I haven't worked on my Stout ancesto...Hi Karl,<br /><br />I haven't worked on my Stout ancestors in awhile due to being busy, and I haven't been able to prove or disprove who my Joseph Stout's parents were. <br /><br />My Joseph Stout was already living in Michigan by 1850, but before that census, I have not been able to find where he and his family were living. According to his son, Reuben,'s biography they were living in central Pennsylvania at the time, but Reuben's biography, as I noted, is unreliable when it comes to some of the facts. To make matters more difficult, there are a few Joseph Stouts listed in the 1840 Census living in Pennsylvania, so I haven't been able to determine which Joseph is my ancestor.<br /><br />As for Joseph's children, the names I have have come from his probate packet, the 1850 and 1860 Censuses and Reuben's biography. I should note that Joseph did not have a daughter named Rebecca, but one named Margaret, and I suspect that Margaret's name was incorrectly put down as Rebecca since Margaret's age was the same as the Rebecca listed. Of course, I could be wrong about the Rebecca/Margaret, but the only time I've come across the name Rebecca is in the 1850 census.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I do not have any information on any other Joseph Stout's at this time, and I haven't had a chance to go through the probate records from Eastern Pennsylvania. I don't know if we have a connection somewhere before our Joseph Stout ancestors, but there is a possibility. <br /><br />I wish I could tell you more at this point, but I hope this helps.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />JessicaJessica's thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15903978866148622833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253882682634493807.post-86840506828048308862016-02-09T11:46:35.853-05:002016-02-09T11:46:35.853-05:00I enjoyed reading your interesting and informative...I enjoyed reading your interesting and informative blog.<br /><br />My ancestor was also named Joseph Stout and lived in the Northampton area during the same time frame.<br /><br />I am wondering if in your research you came across any information that might help me identify the parents of "my" Joseph Stout.<br /><br />Beginning with me: Karl Stout (b 1961), David Stout, Karl (often listed as Carl) stout, Halsey Stout, Oliver Stout (born about 1844 Luzerne Co, PA), Joseph and Mary Stout (Joseph born about 1811). "My" Joseph and Mary Stout are listed in the 1850 census in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne, PA as being 39 and 29 years of age, and having Peter (11), John (10), Daniel (8), Oliver (6), and Adeline (1). In 1860 the family is still in PA (I believe) and have additional children: Henry, Stephen, Mary, Charles and Emma.<br /><br />I've been able to find a good amount of information on family members back to and including Oliver, but am at a roadblock with Oliver's listed parents, Joseph and Mary Stout. Perhaps the birthdates and/or names are wrong (?) Following numerous Stout family lines has only yielded a few remote possibilities(including the Northampton family you discuss). I did ask this question in a Stout forum several years ago, but did not get any responses.<br /><br />Thanks, Karl StoutAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323429163930808009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253882682634493807.post-58361866693974774582014-10-08T12:24:25.181-04:002014-10-08T12:24:25.181-04:00Thank you!!!

You are also spot on to question Rueben's biography since it has so many errors, and you are only partway into your research on this family. <br /><br />I wonder if the old man contributed patriotic service during the Civil War?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. This blog post is a prime example of how genealogists can use the Internet to spotligght ancestors, include scanned images of source docs and pose research challenges with the hopes of collaborating with a new found distant cousin.DearMYRTLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15684472865240981715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253882682634493807.post-50784743725424740792011-05-31T14:25:09.357-04:002011-05-31T14:25:09.357-04:00Hi Jessica,

Alwilda was married at least 2 and it looks like maybe 3 times after Jacob passed away. She was married to a Mr. Smith and had a son named Hector. He sometimes went by Hector Henry or Henry Hector. At first Hectors last name was Smith and when Alwilda married Henry Parker, Hector went by Parker, later he went back to using the Smith name. After Henry died I cannot find out what happened to Alwilda so the end of her story is as blank as her beginning. Would you be kind enough to share any clippings or information you have on Alwilda? Also would you have a photo to copy of her? I appreciated any information you may have. <br /><br />Sincerely, <br /><br />Maggie Giles <br />mlg0825@comcast.netmlg0825https://www.blogger.com/profile/06264287888369091522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253882682634493807.post-54149723157805469202011-04-13T21:57:03.569-04:002011-04-13T21:57:03.569-04:00Hi Jessica,
