Source Notes

• To find census evidence of Mary Glenn before marriage will require knowing her fathers name.
• At this time we have no primary evidence that Mary Glenn married Andrew Stoughton.

• There is an 1870 census record for Franklin Twp., Butler Co., PA, Page 18, Lines 10-12, which shows Mary Stoughton, 69, living with Elisha Stoughton, 30, and John Stoughton, 24. This is not the right Mary Stoughton. There is an 1860 census for Concord Twp., Butler Co., PA, pg. 113, lines 27-32, which shows Elisha and John as being sons of Mary Stoughton and William Stoughton.

Research Notes

• Research re. burial site of John & Catherine Stoughton, with negative results: No gravestones found at various Butler County cemeteries visited in 2006-2007 by E. Wilson Williams (Mt. Zion Baptist Cemetery, Wolf Creek Cemetery, Muddy Creek Cemetery, Prospect's Emanuel Lutheran Cemetery, Prospect Presbyterian Cemetery or West Liberty Cemetery). No record found in the entire 5 volume set of the Cemetery Inventory of Butler County, searched by research staff of the Butler Area Public Library, Oct. 2007.
  This suggests burial without gravestones, or that their stones deteriorated beyond legibility by the time of the Inventory; or burial at a small private cemetery not included in the Inventory.
• 1870 United States Federal Census, Worth Twp., Butler Co., PA, pg 16, Lines 25-28 shows Mary Glenn, 68, living with the family of Benjamin Thompson, 23, and Emma Thompson, 23. Mary Glenn was born in PA. They live next door to the family of Samuel Wimer, Jr. and Elizabeth Hogue. Census date: 25 Jun 1870.
  * The This census record is inconclusive; the age and location are about right for Mary Glenn, but she is living with persons of unknown relationship if any, and it is odd that she would go by her maiden name in this census.
