* By the 1860 census (see [[Barnard V. Stoughton]]), John E. Stoughton was no longer living in the household of his parents. He probably married about 1859, at age 23, as Cassie was born in that year.  The 13-year break before another child is born would seem to indicate that Mahala J. was a 2nd wife.  We have no evidence yet of a first wife. It is possible that Cassie J. Stoughton was a niece or other relation; or that John and Mahala waited 13 years after the first child was born to have more children.  These options seem less likely. If Cassie were a niece, it still leaves unexplained why the couple waited so long to have their children.
