LINE OF RICHARD STOUT
3 RICHARD STOUT, son of Richard Stout, I, was born, by deduction, at Gravesend, Long Island, about 1646, or a little later. He doubtless accompanied his father in the migration to Middletown, in 1665, for his father bases an application for lands on this fact, yet, in Decem- ber, 1667, upon the first division of lands, in Middletown, he, personally, was ignored, which was probably from the fact that he was still a youth and living at home with his parents.
Richard Stout, 3, had two wives, an early one by the name of Frances, and a later one by the name of Mary. I cannot say, with certainty, what their surnames were, but one was, I think, a Seymour and the mother of Frances was Frances ..... who married, for her first husband, a man with name yet unknown. As the wife of this unknown man, she had this daughter, Frances [Stout], and as the widow of this unknown man, she became the second wife of Robert West, whose first wife, Elizabeth, joined him [Robert West] in a deed, Oct. 18, 1663, in Rhode Island. Upon Robert West's death, she, Frances, married, third, Edmond Lafetra*, and was probably his sole wife. This Frances had issue by all three of her husbands; by the first, a daughter, called Frances who became the wife of Richard Stout, certainly prior to
*The will of Edmund Lafetra has been variously interpreted. The following, I believe, is its correct explanation, viz .: Robert West, Sr., of Rhode Island, and afterwards of Shrewsbury, married twice; first, Elizabeth . .... , by whom he had Issue
Robert West, Jr., who took the Oath of Allegiance with his father, in 1667-8.
Joseph West; married, May 12, 1692, Mary Webley.
Elizabeth West; erroneously assumed by many to have been a daughter of Edmund Lafetra, and the wife of John West.
Ann West, who married Henry Chamberlain. Mary West, who married Nathaniel Cammock.
Robert West married, second, Frances ..... , a widow, whose maiden and widowed names are alike unknown; she was the mother by her first husband (unknown) of a daughter Frances, who became the wife of Richard, the son of Richard and Penelope Stout, and is referred to in the will of Edmund Lafetra, as Frances Stoutt. And by this marriage to Frances .. . .. Robert West had

John West, an only child, so far as we know, by this marriage.
Afterwards this same Frances, upon the death of her husband, Robert West, took for her third husband, Edmund Lafetra, by whom she had
Issue Edmund Lafetra Sarah Lafetra.
Under the generous roof of the kind-hearted Quaker, Edmund Lafetra, were reared these four separate sets of children, and in his will the noble man called each one of them "son" or "daughter" or "child."

HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
1679-80, and probably prior to 1676, which, if we do not allow, would necessitate Richard Stout having an earlier wife with name unknown, which I hardly think is likely.
In a letter, in my possession, written by William Leeds, about 1736, to ..... Cox, concern- ing a title to land in dispute between them, he says:
"Richd. Stout married a girl in Shrewsbury and settled there and his father lived in Middletown and passing and repassing from one to the other he took a liking to some land at Swiming River. The Gen'l Surveyor then being a measuring land thereabouts to the people Stout got him to measure him a piece the 1 June 1676, in order to settle it, but Stout's wife would not go so far unless he would get a neighbor to go with her." He then asked Thomas Wright, of Shrewsbury, with his wife, to settle on the tract he had just obtained and he would sell him part.
"In the Fall the patent was sent to Stout from Elizabethtown. Then they went to Leonard to read it to them for neither of them could read," etc., etc.
That Richard Stout secured this land is certain, as "Richard Stout, Jr., was on the bound- ary of Grover's Inheritance, in 1676," which lay on Swimming River, and he also made good his offer to Wright, in a deed dated June 22, 1676, which he signed alone, not being joined by his wife.
New Jersey Archives, Vol. XXI, p. 232.
Wright repudiated the deed when he ascertained that he had to pay quit-rent on the lands, and the claims of his supposed descendants, the Walls and the Coxes, rested upon the question of his rights, in their contention with William Leeds.
At all events, whether Wright settled on the land as his neighbor, or not, Stout, himself, did, and took with him to this home, in 1676, a wife. She was probably Frances, as Feb. 7, 1679-80, Richard Stout, Jr., and wife, Frances, jointly signed a conveyance to William Leeds, of Shrewsbury.
Richard Stout acquired considerable land in Monmouth County. Among the Warrants, Surveys and Conveyances, from the Proprietors, appear:
1675 to 1686, he paid quit-rents on one hundred and twenty acres of land.
1675, Nov. 2. He had one hundred and twenty acres at Shrewsbury.
1676, June 23. He had one hundred and eighty-four acres granted to him.
1676, June 28. He had one hundred and eighty-four acres granted to him, later conveyed to William Leeds.
In 1676, Richard Stout, Jr., was still of Middletown, when he divided with Thomas Wright land surveyed about the first of June, 1676.
1686. He paid quit-rent on Middletown lands.
1687, June 20. He had one hundred and twenty acres granted him, adjacent to Richard Stout, the elder.
1689, June 24. Samuel Leonard, of Colt's Neck, bought lands from the Indian Sachems, of Manasquan, lying at Manasquan, beginning at Squancum, for various goods, rum, etc., which he assigned to Richard Stout, Jr., Dec. 19, 1689.
Richard Stout, 3, and his descendants, settled at Shrewsbury, and bought lands at Long Branch, Deal, Manasquan and Barnegat, all places to the South along the shore.
He had little opportunity to acquire education, and there was little need for it, so, that like many others among the early settlers, he made his mark, as did his wife, Mary.
On the other hand, John Stout, 2, the brother of Richard Stout, 3, resided at Middletown, where he and his descendants owned land and bought to the Northward, towards the Bay Shore. John Stout's son, Richard Stout, also married a wife, Mary, and was contemporary with
319
LINE OF RICHARD STOUT
Richard Stout, 3, and Mary, his wife, but they may easily be separated, for Richard Stout, 3, with wife, Mary, were identified with Shrewsbury and made their marks to documents, while Richard Stout, son of John Stout, 2, with wife, Mary, were identified with Middletown, and both signed their names to documents.
The following items shed light upon Richard Stout's later years and upon his children:
1687, Dec. 3. Richard Stout, Jr., received land from Samuel Leonard, which he conveyed, I, 10, 1691, (calling himself planter, of Manasquan, at which time be signed by his mark), to Ananias Gifford. This transfer may have been the result of a suit brought by Richard Stout, Jr., of Middletown, Nov. 21, 1687, against Samuel Leonard, of Colt's Neck.
1704. Richard Stout and Mary Stout witnesses to a marriage.
1705, Dec. 20. Richard Stout, Sr., of Shrewsbury, yeoman, and Robert Stout, own son of the said Richard Stout, also of Shrewsbury, singleman, conveyed, for £30, to Joseph Hulett, singleman, of Shrewsbury, fifty-five acres of land, in Shrewsbury, which Richard Stout, Sr., purchased from Hananiah Gifford, Mch. 10, 1691, and conveyed to his son, Robert Stout, Apr. 7, 1703. Richard Stout and Robert Stout both signed the deed by their marks.
1709, Sept. 26. Richard Stout, Sr., yeoman, of Shrewsbury, and Mary, his wife, conveyed to Ebenezer Cook, yeoman, of Shrewsbury, for £175, land, at Long Branch, and six acres of meadow, at Portapeck, being in all two hundred and thirty-five acres, reserving a piece of ground three rods square, where the said Richard Stout's former wife lies buried, which land was conveyed to Richard Stout, Sr., by Ananias Gifford Mch. 4, 1691. Signed by Richard Stout and Mary Stout by their marks. Recorded 1736.
1709, Nov. II. Richard Stout, Sr., yeoman, of Shrewsbury, conveyed to his loving son, Joseph Stout, of Shrewsbury, carpenter, for the love and fatherly care "I have for his Advantage & Preferment in this World," land and meadow, lying at Manasquan River, being one-half of the tract of land conveyed to Richard Stout by Ebenezer Cook, Sept. 26, 1709, bounded by David Stout's line, etc. Signed by Richard Stout and Mary Stout by their marks. Witnesses: John Gifford, Joseph Gifford and Samuel Dennis, Jr. Recorded 1734.
1713, Apr. 28. Richard Stout, yeoman, of Shrewsbury, and Mary, his wife, exchanged with William Jefferys, yeoman, of Shrewsbury, his land, known as Deal, containing one hundred and twenty acres, bounded by lands of Francis Jeffery, Whale Pond Brook, Thomas Potter's land, etc., excepting a burying place "where Benjamin Rogers, deceased, lyes buried," which land was conveyed to Richard Stout by Benjamin Rogers May 1, 1712, for land belonging to William Jeffery, which he had derived from Francis Jeffery Feb. 21, 1712. Signed by Richard Stout by his mark. Witnesses: Jonathan Allen, Joseph Wardell, Jacob Dennis, Thomas Bently. Recorded 1731-2.
1714, June 19. Richard Stout, of Shrewsbury, yeoman, and Mary, his wife, for £300, sold to William Jeffery, yeoman, of Shrewsbury, property at Deal, which was conveyed to said Stout, Apr. 28, 1713, by the said Jeffery. William Jeffery was the son of Francis Jeffery, of Shrewsbury, who also had another son by name, Francis Jeffery. Richard Stout signed by his mark. Mary, his wife, did not sign. Registered 1731-2.
1717, May 8. Richard Stout, yeoman, of Shrewsbury, conveyed to Gabriel Stelle, and Elizabeth, his wife, land, at Deal, which said Stout had from Jeffries, in 1713, for land, on the South side of Manasquan River, which had been deeded to Stelle, in 1717.

