Burke Stoughton, in his footnote 91, comments on the will of Rev. Samuel Stoughton:
Rev. Samuel lists his children in his will of 1862 but does not name them all. He does mention his wife, Catherine. in the will. He names his brother Andrew as an executor and this Andrew signed the will as a witness. Also attached to Samuel's will was a listing of the division of his personal property and funds. Morgan S. Stoughton and his children were listed as heirs; Morgan is listed as "son of the decedent"


Burke Stoughton believes that Samuel Stoughton was a son of John Walker Stoughton, from whom he traces the family back to the state of CT. We believe this to be in error; that John Stoughton of NJ and NY (rather than John Walker Stoughton of CT) was the father of our direct line Andrew Stoughton. Burke Stoughton also proposes that Rev. Samuel Stoughton (b. 1795) was a brother of Andrew Stoughton and a son of John (Walker) Stoughton; we believe this also to be in error, misplaced by one generation. Morgan Stoughton however my well have been a son of the Rev. Samuel Stoughton.
