I have been upset with the way our schools now deal with history. So I have decided to send some letters to my Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren on their heritage this is the first letter I intend to send and would like you feedback on it. Thank you; Jack TO: My Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren; I write this to give you a sense of your family heritage, and in hopes it will get you interested in your family history. I plan to write a series of these letters to you with different ancestors and their stories. You have the DNA of Kings, Queens, Presidents, and Religious Leaders flowing thru your veins. However, for the lead heritage report, I choose none of the above, but choose a woman. This is the story of Penelope, in the mid 1600s a ship came ashore at what is now Monmouth, New Jersey. Among the passengers of this ship was a young Dutchman and his bride, Penelope Van Princes. The shipwrecked company now lost were looking for New Amsterdam. Hardly had they started there journey when they were attacked by a band of hostile Indians, the young husband was killed along with others. Penelope was wounded , stripped, unconscious and near death. When Penelope recovered conscious she was horribly mangled, her head was severely wounded, one arm mangled and forever disabled and her body ripped open that she had to keep her entrails in by constant pressure using her one good hand. She wandered about for quite some time, stilling the pangs of hunger by chewing pieces of fungus , bark and berries. She found refuge in a hollowed out tree. At this time, she was found by an elderly Indian who became a good Samaritan. He built some sort of shelter under a tree and he began! the slow process of cleaning her wounds and nursing her back to health. Her wounds were so terrible that fifty years later there grizzled cicatrices still stood out from her abdomen in ridges of an inch high, to the marvel of her grandchildren who were permitted to pass their hands over these great scars. When Penelope was sufficiently recovered the elderly Indian moved her to an Indian village where she recovered her full strength. A few months later a rescue party found her and brought her to New Amsterdam (New York), where she met and married Richard Stout. Richard died in 1705, Penelope survived for some years and is said to have lived to 110, and had 502 descendants at the time of her death. Is the story of Penelope true? I have to say yes, it was reported and written about by numerous people who lived in that period of time, and the remarkable verification of her scars by her descendants. So, Grandchildren the next time you and feeling down and don't think you can make it, or see no hope in going on. Think of Penelope. Penelope is Toby and Jenny's 9th Great Grandmother Penelope is Stephanie, Kelsey, Cameron and Eric's 10th Great Grandmother Grandpa, Jack

I hope you will enjoy your search. I've found so much information and met the greatest "cousins" along the way! Your first step is to give out more information so people can help you.... what state did your father live in? What is his year of birth? Who were his parents? Mother's maiden name? etc. That will help researchers to identify your line within their information if they have a connection. Good luck!

Little did I know that there are so many Stout entries! My birth father’s name is Charles Robert-Bruce Stout, but I know little of him. Though I have met him a few times, I only know what I had to fill out when I enlisted in the Navy-not much. I am new to genealogy and from the looks of it, am a bit intimidated. The realization that within a few generations our “parents” can become too numerous to follow, is quite daunting. I am unsure of where to begin or what exactly I’m looking for. I do want to follow a line through the 10th century and beyond but I know so little of both my mother’s and father’s family. Through a thousand years there are literally hundreds of thousands of avenues to consider. Well, I know I’m Stout and that’s where I’ll begin…

Hosea Stout born: 22 October 1812 Ohio died: 24 May 1875 (believe Missouri, but not sure. He has a grave marker next to his wife in La Plata Cemetery) Married: 14 January 1846 Clinton Co. Ohio Matilda C. Meacham born: 27 November 1819 Virginia died: 29 January 1891 Missouri Buried in La Plata Cemetery outside of La Plata, Missouri Children of Hosea & Matilda: 1. Martha Born: abt. 1839 buried with her parents in La Plata 2. George born: abt. 1842 3. Adeline born: abt. 1844 4 Thomas born: abt. 1845 5. Alba born: abt. 1846 6. Hamar born: abt. 1847 7. Hannah born: abt. 1853 8. Emma born: abt. 1854 9. Joshua born: abt. 1856 10. Robert born: 10 November 1860 I again seek information on Hosea's parents...I suspect a "George" Stout that I have seen on early Ohio census records, and due to the first son in this family being named after a paternal grandfather? Just a guess at this point. Any help in placing Hosea with his parents, or clue's as to who they are would be very helpful and appreciated. Thanks again to all who have replied trying to help....hope this clears up any confusion between my Hosea & Hosea Stout born 1810 in KY and later of Mormon faith "fame" :) Stacey 5.

Hi Caryn, I have an Andrew Jackson Stout born about 1828, but I don't have his wife or children. I do have his father Charles Stout and mother Mary Duvall Stout and Andrew's brothers and sisters. This family is a mystery to me, and I have not been able to find much information so far. I think that the children must have scattered to different states. This Andrew Jackson Stout had a brother Oliver Stout who lived in Wayne Co., Indiana; many of Oliver's descendants still live here, and I've talked with one of them about my ggrandfather John A. Stout. If you think that this may be your Andrew Jackson, I'll give you this man's address and phone number. Here is the link to my page with Andrew Jackson Stout and his family: http://www.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=shasta4737&view=0&pid=619& rand=42363 Sincerely, Susan E. Davis
