NOTES
1). !See The Great Migration Begins, by Robert Charles And e r s on, p 1777. It tells that on 26 Jul 1651, the son o f t h e R ev. Thomas Stoughton wrote to Winthrop a length y theo lo gica l treatise, signing himself as Thomas Stoug hton, s o n and h eirof Thomas Stoughton, deceased. Ande rson sa y s the refe rence here is to his father, Rev. Thom as Stoug ht on, a leadi ng light of Elizabethan Puritanis m who was s ile nced early i n the reign of King James I, a nd who spen t th e rest of hi s life producing theologica l pamphlets. S o w e are reasonabl y certain that the Rev . Thomas Stoughto n i s the correct anc estor for our Kathe rine Stoughton wh o mar ried John Wilcox , Jr. !For a time, it was uncertain whether the ancestry o f t h e R ev. Thomas Stoughton traces back through Franci s Stou gh ton . In TAG 29 4, p. 193, Ralph M.Stoughton, Esq . sugge ste d th at the father of the Rev. Thomas Stoughto n who mar rie d Kath erine was probably a John Stoughton an d not Fran ci s Stought on. However, new evidence found b y Genevieve T yle e Kiepura , published in TAG 33 105 112 , proves that Fr anci s Stoughto n is the correct father. !In the will of the Uncle of the Rev. Thomas Stoughton , T h o mas Stoughton of New Canterbury, Kent, 1591, ther e is m en ti on of nephew Thomas Stoughton of Suffolk an d the tw o da ugh ters of Thomas Stoughton the minister. See TA G 33 10 5 !According to information sent to me by Robert T. Barr e t t , 694 Fasola Road, Sequim, Washington, 98382, the Re v . Th om as Stoughton was succeeded as rector at Naughton , S uffol k , England in July, 1694. It is not known wher e he s pen t hi s next six years, but he became Vicar of Co ggeshal l, E ssex , England on Dec. 12, 1600. He was remov ed fro m his n ew vi carage on Apr. 4, 1606, reason unknown . Accor ding t o inform ation in Genealogies and Biographi es of An cient W indsor, his second wife, Elizabeth who m he marrie d afte r the deat h of his first wife, Katherin e, in 1603 , remarri ed in 161 0 to William Knight of Linco ln. Thus, t he Rev.Tho mas Stoug hton must have died befor e 1610. !See TAG 29 193 Stoughton Family of Dorchester, Mas s . a n d Windsor, Conn., Genealogies and Biographies o f An cie n t Windsor and Descendents of Thomas Stoughto n of D orch es ter, Massachusetts, by George W.
