Life of Samuel Stout, Jr, son of Samuel Stout Sr & Rachel Chancey

14 Apr 1771 Orange Co NC Birth of Samuel Stout Jr Source: Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol I p 365

1790 - Based on records I assume that Samuel Stout moved from NC to Territory South of the Ohio River/Tennessee Territory/East TN with his parents. abt 1790, before TN became a state 1 Jun 1796

Quakers in East TN

1784- New Hope MM (then known as Nolichucky) Greene Co TN. Settlement by firends had begun as early as 1794 and was established 28 Feb 1795.

1787- Lost Creek Friends Meeting established in what was called Quaker Valley (now known as Rocky Valley in Jefferson Co) M by 1787 they had Voluntary meetings as they had yet been recognized by North Carolina Yearly Meeting until 1793, some say May 10 1797 they were fully established. May 25 1796 John Mills deeded property for the Meeting House.

Journal of Hosea Stout "My grandfahter,[Samuel Stout Sr] who was a quaker, resided in North Carolina, Oxford County, where also my father [Joseph] was born [June 25, 1773] and raised untill he was about sixteen or seventeen years of age. About that time my grandfather, after loosing nearly all his property by law-suits, and family removed to East Tennessee, where they lived untill my father was about twenty-five years of age." Joseph Stout b 1773 + 25 yrs = 1798

Author, Reed A Stout's footnote: Hosea Stout's paternal grandfther was Samuel Stout, born April 10, 1740, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a son of Peter Stout, a Quaker who moved with his family in 1762 to a Quaker settlement on Cane Creek in Orange County, North Carolins. On Oct 10, 1762, Samuel Stout married Rachel Chancy (or Chauncey) and about 1786 moved to Tennessee, but returned to North Carolina in 1792. Samuel Stout's son, Joseph was father of Hosea. Source: Autobiography of Hosea Stout (1810 to 1835) edited by Reed A Stout p 58 ( Journal of Hosea Stout)

NOTE: Conflicts of information here. Did Samuel & Rachel return to NC in 1792 and back to TN or did he go to NC in 1798 or both?^[1]

His father appears as Samuel Stout Sr in this record

2 Nov 1797 Knox County, Tennessee Jury Duty: Daniel Hastigs served on a jury in these cases William Davidson vs james Carey and John McAllie vs Archibald Campbell and Robert Boyd vs Archibald Campbell and William Tyrrell vs Augustus Willson & Samuel Stout, Sr. Martin Pruitt was also on this jury. This Martin Pruitt was probably the father of the Isaac Pruitt (David Haston's Know County neighbor and friend and perhaps also White County, TN "Isaac Prewitt" associate of Haston's) and father in law of a Roddy, daughter of Phillip * Mary McComsky Roddy.

[he is not accurate about the dates here per the above sources. I did find one Samuel Stout in 1840 DuPage Co IL age 70-79 with many others in the home so possibly living with a child if the book is correct but we may never know for certain. Following the children may lead to an answer?. TimeLine added by: Angela (Jones) Harlan