(This was the Captain Richard Lippincott engaged in the Huddy affair. He settled in Canada, and from his daughter, Esther Borden Lippincott, who married George Taylor Dennison, is descended a Dennison who had the old Family Bible.)
There was, presumably, another Frances Stout, who was perhaps a daughter of one of Richard and Frances Stout's sons, and hence their grand-daughter. This assumption, for such it is, rests upon the fact that there was a Frances . . . ., who became the wife of Job Throck- morton, of Shrewsbury, which given name, Frances, was apparently confined to the Stouts of Shrewsbury. This Job Throckmorton was the son of Job and Sarah (Leonard) Throckmorton, and also was a resident of Shrewsbury. Job Throckmorton and Sarah Leonard were married in 1685, and Job, their son, was born, by deduction, about 1690-95, and married, by deduction, Frances ..... , about 1712. If this reasoning be correct, Frances would have been born too late to have been the daughter of Richard and Frances Stout, of Shrewsbury, but would have been the issue of one of their children.
4 RICHARD STOUT, son of Richard Stout, 3, resided at Barnegat, N. J. He married Eve . . .
1718, Oct. II. Richard Stout, (in the body of the deed he is called Richard Stout, Jr.), yeoman, of Shrewsbury, and Eve, his wife, as heir to his loving brother, David Stout, late of Shrewsbury, who died intestate, conveyed eighty acres of land, on Shark River, bounded by John West, and ten acres of meadow, on the beach at Barnegate, bounded by Ananias Gifford's land, Stephen West, etc., to William Woolley, son of William Woolley, of Shrewsbury, yeoman, for the sum of £20, and the land bought by William Woolley, May 24, 1718, from William

1724, May 26. Richard Stout sold land to John Woolley, Jr.
That this individual, Richard Stout, Jr., was the son of Richard Stout, 3, and of the third generation is clear when it is recalled that the first Richard Stout died in 1705, and that the second Richard Stout's brother, David, was living, and moved to Amwell in 1725. He could not have been a son of Jonathan Stout, for Jonathan, in his will of 1722, speaks of his son, David, as yet alive, so that, by exclusion, he must have been a son of Richard, John, James or Peter Stout, of the second generation, and though I have no knowledge that James Stout had no son, David, or that Peter Stout, of the second generation, who died during his father's life- time, and who left a wife, Mary, had other than a daughter, Mary, and a son, John, though reputed to have had a large family, still I am inclined to assign the Richard Stout, under dis- cussion, to Richard Stout, of the second generation, and consider him the individual called "Squan Dick."
Squan Dick Stout settled at Squan and is reputed to have raised a large family, who dwelt at Barnegat and along the shore, where still their descendants may be found.

13 Benjamin Stout; reputed son.
5 ROBERT STOUT, son of Richard Stout, 3.
1715, Oct. 10. Robert Stout, of Shrewsbury, yeoman, for £5, sold to Thomas Chambers, of Shrewsbury, yeoman, land on the South side of Shark River, which the said Robert Stout received by deed from Nicholas Wainwright July 20, 1709. Robert Stout signed by his mark. Witnesses: Samuel Dennis, William Exeen, Samuel Dennis, Jr. Acknowledged by Robert Stout in 1720.
1734, Sept. 5. Robert Stout, of Shrewsbury, yeoman, conveyed to Peter Le Conte, of Freehold, physician and chirurgeon, for £30-10-0, one hundred acres of land and meadow, which said Stout received from George Lafetra by deed dated June 28, 1732, the land being situated in Shrewsbury, at Barnigat. Robert Stout signed by his mark. Witnesses: Samuel Dennis, Anthony Pintard and Obadiah Williams. Acknowledged by Robt. Stout, 1784.
1779, Feb. 17. There was a Robert Stout whose property was confiscated because of his Toryism, and advertised for sale at this date. His neighbors were those who were settled around Shrewsbury, and to the South thereof, which makes it probable that he was a descendant of Richard Stout, 3, and was likely the above mentioned Robert Stout, 5, or a son of his.
6 JOSEPH STOUT, son of Richard Stout, 3, received from his father, in 1709, a deed of land at Manasquan River, in which he is mentioned as "carpenter, of Shrewsbury."
1728/9, Jan. 22. Will of Joseph Stout, "of Shrewsberry;" proved, by Adam Woolley and William Kneeburn, Mch. 22, 1729. In it he mentioned:
Hannah, his beloved wife.
"Cousen Jonathan Jacock, the son of Thomas Jacocks."
And made Jonathan and his father the executors.
His servant girl, Mary Burk, to be set free at his death.
Witnesses: Adam Woolley, William Kneeburn, Samuel Leonard.
7 DAVID STOUT, son of Richard Stout, 3, bought lands from William West and Margaret, his wife, Sept. 2, 1712, when he is alluded to as singleman and yeoman. In 1718, he was dead, and his brother, Richard, was his heir-at-law.

