Sir William Stone (died 1607) was a London mercer and Alderman who sold fabrics to the royal family.
[3] In January 1605, Anne of Denmark's vice-chamberlain George Carew, was given £6,108 from the treasury to pay her debt to Stone.
[4] In February 1607, Carew received another amount to pay the queen's debts to William Stone, to the goldsmith George Heriot, to Elias Tillier a linen draper, and the silkman Thomas Henshawe.
With Thomas Henshawe, and the brewer Francis Snellinge, he petitioned the Earl of Salisbury for a debt of £300 for goods sold to the French ambassador, Christophe de Harlay, Count of Beaumont.
[8] John Chamberlain wrote that Stone died at his house in Leyton on 14 September 1607 of a fever after drinking a quart of sack to toast King James' health.
