STONE, David, senator, born in Hope, North Carolina, 17 February, 1770; died in Raleigh, North Carolina, 7 October, 1818. His father, Zedekiah Stone. was a member of the Provincial congress at Halifax, North Carolina, in 1776, and for many years a state senator.

He was a member of the legislature in 1791-'4, judge of the supreme court of North Carolina in 1795-'8, and a member of congress in 1799-1801, having been chosen as a Democrat.
