There was a Lazarus Stone who was born in 1785 at Devonport, Devon in Nov of 1785, christened in Jan 1786 at Stoke, Damerel. His parents were a Richard Stone and Mary Stephens, married at Stoke in 1779. Richard was buried there in 1787. There were three children, Mary Ann 1780, Martha 1784 and Lazarus in 1785. The burial record for Richard shows his birth in 1751, no place given. There were a number of Stone families in that place, descended from a Sampson Stone. No one has this Richard as part of his family in trees that I have seen. I searching records for England in general, the only other Lazarus Stone is my ancestor at East Budleigh. I am trying to connect Richard to my Lazarus, b 1687, d 1753. There were two Lazarus Stones born to Samuel and Mary Criddick at Littleham, one in 1753 and one in 1762, both died as infants, though I can't find a death record for the 1762 guy. Lazarus at Portsea married a Betty Togood in 1809. They had seven children, all but two daughters, the oldest and the youngest died as infants or at birth, among them were three sons, a Lazarus in 1814- 1816; a Richard William in 1816 - 1818 and a William Richard in 1822. Two daughters, an Elizabeth and a Martha died young. Mary Ann wed a man Valentine Gardiner Roberts and had one son William Minto Roberts, 1851 - 1934.
