NOTE: This tree is a "work in progress". Many of the notes are incomplete and some links will not work correctly, especially when inside a Scrapbook. I still have much data to add and apologise to those contributors whose information has not yet been added. My sincere thanks to all.I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist or conflict with other sources. Individuals with uncertain details have a (See Notes) label attached to their name.
Any photos will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. These allow only a limited amount of text so I will be adding feature pages containing more detailed notes, photos and links. These will appear at the right of the Scrapbook links. NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You can use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.
Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically excluded, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.
If you do find errors, conflicts or would like to update your line please let me know. Webmaster
Details from: University of South Carolina
In 1774 the immigrant John ("Captain Jack") Stoney of Knockshegowna, Tipperary, Ireland, his wife Elizabeth, nee Caulfield, and their two-year old son James, arrived in South Carolina.
In 1784 he bought Lots 13 and 14, 422 acres of Bayley's Barony on the north side of Broad Creek, the nucleus of Otterburn.
During the Revolutionary War Captain Jack had a Privateer, Saucy Jack, built for him by Hobcaw Bffly Pritchard at his shipyard near Charleston, with which ship he is said to have been very successful, operating with a letter of Marque. There is also evidence that he commissioned a second vessel, the Privateer Coyernor Middleton, built by Pritchard during the War of 1812.In 1788 Captain Jack was associated with planter Isaac FRIPP in building Zion Chapel (Episcopal) at the head of Broad Creek.
He died in 1821 at Fish Haul Plantation as a result of a hunting accident and was buried here, his remains later being removed to Zion Cemetery.
NOTE: John's son, James, is buried at the Zion Chapel, but there is no stone for Captain John.
See Heritage Library Foundation for details and photos of the Zion Chapel at Hilton Head.
Details of Otterborn Plantation: From University of South Carolina
Otterburn 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.
NOTE: Edward's first marriage is said to be to Mary Bower Williamson, on 8 Jun 1783. Official LDS records show their son as Edward, born 6 Nov 1785, baptised at St Helena Parish, Beaufort on 5 Jan 1786, son of Edward Barnwell and Mary Bower. No other children have been found, so it is assumed Mary died and he married another Mary in 1790.
Official LDS records show Edward married Mary WIGG at St Helena Island on 29 Jul 1790. However, submitted entries show the place of marriage at John's Island, Charleston SC., and show Mary's name as HUTSON. Other reports show HUTSON as Mary Wigg's middle name. This seems most likely, but any documented evidence would be appreciated.

Notes from: "The Story of an American Family" p.23
Anne Barnwell married four times but had children only by the second husband. She married first, March 29, 1726 Thomas Stanyarne, son of Colonel James Stanyarne who had been on the Council from 1671 to 1693. The Stanyarnes planted on John's Island and were closely connected to the Woodwards and Gibbes. In time their descendants were much interrelated.
