Deacon John Stone (1765–1834) was an early citizen of Middlebury, Connecticut.
He joined the Middlebury Congregational Church on March 22, 1796, approximately a month after its founding.
Captain Stephen Stowe left his family to help soldiers who had been taken prisoner by the British during the Revolutionary War.
Their daughter Esther Stone married the Reverend Bennet Tyler, the minister in Woodbury from 1808 to 1822, and the fifth president of Dartmouth College from 1822 to 1828.
Deacon Stone died on August 7, 1834, and is buried next to his wife in the Middlebury Cemetery.
