Still do not know parents of William and Ruth. Shirley Ramsey has some speculation. William was a farmer and then a carpenter according to census records. He served in the 182 Regiment of Ohio in the Civil War. Helped build forts etc. You are the first descendent of Charlotte of whom I am aware. I have had exchanges with Shirley and one or two others. I don't know when Ruth died. Someone who has seen the grave should be able to answer that. Bill Bradford Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

There are various twists on the story and it's difficult to say what is fact and what is fiction but it does seem plausible that Penelope did survive an Indian attack in what is now New Jersey ca. 1643. Also, if you have access to Heritage Quest, the computer based genealogical program, at your public library you will find several references to Penelope Stout in a number of books. Here's the children of Moses B. Stout b. 11/20/1829 and d. 6/12/1902 and his wife, Nancy Parker b. 3/4/1831 and d. 11/4/1906 (m. ca. 1853 in Adams Co., OH): 1.

Stout and his family moved from Stout (now Rome), Adams Co., Ohio to Palestine, Crawford Co., IL between 1864 and 1869. There is also some history of the Stouts during the time they lived in Adams Co., Green Twp., Ohio. According to the Adams Co. History, Obediah Stout (ca. 1745 to 2/5/1830)was the first white settler of Green Twp. (ca. 1796). Two of Obediah Stout's children were killed by Indians in 1796 while they were living near Graham's Station, KY. The family moved to Adams Co., Green Twp., OH the same year. Several of the Stouts along with James Morrison, the father of Sarah Morrison who m. Jesse S. Stout, are buried in Adams Co., Green Twp., Ohio.

I do have Moses B. Stout in my files but no wife or her ancestry either. In the dim recollections of my memory, I remember something about Penelope and the survival of an Indian attack but I do not have hard copy of that information. My cousin, Tom Adloff, (now deceased) told me some stories but I didnt write them down. Tom Adloff was the son of Parker Adloff and Ocie Stout, daughter of Peyton Stout and Louisa (Louella) Moore. Peyton Stout was the son of David Sanford Stout and Nancy Cole. David Sanford Stout was the son of James Stout and Mary Shumate. James was the son of Jesse Stout and Rebecca Morrison. I have no more to add. Tom's father was Adam D. Adloff and Amanda Parker. I descend from Adam D. Adloff's youngest sister, Elizabeth Adloff who married Andrew Jackson Gunter at Stout's Run in 1879. I would love to have the stories in my files, as well as a bit of descendancy from Moses B and Nancy Parker Stout. So nice to hear from you.

My mother and aunt said that there mother-Zetta was never told anything about her grandparents-Charles parents.

I am not able to access the census right now, but did find some info that indicates the Daniel in the 1860 census was married in 1809 and his first child born that year. The Daniel I am searching would have had a child born about 1807. I don't have birth info on any others. I will continue to look at the Daniel you mentioned. At this time I do not have any information about the generations of Dodges in Ohio after 1820. I traced back to Daniel from a descendent who left Ohio in the 1820's. As I research, if I find any connections to the Hazelbaker family, or Hiram Dodge born about 1867, I will pass it on to you. Good luck with your research. Please write if you have any further ideas.

He married Anna Hawk, who died in 1829 in Adams County. I have no knowledge of any descendants. But I know a few things about his ancestors. He was born in 1765 as Henry Brower or Hendrick Brouwer in New York, and is descended from one of the first Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam (now New York City). Parents were Abraham Brouwer and Mary Wiltse/Wiltze (spelling variants exist -- don't sweat them. They were common among persons of Dutch and French Huguenot ancestry in New Amsterdam/New York in the presence of the English. BROUWER generally became BROWER or BREWER at the time of the American Revolution as the early Dutch and the English assimilated. He was a veteran of the Revolutionary War, according to the Daughters of the American Revolution, so anyone who can prove descent from him can claim him as a qualification for membership. Desendants could conceivably have taken the surname BREWER. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
