I found this on a website "NJ Pine Barrens & Down Jersey" last night. It throws a bit of light on our quest for Sarah Stout born 1787, but not a whole lot. In this part of the article (I can't post the whole thing but included only the pertinent parts), it cites there were 10 children of Daniel Stout and Anna Chadwick, but only names 9 of them: Description : Reprinted from the old South Jersey Magazine with permission. By Ralph K Turp. Part 5 of 6. Full Text : After the two boys were grown, Katherine, their mother, married Ernest Napier, a wealthy sportsman of north Jersey where he had a highly profitable business as a manufacturer of hats. He spent time in and about Forked River. On November 7, 1913, he was elected president of the New Jersey Fish and Game Commission. It was Napier whose interest helped in the development of the New Jersey State Game Farm on the one-time Woodmansee tract. Following the marriage of his former wife, Katherine, to Napier, Harry married Elsie Gentry of Bridgeton, New Jersey. A more detailed study of the family tree of the Parker family may be read in "Lacey Township: People and Progress." Closely related to the Parkers through marriage was the Stout family, one of the area's prestigious families. James Stout lived in Shrewsbury from 1675 to 1760. John Stout, 1735 - 1791, married Ruth Ellison. He served in the 2nd regiment, Monmouth County Militia during the Revolution and he also served under Captain Joshua Huddy in defense of the block house at Toms River. He enlisted in the 7th Company of Dover which was known as The Twelve Month Men. In 1873, he was appointed Overseer of the Poor. James and Ruth Ellison Stout had Daniel Stout who was born November 14, 1758 and died September 3, 1843.14, He is remembered as The Squire of Good Luck. His last child, Sarah Carvel, married D.C. Rogers whose estate is now possessed by Fred, Jr. and Grace Ross. Sarah was born September 12, 1811. D.LC. Rogers sired ten children namely, John, October 5, 1793 who died single, Hannah, November 6, 1796, married William Rogers, Rachel, November 11, 1798, married John Williams, Caroline, November 16, 1801, married John Henderson, Catherine, November 8, 1802. married William Holmes, Ann, January! 25, 1805, married Joseph Holmes and her sister, Alice who was born May 16, 1808, married Randolph Dey, Margaret, born November 29, 1809, married John Applegate. A toll road was built from Toms River to Forked River. While the road greatly improved transportation for travellers, there were those riders who were unwilling to pay their share of costs and managed to evade the toll booth. The Board of Directors decided to move the toll booth southward to a point near Eagle Hollow and to remove a toll booth set near Aumack's Mill. By 1872, the directors were complaining of a serious loss of revenue due to the competition of the railroads and sought to have Forked River and Toms River buy the franchise thus enabling the directors to recoup their investment. By this time, two railroads served Forked River. One ran from Toms River to Forked River. David Stout Parker convinced the Board of Directors that additional revenues were to be had were the line continued to Waretown.Once this was agreed upon, Parker secured the contract to grade the new road bed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So there it is. . .as I've said, it doesn't help much.
