Charles Stone
Charles Stone, farmer, P. O. Hudson, Summit County, was born in Hudson Township (now in Summit County), Ohio, January 25, 1812, son of Nathaniel and Sally (Hollenbeck) Stone, who were the parents of twelve children, six of whom are now living: Caroline, wife of Sydney Collar; Charles; Sydney J.; Helen, wife of George Bentley; Roswell and Orlando. Nathaniel Stone was a native of Connecticut, son of Jerome Stone, of that State. He settled in Hudson Township in 1810, and cleared and improved a farm, on which he resided (except when in the war of 1812) until 1832, when he removed to Streetsboro, locating on the farm which he also cleared and improved, and where he died in 1861 in his seventy-sixth year. The maternal grandfather of our subject, Samuel Hollenbeck, a native of Canaan, Conn., settled in Hudson Township in 1810, and lived and died there. Charles Stone came to Streetsboro with his parents in 1832, and assisted his father in clearing the farm until twenty-five years of age, when the latter gave him sixty acres of land, on which he built a log-cabin on the site of his present residence. He was married April 18, 1837, to Sabrina, daughter of Moses Draper, who settled in Hudson Township in 1831. The issue of this union was seven children: Harriet, Frederick (who died serving his country during the war of the Rebellion), Salina (wife of Charles Cash), David, Moses, Lavonia (deceased), Clara (Mrs. Wesley Higley). Mr. Stone is a member of the Pioneer Society. In politics he is a Republican.
