Ten small notebooks containing notes on various Stackhouse families
Scope and Contents
Lower Stackhouse (1825-1905) was a grandson of Amos and Mary Powell Stackhouse, through their son Samuel Powell Stackhouse (1794-1858). Volume #69 states on the first page: “I received the information contained in this book from genealogy in possession of Asa Matlack Stackhouse prepared by his father Robert 2nd Genealogy prepared by Lower Stackhouse Records of Goshen M. Mtg.” The genealogy referred to as prepared by Robert Stackhouse states on its first page: “The Annexed Genealogical records with the notes and other writings appended have for the most part been copied nearly verbatim from a collection which was prepared by my brother Powell Stackhouse a few years previous to his decease which took place December 27th 1863 RS”
The writing is supplemented by William Romig Stackhouse (1870-1938), older son of Asa Matlack Stackhouse, often in pencil.
