General Notes: Husband - Christian Stoneman

---

He was one of the Mennonite pioneers who came to America with the Brubakers. In 1729, Hans Brubaker sold his mill and lower farm, upon which it was erected, containing one hundred and fifty acres, to Mr. Stoneman. This mill was erected along Little Conestoga Creek, at a point where a road leading from the Susquehanna River to Conestoga crossed. For the convenience of travelers and customers who carried their grist to his mill, Mr. Stoneman erected a bridge over the creek at his mill, which was completed in 1730. He continued to carry on milling at this place for more than twenty years.
Mr. Stoneman also purchased sixty-nine acres, in "Andrew Hamilton Manor," which adjoined his other land upon the southwest.

He was an exemplary member of the Society of Mennonites. On the 31st day of August, 1750, he conveyed one acre of land of his farm to John Jacob Brubaker and Ulrich Roadt, elders and trustees for the Society of Mennonites, upon which they had already built a meeting-house, and for a burying-ground. It adjoined the lands of Melchior and John Miers, and stood near the Columbus turnpike, upon the Abbeville farm, in Lancaster township.
