Surnames: Stout Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QKQBAIB/2068.1 Message Board Post: I don't really know about Chanute, KS, but my dad and grandfather both were from St. Mary's, Kansas. Granddad's name was Samuel Martin Stout and my dad is George Martin Stout. Now there were two Samuel Stouts living in the same area, however, the other Samuel Stout is not necessarily close relation. I do have the contact person from the other Samuel Stout side of the family and she has several Stouts in the general area. Good luck.
