  • Notes 
    • Penelope is the daughter of Baron Van Printzen, born 1598 in Amsterdam, Noord, Holland & died 1650 in Holland.

      The History of the Stout Family:
      They had together 7 sons & 3 daughters, viz...: John, Richard, Jonathan, Peter, James, Benjamin, David. The daughters were - Deliverance, Sarah, Penelope.
      Ref: First Settling in Middletown, Monmouth County, New Jersey, By Nathan Stout, 1823.
      Penelope's tenth & last child, David, was born in 1669. That would have made Penelope a mother at age 47.

      . The History of the Stout Family:
      About the same time a ship from Amsterdam, in Holland, on her way to the said New Amsterdam, was driven on the shore that is now called [Sandy Hook near] Middletown, in Monmouth County, in the State of new Jersey, which ship was loaded with passengers, who with much difficulty got on shore. But the Indians not long after fell upon them & butchered & killed the whole crew, as they thought, but soon after the Indians were gone, a certain Penelope Van Princes, whose husband the Indians had killed, found herself possessed of strength enough to creep to a hollow tree, where she remained some days. An Indian happening to come that way, whose dog coming to the tree, occasioned him to examine the inside of the tree, where he found the said Penelope in a forlorn, distressed condition. She was bruised very severely about the head, her left shoulder so hacked that she could never use that arm like the other, & her bowels protruded from a cut across her abdomen; she kept them in with her hand. She had been in this fearful condition 7 days when the Indian found her. In his compassion he took her out of the tree & carried her to his wigwam where he treated her kindly & healed her wounds, & in a short time conveyed her in his canoe to New Amsterdam, where he sold her to the Dutch, who then owned that city, now called New York.
      The man & woman from whom the whole race of Stouts descended, got into the city of New Amsterdam, where they became acquainted with each other & were married.
      Ref: First Settling in Middletown, Monmouth County, New Jersey, By Nathan Stout, 1823.

      Case of the Milk Cow:
      . 1648 Sep 12 - "Ambrose London, plaintive against: Ye wife of Thos Aplegate, defendant in an action of slander for saying his wife did milke her Cowe". "The defendant saith that shee said noe otherwise but as Penellopey Prince told her to Ambrose, his wife did milke her Cowe".

      "Rodger Scotte being deposed, saith he being in ye house of Thos Aplegate, he did heare Pennellopy Prince saye to ye wife of Ambrose London, [she] did milke ye Cowe of Thos Aplegate".

      "Thos Greedye being deposed saith ye Pennellope Prince being at his house, he did heare her saye to him & Aplegates' Daughter must come as witnesses again: Ambrose his wife milking Aplegates Cowes". Pennellope Prince being questioned acknowledged her faulte in so speaking & being sorry, her words she spake gave satisfaction on both sides."
      Ref: Gravesend Town Book, Vol 1, 1648 Sep 12.
