| Notes |
- I hired a researcher at the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society and, despite seeing various listings on the internet as to who Christian Stoner's parents were, the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society was unable to come up with any proof as to who his parents were. They feel, with a great deal of certainty, that his grandfather was Henry Stover/Stauffer, who died in 1739 in Martic Twp., Lancaster Co., PA.

Christian Stoner was of German heritage and was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He was a land owner and a farmer. He was a Mennonite and because of his faith and the early training that was opposed to wars and revolutions, he as well as other members of the same faith refused to take up arms when the rebellion broke out between the 13 colonies and the motherland. When the Americans gained their independence, Christian Stoner became a sufferer from persecution by the Americans, because of his early steadfastness to his principles. Feeling it would be safer to live under British rule, he came to Canada in the early part of the 1790's and located in Welland County, where he took up 400 acres of land. Returning to Pennsylvania, he persuaded a number of relatives and friends to follow him to Canada, where they could find freedom, make a home and keep the faith of their fathers. Christian Stoner returned to Canada with his wife and children and located in Humberstone Township on his 400 acres, where a colony from Bucks County was beginning to be established. The remainder of his life he spent on the farm, where both he and his wife later died. Mr. Stoner took no part in public affairs, but was a firm adherent of the Mennonite Church. They had 12 children.
