Hi Doug, Good luck working on the Stouts of Hopewell; I'm sure you'll go home with plenty of info. Half of Hopewell is descended from Penelope Stout. You can stand on any corner and ask and passersby can tell you about the Stouts (well, except for the "newbys" who have only lived in the area 30 years or so)! I have cousins in Hopewell and they are descended from the Stouts, as are all of their spouses! Try out the Hopewell Museum on Broad Street, Hopewell. Happy hunting!
