===Source Notes===
*The William B. Stoughton found in the 1930 census for Jacksonville, FL, might be considered an unlikely match given that he is in a new location and found by himself, however I consider this match to be strong based on the fact that his occupation of "maker of instruments" matches well with the reasonably unusual occupation on the death certificate of "retired violin manufacturer."
