Biography

This profile is part of the Stout Name Study.

James Stout II, son of James I and Catherine (Simpson) Stout, was born in Amwell, Hunterdon County, New Jersey in 1715. ^[1] It has long been accepted that he married Jemima Reeder there about 1740; ^{[2] [3]} however, documentation of that marriage is suspect, and it is arguable that it was, instead, Jemima Titus.

In 1753 a parsonage for the Presbyterian Church of First Amwell in Hunterdon (Mercer) County was purchased, and James Stout’s name was on the subscription list. ^{[4] [5]}

He was only about 33 years-old when he died in Amwell on some date after 08 Aug 1754 (the date of his will). ^[6]

James and Jemima were the parents of:

1. Abel m Williampe Wyckoff and emigrated to Virginia
2. Caleb m Elizabeth Labaw emigrated to Harrison County, Virginia (WV) ^[7]
3. James III m (1) Penine Osborn (2) Esther Higgins
4. Amy m Abraham Clayton
5. Mary m David Labaw
6. Elinor m Elijah Larrison ^{[8] [9]}
