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
