    LODOWICK BRODIE STONE.
    Lodowick Brodie Stone, a retired merchant and prominent farmer and stock
    raiser residing at Fayetteville, was born April 23, 1859, in the house which is
    still his home. He is a son of Stephen K. Stone, who was long one of the
    prominent, honored and valued citizens of Arkansas. He was almost a nonagenarian
    when death called him and had been a resident of Arkansas for nearly seventy
    years. His birth occurred in Oxford, North Carolina, September 25, 1819. The
    family is of English origin and was founded in America by Allen Stone,
    grandfather of Stephen K. Stone. He died in early life, survived by his son,
    Parker F. Stone, who was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1788. When about
    fifty-seven years of age Parker F. Stone removed to Arkansas, settling on Lee's
    creek, near Van Buren, where both he and his wife died. They were married in
    1811, Mrs. Stone bearing the maiden name of Kindness Hicks. She was born in
    Granville county, North Carolina, in 1793. Mr. and Mrs. Parker F. Stone became
    parents of the following named: Dr. Robert Stone, who spent his life in Stewart
    county, Tennessee; Harriet, who became the wife of Nathaniel Daniels and died in
    Mississippi; Sillie, who married Thomas Word and died in Tennessee; Allen, whose
    death occurred near Van Buren, Arkansas; Mary, who after becoming the widow of
    James Phillips married a Mr. Miller and died in Tennessee; Stephen K.; and
    Sophie, who married James Gatlin and departed this life in Tennessee.

    The youthful training of Stephen K. Stone was that of the farm bred boy and
    his education was obtained in the military school at Bingham, North Carolina.
    When fifteen years of age he left home and started out to provide for his own
    support by clerking in a store at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, while subsequently he
    became bookkeeper in an auction store in New Orleans, Louisiana. He next
    proceeded northward by way of the Mississippi as far as Vicksburg and there he
    again was employed as a salesman and bookkeeper. The 11th of June, 1840,
    witnessed his arrival in Fayetteville, Arkansas, at which time his cash capital
    consisted of but four hundred and fifty dollars. Here he entered the employ of
    others and in 1850 he established a family grocery store, to which he constantly
    added other lines of goods until he was engaged in the sale not only of
    groceries but of dry goods, hardware and implements, his original establishment
    having thus been converted into a small department store. At one time ha retired
    from active business but later joined a son in another venture, becoming a
    partner of the firm of B. H. Stone & Company. He possessed marked ability as a
    financier and displayed sound judgment in everything that he undertook. In order
    to meet the demands of a constantly expanding business he erected buildings and
    he also improved vacant property around the square as an investment, realizing
    the growing importance of the county seat. From time to fine he made purchases
    of property which constantly increased in value as the district became more
    thickly settled.

    Stephen K. Stone was married September 22, 1842, to Miss Amanda Malvina
    Brodie, a daughter of Lodowick Brodie, who established his home near
    Fayetteville in 1835. Mr. Brodie left Clarksville, Tennessee, with his family
    and traveled by wagon to Arkansas in 1834, spending one year in Benton county.
    He afterward engaged in general merchandising at Fayetteville from 1840 until
    1842 and then took up the occupation of farming. Following the discovery of gold
    in California he made his way to that state and spent two years upon the Pacific
    coast, making the return trip by way of the Isthmus of Panama. While en route,
    however, he became ill and died, being buried at sea. His daughter, Mrs. Stone,
    was but twelve years of age when on horseback she accompanied her uncle and
    aunt, Mr. and Mrs. James Brodie, to Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where she attended
    school, returning in the same manner in 1840.

    The father of Mrs. Stone was Lodowick Brodie, who was born at Oxford, North
    Carolina, September 22, 1800, a son of Dr. John Brodie, a native of Edinburgh,
    Scotland, who was graduated in the University of Edinburgh and in young manhood
    came to the United States. He wedded Mary Taylor, a cousin of Zachary Taylor,
    who later became president of the United States. Dr. and Mrs. Brodie were
    parents of the following named: Dr. John Brodie, Jr.; Thomas; Lewis; David;
    Nancy, who became the wife of Dr. Kittrell; Mary; Dr. David; Lodowick;
    Alexander; and James. Dr. Brodie, Sr., resided for many years in Montgomery
    county, Tennessee, and there both he and his wife lie buried. Lodowick Brodie
    was active in many ways. He built the first Methodist church in Fayetteville,
    also the first schoolhouse in the town in 1835. This building afterward became
    the first female academy west of the Mississippi river. The structure was a
    brick building and was the first of the kind in the county, occupying the
    present site of the Fayetteville high school. Lodowick Brodie was married twice.
    In 1821 he wedded Miss Matilda Anthony, daughter of William B. and Susan
    (McClain) Anthony, the latter a sister of Charles McClain, a soldier of General
    Harrison's army in the battle of Tippecanoe, in which he captured an Indian
    tomahawk that is now an heirloom in the family at Fort Smith. Lodowick and
    Matilda Brodie became parents of the following named: Crispes, born in 1S22;
    William, in 1823; Mrs. Stephen K. Stone, born October 15, 1825; and John, born
    in 1827. After the death of his first wife Mr. Brodie wedded Miss Amanda Malvina
    Anthony, a sister of bis former wife, and their children were as follows:
    Prairie. Susan, Adelaide, Jane, Mary, Ella, James. Thomas, Albert and Lewis. The
    grandfather of Mrs. Amanda M. Stone in the maternal line was William B. Anthony,
    a gallant soldier of the War of 1812, who enlisted September 24, 1813, as a
    private in Captain George Smith's company of spies. Dyer's regiment of mounted
    gunmen, of the Tennessee volunteers. He was honorably discharged April 30, 1814,
    after which he returned to his home at Gallatin, Sumner county, Tennessee. He
    reenlisted September 28, 1814, in Captain Moore's company. Second Regiment
    Mounted Gunmen, as a private, and was killed December 28, 1814, at the battle of
    Lake Borgne, Louisiana, when in defense of New Orleans under General Jackson.

