For those researching STOUT, there are several Stout marriages listed on the IL. marriage list at the following link: http://www2.sos.state.il.us/cgi-bin/marriage Also here are 2 that I found in Putnam Co, which are not on that marriage list: 1. Orange GAYLORD marr. SARAH ELIZABETH STOUT, on Oct. 12, 1843 in Putnam Co.IL., by George W. Miner 2. SAMUEL STOUT marr. Mary Ann WINTERS on Mar. 12, 1840 in Putnam Co., IL., by J. G. Laughlin Another interesting fact is that an EZRA STOUT was performing marriages in Putnam Co. in 1842. We know that Francis Summerson that married Lucinda Stout in Clinton Co., PA. took his wife and children and moved to IL. before 1860 and settled in the area of Fulton Co. IL. which is very near to Putnam Co. So the Stout that were in this area were most likely relations of Lucinda (Stout) Summerson.
