Source notes
- The will of John Stoughton, 1833, implies that John Stoughton and Bernard Stoughton are two separate sons. Research of Jeanne Eichelberger indicates one son, John Bernard Stoughton.
- John Stoughton names as executors in his will of 1833 his son Jacob Stoughton and William Stoughton. William's name is followed by what appears to be either Junior, or Senior (written out, not abbreviated). John's father William was already dead in 1833. John's son William G. Stoughton, although he has no son named William, could be addressed as William Sr. because his brother, John Bernard Stoughton, has a son William. However, it seems logical that in writing the will, the wording in that case would have been "my sons Jacob Stoughton and William Stoughton. If the suffix is "Junior", the grandson William(son of John Bernard b. ca. 1805) would have been at most ~5 years of age in 1833. No other William Stoughton candidates are known at present. It is possible that the word following William Stoughton in the will is neither junior or senior but something other.
