One thought on “Benjamin Stone, Miss Atkins & Rachel Sparkman”

  1. Hello Sally,

    Please disregard my previous comment. I have been working with Gregory Tyler regarding the Stone connection with my family line. We have discovered that I was in error that Benjamin Stone’s (married to Miss Atkins and Rachel Sparkman ) parents were Benjamin Stone and Esther Kibby of Mass. Have you any advice to me on where to look for Benjamin Stone’s parents? Thank You, Cynthia Herlong
