Mary Louisa Stone was the daughter of Absalum Benjamin Stone & Sarah Hood Stone.  About 1849-1850 they moved to Jonesville, Harrison Co. TX from Montgomery Co. AL.   Her maternal grandparents also came to Harrison Co.  in the late 1840s and they were Henry Meriwether Hood & Mary M. Hood.  The Hoods and Stones were planters and were very wealthy.  Some time after the Civil War started the Hoods and the Stones moved to Austin & Washington Counties.  I have been told that after Murray closed that Mary Louisa (Manie) was sent to the school in Mansfield, LA.  I don't know how long she stayed there because there was a big battle in Mansfield and the school was used as a hospital.  In 1867 she married Dr. George Washington Bryan in Buckhorn, Austin Co. TX.  They are buried in the Campbell Cemetery in the Drane Community not far from Corsicana in Navarro County.
