| 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. Note: 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. |

| 8 | Memories by Jennie Stoughton Osborn, Copyright 1935, Medicine Lodge, Kansas. Pg. 2 "My mother was living on her farm near Matildaville, Pennsylvania when she met my father, Barnard VanZant Stoughton, who was working at his trade, the shoe business, in Kalensburg, Armstrong, Co., Pa. When I was about a year old they moved out to my mother's farm and there my two younger sisters were born. They then gathered the rest of the children into the home where those mischievous boys kept things stirring." Pg. 3 "My mother, Susan Myer, had been the wife of John Hagan who died when they had been married twelve years, leaving her with one little boy, John Edward Hagan. Father had married Susan Harvey, but she died leaving six children: John, Joseph, Elliott, Hannah, Catharine, and Susan Blanche, the baby whom the mother gave to her sister, a Mrs. Dustin, who took her to Illinois... When we left mother's farm, we moved to Clarion County on a farm owned by one of mother's brothers and lived there one year; but father could not farm and do much at his trade too. So we moved into a little burg named Bellville. It was a crossroad town of a few houses, ...Sligo Furnace was (2 miles) south, Madison Furnace five miles west, Polk Furnace four miles north, and Curlville three miles East." |

Research Notes
- from J. Voltz:Page 12 of "Memories" (by Jennie S. Stoughton) says that Jennie's two older brothers and two older sisters were married, and that she visited their houses. John and Elliot were the brothers. Hannah, Catherine, and Susan Blanche were her older sisters, but Susan didn't get married until after the big move west. This means Hannah must have been married, probably to someone in Tionesta, Venango County since that was her last known residence. (Note: Tionesta changed to Forest County around that time). It doesn't seem like Jennie ever mentioned her again...From the way Jennie states things, Hannah's husband probably survived the war, but it isn't conclusive. Hannah didn't go west, so I presume that Forest County is the best place to look in the 1870 census for a Hannah born in 1842. She had to be close enough that Jennie could make winter visits. Brother John returned to Forest County before 1900. I wonder if he wanted to be close to his only family member in the area.
- 1880 Piney Twp., Clarion Co. Hannah M. Myers age 37, wife of John J. Myers age 63, & a hired girl Sarah Hermon.
- from J. Voltz: Piney, Clarion county is where Susan Myer and the Hagan family originated. Re. the 1880 census Piney Twp., Clarion Co., Hannah M. Myers age 37, wife of John J. Myers age 63, & a hired girl Sarah Hermon. - Where did John J. Myers come from? Could he be the brother of Susan Myer (b. 1814)? At 63 years old (b. 1817), he could be. Given the intermarrying of this family, anything is possible... we don't know the parents of Susan, do we? Could Sarah Hermon actually be Sarah Hagan?
- For the servant girl Sarah Hermon who was 19 in 1880: In 1870 census, ancestry's search engine found no Sarah Hermon listed in PA.
- John Myers was not still with parents in 1850. It does look like this could be John Myers' first family; the location seems good:
1850, Toby, Clarion: John Myers 36 Lavinia 28 Ealy J. 7 Daniel Myers 22
1860 Toby, Clarion PA, P.O. Rimersburg John Myers 49 Levina Myers 33 Emily J Myers 17 John W. Morgan 10
- from J. Voltz: John E. Hagan was living with the Valentine Myers family in 1860. Could it be his mother's brother's family? Valentine's Myer's father was most likely John Myers (b. 1779). See 1850 census below: There was a John Myers who was most likely Valentine's brother (b. 1816) and wasn't married at age 34! Susan Myers was already married to Barnard Stoughton at this point. (It is likely)that Hannah Stoughton married John Myers.
WE need: obituaries from Clarion Newspaper. John Myers in 1860 census.
I think he is by himself, but listed as a 40 year old when he was actually 44. Makes sense that a sister could set him up with a step daughter.
