Below is the request of a new person, Can anyone out there help further? I have what I found listed below his message. QUERY: My grandfather Stout had as either his first name or middle name "Franklin". I think he died in the late 1920's. That is all I know. My father Claude Stout was born in 1905 in DeWitt county. The surname is Stout. Any Stouts buried there before 1940 are relatives. My paternal grandfather and grandmother are there. I very much would like to get his and her full name and birth/deceased dates. My grandfather Stout had as either his first name or middle name "Franklin". I think he died in the late 1920's. That is all I know. My father Claude Stout was born in 1905 in DeWitt county. I thank you for any help you can give. Frank Stout [email protected] Frank I am afraid this won't be much help but will at least get you started. I did not find the marriage of the parents of your Grandfather nor did I find Benjamin listed on the 1870 census as a three year old. You need to find the family in the 1880 census and I do not have that here. I have posted this to this list in hopes someone else can help you.
