-* '''Sale of land from John Stoughton Estate''' (source 17):  The will of John Stoughton (d. 1833) specified that the land in his estate (100 acres) be maintained by for the support of his wife Catherine (Covert) until her death.  Court documents from 1849 and 1850 indicate that a portion (20 acres) was sold to cover debts from the estate of Jacob Stoughton (son of John) who was the original administrator of the estate but died in 1841.  The estate was now being handled by John Stoughton, presumably Jacob's younger brother.  Documents from 1857 - 58 indicate that the rest of the land was sold and the remainder of the estate settled.  This would suggest that Catherine had died around 1857.  The estate was now being handled by James S. Stoughton, the younger John having died in 1852.
+* '''Sale of land from John Stoughton Estate''' (source 17):  Catherine's husband John Stoughton (who died in 1833) left his land in the care of their son Jacob Stoughton (who died in 1841). When John Stoughton owned the land, it was part of Muddy Creek Township, and was located in First Donation District, Number 149.  The land was to be kept for the care of Catherine Stoughton and not sold. <br>

-*Andrew Jackson Stoughton, known as A.J., living next to his father William in 1860.
-* It appears from the will abstract that John and Barnard are two separate brothers; this may be the result of a misplaced comma; original will needs to be viewed.
