PG#-LN=506-47, 1 male < 16, 1 male >= 16, 2 females (William was 17 in 1790 if census before Aug - if anybody can tell me when the census occurred in 1790, please let me know - FR 08Aug2010)
DAR web site has supporting documentation of William and Polly Susannah being children of John.
The site also indicates John was in MCREE'S CO, NC REGT. Note that McRee was at the Siege of Charleston.

Interesting 1800 census rcd: Guilford, Salisbury District, Free White Males 16 to 25:1, Free White Males 45 and Over:1, Free White Females 16 to 25:1
In 1800, John(son)age?, William was 28, John(father) was 50, Polly Susannah was 23, Mary Polly was 47
Polly Susannah m. Patrick Sprint on 25Feb1796 at Frederick Cty Va, so it's doubtful she's the 16-25 female.
I think we can chalk this up as the wrong family.

At the bottom of pg 32 in Stone Connections by Robert H Stone c.1987: "Another family that probably belongs in this area of our series of charts is John Stone b. 1750 in Guilford County, NC He married Polly Russell in 1771, and died in 1827 Chatham County, NC His children were William Stone b. 1772 who married Rachel….; John Stone; and Polly Stone b.1777 who married Patrick Sprint."

infoJohn and his family lived in a log cabin that he and his brothers built in 1822, located on Chestnut Creek, near Blair's Forge, in what is now Carroll Co., VA. He was mainly a farmer but also a shoe cobbler, miller, blacksmith, and Primitive Baptist Preacher. John ran a grist mill, located about a mile from his cabin, and no one had breakfast until he got it going and returned. He was a strict taskmaster to his children and kept precise records of his purchases and sales. It was said that John was very fair in his business dealings, offering credit to those who couldn't pay right away. On the other hand, if someone was behind in paying him, they got no more credit. This applied not only to neighbors and friends but also to his sons and sons-in-law.
