Notes:

Captain Daniel or Godfrey Daniel Stout of the Revolutionary War was, according to family tradition, of
German descent and came from Pennsylvania through the Shenandoah Valley to Sullivan County, Tennessee and
settled on the left bank of the Holston River near the mouth of Jacobs Creek; spring on right bank (a Mr. Dogget
lives at the same place now). The house was still standing up to a few years ago. (Date of writing 1933).

land to his sons and sons-in-law.

I DO hereby certify, that DANIEL STOUT hath taken and subscribed the oath of affirmation of alleigance and fidelity, as directed by an act of General Assembly intitled An act to oblige the free male inhabitants of this state above a certain age to give assurance of allegiance to the Same, and for other purposes. Witness my hand and seal, this 10th day of August 1777.
Abrm. Smith (STF)
The above is a true copy of the record of allegiance as made by Daniel Stout before Abrm. Smith, who was acting for the government, as evidence by the last three letters which apparently form a seal of some sort. Except 8 for the names and dates the form appears in print. This original paper is in the possession of a descendant of Daniel Stout, J. H. Pierce, County Supt. of Schools, Mountain City, Tenn.