8 SEYMOUR STOUT, son of Richard Stout, 3.
1739, Aug. 8. Seymour Stout, of Shrewsbury, singleman, sold to Henry Herbert, yeoman, the one-half part, or Easterly moiety of the same tract which was "conveyed to me by my loving father, Richard Stout, deceased, July 10, 1717." Signed his name: "Seimour Stout." Back of Book H., p. 30, Freehold, N. J., Records.
1747, Mch. 25. The above deed was acknowledged by Isaac Herbert, one of the witnesses. It is my belief Seymour Stout married and had a family, though as against this, he was single, in 1739, twenty-two years after his father had established him in life with real estate. It is likely that the group of children named in the following will belongs to him; if not, they belong to one of his brothers. Certainly they are descendants of Richard Stout, 3.
Will of Abraham Stout, of New York, cordwainer, mentioned: wife, Sarah, to whom he gave two houses in Water St., and all his household goods, and created her executrix; brothers, David and Seymour Stout, and sisters, Rebecca, Elizabeth and Mary Stout, an equal share in two houses adjacent to the above, and £20 more to his sister, Rebecca. Written Sept. 29, 1780; proved Oct. 2, 1780.
1779, Aug. 10. Seymour Stout was a witness, in New York, to the will of John Bogart.
9 PENELOPE STOUT, supposed daughter of Richard Stout, 3.
On the authority of O. B. Leonard, Esq., a daughter of this name was given to John, the son of Richard Stout, I, but as this Penelope Stout was reputed to be of Shrewsbury, it is more than likely she was the daughter of Richard Stout, son of Richard Stout, I, as he, and not his brother, John Stout, was the ancestor of those bearing the name Stout in Shrewsbury and further Southward.

1754, Aug. 6. Elisha Stout, Jr., of Manasquan, bought land of William Burnet, of Amboy. It seems nearly certain, because of his location, that Elisha Stout, Jr., was a descendant of Richard Stout, 3, and, because of his name, Elisha, strongly corroborative of Lucy Stout, wife of Elisha Lawrence, being of Shrewsbury origin.
11 JOHN STOUT, a supposed son of Richard Stout, 3.
It has been customary to assign a John Stout, who was a sea-faring man, and called "Sailor John" to John Stout, 2. This "Sailor John" Stout married and had a large family, among whom was a daughter, Penelope Stout. If the tradition concerning the existence of such a man be true, then the locality, the occupation and the fact that John, son of John Stout, 2, was of Middletown, and is accounted for, contradicts the assertion that John Stout, II, was a son of John Stout, 2, and makes him of necessity a son of Richard Stout, 3.

The descendants of these two Stouts were compiled by William Francis Creeger, of Philadelphia, in 1882, who then conjectured they were the descendants of David Stout.

*Though the name Semon, printed in Mrs. Leah Blackman's History of Little Egg Harbor Township, runs through several generations of the Cranmer family, I think it started originally with the spelling Semor, which if so, proves the kinship of Penelope and Rebecca Stout, of Shrewsbury, to Seymour Stout, of the same place, and it is worthy of mention, as corroborative of this sup- position, that Mrs. Blackman, on page 295, of her work, mentions, in distinguishing the titles of several of the John Cranmers, that some of them were known as "John's John and Semor's John; Long John and Short John; Poplar Neck John and Beach John; Over-the-Plains John and Patty's John; Captain John and Bank John; Neddy's John and Bass River John."