    There are many interesting events related in connection with the history of
    the maternal ancestry from which Stephen K. Stone sprang. His grandfather was
    Captain Robert Hicks, who was the father of Kindness Hicks. Captain Hicks
    married a Miss Raven, of French-Huguenot lineage, whose maternal ancestors
    journeyed to England from France in order to escape the persecutions of the
    Catholics. They came from England to America during the colonial epoch in the
    history of the new world. Robert Hicks was a son of John Hicks, who lived for
    many years on Long Island, and Hicks street in Brooklyn was named in his honor.
    Captain Hicks spent his youthful days in North Carolina, the family home being
    there established about the time of the outbreak of the Revolutionary war. He
    joined the militia troops of North Carolina and at the battle of Guilford
    Courthouse his company was placed in front of the trained Colonials. Being
    untrained militia, all fled from the assault of the British save Robert Hicks,
    who scorned to retreat and single-handed fought the enemy. He finally escaped
    from the Red Coats, according to the records in the war department at
    Washington, and shared the dangers and glories of the struggle for independence.
    The records of North Carolina concerning that period show that Captain Hicks was
    issued certain certificates in payment for services rendered as a soldier in the
    Revolutionary war.

    It was from such ancestry that L. B. Stone sprang in the maternal line. His
    parents. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen K. Stone, had a family of seven children: Mary,
    who became the wife of George S. Albright of Fayetteville; Stephen R., a
    merchant of Olathe. Kansas; Benjamin H., of Fayetteville; William C, of Altus.
    Oklahoma; Lodowick Brodie, of Fayetteville; Amanda M.; and Albert Brodie, who is
    engaged in the practice of law. The mother gave the block of ground where the
    City Hospital of Fayetteville now stands. it then containing only a small brick
    building. It was her wish and will that this ground be used for the sake of
    humanity and on the board of trustees she appointed one member from every
    denomination, both Jews and Gentiles, represented in Fayetteville.

    Stephen K. Stone was a man of splendid business ability, adaptable, ready,
    alert and possessed of broad information. He was characterized by a genial
    manner, affability and generosity and was constantly extending a helping hand
    where aid was needed. He made a notable record in the achievement of success,
    hut it was his straightforward and creditable business policy that gained for
    him the high regard and goodwill of all with whom he came in contact. A
    contemporary biographer said of him: "In his relation to the city and public
    generally Mr. Stone was simply a modest, quiet citizen without ambition for
    politics or for public office. The nearest he came to holding an office was when
    he was made deputy postmaster at Fayetteville to protect his interests as a
    bondsman for the postmaster. He was reared a whig but when that party dissolved
    he became a democrat. He was not a party to any of the events of the Civil war
    but was in sympathy with the southern cause and gave it his moral support. He
    was a devout member of the Methodist Episcopal church and fraternally he was
    affiliated with the blue lodge of Masons and with Washington Chapter, No. 1, R.
    A. M."

    Lodowick Brodie Stone was educated in the University of Arkansas and in the
    Emory and Henry College at Emory, Virginia, being thus well qualified for life's
    practical and responsible duties. He afterward returned home and he and his
    brother, Benjamin H. Stone, purchased the father's store and carried on
    mercantile pursuits from 1880 until 1891, winning substantial success during
    that period. In the latter year they disposed of the store and purchased the
    farm of David Walker, who had built a large brick house upon the place prior to
    the Civil war. When hostilities between the North and South occurred Mr. Walker
    and his family removed southward and after the battle of Prairie Grove the Union
    army used the house as a hospital. L. B. Stone still owns the farm and he has
    altogether five hundred and fifty acres, constituting the best and most highly
    improved farm property in the county. Hereon he raises full-blooded shorthorn
    cattle, Shropshire sheep and Duroc hogs and is one of the most prominent stock
    raisers of this section of the state. He has made a most thorough study of
    scientific methods of farming and stock raising and his wide understanding and
    unfaltering industry have been strong features in the attainment of his
    present-day success.

