I'm not sure, but I think what Ish had in mind was a trench on the outside of your house, around the perimiter. Into the trench you'd put a some sort of piping that would collect water and then drain it away from the foundation of the house. If that is what Ish had in mind, it would not involve disturbing your stone foundation.

Your house sounds like my mother's house in Michigan. It's an 1857 brick farmhouse, with stone foundation and with a basement that has an earthen floor. It is quite damp down there. I used to go down there as a kid, but now shudder at the though of entering that space.
