4	Jeanne Bortmes Eichelberger, correspondence, 2006, including 27-page manuscript, "Information on the Stoughton Line". Samuel Stoughton born 8-17-1795 in NJ, died 5-9-1862 in Butler Co. PA, married 1st to Isabelle ___; married 2nd in 1821 to Catherine McCune, who died 1-15-1865. Samuel was ordained as a Baptist minister on 11-28-1823 and was the minister of the Muddy Creek Baptist Church 1823-1862. He had a will on record in Will Book D, pg 152, dated 2-20-1862, filed 5-9-1862. Included are the names, dates, spouses, & some descendants, of 13 children: James, Morgan, Lucinda, Sarah, Nancy, Samuel K., Mary Jane, Emily, Julia, Lavina, Isabel, Elvira, & Lewis Cass.
5	Stoughton Family Genealogy and History research manuscript by Burke Stoughton, Apollo, PA, May-October 1996; G929.2 Butler Area Public Library, Butler, PA. Burke Stoughton, in his footnote 91, comments on the will of Rev. Samuel Stoughton: Rev. Samuel lists his children in his will of 1862 but does not name them all. He does mention his wife, Catherine. in the will. He names his brother Andrew as an executor and this Andrew signed the will as a witness. Also attached to Samuel's will was a listing of the division of his personal property and funds. Morgan S. Stoughton and his children were listed as heirs; Morgan is listed as "son of the decedent" Burke Stoughton believes that Samuel Stoughton was a son of John Walker Stoughton, from whom he traces the family back to the state of CT. We believe this to be in error; that John Stoughton of NJ and NY (rather than John Walker Stoughton of CT) was the father of our direct line Andrew Stoughton. Burke Stoughton also proposes that Rev. Samuel Stoughton (b. 1795) was a brother of Andrew Stoughton and a son of John (Walker) Stoughton; we believe this also to be in error, misplaced by one generation. Morgan Stoughton however my well have been a son of the Rev. Samuel Stoughton.

Source notes

• Eichelbergerhas Samuel Stoughton born in NJ; however, he says in the 1850 census that he was born in PA. His parents were in the Lewisburg area, Northumberland Co. PA by 1796.
• *The Stoughton organizers of Muddy Creek Baptist church may be Catherine Covert Stoughton, her sons Jacob and Andrew, and her brother in law Samuel Stoughton (who later became a Baptist minister). It is more likely however that the Catherine Stoughton mentioned is Catherine McCune, wife of Samuel Stoughton.
• Samuel was ordained as Baptist minister 28 Nov 1823; was minister of Muddy Creek Baptist Church 1823-1862.

Research Wishlist

• Samuel has a will, Will Book D, p. 152, dated 20 Feb 1862, filed 9 May 1862
• Separate children by their mothers; presumably James and Morgan came from the first marriage?
