Descendants of Joseph Cone

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

1.  JOSEPH2 CONE (WILLIAM1) was born May 17, 1772 in North Carolina, and died April 13, 1839 in Thomas Co., Ga.  He married MARY ELIZABETH STEWART February 17, 1796 in Georgia, daughter of ALEXANDER STEWART and HANNAH HULL.  She was born January 08, 1772 in Isle of Skye, Scotland, and died August 26, 1848 in Thomas Co., Ga.

 

Notes for JOSEPH CONE:

Joseph Cone moved from South Carolina to Georgia with his father and grew up in Effingham, Screven and Bulloch Counties.  About 1801 he moved to Glynn County.  This land became a part of Camden County in 1805.  The Cone family lived in that part of Camden County that became Charlton County.  For a brief period they lived in Houston County, Ga.  He moved to Thomas County, Ga. about 1826, about five years after the formation of Thomas County.

 

Joseph Cone, after many years residence in Bulloch County, Ga., became one of the early settlers of Thomas County, Ga.  He settled on the Aucilla Creek, probably on Land Lot 227 in Land District 13.  This is where he bought timbered land and improved a farm.  He resided there until his death.  The Cone Cemetery is located either in Land Lot 227 or in adjacent Lot No. 234.  Joseph married Mary Elizabeth Stewart, whose parents, Alexander Stewart and Hannah (Hull), came to America from their native Scotland.  After a residence of a few years in America they returned to Scotland.

 

Joseph Cone's estate was settled at the Thomasville Court House in 1840.  One of his sons-in-law who showed up for a share of the estate was John Stafford, who was the second husband of Hannah Cone.   (Her first husband was Samuel Perkins.)  Both of her marriages are recorded in the court records of Camden County, Georgia.  As Hannah Stafford she witnessed a deed transaction of her father's on Jan. 9, 1823.  This record involved property in Monroe County, Ga. and is recorded in that county's Deed Book B on pages 78 & 79.  Information on Hannah Cone was almost lost until the 1850 census record of Walton County, Florida provided more family data.

 

Joseph Cone bought a lot in Barwick in 1826.  Thomas County was opened for settlement by the 1820 Lottery.  This lot (Land Lot # 203) was west of the railroad in the present town of Barwick and contained approximately 290 acres.  He paid $600 for the land lot at Barwick which was a high price.  The deeds were witnessed by James Lovett and James D. Cone.  It is apparent that Joseph Cone was not in Thomas County at the time of this purchase.  Apparently James D. Cone and James Lovett arranged this transaction.  Joseph did not clear or settle this lot.  He sold this lot soon after coming to Thomas County.  He moved on down the Coffee Road to a point about one mile south of the present Eason Crossing on U.S. Hwy 84.  This was about one mile south of where Old Boston was later located.  He purchase and settled on land lot # 234.  This lot is where he established the Cone Cemetery.  He was a farmer and dabbled in real estate sales.
