Thomas Stone left few records when he died in 1791 in Prince William County Virginia. No document or reference names his parentage. Finding Thomas's father took thirty years. Using indirect evidence and helped by technological advances, Thomas's father has been found. Land records make the case. This presentation demonstrates the process of creating a proof argument to identify Thomas's father.
The Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG) will present “Finding Thomas' Father: an 18th Century Prince William County Virginia Case Study” by Pam Stone Eagleson, CG, free to the public at 8:00 p.m. EDT, 16 January 2018.
