"The original Stouts were largely a red-haired race; not an offensive red, but one with a touch of gold."
"Penelope Stout was buried on the farm of Mr. Kelly, who purchased the same from Mr. Carman, which lies between Holmdel and Annie Ogborn's Corner."
Perhaps this can be reconciled with the following:
"Penelope Stout's grave can be seen from the windows of the house of Charles Conover (Big Charley). This farm is, or was, until recently, known as the Obadiah Stillwell farm and formed part of the homestead of Richard Stout, the first."
At one time I was inclined to think that Penelope Stout was buried in the Lippit Burying- ground, but later evidence convinces me that this was an error.
"The maiden name, perhaps married name, of Penelope Van Princis.was Kent or Lent," as Mrs. Seabrook recalls it.
"Penelope was a Dutch woman, and her name I always supposed was Van Prince, either by birth or marriage, but I think my grandmother called her by another name which I do not remember. My grandmother never told me whom she married, merely gave the story of the wreck and her subsequent history." Mrs. T. W. Seabrook, Nov. 4, 1881.
Hope Still and Deliverance were twins and grandchildren of Penelope Stout, who were born, during an Indian excitement, in the block house which was situated on the site of the of the present Episcopal Church, in Middletown, N. J.
Mrs. Seabrook states that her grandmother, Helena Huff, said that Penelope Stout was bandaged with withes (the inside bark of a tree) and sewed with gut, and that the Indian who preserved her life, when he saw her lying, walked backwards and threw his blanket over her as a sign that he protected her. This occurred at Long Branch.
On one occasion, when there was a threatened Indian uprising, he called upon her, at Middletown, and refused to eat supper that night as was his custom. They took the hint from this suggestion, and lay off in the bay, in a boat, until the excitement abated.
