Note: the male and female in their 20's are the proper ages for Barnard Stoughton and his wife Susan. The two youngest males are likely to be their children, but the 10-15 year old seems too old to be a child of someone in their 20's.

11 | Stoughton Family Genealogy and History research manuscript by Burke Stoughton, Apollo, PA, May-October 1996; G929.2 Butler Area Public Library, Butler, PA. (This source erroneously lists the father of the children on this page to be John Walker Stoughton (1767-1833), descended from a Jonathon Stoughton, Timothy Stoughton etc. family from E. Windsor, CT.) Notification by email Jan 2008 from the author, Burke Stoughton, indicates that the name John Walker Stoughton was erroneous, and that no connection to the Connecticut Stoughtons is presently known to us. Burke Stoughton cautions that his now outdated publication at Butler Library should be used with caution, as it contains several errors. Samuel Stoughton, for example, was the son of William Stoughton (not John Walker Stoughton), and was a brother of John W. Stoughton. Samuel Stoughton names a brother Andrew as an executor of his will. This Samuel Stoughton's 2nd wife's name was Catherine McCune, and would be the Catherine mentioned in his will. Burke Stoughton's research forward from this point (ie. the Stoughton family in Butler Co. PA) agrees with our findings and he has useful additions. For the children of John W. Stoughton he lists:

Source notes
- Per the obituary of Barnard V. Stoughton's wife Susan Myer, her first husband was John Hagan, father of John E. Hagan. Susan's son John E. Hagan married Barnard's niece Martha Boyle. Both families apparently originated in Clarion Co. PA.
- Per the memoir of Jennie Stoughton Osborn, her mother's farm was in Matildaville, PA. Matildaville, found in the 1865 map of Clarion County, is in Perry Twp., NW of West Freedom, at what appears in 1986 to be a center of Gas and oil wells. See."Treasure Maps of Clarion County" by Hank Nufnagel (see Contributors page at left for contact information).
