Source Notes

  • Will of John Stoughton lists son John and son Bernard; researcher Jeanne Eichelberger lists a son John Bernard.
  • Can not find 1830, 1840 census. In 1840 she may be living with one of her children.


*In 1850, Catherine Covert Stoughton, widow, apparently living next door to her son John. Andrew Stoughton in the next dwelling may be a son of John's.
*The Stoughton organizers of Muddy Creek Baptist church may be Catherine Covert Stoughton, her sons Jacob and Andrew, and her brother in law Samuel (who later became a Baptist minister).More likely however is that Catherine Stoughton is Catherine McCune, wife of Samuel Stoughton.

A Covert family, Isaac and Nancy, is on the 1870 census for Brady Twp, Butler Co, pg 9 (see James Irvin Hogue. There is no known relationship at this time. EBW, 19 Aug 2007

Research Notes

  • Research re. burial site of John & Catherine Stoughton, with negative results: No gravestones found at various Butler County cemeteries visited in 2006-2007 by E. Wilson Williams (Mt. Zion Baptist Cemetery, Wolf Creek Cemetery, Muddy Creek Cemetery, Prospect's Emanuel Lutheran Cemetery, Prospect Presbyterian Cemetery or West Liberty Cemetery). No record found in the entire 5 volume set of the Cemetery Inventory of Butler County, searched by research staff of the Butler Area Public Library, Oct. 2007.
    This suggests burial without gravestones, or that their stones deteriorated beyond legibility by the time of the Inventory; or burial at a small private cemetery not included in the Inventory.
