Notes for John Henley “Jack” (Spouse 1)
John Henley Tone was one of the earliest settlers of San Joaquin County . He came overland to California and within a year had settled on the farm site still occupied by his descendants. Tone farmed wheat, barley and livestock. In 1855 Tone married Alice Walsh who bore him eight children, of whom seven survived into the twentieth century. The six Tone daughters became Mrs. John T. [Mary] Doyle, Mrs. S.M. [Margaret] Storer of San Pedro, Mrs. F.B. [Catherine]Cluff of New York, Mrs. R.J. [Ella] Benjamin, Mrs. H.J. [Anna] Condit of Stanislaus County and Miss Alice Tone. John Nicholas Tone was the sole male offspring. John N. Tone, who inherited the family lands, married Grace Talbot . They had six children: Margaret, Alice, John, Mary, Richard and Theodore. Their son, John Harold Tone and his wife Marjory, presently raise Arabian horses on the Jack Tone Ranch. Alice Tone Gibbons , second child of John N. and Grace Talbot Tone, was a long-time amateur historian who published articles on various San Joaquin County topics in the local press. Her most important work was My Pioneer Grandfather, John Henley Tone . Mary Gene Tone Kerr , fourth child of John Nicholas Tone, was a nurse living in San Francisco.
