| The Manners Family of Hunterdon County, New Jersey is actually more "Stout" than "Manners." John Manners, the Yorkshire immigrant to New Jersey, married Rebecca Stout, daughter of David Stout and Rebecca Ashton and granddaughter of Richard Stout, the founder of the English Stouts of New Jersey, and his wife, Penelope Van Prinzen. John Manners II, married first, Mary Higgins, granddaughter of Jediah Higgins and Hannah Stout, g-granddaughter of Jonathan Stout and Hannah Bollen, and g-g-granddaughter of Richard and Penelope. John Manners II, married second, Anne Stout, daughter of John Stout and Rachel Merrill, granddaughter of James Stout and Catherine Simpson, g-granddaughter of David Stout and Rebecca Ashton, and g-g-grandaughter of Richard and Penelope. Lydia Manners, sister of John II, married James Stout. James' parentage is uncertain, but he is likely a descendant of Richard and Penelope. John Schenck Manners, grandson of John II, married Penelope Stout, daughter of John Stout and Eunice Evans, granddaughter of Richard Stout and Penelope Parke, g-granddaughter of John Stout and Catherine Stout, g-g-granddaughter of Joseph Stout and Ruth Brinson, g-g-granddaughter of Richard Stout and Mary Tilton, g-g-g-granddaughter of Jonathan Stout and Hannah Bollen, g-g-g-granddaughter of John Stout and Elizabeth Crawford, g-g-g-g-granddaughter of Richard and Penelope.

Several other sidelines of the family also married into the prolific Stout family. View my Stout Descendant Tree. I trace four lines of descent from Richard and Penelope (my 10 times great-grandparents). One of the better web sites on the Stout family tree is maintained by Bill Stout. Visit it.
