Note. — Chester F. Bouton, Mrs. Lvdia C. Barney, Eras- tus Bouton, Emma W. Fancher and Mrs. Melissa L. Nash, were principal contributors of this branch. SHUBAEL BOUTON AND DESCENDANTS. 4,950 i. Shubael Bouton's name is found on the St. John Church Records, of Stamford, as having been bap- tized at Norwalk, Ct., June 2, 1749, where it is also stated that he was the son of John and Sarah Bouton. Whether he was a grandson or great grandson of John Bouton, the emigrant from Europe, is not quite satisfactorily settled with the compiler of this history, but no doubt is felt by him that said Shubael Bouton was a lineal descendant of said John Bouton, Sr. The record as furnished by his descend- ants for this work, states that he was born in Con- necticut, December 29, 1740. When he was young he removed into Dutchess county. New York state. He was by trade a weaver, BouTON-BouGHTON Pamilf. 535 but possessed an ambition to be a farmer. He moved again and settled at Rensselaerville, Albany county, N. Y., 1795, where he took up land and cleared and improved it for a home; working on the land by day and at the loom at night. Among his townsmen and neighbors he was regarded as a most earnest and consistent Christian, of the Quaker sect; or, as they styled themselves, Friends. He married, probably before leaving Connecticut, about 1766, Mary Hodge, b. Oct. 15, 1747. She died at Rensselaerville, Nov. 15, 1817. Some accounts say he married a Seymour; he may have had two wives. Children of Shabael and Mary Hodgre Bonton, of Stephen- town, N. Y. 4950 4.951 i. Ira Bouton, b. Stephen town, N.
