Barbara or Barbary Stone
=== Uncertain Origin ===Barbary or Barbara was born 5 March 1653/4, Her death is recorded in the parish register of St. Paul's Parish, Baltimore County, Maryland, where it also says, aged 79 years 5 March next.<ref>Reamy, Bill and Martha. Records of St. Paul's Parish. Vol. I. Westminster, Maryland: Family Line Publications, 1988.</ref> She may have been born in Anne Arundel County, but it is unlikely she was born in Baltimore County as it was populated by few Europeans at this time.
Dennis Garrett and Thomas Stone purchased 100 acres, called "Long Island Point," from Edward Mumford on 2 March 1685. Dennis and Barbary made their family home at "Long Island Point." A few months after Dennis was unexpectedly killed by a sword blow in 1691, Thomas Stone relinquished his share of this property to Barbary, giving her sole ownership of her home.<ref name="OvermireTS">Overmire, Larry, [http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=glencoe&id=I55284 Thomas (of Stone?s Desire) ** Stone] Genealogy of Fast, Shriver, Burns, Scott, McKibben, Including Descendants of Revolutionary War Veteran Christian Fast, November 23, 2004, accessed December 11, 2014</ref>
Some researchers have tried to use this gift as evidence of parentage for Barbary, but the wording of the deed is clear. Thomas Stone wrote:<blockquote>I Thomas Stone for and in consideration of the tender love and affection which I had to Dennis Garrett, deceased and for and in consideration of the love and affection which [torn] to his children lawfullly begotten of the body of Barbary Garrett his wife. ...</blockquote> He had "tender love and affection" for Dennis and "love and affection" for his children. Stone did not say he had "love and affection" for Barbary. Were these the words of a father, or a loyal friend and business partner?
Official records of this period were carefully worded, and typically, a father would have worded it differently. "Love and affection" for Barbary would have been appropriate, if she were related to him. Fisher concludes that there is no proof of Thomas Stone as the father of Barbary.<ref name="Fisher"/> The complete deed follows.

===Note===
Deed of gift added as transcribed by Seely Foley to prove there is no mention of relationship in this deed between Barbary Garrett and Thomas Stone. I also made the marriage date a guess and took out location. The earliest parish records only go back to 1710. The earliest land records in Baltimore County begin in 1661.

=== Baltimore County Wills Liber 2/285 ===
ABSTRACT: The will of Barbara Broad gives a brief picture of an elderly woman concerned about giving her few possessions away to the remaining members of her family. The will was signed by Barbara on 19 JAN 1732 and gives direct evidence of her surviving heirs. The only son mentioned is Thomas Broad. He is named the executor and left all of her things that are currently in his possession. She also specifically mentions that he should have two iron pots, one spit, two pot drammells, two chests, one pewter dish and three pewter plates. She also names Charles Gorsuch a co-executor of her estate. Sarah Gorsuch, the wife of Charles Gorsuch, is called her granddaughter and left her bed and bed clothes, one large pewter dish, three pewter plates, one apron and two shifts. Barbara next mentions her daughter, Frances Haile, but does not mention the name of her husband. This likely means her daughter was a widow by 1732. Frances is left one large petticoat, one new apron and one shift. Barbara leaves her granddaughter, Barbara Broad, the daughter of Thomas one linsey woolsey gown and petticoat. Lastly, Barbara leaves her blue apron to Ann Broad, the wife of Thomas. The will was proved at court on 6 AUG 1733 by the witnesses: Hannah Green, John Merryman Sr. and Francis Hinkley. This would have been about 7 months after she wrote it since the year 1732 would’ve turned to 1733 in March at this time. <ref>"Maryland, Register of Wills Records, 1629-1999," images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-24151-27832-71?cc=1803986&wc=SNYW-RM3:146536801,150556101 : accessed 23 January 2015), Baltimore > Wills 1721-1763 vol 2 > image 166 of 211; Hall of Records, Annapolis.</ref>

After the death of her second husband, Barbara Broad recorded the document transcribed below into the Baltimore Land Records. This was apparently to pass ownership of some animals and some household goods to her children by her second husband, John Broad, and her grandson by her daughter Hannah and her husband John Cole. This document looks like a will and is confusing because she did not die until 21 years later. Perhaps Barbara thought she was close to death. It is not unusual to find documents transfering personal property located in the Maryland land records. One wonders if her son ever ran off with Grace Ramsey.
To all Christian people to whome this present writing shall come I Barbara Broad of Back River in the county of Baltimore in the province of Maryland widow send greeting in our lord God everlasting. Know ye that Barbara Broad being of good and perfect mind and for the good will and affection which I have and bear to my own children, Thomas Broad my son and Jane Broad my daughter and Dennis Garret Cole my grandson by John Cole and Hannah his wife and for other causes and considerations me hereunto moving have given granted by these presents do freely give and grant unto my said grandson Dennis Garret Cole one heifer with her first calf, one ewe with lamb and the first colt my mare called Spirit shall bring to have and to hold the same and with their increase to him and assigns forever. Unto my son Thomas Broad & Jane Broad all the remainer of my goods, wares household stuff, plate, ready money, chatles implements and all other things alive or dead whatsover they be and in whose hands or possession and ever the same or any of them or any part thereof can or may be found as well in the tenement and apurtenances wherein I now dwell or anywhere else whatsover they the said son Thomas and daughter Jane giving me decent burial and payment of all my just debts by me owing or shall be owing at my decease to be by them in equal proportion by them to be paid and discharged to have and to hold all the above said premises to my son & daughter above mention to their proper use and behoof by them all equally to be divided between them as near as they can after my decease to them and their assigns forever. I remain in doubt my son Thomas shall or may prove undutiful and marry or go away with Grace Ramsey which god forbid against my will now if he should marry or go away with the said Grace Ramsey either before or after my death I give unto my above stated daughter Jane my whole ?? as above except one shilling which I give my son Thos. above stated unto her and her asigns forever to her own proper use and behoof and the said Barbara Broad in witness have hereunto set my hand and seal that 11 AUG 1712. Signed in the presence of Henry King, Mary Stevenson, Edw. Stevenson and Eliz. Stephenson.
John Broad's will on 18 Sep 1702 - 16 Jan 1709, referred to minors Thomas and Jean/Jane. Deed 11 Aug 1712, Barbara conveyed all of her possessions to my own children Thomas and Jane Broad. Dennis and Barbara had children Francis 1670 and Johannah who married John Cole.
