Stone, Barton Warren (1772–1844), is alluded to in “Villagers” (97); see also the note at 97.10–11. He was an eminent frontier evangelist born in Port Tobacco, Maryland, and reared there and in Virginia. Early in the nineteenth century, he became a leader in the Christian Church. In the 1830s he guided most of his group into union with the Disciples of Christ, led by Thomas and Alexander Campbell (see the note at 112.3). The grandfather of Clemens’s best friend, William Bowen, Stone died at the Bowen home in November 1844 (Hill, 734; MTBus, 24).
