Research Note

Jonathan Stout is sometimes linked by modern researchers to David and his second wife, Rachel Stout, daughter of Nehemiah and Rachel Stout. He is not the only Jonathan Stout to be suggested as the son named Jonathan, but his age and Kentucky origins make him a candidate to watch. Further reading on David and Rachel can be found in the Ege and Stout books cited below. These authors lived in Hunterdon: Stout at the same time as Jonathan and Rachel Stout with first hand information and Ege born 1837 worked on the history of Hopewell of which Jonathan, father David, is said to be the pioneer of Hopewell.^[5][6]

His family lines are: Paternal line of David and Rebecca Ashton, David m Anne Merrill, Nehemiah Stout m Rachel, Rachel m David, widow of Amy her sister. Maternal line of Jonathan m Anne Bollen, David Sr and Elizabeth Larrison, Jonathan m Rachel Burroughs, David m Rachel Stout, Jonathan m Margaret Hanna.^{[7][8] [9] [10][11]}

In the 1880 census the ages of the children vary by ten years from the ages in 1850. Those living with parents were: David, Synthia, Tishiah, (Kesiah). William and George W, a grandson.^[12]
