Generation No. 2
2. RICHARD5 STAUGHT (JOHN4, RICHARD3 STOUT, DAVID2, ANDREW1) was born Bet. 1603 - 1615 in Burton, Joyce Par, Nottinghamshire, England, and died October 23, 1705 in Middletown, Monmouth County, New Jersey. He married PENELOPE KENT VAN PRINCIS 1644 in New York, daughter of BARON VAN PRINCIS. She was born 1622 in Amsterdam, N, Holland, and died 1732 in Middletown, Monmouth County, New Jersey.
Notes for RICHARD STAUGHT:
Richard saved the life of the Duke of York who requested him to change the spelling of his name in order to preserve the memory of the deed. Therefore, the name STOUT, formerly a synonym for strong came into being. He also had the choice of being made a knight or receiving a grant of land in the new world. He chose the later and became one of the first American settlers. There he met and married Penelope Van Princis and they settled in Middletown, New Jersey.
One of his crops was evidently tobacco, for it was found that he sold his tobacco crops in October 1649 for 210 guilders. Richard appeared again in Gravesend records in 1657 when we learn he was cultivating 17 of his 20 acres, also in 1661 when he bought a farm adjoining his.
About this time, various settlers in Gravesend decided their area was becoming too crowded, so they sailed up the Raritian River and began negotiating with the Sachem Indian tribe for the purchase of land in what was becoming part of New Jersey. Richard Stout and others bought the Sachem's right to the land embraced in the future Monmouth Patent, and on April 8, 1664, the patent was confirmed by Governor Richard Nicholls. The other Patentees were John Bowne, John Tilton, William Goulding, Samuel Spicer, Richard Gibbons, James Grover, Nathaniel Sylvester, William Reape, Walter Clark, Nicholas Davies and Obediah Holmes.
Stout then sold his Gravesend property and moved to New Jersey with his wife and at least two of his children, John and Richard. The others followed later. Because he had settled on the land prior to January 1665, Richard Stout was able to claim 780 acres for his family by 1675. Future settlement was restricted starting in July 1669 because Middletown was considered "wholly completed being full according to their number."
Richard was noted to be illiterate, as his Will (proven on October 23, 1705) was signed with an "x". His will was proven at Perth Amboy: Lib. 1, page. 120, NJ Wills.

He settled in the county where he was born. He married and had a large family of children, and grew very rich.
