Joseph Stout and Anna Smith Stout were cousins according to Hosea Stout's autobiography:
In Autobiography of Hosea Stout, 1810 to 1835, Edited by Reed A. Stout.
Hosea wrote: "My grandfather, who was a Quaker, resided in North Carolina, Oxford County, where also my father was born (25 June 1773), and raised until he was about sixteen or seventeen years of age. About that time my grandfather, after losing nearly all his property by law suits, and family removed to East Tennessee, where they lived until my father was about twenty-five years of age. My father then went back to North Carolina to the house of my grandmother, who was a widow, by the name of Pleasant Smith, who was also a Quaker. She was an aunt to my father that it is his mother's sister. She had five daughters and two sons.
My father stayed there one summer and raised a crop with them and in the fall he was married (3 November 1798) to her daughter Anna.
Now the widow was not well pleased with them, for they ran away and was married contrary to the rules of their society, which thing is esteemed a sin among the Quakers, and will excommunicate one from their society if they do not make satisfaction. Nor could they do any other way for my father had been previously cut off from their Church for enlisting in the army. However they came home again and was received by my grandmother."
From the diary of Allen Joseph Stout:
I, [Allen Joseph Stout], The son of Joseph Stout, the son of Samuel Stout, the son of Peter Stout, was born in the county of Mercer and state of Kentucky, on the 5th day of December, A.D. 1815. My mother's name was Anna, the daughter of Daniel and Pleasant Smith. My grandmother Stout's name was Rachel Chauncey before she was married.
My father, being a poor man, maintained his family by tending a gristmill. In the fall of 1819 he removed to Clinton County, Ohio, and there maintained his family partly by farming and partly by days work. In the summer of 1823, my father sent me to Rebecca Stout, a cousin of mine, 20 days. This, with the former exertions of my mother, enabl to begin to read. In the summer of 1823, my youngest sister Elizabeth Mahala died of the measles; I also had the same complaint, and about the same year I had the French measles of chicken pox, and the mumps, and now whooping cough.
On the 29th day of July, 1824, my mother died of the consumption after a long confinement and much suffering. She left a family of eight children whose names were: Rebecca, Sarah, Mary, Margaret, Anna, Hosea, Allen J. and Lydia R.
