Manuscript not published; now owned by Holly K. Anderson. [Family source: the introductory text on RootsWeb indicates that Nancy Stoughton Patterson's great-grandfather was William Stoughton, born 1742-43.] See RootsWeb's World Connect Project: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hollykat&id=I474 Samuel Stoughton married 2nd Catherine McCune in 1821. Their children included Nancy Stoughton (Feb 12, 1827 - ??) who married John Patterson.

DISCLAIMER: USE OF UNDOCUMENTED WEB SOURCES Some of the information on this page was found on websites presented by researchers who have either not listed their sources completely or employ the circular logic of citing additional undocumented websites. These web site sources are listed separately below. The attribution number for these web sources is preceded by a "W". As we frequently find conflicting information on the web family trees, we offer the un-sourced information here as a starting point for further research only.

W1	Stoughton History,RootWeb World Connect, by Lowe Phillips, at: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=lowe_phillips&id=I0143 Lists 3 spouses of John Patterson, including 2 Stoughtons: 1st wife Hannah M. Stoughton b. 26 Oct 1815, m. 1834 to John Patterson, 7 children listed including daughter Catherine J. Patterson (this line traced further). Hannah M. Stoughton is listed as daughter of John Walker Stoughton and Catherine Covert, (We believe this to be an incorrect pairing. Please see John Stoughton, sources #12, 14, 15.) John M. Patterson & Hannah Stoughton (Patterson) buried Zion Baptist Cemetery. Sources offered by L. Phillips for this couple's data are incomplete; we assume either direct family information, or a collation of other undocumented web sources. 2nd wife Mary Cooper (11 Apr 1828 - 3 Sep 1865) in Butler, PA;wed 1855. 4 children listed. Mary Cooper's parents not listed. No sources listed. 3rd wife Nancy Stoughton (12 Feb 1827,PA - 27 Jan 1914, Butler PA); wed 9 Dec 1865. Her parents Samuel Stoughton & Catherine McCune. No children listed.

Source notes

• Child Isaac Patterson appears at age 14 in the 1860 census, but is not mentioned in the 1850 census. Research needed to rule out that he could have been a child of 2nd wife Mary Cooper & adopted by Patterson.
• Childred Alvira b. 1860 and Phoebe b. 1860 are either twins, or more likely,one individual (as Alvira Phoebe, or Phoebe Alvira Patterson). Alvira appears in the 1860 census; Phoebe in 1870. Lowe Phillips website lists them as 2 individuals.
• Burial site of John Patterson & Hannah Stoughton listed by Lowe Phillips as Zion Baptist cemetery, Butler Co. PA; we assume this to be Mt. Zion Baptist in Franklin Twp.
