Note on Husband: John STONE

John Stone was only 19 when he sailed for Australia on the Young Australia which sailed from Plymouth on 20 May 1865. On board ship he became friendly with John Hamlyn and his wife from Bigbury. During the voyage Hamlyn contracted scarlet fever, and was quarantined on arrival at Dunwich on 20 August 1865. He asked friend and fellow emigrant John Stone to look after his wife and family if he should die. . There was no cure for the disease, and John Hamlyn died in quarantine and was buried the next day, 3 September 1865. Good to his word, John Stone married Sarah Crocker Hamlyn, nee Loye, and stepfather to her two young children. He and Sarah had one son of their own.

John was a devout member of the Salvation Army
