Daniel Stout, (1)

      Daniel, (1) is currently the senior family member known. He married Susanna whose maiden name and parent’s names are currently unknown. Both of their names were taken from the death certificate of their son John R., (2). It is assumed that they resided in Pennslyvania since that is where John (2) lists his birth. Nothing further is known about this family group. 2.* John R. Stout, b. Jan, 1855, d. Dec 16, 1901

John R. Stout, (2)

      John, (2) was born in Jan, 1855 in Pennslyvania. His grave stone shows the year 1852, however other records have proven that in error. He married Rachel Servis who was born in Feb, 1858 also in Pennslyvania. Her parents & siblings are unknown at this time. John (2) and Rachel lived on 74 York Street in Lambertville according to the 1900 census. The 1900 census also shows that his son John (3), his wife Minnie & their son William (8) lived with them. John's (2) occupation is noted as "Bootmaker" on this death certificate. John (2) died on December 16, 1901 at the age of 46. His wife Rachel died in 1940 at the appx. age of 82.

John (3) worked in the Rubber Mill in Lambertville making "Snag-proof" boots. The birth certificate of his son Russell (10) shows his occupation as "Bootmaker".
