William Patrick Stone was living at Mississippi Springs, Hinds County, Mississippi when daughter Sarah Katherine (Kate) Stone was born in 1841. He moved to Stonington Plantation, Delta, Madison Parish, Louisiana by 1855 where he died in December of that year leaving his wife and ten children. His widow, Amanda Ragan Stone, bought the property of Brokenburn in about 1860. According to Kate Stone’s diary, Brokenburn was a newly opened place when her mother bought it.
