5 Stoughton Family Genealogy and History research manuscript by Burke Stoughton, Apollo, PA, May-October 1996; G929.2 Butler Area Public Library, Butler, PA.
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.

6 History of the Stoughton Family, written out by Eva Coulter Conlan from information given her by Nancy Stoughton Patterson at her home in Lawrence Co., PA, date unknown. Manuscript not published; now owned by Holly K. Anderson.
See RootsWeb's World Connect Project: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hollykat&id=I474
William Stoughton was born~1742/43 presumably in New York State; from there he enlisted the War of the Revolution, serving with Washington in the battle of Monmouth. After the war he moved to New Jersey where he married a Miss Voorhees from Albany New York, of Holland Dutch descent.
Their children were William, John, Andrew, James, Effie, Delilah, Sarah, Ann, and Samuel the youngest, who was born 27 Aug 1795. William Stoughton moved to Lewisburg, PA, then in 1802 to Butler Co. PA. He was a shoemaker by trade.

Samuel Stoughton was a Baptist Minister, licensed on Nov 30, 1822; ordained 28 Nov 1823; preached until his death in 1862 for the same church, possibly Muddy Creek Baptist Church. He married 1st in 1816, to Isabel unknown. Their two sons were:
James Stoughton, b. 13 Jan 1817 - d.1875
Morgan Stoughton b. 13 Apr 1819 - d.1858.

Samuel Stoughton married 2nd Catherine McCune in 1821. Catherine McCune (Stoughton) died 15 Jan 1865. Their children were:
Lucinda Stoughton (June 19, 1822 -June 13, 1858)
Sarah Stoughton ( Nov 22, 1824 - Sept 1, 1849)
Nancy Stoughton (Feb 12, 1827 - ??)
Samuel K. Stoughton (July 29, 1830 - Sept 16, 1849)
Mary Jane Stoughton (Dec 29, 1832 - May 15, 1905)
Emily Stoughton (June 30, 1836 -~ 1908)
Julia Stoughton (Sept 21, 1838 - ??)
Lavina Stoughton (Sept 16, 1840 - March 22,1802)
Isabel Stoughton (Aug 31, 1842 - Sept 21, 1893)
Elvina Stoughton (July 28, 1844 - Dec 25, 1906)
Lewis Cass Stoughton (June 27, 1846 - Sept 1, 1849).


Catherine McCune (Stoughton)'s mother Lucinda "Lucy" Moore was born about 1762 in Virginia or Maryland. She was ten years old the time of "The Boston Tea Party". Lucinda Moore married a Mr. McCune. Her children were:
Samuel McCune
Jane McCune
William McCune
John McCune
Mary McCune
Robert McCune Claypool (twin)
Catherine McCune Claypool (twin)
The twins were born August 18, 1802 just after their fathers death. Lucinda Moore (McCune) married 2nd a Mr. Claypool, so the twins were generally called Claypool.

Lists 3 spouses of John Patterson, including 2 Stoughtons:

1st wife Hannah M. Stoughton b. 26 Oct 1815, m. 1834 to John Patterson, 7 children listed including daughter Catherine J. Patterson (this line traced further). Hannah M. Stoughton is listed as daughter of John Walker Stoughton and Catherine Covert, (We believe this to be an incorrect pairing. Please see John Stoughton, sources #12, 14, 15.) John M. Patterson & Hannah Stoughton (Patterson) buried Zion Baptist Cemetery. No sources offered by L. Phillips for this couple's data; we assume a collation of other undocumented web sources.

2nd wife Mary Cooper (11 Apr 1828 - 3 Sep 1865) in Butler, PA;wed 1855. 4 children listed. Mary Cooper's parents not listed. No sources listed.

3rd wife Nancy Stoughton (12 Feb 1827,PA - 27 Jan 1914, Butler PA); wed 9 Dec 1865. Her parents Samuel Stoughton & Catherine McCune. No children listed. Source for Nancy Stoughton given as Holly K. Anderson's Rootsweb site, see above source #6.

Abstract: Jane Stoughton, wife of Thomas Boyle, was a daughter of John Stoughton and Catherine Covert. John Stoughton, of English descent, was a farmer and owned 350 acres of land in three farms. His brother Samuel Stoughton was a Baptist minister, and the entire family was strict in its religious observances.

Source notes

  • [2]*The Stoughton organizers of Muddy Creek Baptist church may be Catherine Covert Stoughton, her sons Jacob and Andrew, and her brother in law Samuel Stoughton (who later became a Baptist minister). It is more likely however that the Catherine Stoughton mentioned is Catherine McCune, wife of Samuel Stoughton.
  • [3]Samuel was ordained as Baptist minister 28 Nov 1823; was minister of Muddy Creek Baptist Church 1823-1862.

Conjecture

Research Wishlist

  • Samuel has a will, Will Book D, p. 152, dated 20 Feb 1862, filed 9 May 1862
  • Separate children by mother; presumably James and Morgan came from the first marriage?
