Anna's maiden name may have been Bullard instead of Stone. Ann was not mentioned in the will of Simon Stone in 1665. Instead of marrying Lewis Jones, this Ann Stone may have married a Mr. Orne and she died shortly afterwards. [see Anne's father for further information on the Orne family]. If true, then this would prune the following families from the family tree: STONE(7+3), CLARK(2), STRONG(1). (note: the numbers in the parenthesis after each surname represents the number of ancestors with that surnames involved plus the number of ancestral wives without maiden names).
