His father, John Stoneman, was born in England in 1808, was reared and educated in his native land, and in an early day crossed the ocean to the New World, taking up his residence in Racine county), Wi., where he worked in shingle mills. In that county he wedded Miss Mary Venia, a native of Canada, and in 1855 brought his wife to Door county, locating in the midst of the forest upon a tract of wild land in Forestville township. There he developed and improved a fine farm, upon which he made his home until his death, which occurred in May, 1885. He took quite an active part in political affairs, supported the Democratic party, and served his fellow citizens as town clerl; in religious belief he was a Catholic. His wife preceded him to the better world, having passed away April 17, 1884. They had a family of seventeen children, six of whom are now living, and we have the record of the following: John is now deceased; William, who enlisted in Company E, Fourteenth Wis,. V.K. during the Civil war, died in the hospital of New Albany, Ind., while in the service; Sophia is the wife of Andrew Sloan, of Forestville township; Luke resides in Nasewaupee township; Emily is the wife of Ashley Coffrin, of Sturgeon Bay; George resides at Egg Harbor; Joseph comes next in order of birth; William is married and lives in Nasewaupee Township....

Uncertain if this is correct cemetery where John and Mary Stoneman are buried. If it is, no HEADSTONE remains, as I have walked the entire cemetery.

QUESTION: Was John Stoneman married twice? Are these both his families, on the 1850 & 1860 CENSUS? Was one wife born in Connecticut, and a second wife born in Canada
