JR. BAff BENJA. STOUT Sheriff. Cherry Hall Papers.
1710, Aug. 25. Benjamin Stout recorded the cattle-mark that formerly belonged to his father, Richard Stout, I.
1715. He was a resident of Delaware.
1721, May. The above cattle-mark was assumed by John Burrows, Benjamin Stout and his family, having moved away.
Dr. Thomas Hale Streets, of the U. S. Navy, [133 East Mount Airy Ave., Mount Airy, Philadelphia], who has given some time to the study of this line of the Stouts, says Benjamin Stout migrated to Delaware and became the ancestor of the Stouts of that State. He also asserts that he is unable to find any documentary evidence to show that, as has been claimed, Benjamin Stout ever lived in Maryland. The statement to this effect may have arisen from the fact, ("a falsity has usually a nucleus of reality"), that he owned land on the Maryland road, (it is so called in deeds), running from Appoquinimink Creek, (Delaware), to Bohemia (Maryland). He is described in deeds as of George's Creek, in the vicinity of the Dragon Swamp. He after- ward moved further down the County to Appoquinimink Creek.
In 1721, while he was of George's Creek, he gave lands to his sons, Charles and Benjamin, Jr., calling the former "his son and heir."
In 1727, he conveyed land on George's Creek that he had purchased, in 1715, the earliest date when his name appears in the Delaware records, though the deed for this land is not found, perhaps because some of the old books of New Castle County were lost during the Revolutionary War.
It is known that Benjamin Stout had a wife Agnes, whose name appears among the mem- bers of the Baptist Church, Middletown, N. J., in 1712. She was living, Feb. 16, 1734, when, as Agnes Stout, widow of Benjamin Stout, late of Appoquinimink Hundred, Delaware, she petitioned the Orphan's Court for authority to sell his dwelling plantation, and was joined in the petition by her son Jacob. Whether Benjamin Stout had any earlier wife than Agnes I do not know, nor do I know her surname, but inasmuch as Morgan Edwards, in his Contributions to a History of the Baptists, states that an intermarriage occurred between one of the sons of Richard and Penelope Stout with a Truax, and, as members of the Truax family, migrated about the same time as Benjamin Stout, and settled, as his neighbors, in Delaware, it raises the pre- sumption that Agnes, the wife of Benjamin Stout, might have been a Truax by birth.
Benjamin Stout made his will Apr. 25, 1734, which was proved June 10, 1734, wherein he stated that he was in a "low condition," and bequeathed all his property to his son Jacob; his wife, unnamed, to be subsisted out of the estate.
