Kay, have you and I exchanged Slout information? I am interested in knowing more about the family of William Slout. Can you tell me more about the John and Sarah Chamberlain in the 1880 census? Do you know his parents? I am researching a theory that Mary (Pickle) Bodine married Ebenezer Petty 31 Dec. 1805 as reported in the Hunterdon Co. Marriage Records, Vol. 1 p. 104. They were married by J.P. Wright. I believe this was the second marriage for both. Ebenezer Petty died 24 Dec. 1836. I believe Mary is living with her daughter Matilda Slought in the 1850 census. Based upon the Orphan's Court records, it appears Ebenezer had several children from his first marriage and three children from the second marriage to Mary Bodine: Ann (Queen or Quinn) born 1806, Jonathan b. 1808 and Matilda b. 1812. She was named Matilda Slout in the Orphan's Court records. Given Name Surname Age M/F Occupation Value of Real Estate State of Birth William Slought 40 M Farmer New Jersey Matilda “ 38 F “ Deborah Ann “ 10 F “ Anderson S. “ 8 M “ Mary Petty 81 F 2000 “ I have found the name spelled Slought and Slout. I found William Slout 72 and Matilda Slout 69 in the 1880 US Census living in Phillipsburg, Warren Co., NJ. I know it is the correct family because Anderson Slout, who was listed with them in the 1850 census, is living nearby. William has paralysis. Their son William H. Slout 27, is living with them. I may have found Matilda still living in 1895 in the New Jersey census, living with son William H. Slout. A Chamberlain is living next door. I believe Mary Petty is the mother of my ancestor, Sarah Bodine who was born to Mary (Pickle) and Jacob Bodine 4 September 1796 and was baptised in the German Reformed Church in Alexandria, Hunterdon Co. Nicholas Pickle, brother of Mary Pickle also had children baptised in the same church. Mary Bodine is named in the will of her father in 1796. My Sarah Bodine married John Chamberlin 3 March 1817 in Hunterdon Co., NJ. These Chamberlin's moved to Woodstock, Union Co., Ohio, where they died and are buried. Sarah named her oldest daughter (my ancestor) Matilda. I have more information on Ebenezer Petty and his children if anyone else is researching the Pettys.
