I can't remember if Peter "The Quaker's" parents were Quaker, but Peter & his wife were. I have records of Peter & Margaret's children & grandchildren in North Carolina, and early records (via microfilm at my local FHC) on Kennet & New Garden MM's in Chester Co PA/Newcastle Co DE, but have never seen a Stout listed in them. Peter & Margaret's first 2 children were born in Lancaster Co. PA, the rest in York Co PA, according to the Cane Creek MM records (NC). Those same records also indicate that Peter was born in Newcastle Co. DE. The Cane Creek MM records indicate that Peter was "received on request" at the Cane Creek MM (Orange Co NC) on 8m-7-1762. Margaret & 3 daughters were "received on certificate" from the Warrington MM on the same date. When one is "received on request," it could mean that he hadn't been a member before, but was requesting membership. It could also have meant that he didn't have a transferring membership certificate from the old MM (Monthly Meeting) to the new. I've not tried to research in Warrington MM records as of yet. Most of my husband's Quaker families were from Chester Co PA and/or Newcastle Co. DE. I have the same URL for the Allen Stout journal, & also get a "page not found" message, or something like that. There's also a journal for his brother Hosea, but Allen's is much more informative. My husband is a descendant of Peter & Margaret's youngest daughter Rachel & her husband, John Allen.

Was he also a Quaker? Are there Quaker records from that area at that time? > > > Connie Larkey Ace > [email protected] > > > > > ==== STOUT Mailing List ==== > > >
