McDonald-Stone (family) : Joel Stone (1749-1823), a Connecticut Loyalist, served with the Wentworth Volunteers and was subsequently evacuated to England. He immigrated to Canada,and in 1786, settled at Gananoque, where he was active in the Leeds County militia. He also served on the Commission on Forfeited Estates from 1816 to 1821.

Joel's daughter, Mary, married Charles, the son of John McDonald (fl. 1770-1790), a Scot who had settled in Athol County, N.Y. Their descendants, William Stone and Herbert Stone McDonald, were prominent in the affairs of Leeds County.

The Baker branch of the family, Sarah and her sons William and Francis, emigrated from Batavia, N.Y. around 1830. Mrs. Sarah Baker married William Bush in 1846 and the Reverend William Smart in 1862.
