Looking for some help and I hope there are some Jehu William Stout also known as John Stout descendents out there that May help me solve this mystery. Jehu (John)Willaim Stout Married Eliza Conover in 1813 in Somerset Co. New Jersey. They had children : Jane , James Nelson , Peter Stryker , Ura . I have searched for many years for my Gggrandmother Jane Stout's family connections. Although I am familiar with the Stout family because doing my wife's ancestry she is descended from Peter Stout son of Richard the first and Penelope. Here is my problem, my Gggrandfather Samuel Cook died in 1847 and was in his thirties and made his discovery very Difficult and took numerous years to find. He married Jane Stout about 1831 in Lawrence Twp. N.J. and they had 5 children Henry( my Ggrandfather) Samuel , Julia , Leticia , Sarah , James Nelson . On Jane Stout Cook died in 1884 and never Remarried. On her death cert. it states that her parents were John Stout and Eliza Stryker and that she was born in Somerset Co. New Jersey. I believe that the record on Eliza Conover that married Jehu must be correct Eliza Conover Just may be a widow of a Conover and the record doesn't show that her maiden name may in fact be Eliza Stryker. Peter Stryker Stout named both of his children's middle name Bergen after their mother's maiden name. If anyone can shed some light on this please let me know. Michael Cook Montgomery co. Penna.
