Continued: According to granddaughter Mabel Perrine Sutherland, the Stoutenburgh family were Holland Dutch and were among the first settlers of Manhattan Island, NY. Trinity Church of Manhattan was apparently build on property previously owned by the Stoutenburghs. An ancestor of Almond Stotenbur was apparently one of the original sixteen settlers of Dutchess Co., NY. There has been perpetuated a since disproved theory that "Gen. Putman of Revolutionary ill fame" was related to the Stotenburs on Barnhardt side and that Gen. Putman was a 2nd cousin to Deborah Barnhart. That theory proved incorrect when Joseph Barnhart's wife Sarah PUTMAN proved to be from the Dutch and not the English Putnams and Putmans. Per Mabel Sutherland in the notebook of family she created for her only son George, the "Gridley Book" gives the history of Stotenburs from settlement of Manhattan. I have never been able to find this book -- just the Stoutenburgh circle chart that was developed to go with the book. I found Almond Stotenbur in the 1870 Alma, Allegany, NY census. The census lists him as age 45 and wife Deborah as age 33. Although he lived to 1887 and presumably died in Branch Co. Michigan (later confirmed by a death certificate), I cannot find him in the 1880 census. William Dana Perrine was still with his parents in the 1880 census and died in 1891. He married Iva Mary Stotenbur 6 Aug 1882. Almond's daughter remarried in 1888. One could guess that Deborah had died and Almond went to join his daughter in Kinderhook, Branch, MI. Yet, the death certificate indicates married out of a choice of married, single widow or widower. The source of the information for the death certificate is unknown. A death date of 1 Mar 1887 at 71 years 4 months and 7 days would calculate to a birth date of 22 Oct 1815. The place of birth was given as Pennsylvania. On 10/1/2006 Beverlee Broadlick located the family in the 1880 census. This is an example of a census taker who either could not spell or was just simply incompetent. 1880 Dansville, Steuben NY roll T9-933 FH Film 1254933 page 193_1000 E.
