This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: STOUT, BEE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QKQBAIB/2054 Message Board Post: In their books of STOUT genealogy, Nathan Stout and Herald Stout both claim that Richard Stout of New Amsterdam was the son of John Stout and Elizabeth Bee of Burton Joyce, Nottinghamshire, England, but neither gives any evidence for this assertion. There is no birth record for Richard in Nottinghamshire, only a marriage recorded for John and Elizabeth. Is there any hard evidence for the relationship of Richard to John Stout?
