Augustus B. Stoughton was born, on 25 June1814, at McCall’s Ferry, York County, Pennsylvania and later removed to around the Lewisburg, Pa. area, circa 1817.

This man is likely to be mistaken for the Augustus B. Stoughton who was the Patent Clerk in Washington D.C. for a time and who also, at one time, resided in York, Pennsylvania and whose estate was declared insolvent, in 1837.

In 1850 he was employed as a Tin Smith, in Lewisburg, Pa., age 30 and he was married to Rebecca, age 29 and had several children living with him, at home. These were:
1. Roland, age 9; 2. Sarah Jane, age 7; 3. Frank, age 6; 4. Mary, age 3 and 5. William, age 9/12 and all of them were born in Pennsylvania.

The year 1860, finds he was still residing in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, age 46, still employed as a Tin Smith, married to Rebecca, age 30, and with children Roland, age 19, also a Tin Smith; Sarah, age 17; Frank, age 15, listed as Laborer; William, age 11; James, age 11; C. Stoughton, age 4, a female and A. Stoughton, age 2, also a female, living with him, in Lewisburg, Pa.

In 1880, he is still residing in Lewisburg, age 66 and working as a Tinsmith. He is married and has several children still in the home: Nellie, age 18; Abby, age 21; James, also a Tinsmith, age 26; Isabel, age 26 and Mary, age 31.

He reappears in 1900, in Lewisburg and he is age 86 and still working as a Tin Smith. He is married to Rebecca, age 71 and he still has children living with him and they are: Mary, age 50; James, age 45, working as a Bartender and Abby,(This name looks like Abbie with this census, but we are not sure;age 39.)

He died on 27 June 1906 and is buried in the Lewisburg Cemetery along with his wife and several of his children.
