| Notes |
I now bring forward the seventh and last son of Richard the first (Davifd Stout). It is said he was born in the year 1669, and that he was married to Rebecca Ashton, and lived in Middletown on land, part of which is now in the possession of Dennis Hendrickson. |
He had by the said wife five sons and three daughters, viz: James, Freegift, David, Joseph, Benjamin, Rebecca, Sarah, Deliverance. He continued his residence at Middletown, a near neighbor to Obediah Holmes, who had married his wife's sister Alice, until he had raised his family, and two of them were married -- James and Rebecca, whom he settled in Upper Freehold, with each of them a hundred acres of land. James, the eldest son of David, was married in the year 1712 to Catherine Simson, by whom he had seven children, six sons and one daughter, viz: John, James, Joseph, David, Jacob, Jonathan, and Rebecca. After he had three children he sold his property at upper Freehold and moved to Amwell (where Abraham Runkle now lives) and purchased about seven hundred acres of land, built a house and barn, cleared and improved to a considerable extent, and bid fair to be very rich. But when about thirty-six years old he was taken with the pleurisy, and died with a few days illness, and left a widow and the above mentioned seven small children.
David Stout, the father of the said James, sold all his possessions in Middletown and moved to Amwell, some years before the death of his son James, and settled where Henry Young now lives, and purchased large tract of land - at which place he died a very old man, was buried on his own farm, which laid the foundation of a burying ground, where his descendants continue to bury to this day. After the death of the above said James Stout, his widow married his own cousin, Samuel Stout, the youngest son of Jonathan Stout, and had one son by him named Samuel, whose family I have before treated of.
