    Notes 
    • Annie Maye Stone Robinson, wrote this story in her "History of the Stones":

      John Stone was born in 1782 in Virginia and married Annie Lyle in 1804. Over the years they had 13 children and became pioneers from Virginia to South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. John and Annie first settled on a farm near Spartanburg, South Carolina. In addition to being a farmer, John became a hat maker and pioneer. In the fall of 1814, he enlisted six of his neighbors to join the army to help bring to a conclusion the War of 1812. They secured the best horses and flintlock rifles available in the community and with a supply of gun powder, bullets, and clothing started a journey to New Orleans to join General Andrew Jackson's army. John Stone was twenty-nine years of age at the time and left a wife and seven children to join the army.

      This journey carried the party of volunteers through Northern Georgia (then the Cherokee Nation), into Mississippi Territory (through many other Indian tribes). After weeks of travel through various unsettled areas during the winter of 1815 and before reaching New Orleans, the party met members of General Jackson's victorious battle of New Orleans returning to their homes in Tennessee with news of defeat of the British. The return trip to South Carolina in the spring of 1815 by a different route carried the volunteer party through other sections of the unsettled lands of what is now Mississippi, Alabama, and northern Georgia.

      John Stone reached his family and home in Spartanburg with a vivid impression of the rich lands, forest of giant trees, and numerous broad streams he had traveled through. He and his neighbors soon sold their farms in South Carolina and prepared to move southwestward. John and his family first settled in northern Georgia where new land was cleared and a farm was improved, but after a few years upon hearing that Alabama had been made a State, he sold this farm and with his family and friends started westward. They next settled in St. Clair County, Alabama. Another farm was cleared and a homestead established. After only a few years of farming on the hills of St. Clair County, the pioneer spirit and the desire for economic improvement prompted another venture. The St. Clair homestead was sold and with his family and friends, John Stone moved to the low lands of the Cahaba River in Bibb and Perry County, Alabama. Family stories have been repeated over the years of the entire family cutting away the cane break and planting corn without cultivation of any kind and producing thirty bushels of corn per acre. Fish and wild game were available in abundant quantities.

      Following a several overflows of the Cahaba River and the appearance of illness from typhoid and malarial fevers, another move was planned. John Stone heard of a new treaty between the U.S. government and the Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians on Dancing Rabbit Creek in Mississippi whereby a large tract of land in Alabama west of Gaine?s Trace was open to settlement. With their family and relatives, John and Annie Stone left the low lands of Bibb and Perry County for Northwest Marion County, Alabama. In the fall of 1936, they reached a place on Papaw Creek, now Bull Mountain Creek, in Northwest Marion County. Here they found a few white settlers, many of them known as squatters, who had perhaps moved in on the Indians before the treaty was made. John Stone purchased the squatters right from Henry Lockridge and also cleared additional land rights with the Government Land Agents. On October 6, 1836, they were among the first buyers of Chickasaw Indian land in west Marion County, Alabama. Their first 160 acres being Southwest fourth (SE1/4), Section 20, Township 9, Range 15, west Huntsville Meridian, the present site of Shottsville, Marion County, Alabama. Lockridge had built a log cabin and deadened timber on six acres of the land. This was John Stone?s last pioneer move.

      With his sons, son-in-laws, other relatives, and friends, John Stone bought squatters rights or entered into government land adjoining his tract. He and members of his family in addition to clearing land, building houses and roads, operated a blacksmith shop, shoemaking shop, and hat makers shop.

      A church was built nearby and named New Bethel, but the community soon took on the name of Stonetown and carried that name for other thirty years before it was changed to Shottsville for the Post Office that was established by that name.

      Annie Lyle Stone was a short, energetic woman and a great talker. She was widely and affectionately known the in the frontier communities where she lived as a midwife, practical nurse, and home remedy pioneer doctor. She made syrups, liniments, poultices, and plasters from herbs, barks, and other native ingredients available.

      Enthusiastically joining her husband and neighbors in all of their westward pioneer moves and adventures, Annie Lyle Stone made it her responsibility to see that the covered wagon was properly stocked with clothing, herbs for medicine, powder and bullets for the flintstocks to insure food from wild game during periods of hardships and disappointments. Seed for growing the next year?s crops on the new farm was an important part of the covered wagon cargo. The cows, sheep, and dogs were cared for by the women while the men were hunting game or clearing the route for travel. Annie, her daughters, and other women of the community took the seed from the cotton, the burrows from the wool, spun the thread, wove the fabric, and made clothing for all members of their families. They also knitted the socks, stockings, gloves, shawls, caps and jackets for all members of their families.

      Within their first ten years at Stonetown, Marion County, Alabama, all of Annie and John's thirteen children had married and were rearing their own families in the community. In 1846, at the age of sixty, Annie died leaving her husband, thirteen children, their spouses, numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. Annie Lyle Stone was one of the first pioneers to be buried on the hill overlooking her last homestead in what is now Shottsville Cemetery. John Stone died in 1869 and was buried next to Annie in the Shottsville Cemetery.
