Stony Brook :: Stony Brook has its source in Blackwater Pond, in Kingston, and flows for 1-1/2 miles southeasterly into Jones River. The brook, which is from 8 to 10 feet wide, is used principally for power, is obstructed by dams, and receives trade wastes in the form of vitriol. The public fishery on Stony Brook was established in 1802. A certain number of alewives are transported by the purchaser of the fishing rights over the dams at the tack factory of H. C. Cole, and the foundry of C. Drew, where there are no fish ways.
