Greetings, and a warm welcome to Rootschat.

A preliminary search found a reference in "A History of Western Maryland" vol 1  to a John Stonebraker who "came to America from Sweden with his two brothers and located in what is now Funkstown district,Washington County".

https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ntVpHBIz0hAC&pg=PA1179&lpg=PA1179&dq=sweden+stonebraker&source=bl&ots=hTtII5WvGf&sig=ACfU3U37nDJetq6zwYscFcHV7qAUcAMSwQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwij3qS7we7iAhX-BGMBHdiRBoMQ6AEwAXoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=sweden%20stonebraker&f=false

This doesn't name the parents or a precise location in Sweden, but it may help Rootschatters with an extra name to hunt.  (NOTE - a tree on Ancestry.com claims that a John Steinbrecher d. Funksville was born 1730 the only son of Christian Steinbrecher born 1710 in Denmark, Sweden - but I would not guarantee that an online tree is necessarily accurate!)