    In 1884 Mr. Stone was married to Miss Juliet Thurmond, who was born in
    Nashville, Tennessee, a daughter of James M. and Prairie (Brodie) Thurmond. Her
    mother was born in a log cabin in Fayetteville. then considered the finest house
    in the town. Mr. Thurmond was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and they were
    married near Clarksville, that state. Removing to Fayetteville, Mr. Thurmond
    engaged in contracting and building. He afterward took up his abode in Texas,
    where he died in 1906. He was considered a very wealthy man for his day, owning
    one thousand acres of land, and was also successfully engaged in merchandising
    To Mr. and Mrs. Thurmond were born three children, of whom two are living, Mrs.
    Stone and Mrs. Mary Whitcomb, a widow residing in Groesbeck, Texas. Mr. and Mrs.
    Stone have become parents of a son. Dudley, who is engaged in merchandising at
    Pierce City, Missouri. He married Marie Roberts and they have one daughter,
    Juliet Annette Stone.

    Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Stone are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, with
    which they have been identified for many years. The grandfather, Lodowick
    Brodie, gave the lot upon which the church now stands to the society and thus
    for several generations representatives of the family have been closely
    associated with the moral development of the community as promoted through the
    activities of the Methodist church. In politics Mr. Stone has always been a
    democrat and he belongs to the Anti Horse-Thief Association. He still owns and
    occupies the house in which he was born, his father having purchased this large
    brick residence from Judge David Walker in 1858, the judge having erected the
    building ten years before. Through various connections Mr. Stone is closely
    associated with the pioneer development and later history of Fayetteville and
    the western portion of the state. He has long taken an active and prominent part
    in public affairs and his labors have been so directed that the results achieved
    have been most gratifying to the public. His memory forms a connecting link
    between the primitive past and the progressive present and there are few events
    which have to do with the history of Fayetteville and northwestern Arkansas with
    which he is not thoroughly acquainted.

    COLONEL THOMAS WILLIAMSON
    DESIGNATION: 2nd Regiment West Tennessee Volunteer Mounted Gunmen
    DATES: September 1814 - April 1815
    MEN MOSTLY FROM: Bedford, Davidson, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson, Wilson, Giles, and Smith Counties
    CAPTAINS: Giles Burdett, James Cook, John Crane, John Doak, John Dobbins, John Hutchings, William Martin, Anthony Metcalf, Robert Moore, James Nealy, James Pace, Thomas Porter, Thomas Scurry, Robert Steele, Richard Tate, Beverly Williams
    BRIEF HISTORY:
    Along with Colonel Robert Dyer's unit, this regiment was part of General John Coffee's brigade that fought at Pensacola and New Orleans. Marching from Fayetteville to Camp Gaines (30 miles from Fort Montgomery), they helped Jackson take the port of Pensacola from the Spanish on 7 November 1814. Williamson's men then participated in all of the engagements at New Orleans, where they were part of the left line of Jackson's breastworks. In March 1815 they returned to Tennessee via the Natchez Trace.

    COLONEL JOHN ALCORN

    DESIGNATION: 2nd Regiment of Volunteer Mounted Riflemen
    DATES: September 1813 - December 1813
    MEN MOSTLY FROM: Davidson, Rutherford, Sumner, and Wilson Counties (Winston's company from Madison County, Alabama)
    CAPTAINS: John Baskerville, Richard Boyd, Thomas Bradley, John Byrne, Robert Jetton, William Locke, Alexander McKeen, Frederick Stump, Daniel Ross, John Winston
    BRIEF HISTORY:
    Colonel John Coffee commanded this regiment until the end of October 1813, when Coffee was promoted to Brigadier General. John Alcorn took over as colonel and the unit was incorporated with Colonel Newton Cannon's Mounted Riflemen to form the Second Regiment of Volunteer Mounted Riflemen. The Second Regiment, along with Colonel Robert Dyer's First Regiment of Volunteer Mounted Gunmen, formed the brigade under John Coffee. Muster rolls reveal that the regiment went by various designations besides volunteer mounted riflemen: volunteer cavalry; mounted militia; or mounted gunmen.

    Many of the men from this unit were with Andrew Jackson on the expedition to Natchez (December 1812 - April 1813) and, consequently, felt their one-year's enlistment expired in December 1813. Jackson insisted that the time not spent in the field did not apply to the terms of enlistment. Hence, a dispute broke out between the troops and Jackson late in 1813. Most of the troops did leave by the end of that year, despite Jackson's strenuous efforts to keep them.

    The regiment participated in the battles at Tallushatchee and Talladega (3 November and 9 November 1813) and muster rolls show that practically all of the companies sustained casualties, the most being in Captain John Byrne's company. The regiment's line of march took them from Fayetteville (where the regiment was mustered in), through Huntsville, Fort Deposit, Fort Strother, to the battles, and back the reverse way.
