In the book, "The Prall Family", by Richard Dwight Prall, is listed the
family of David STOUT b. about 1667, d. 1732 Amewell, NJ, buried Stout
family farm plot, m. Rebecca ASHTON 1688. Their children were:
(1) Sarah Stout b. 1689 unmarried.
(2) Rebecca Stout b. 1691, m. John Manners of Upper Freehold.
(3) Freegift Stout b. 1693, will probated 2 Aug 1769 Amwell Township,
Hunterdon Co., NJ, m. Mary Higgins (1700-1773).

(7) Deliverance Stout b. 1701, m. Francis Labaw.
(8) Benjamin Stout b 1707, d. 23 May 1789 Amwell, Hunterdon Co., NJ.

In about 1725 David moved to Amwell, Hunterdon Co., NJ. David and the
previous Jonathan Stout were the Stout line who went to Hunterdon Co., NJ to
eventually marry into the Prall family.
David Stout was listed as the son of Richard Stout and Penelope Van
Princes.
I found no will for David Stout, but the following is the will for his
father Richard.

life, all my orchard and that part of room of the house she now lives in
with cellar and all land I now improve. Unto my loving wife all my horses,

Also in the Prall Family, p. 442, is noted that Richard was one of the
39 patentees to settle Gravesend, Long Island, in about 1643. It was about
1664 when Richard and his sons received a large grant of land at Middletown,
NJ.

There is also a will for Freegift Stout. He wrote the will 9 Jun 1763,
probated 2 Aug 1769 and gave wife Mary household goods, etc. and sons to pay
her 10 pounds yearly; gave to son Jodiah in his lifetime deed for his
portion, which is land in Windsor T., Middlesex Co., and to his daughter
Rebecca the sum of 40 shillings; farm I bought of James Oliphant to son
Freegift in Amwell T. and 76A out of homestead plus 8A of meadows; son James

and 30A which I sold to Richard Chamberlain; moveable estate to Sarah
Oliphant the wife of Ephraim Oliphant of Kingswood T., Rebecca Taylor wife

James. There are also two codicils and an inv. on 2 Aug 1769 of L208.19.8
(B14 p64).
