1850:
Stone, Abraham View Image Online
State: Pennsylvania Year: 1850
County: Chester Roll: M432_766
Township: West Fallowfield Twp Page: 339
Image: 243

Image reads:
Abraham, 50, farmer, value of prop $2000, born PA (all born PA)
Rebecca, 46
Henry, 20
John, 17
Abraham, Jr. 16
Mary 12
Thomas 9
Rebecca 6
Hannah 6 or 4
Oliver 3/12

cannot be certain, but I think this is him in 1840 - the children's ages and
number match for 10 years earlier:
Stone, Abraham View Image Online
State: Pennsylvania Year: 1840
County: Chester Roll: M704_454
Township: Upper Oxford Page: 245

in 1830:
Stone, Abraham View Image Online
State: Pennsylvania Year: 1830
County: Chester Roll: M19_148
Township: Upper Oxford Page: 49
Image: 101
this Abraham shows 2 male children under the age of 5 - it is possible there
was a child that died...no daughters yet, adult male and female are in the
right age range

I find nothing relevant for 1820....due to ages of children, I would think
Abraham and Rebecca married somewhere between 1825 and 1830......perhaps you
can contact Upper Oxford Twp. to see what records they have....
