Book Description

Excerpt from The Stout Family of Delaware: With the Story of Penelope Stout "The Story of Penelope Stout" is a fit introduction to any history of the Stout family; in fact, it would not be complete without it. This story was published privately several years ago as a brochure, when I first began the study of the Stout Family of Delaware, and became interested in its antecedents. It is republished here with additions and alterations. I have been at considerable pains in verifying the legend by official contemporary documents and by local history, and find that it agrees more with facts than is usually the case with family traditions. The Stout Family of Delaware is properly one of the series of "Allied Families," inasmuch as most of those in Delaware, of recent years, were descendants of Mary Griffin.
