Hello, I to am researching Eli Stout. My mother called me yesterday and said she has a newspaper article she just found and it show that My gguncle Jake was 102 years of age when he died, his father was William married Amanda Wilson, his grandfather was, Thomas married Polly Shields and his ggrandfather was Eli married Nancy (Cogar) (Wilson) Stout. I can't tell you more til I get it. But it Said something about a Issac and Michael Stout (twins) who fought in the Civil war. Maybe this will help you a little. You can email me at twokarrit@aol.com
