 But when son Jacob Stoughton died (1841), there was so much debt that in 1849Jacob’s brother John Stoughton (who died in 1852) had to sell 20 acres of land to help pay off the debt.
 Also, note that this land was located in what was known as Worth Township in 1858 - the 100 acres was bounded by land of George Book, James Moore, Margaret Stoughton (Luke's wife), Thomas Cooper and John Stoughton  This really helps us pinpoint where John Stoughton's land was located.

 * Parents of John Stoughton ([[John Stoughton]] & [[Catherine Covert]]) apparently arrived in Butler Co. PA by  1803. They were in Middlesex Twp. by 1803 and Center Twp. by 1810. We presume from the dates that John was born (in 1805) in one of these two townships.
 * Our initial listing of children included sons Thomas, and Jefferson. For now,per the research of Jim Voltz, these have been combined, on the following logic. The 1850 census has no mention of a son "Jefferson", and was only 2 years previous to John's death.  The will of John Stoughton was not been seen by us, and may be abstracted incorrectly above (i.e. Thomas Jefferson may be one name). A complete will copy is on order (Aug 15 2008).  Voltz cites the above military record for Thomas J. Stoughton, and notes that the only other Thomas Stoughton born about 1840 seems to be Thomas S. Stoughton, son of William and Mary (Wick) Stoughton.
-* '''Sale of land from John Stoughton Estate''' (source 17):  The will of John Stoughton (d. 1833) (the father of John Stoughton of this page) 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''' (b. 1805)), 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>

 |'''A. Fix correspondence''' 2010 -ongoing; see [[Contributors]].<br>Martha Jane Stoughton (06/14/1841 to 06/03/1864) married James Minteer of Worth Township.  They had an infant boy (who died and is buried with Martha) and a daughter, Clara Ann Minteer who inherited part of her grandfather (John Stoughton's) property. The daughter inherited 1/6, which was to be Martha's share, but Martha died before the property was sold and the profit divided.  Martha Jane Stoughton Minteer and the infant son are buried in Harlansburg cemetery, just a couple of plots from her parents.
