Devon / Re: Jonas STONE of East Budleigh
« on: Saturday 11 January 20 16:27 GMT (UK)  »
I too descend from Capt Jonas at Newfoundland, so we are distantly related.  My line of ancestry is Capt Jonas Stone, his son George who had a son John Henry, who in turn had a daughter Elizabeth (Lizzie).  Lizzie had a son, Joseph Jonas Patrick Meeghan who emigrated to England in 1919, and is my grandfather, who I remember very well.  He always said that I was the double of his mother Lizzie. My father was John Christopher Meeghan. 

Capt Jonas sailed on small sloops transporting cargoes for the Follet Bros between Spain, Portugal and Newfoundland before he settled in Newfoundland.  The Follett Bros business was based in Topsham in Devon, England. Just to show that history can go full circle my sister moved to Exeter in Devon some 35 years ago. Exeter is just a few short miles up river from Topsham! Small world!

Thank you for your reply and sorry that it has taken me a while to respond.

There must have been two Jonas Stone's in East Budleigh at the same time!  My Jonas Stone was the son of Capt Jonas Stone and Meriam Tucker who emigrated to Trepassey in Canada from Topsham in Devon.  Their son Jonas was born in Canada and then subsequently emigrated to East Budleigh in Devon. His other siblings were Laurence (who also emigrated to England as he is listed on a ship from St Johns, NFL, Canada to Dartmouth in 1802), George (my ancestor who stayed in Canada), Elizabeth, Thomas and Jonas (who emigrated to East Budleigh, Devon).

Thank you for your help though and it really is strange to think of two Jonas Stone's in East Budleigh at the same time.

In researching my family tree I have come across a Jonas Stone who was born in Trepassey, Newfoundland in Canada and then subsequently emigrated to East Budleigh, Devon.  He was the son of a Capt Jonas Stone and Miriam Tucker orginally from Topsham in Devon.  My ancestor was his brother George who was born in 1760.  I do not have information as to when his brother Jonas was born.  Google the Stone family of Lynche's River and you will find some info there.  Hope this helps
