[Scott County]  [Georgetown City and Precinct]

J. NEWTON STONE, grocer, Georgetown; was born in Bourbon County, Ky., in
1837; reared on the farm, he tilled the soil of his native county until
1875, and devoted his attention to stock raising.  In March, 1875, he
removed to Georgetown, Ky., and accepted for a time a clerkship in the
store of W. N. Atkins, whom he succeeded in business; in 1876 he formed a
partnership with his brother, K. Stone, and for three years conducted a
large grocery business; he was next clerk in the Georgetown Hotel for a
year, and subsequently dealt in mules which he drove South.  January, 1881,
Mr. Stone formed a partnership with L. McConnell, and again embarked in the
grocery trade, where he is at present conducting a handsome business, at
the corner of Main and Court streets, in groceries, tobaccos and liquors;
he also formed a partnership with Mr. Pierce, a practical tobacconist, for
the manufacture of plug and twist tobacco, and established Tobacco Factory
Number 6, in the 7th District of Kentucky; it is located on north side of
Main Cross, Georgetown.  Mr. Stone was twice married, first time to Miss
Drusilla, daughter of John Smith, of Clark County, Ky., in November, 1860;
she died in June, 1866; he married a second time, Dec. 20, 1870, to Miss
Eliza, daughter of John Hill, of Bourbon County; she died Aug. 1, 1874,
and left one living son, John Hill Stone.  Of Mr. Stone's ancestry we know
that Kinzea Stone, his grandfather, was born in Virginia, where he married
a Miss Watts, and emigrated to Kentucky in 1808, settling in Bourbon
County, where he resided until his death which occurred about 1848.  He was
a successful farmer, an old line Whig and raised ten children, two of whom
are living.  Among his sons, who were all farmers, was Kinzea Stone, the
father of our subject, and born in Bourbon County, Ky., in 1813; he lived
in Bourbon all his life, and was a successful and systematic farmer, and
accumulated a handsome estate of 520 acres; he married Elizabeth A.,
daughter of Manson Seamands, of Bourbon County; she was the widow of the
late Edwin Dodge, and has one son of her first marriage, and of the last
marriage there are three sons and four daughters living.  Both father
and grandfather were members of the Particular Baptist Church, and the
former, who died Dec. 24, 1879, was for many years an Elder in the church.
