| '''1840 United States Federal Census''', Centre Twp., Butler Co. PA, (Ancestry.com pg. 11). Household of Andrew Stoughton: 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 40-50, 1 female under 5, 1 female 5-10, 2 females 10-15, 1 female 30-40. These seem to correspond to Jacob, John, Matthew, father Andrew Stoughton, Catherine, Hannah, Rachel, an unknown daughter, & mother Mary Glenn. The unknown daughter may have died before 1850, or may cast doubt on the match. However, household of William Stoughton, brother of Andrew, seems to be next door.

* The relationship of Margaret Hockenberry, wife of Jacob B. Stoughton, to our direct line Hockenberry ancestry is at present unknown.
+
* The relationship of [[Margaret L. Hockenberry]], wife of [[Jacob Bernard Stoughton]], to our direct line Hockenberry ancestry is presently not well documented.  Her father, [[Jonathan Hockenberry]], is thought to be the son of direct line ancestor [[John Hockenberry]].  If this is the case, then [[Elizabeth Ann Stoughton]]'s uncle [[Jacob Bernard Stoughton]] married her great-great-grandfather [[John Hockenberry]]'s granddaughter, [[Margaret L. Hockenberry]].  It is a sizable loop in the family tree, but one that is closed only through an in-law relationship. 
 +
* Margaret Hockenberry (Stoughton) was apparently a widow in 1907; her son Elliot was living with her on the farm, per the notice of his death in the Butler Citizen issue of 2 May 1907. This suggests that Elliot was unmarried.
 +
* Harry F. Stoughton apparently single at age 41 (1918), living with mother Margaret (Stoughon) per WWI Draft Registration.

[edit] NOT A DIRECT ANCESTOR

Jacob B. Stoughton is not in my direct ancestry. He is 1 step removed in the following ways:

It is possible that Jacob B. Stoughton's middle name was originally Barnard, as his father Andrew Stoughton had a brother named Barnard VanZant Stoughton.

1 1840 United States Federal Census, Centre Twp., Butler Co. PA, (Ancestry.com pg. 11). Household of Andrew Stoughton: 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 40-50, 1 female under 5, 1 female 5-10, 2 females 10-15, 1 female 30-40. These seem to correspond to Jacob, John, Matthew, father Andrew Stoughton, Catherine, Hannah, Rachel, an unknown daughter, & mother Mary Glenn. The unknown daughter may have died before 1850, or may cast doubt on the match. However, household of William Stoughton, brother of Andrew, seems to be next door.

[edit] Source notes

  • The relationship of Margaret L. Hockenberry, wife of Jacob Bernard Stoughton, to our direct line Hockenberry ancestry is presently not well documented. Her father, Jonathan Hockenberry, is thought to be the son of direct line ancestor John Hockenberry. If this is the case, then Elizabeth Ann Stoughton's uncle Jacob Bernard Stoughton married her great-great-grandfather John Hockenberry's granddaughter, Margaret L. Hockenberry. It is a sizable loop in the family tree, but one that is closed only through an in-law relationship.
  • Margaret Hockenberry (Stoughton) was apparently a widow in 1907; her son Elliot was living with her on the farm, per the notice of his death in the Butler Citizen issue of 2 May 1907. This suggests that Elliot was unmarried.
  • Harry F. Stoughton apparently single at age 41 (1918), living with mother Margaret (Stoughon) per WWI Draft Registration.
