He had been a member of the Society of Constitional Informaqtion and was a coal merchant at Rutland Place, Thames Street with his brothers John Hurford and Henry. A (presumably different) William Stone spoke in early July 1795 at a meeting of merchants at London Tavern, perhaps he was the William Stone wine merchant of 2, Northumberland Street, Strand in 1791. There was also Francis Stone DNB 1738-1813…
