NOTE: Some reports say that James was born on Hilton Head Island in 1775, but he was already 2 years old when he arrived in South Carolina with his parents in 1774.
He is buried at the Zion Chapel of Ease, Hilton Head Island (built under the direction of his father & Isaac Fripp). His headstone reads:
SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF JAMES STONEY WHO DIED AT HIS LATE RESIDENCE ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND, ST. LUKES PARISH

Details of Otterborn Plantation: From University of South CarolinaOtterburn Plantation (Otter Hall, Otter Hole) the 900-acre plantation bearing the appellation of Otterburn, then Otter Hall and presently Otter Hole, was part of Bayley's Barony, Lots 12-15 of the Mosse Survey which shows it as chiefly held by planters Thomas Bull and Jeremiah Sayre.
By 1793 when he married Elizabeth, sixteen year old daughter of Dr. George Mosse, at her father's home in Savannah, Otterburn was owned by James Stoney, son of Captain John Stoney. Only two of their fifteen children survived to maturity, their son, Dr. George Mosse Stoney, born 1795, inheriting Otterburn which he planted while also practicing medicine on the Island and in Beaufort where he built the large mansion which was known for years as the Sea Island Hotel.
After his death in 1854 his daughter Emma married Middleton Stuart in 1855 and inherited Otterburn. The Direct Tax Commission sold it in 1865 for unpaid extortionate federal taxes; the Sea Island Cotton Company sold it in 1888 to the United States Cotton Company which went bankrupt in 1896 at which time W. J. Verdier bought it, later selling to F. E. Wilder who sold to W. L. Hurley whence it went to Thorne and Loomis as Otter Hole.
Robert & Sarah are 4x great grandparents of Sean Scott Jeffries, whose website can be found HERE
NOTE: The birth date for Sarah is only 5 months after her sister, Martha, so these dates are probably baptisms.

William was captured by the British in 1776.
See details of Wiiiam at: http://www.seanjefferies.com/family_history/Norton/WNI14_documentary.html
This could be the father of William Joyner, whose daughters, Annie H and Eliza Hann Joyner both married Edward Fripp (father of Annie Perry Fripp & Ed St. James Fripp)
William Joyner's daughter, Margaret Joyner, married Rev. William T. Brantley, who conducted the service of Elizabeth's brother, William Norton, in 1817.
Elizabeth (nee Norton) was known as Elizabeth Joyner in 1776, when her brother, William Norton was captured by the British. When hearing that he was sick, she rode on horseback to the British camp, with a permit she had obtained from their commander, asking for her brother. Having him placed on a horse, she returned, leading the horse right by their troops. She wore a cap with a white feather in it to show that she was on the American side. Every British officer pulled off his cap as she passed, and the ranks were opened for her to pass through.
Further details of Elizabeth (later Aunt Graham) at: http://www.seanjefferies.com/family_history/Norton/WNI14_documentary.html
Elizabeth is said to have first married a Mr Joyner, before her marriage to Rev. William E. Graham. She never gave birth to her own children, but raised her step-children, who must have been the children of Rev. William E. Graham & Sarah Fripp.
She is mentioned several times on a website HERE, which gives several sources.
The first item is from the "Norton & Mosse family records" held at the South Carolina Historical Society Fireproof Building, 100 Meeting Street, Charleston, South Carolina, 29401
During the old Revolutionary War of Seventy-Six our grandfather served, that is William Norton. He was captured by the British. His sister, Elizabeth Joyner, afterwards Graham (the "Aunt Graham" of the narrative), hearing that he was sick, rode on horseback to the enemy's camp, with a permit she had obtained from their commander, asking for her brother. Having him placed on a horse, she returned, leading the horse right by their troops. She wore a cap with a white feather in it to show that she was on the American side. Every British officer pulled off his cap as she passed, and the ranks were opened for her to pass through. The Yankee army never did anything like that. She died at the house of her nephew and niece, Robert G. and Sarah Mosse Norton. The first one who was buried in Robertville Churchyard in 1832. She was 83 years old. The next one buried there was Rev. Martin Swift, the pastor of that church.
Aunt Graham had stepchildren only, for one of whom the village of Grahamville is named.Grahamville is said to be named after Captain John Graham (1784-1833), who is thought to be a son of Rev. William Eastwick Graham & Sarah Fripp, although no documented details have been located at present.
Notes from: http://www.seanjefferies.com/family_history/Norton/GMI520_documentary.html#title4Dr. Mosse and Dorothy Phoebe Norton were parents of seven children, all daughters, all of whom they raised and lived to see well-married. The first five children were all baptized in St. Helena's Church, but in 1789 Dr. Mosse was talked, by Rev. Joseph Cook of Euhaw, into joining the Baptists, as were ultimately his brother-in-law, William Norton, and even his sister-in-law, ELIZABETH NORTON GRAHAM. This wealthy and highly respected lady, known by all the Mosse sisters as "Aunt Graham", was the wife of the Rev. WILLIAM EASTWICK GRAHAM who was sent by the Bishop of London in 1775 to be Rector of Prince William Parish.
Following the barabarous destruction of his elegant Church at Sheldon (Prince William), by General Augustine Prevost in May 1779, he espoused the American cause and was frequently associated with Dr. Mosse in ventures on behalf of the patriots. He was also the owner of plantation lands on Hilton Head Island adjoining his nephew, William Pope, Sr.
Shortly after 1790 Dr. Mosse moved his family to Savannah where they lived on the southeast corner of Broughton and West Broad Streets. In February 1793 his sixteen year old daughter, Elizabeth, there married James Stoney of 770-acre Otterburn (variously Otter Hall and Otter Hole) Plantation, Hilton Head Island. -- REFERENCE: Tales of Ante Bellum Hilton Head Island Families; Hilton Head Island and Our Family Circle; pp. 3-4; Peoples, Rev. Robert E. H.; S. Carolina; 1970
The following Judgement Roll at SCDAH appears to show a dispute between Elizabeth Graham (nee Norton) and Benjamin Reynolds, over the land that Rev. William Eastwick Graham bought off of Benjamin in 1786. Most of the names mentioned are William's previous children (with Sarah Fripp) and their spouses:
