STONE, Thomas (d.1604), of Trevigo in St. Minver, Cornw. MP for EAST LOOE in 1572
Only son of John Stone of Trevigo by Jane, daughter of John Callard of Callard, Devon. married Elizabeth, daughter of William Harris of Hayne, Devon, 2s. 2da. suc. fa. 1573.
Stone belonged to a minor Cornish gentry family which held several parcels of land in St. Minver, some of it from John Hender and John Trelawny. His return for East Looe was probably due to his relatives the Mohuns of Hall. In 1580 he was brought before the Privy Council for transporting grain out of Cornwall. In his latter years he was in poor health and there were rumours of his imminent death in January 1602. He must have been a man of some substance, for William Stallenge, a merchant of Plymouth, wrote to Cecil asking for the wardship of his son. When he died in July 1604, Sir George Gifford wrote to Cecil with the same object, ‘which will be a means for my delivery out of this wretched life of imprisonment’. These suitors presumably expected some immediate profit, probably from the marriage of Stone’s elder son and heir, William, as he was within five months of his 21st birthday at the time of his father’s death. Stone, who was buried 28 July 1604 in the church of St. Minver, appears to have left no will.
He was brother to Anne Stone who married Digory Hext son of Thomas Hext by his 1st wife. who was a daughter of Mille or MYLLE

Anthony Stone christened 22 July 1570 of St Minver 1626 Fisherman of St Endellion(61) & 1629 Fisherman of St Minver(27)
War with Spain and then France in the 1620s led to the surveys being needed. The idea for the surveys was for the Navy to ascertain how many seamen and maritime resources each parish had for the Admiralty to call upon. Francis Basset of Tehidy, Vice-Admiral of North Cornwall was commanded by the Duke of Buckingham to take a muster of the mariners and fishermen and shipping on the north Cornish coast.
These surveys recorded those men whose occupation and experience was seafaring, rather than local fishing villagers. The surveys were not interested in part -time sailors or small shipping below 5 tons. There was, apparently, difficulty in impressing both men and shipping. The ages of the men are not reliable - the ages given in each of the surveys in 1626 and 1629 do not correspond. They may not have known their ages, or they may have simply not wanted to appear young and useful!
The first muster was made on 1st August 1626. Padstow produced a total 35 men of which 10 were masters, 18 were sailors and 7 were fishermen, and 3 barques between 28 and 40 tons. Endellion produced a total of 43 men, all of whom were fishermen. In comparison, St Minver produced a total of just 17 fishermen.
The second muster was made in February 1629. This time Padstow produced 44 men of whom 4 were mariners, 30 were sailors and 10 were fishermen. Endellion - 50 - of whom 1 was a mariner, 35 were sailors and 14 were fishermen. St Minver - 15 - of whom 3 were sailors, 12 were fishermen.
Hearth Tax returns 1662 - payable by every householder whose house was worth more than 20 shillings a year and who paid church and poor rates were liable for hearth tax. Householders liable to the tax paid two shillings for each fire-hearth, one shilling at Michaelmas and one at Ladyday (25 March). Those not eligible had to provide the tax-collectors with an exemption certificate signed by the incumbent, churchwardens and overseers of the poor, and counter-signed by two Justices of the Peace.

The barton of Trevelver, (seen here ) successively the seat of the families of Stone, Silly, and Arundell is now a farm-house, the property of Mrs. Yeo, of Clifton, a descendant of the last-mentioned family.The Stones were in possession in 1573, as appears from the monument of John Stone, in the parish-church. The family of Silly were of Trevelver, as early as 1636: it was mortgaged by them in 1698Hore of Trenowth married the heiresses of Trenowth and Tregarthian, and a coheiress of Cavell.
Cavell of Trehaverock or Treharrick in St. Kew , see left ,married the coheiress of Trehaverock in the reign of Henry VII.
The coheiresses of Cavell married Vivian and Hore of Trenowth. This family had married also the coheiresses of Boniface, Knight, and Trecarren.Stone of Trevegoe, and Trevelver in St. Minver, and of Bodmin. — This family, descended from John Stephen atte Stone, whose son, Roger, married the heiress of Whitling about the middle of the fifteenth century, had a residence at Bodmin for several generations before 1603, when John Stone, Esq. was M. P. for that borough.
The 19th C parliamentary representative for Bodmin was Samuel Stone, Esq., who resided in London & a younger brother was a mercer in Bodmin.STONE, John (-d.1630), of Bodmin, Cornw. MP for BODMIN 1604 son of of John Stone of Bodmin and Elizabeth Garbie. married by 1594, Dorothy, 5sons. (3 d.v.p.) 3daughters. d.v.p. bur. 6 Jan. 1630.1 sig. John Stone.
Offices Held Capital burgess, Bodmin by 1599-at least 1620, mayor and j.p. 1600-3.2
Stone may have been distantly related to the minor gentry family of that name who lived at St. Minver, Cornwall, but his immediate background is obscure. His putative father was recorded in Bodmin during the 1560s and 1570s, but Stone himself cannot be firmly identified there until 1594, when he received one of the town’s highest subsidy tax assessments.
A merchant of Bodmin he served three consecutive terms as mayor of Bodmin between 1600 and 1603, and such prominence made him an obvious candidate to represent the borough in Parliament in 1604.
The only contribution which Stone definitely made to the Common’s proceedings was on 22 May that year, when he and his fellow Bodmin Member Nicholas Sprey were granted almost a month’s leave of absence, presumably to attend to borough affairs. In addition, on 20 June 1607 the House ordered either him or the Bath MP Christopher Stone to halt a lawsuit that he had brought in Common Pleas.
Still a capital burgess of Bodmin in 1620, Stone may have transferred his assets to his eldest son William before his death, since he ceased to appear in the district’s taxation records.
He was buried in the parish church in January 1630. Neither a will nor letters of administration have been found.
