massachusetts, Simon Stone (age 50) and his wife Joan (age 38) came to America on the ship Increase on 15 April 1635, settling in Watertown, Massachusetts. –MS.]

Deacon Simon[1] Stone married first, at Great Bromley, County Essex, England, 5 Aug. 1616, JOANE CLARK, born about 1596, daughter of William Clark; she accompanied her husband and children to New England in 1635 and died before 1654, having had at least seven children.

He married secondly, in New England, about 1655, an acquaintance of old England, Mrs. SARAH (BAKER) LUMPKIN, widow of Richard Lumpkin of Ipswich, Mass.... By his second wife, Sarah...Deacon Simon[1] Stone had no children, and she died in July 1663.

Children of Deacon Simon[1] and Joane (Clark) Stone: i. Frances (1618- ) ii. Mary (1621, died young) iii. Anne (1624- ) iv. SIMON[2], born in Boxted, England about 1630 v. Mary (1632-1684) vi. John (1634- ) vii. Elizabeth (1639; probably died young)
