This photo is from William Haight Harrison’s 1927 trip to Monkton. Does anyone know if this place in Barnumtown still stands?
John Thomas, from Connecticut, came to Monkton in 1796, where he died in 1799, leaving a wife and nine children. Mrs. Thomas married Dr. Dan Stone in 1880. Dan Stone, from Connecticut, a graduate of Williams College, came to Monkton in 1795, and engaged in the practice of medicine, becoming one of the most prominent physicians in this region. [His son] Charles became a farmer and died here in 1857, aged 53 years.
