1	1840 United States Federal Census, Muddy Creek Twp, Butler Co, PA, page 23. Census is not dated. Family headed by Barnard Stoeton(sic): 2 males <5, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 20-30, 1 female 20-30. The male and female in their 20's are the proper ages for Barnard Stoughton and his wife Susan. The two youngest males are likely to be their children, but the 10-15 year old seems too old to be a child of someone in their 20's. Family headed by Margaret Stoeton is two entries earlier; William Wimer is next entry.
2	1850 United States Federal Census, Piney Twp, Clarion Co, PA, page 24. Previous page dated 30 Sept. 1850. Lines 16-25: B.W. Stoughton, 33, shoemake; Susannah, 33; John, 14; Joseph, 12; Elliott, 10; Hannah, 8; Catharine, 6; Susannah, 4; Jane, 2; Elizabeth, 1/2. John, Joseph, Elliott and Hannah attended school. The ages of the children align well with other census data, as does the age for Barnard Stoughton.
3	1860 United States Federal Census, Tionesta Twp, Venango Co, PA, page 13. Census dated 15 Aug 1860. Lines 6-14:D.V. Stoten, 42, farmer, $500 real, $150 personal property; Susan, 46; Joseph, 21, farmer; C.H., 18, farmer; Hannah, 18, house keeping; Catherine, 16, house keeping; June, 12; Elizabeth, 10; Ida, 7. All b. PA. This family is a good match for that of Barnard V. Stoughton in names and ages. The discrepancy in the name of Barnard is possibly an notation error by the census taker. Note that Elliott, age approx. 20, no longer living with parents
5	1880 United States Federal Census, Barnett Twp., Forest Co. PA, pg. 7/ancestry.com pg. 4. Census date June 1880, day date not legible. Lines 27-43: Stoughton, E. H. white male age 59, married, manager saw mill; Melissa J., wife, age 30, white female, married Lewella, daughter, age 8, in school William, age 6, son, in school Sarah, age 4, daughter Kellerman, Clemant, white male age 25, single,work on sawmill Verner, William C., white male age 21, single, work on sawmill.
15	Obituary of Susan Myer, wife of B. V. Stoughton, The Medicine Lodge Cresset, 5 Jan. 1888, pg. 3, col. 2. "Died: Mrs. Susan Stoughton, the wife of B.V. Stoughton who passed away last March, died at the residence of her son-in-law, Geo. W. Osborne, on Tuesday, January 3rd, 1888, aged 77 years and 3 months.

Source notes

• The obituary of Susan Myer (Stoughton) in the Medicine Lodge Cresset lists 4 children, (possibly those surviving her, or possibly those living in the Barber Co., KS area). Thus Elliott H. Stoughton may have died before 1888, predeceasing his mother.
