| His identification as one of the three unnamed male triplets born to William York in Exeter in 1828 comes from a few different pieces of information. His surname was changed to Stone in 1847. Then his Jan 1848 marriage record in Newburyport under the name of John Q. A. Stone says he was age 20, suggesting birth in 1827. But as there were not children of William York born in 1827 he most likely was actually 19 when married and one of the triplets. The marriage record in the Newburyport vital records also said he was son of "William and Mary York Stone." Finally there is a newspaper article published later in his life referencing the fact that he was born a triplet (see below.)
While living in Exeter John had his last name changed to Stone by an act of the State Legislature on 2 Jul 1847. At the same time Oliver E. York and Jacob D. York, also both of Exeter, had their surnames changed to Stone as well.

Finally there is a newspaper article published later in his life re[New Hampshire Statesman, 13 Aug 1847, v.27, issue 1368] No relation between the three was given but they are likely all brothers.
At the time of his marriage in 1848 he gave his occupation as printer. He was in the newspaper business most of his life. He learned his trade in the offices of the Newburyport Herald. ["Farewell to a Friend," Newburyport Daily News, 8 Dec 1890, p.4]
They had an unnamed male child born in Newburyport on 2 Mar 1848 at which time his occupation was given as cordwainer for some reason. This child does not appear in the subsequent 1850 census so apparently died young.
As of the 1850 census he was living in Newburyport as a printer with his wife Eliza, and no children included. By the time of the 1855 state census their second son Everett was living with them, still in Newburyport.
In the late 1850s he moved down to Killingly, Conn. where he became editor of the Windham County Transcript, a paper that he eventually came to own. They appear in the 1860 census of Killingly in July. Their second son Frank, age 1, was with them and as he was born in Massachusetts they likely moved at some point after he was born. The 1870 census finds them still in Killingly and John is now said to be a publisher so likely owned the paper by this point. They owned a home worth $6000 with a personal estate worth $8000. Their son Everett now worked as a printer, likely for his father.
The 1870 census found them on Spring Street in the Danielson borough of Killingly. His occupation was back to saying 'editor.' Both John and his wife Eliza died before the 1900 census was taken.
Multiple newspapers in 1873 and 1874 show that he was the Republican nominee for Connecticut Secretary of State in those years' elections, but he lost to the Democrat both times. |

Andrew Jackson York
M, b. 9 June 1828, d. 26 Mar 1830-6 Apr1830
This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
| Birth* | Andrew Jackson York was born on 9 June 1828 in Exeter, Rockingham County, New HampshireG.1 |
| Death* | He died 26 Mar 1830-6 Apr1830 in Exeter, Rockingham County, New HampshireG. On p.12 of the Exeter Town Records on FamilySearch.org is the death record of "a child of William York." The date is illegible but is between 26 March and 15 May 1830. After the mention of the death are more words that appear to be "o[--torn] of three born [at a birth?] [torn]." This obviously references one of his three male triplets born in 1828. The Dover newspaper account of his death did not give the date of death but the newspaper was published on 6 Apr 1830. It mentioned that he was "one of a trio-birth." The 1830 census, taken on June 1st, shows only two sons under the age of five so that is further evidence that he died at that time.2,3 |

- His deathl record shows his age as 67-2-8 on 1 Feb 1898, which calculates exactly to 24 Nov 1830, matching the unnamed son of William York of Exeter born on that date. He was obviously named after the older triplet who died earlier that year.

Edward Stevens York
M, b. say 1767
This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
| Birth* | Edward Stevens York was born say 1767 in New HampshireG. If born before 1769 it was probably in Epping, NH where his parents were likely living at that time. His father was first recorded as clearing land in Wakefield, NH in 1769 so if Edward was born after that point it may have been in Wakefield.1,2 |
| He is likely the Edward York enumerated in the 1790 census of Shapleigh, Maine (where his father also lived at the time). Edward was living alone and aged over 16. |

- He was age 16 and up in the 1790 census, and apparently had a son born in 1791. The cemetery record for Edward S. York in Brighton, Maine in 1849 states that he was age 70, which suggests a birth year of 1779. But that doesn't fit for a man with a son born in 1791 so either his age at death is wrong or that is not the correct Edward S. York.
