Biography

Jacob Stout, son of Samuel Sr and Rachel Chauncey Stout, was born on 27 July 1782 at Snow Camp, North Carolina and was recorded at the Cane Creek Friends Meeting (Quaker).^[1][2] The Snow Camp^[3] area (unincorporated) became part of Alamance County in 1849 when Orange County was divided.^[4] Jacob was listed in the 1850 Census as born about 1779 in North Carolina, and in the 1860 Census as born about 1783 in North Carolina.

Jacob and Sarah were married about 1801, as Jacob was disowned by the Cane Creek Quakers on 7 Nov 1801 for marrying outside the union of the Quaker meeting (congregation ).^[5] It appears that Jacob must have been readmitted to the Quakers as he was recorded on 29 Dec 1804 at the Lost Creek Meeting in Tennessee of again being disowned, this time for fighting and being "married contrary to discipline".^[6] This 1804 record describes him as being "of Grassy Valley" (Knox County?).

Jacob and his brother Ephraim are believed to have migrated to southeast Missouri about 1805, but sources are needed.

In 1819 Jacob sold land to John Smith that contained the first iron furnace west of the Mississippi River, known as Ashebran's Furnace (established 1815), on Stout's Creek about 2 miles south of Ironton. He may have relocated to East Fork of Black River at this time (source needed).^[7]

Jacob's nephew, Allen Joseph Stout, records in his journal that he and his father Joseph stayed briefly with his uncle Jacob in Washington County before moving on for Illinois on 4 May 1837 while conducting Mormon missionary work.^[8]

On 14 Nov 1837 "Jacob Stout of Ripley County, Missouri" (now in Reynolds Co.) obtained a patent for land located at Township 33 North, Range 2 East, NE 1/4 of NE 1/4 of Section 33, 40 acres.^[7][9]

Jacob married on 5 August 1839 in Ripley County (now Reynolds County) to "Sinthy Fortinberry" [Cynthia (Brawley) Fortenberry, widow of James Fortenberry/Faulkenberry].^[7][10][11]

In 1839, Jacob's brother Joseph came to stay with him in Caledonia, Washington Co., Missouri, and died in September of that year.^[8][12]

In 1840, he was visited by his nephew Allen Joseph Stout who was doing Mormon missionary work in southeast Missouri.^[8][12]

In 1850, Jacob and Cynthia were recorded as members of the Black River Baptist Church.^{[7] [13]}

In 1860, Joseph was recorded in the census as residing in the home of his son in Ironton, Iron Co., Missouri.^[14][15]

Jacob is believed to have died in in 1867^[16] in or near Ironton, Iron County, Missouri.

Research Notes

• The marriage to Mary Bolling was unsupported by the attached sources. A different Jacob Stout married Sarah. The two Jacob Stouts have been set as Rejected Matches. Family Search lists an alternate birth date as 18 May 1782 at Snow Camp, Orange Co., North Carolina
• Jacob's second wife Cynthia Brawley may be Cynthia Brawley, but not yet able to establish this, pending further research.
