--------------------
The Stouts were one of the founding families of Monmouth County. Richard Stout (c 1615 - c1705) was one of the signers of the Monmouth Patent in 1664, which certified that the area had been purchased from the local Indians and guaranted religious toleration. Richard's wife, Penelope Kent Van Prince (1622-1732), earned her own fame as a result of her shipwreck on the Jersey shore, the death of her first husband at the hands of an Indian raiding party, her own scalping, kidnapping, and eventual sale to Europeans in New Amsterdam. She and Stout married about 1644. It was her connection to the East Jersey Indians that facilitated the negotiations leading to the Monmouth land purchase and the establishment of Middleton in the mid 1660s. In 1668 the Stouts helped organize the first Baptist Church in New Jersey. Richard Stout eventually became the lartest landowner in the Monmouth County and his seven sons, three daughters and their descendants remained among its leading citizens for several generations.
