Source notes

• Andrew Jackson Stoughton, known as A.J., was enumerated living next to his father William in 1860.

Research

• We initially had this page titled "William G. Stoughton". The initial "G" now appears to have been in error; there is a different William G. Stoughton in Butler County. From Jeanne Eichelberger, April 2008: William G. Stoughton born 9-1827 wife Mary born 12-1829 are in 1870,1880 and 1900 census., with children: John 1851, Alfred 1853, Emma 1858, Lew 1864, Bell 1866 and William 1868. Further: Son John C. never married, lived with brother Alfred K. Stoughton who married Kathleen unknown & had a son George, age 19 in the 1900 census.
• See 1850 Deed, in which Wm (A./C./G.) Stoughton and John Wicks transfer land to 3 heirs of Luke Stoughton, the heirs being Wm. (A./G.) Stoughton, Mary Ann (Mcphersand?), and Luke C. Stoughton. See transcript 1850 deed
• Image of 1850 deed of Wm (A./G.) Stoughton (Click to enlarge).
• From researcher Burke Stoughton on Apr. 2008: Burke interviewed Lewis Stoughton, whom he finds a reliable family source. Lewis's father, Harold Stoughton, told Lewis that William Stoughton's full name was William Andrew Stoughton.
• A question remains, as there exists a (poorly legible) copy of a land transaction wherein William G.(or C.) Stoughton transfers land to son John, and the text mentions a Luke Stoughton. If the relationship of Luke is stated, it is not legible on our copy. The names John and Luke match names of children of William Stoughton, this page.
