This example of a Stockton family tree is very tentative. I have not done a lot of research on this family and expect to be making additions and corrections over time. My purpose in compiling this tree is to show how the family of Richard and Annis Stockton of Princeton, featured in my article “Aristocratical Stocktons,” connected with the rest of the Stockton family. I have underlined the names of those mentioned in that article.
The tree begins with the immigrant Stockton, Richard, and his wife Abigail Hunt, who was born in Flushing, Queens. Their son Richard was the first to settle in Princeton, NJ.

Hi Marfy,
The Stocktons are an interesting family. I’ve been wondering for years where a defender of the Alamo fit into their tree.
Listed as dying at the Alamo (early March, 1836) is young Richard L. Stockton, of New Jersey. His birth year is listed as 1817. I haven’t seen anything else about him.
Ideas?
Keep up the good work!
Jay

Jay, I am so glad you asked this question. A search on Ancestry.com turned up Richard Lucius Stockton, born Nov. 8, 1817 to William Tennent Stockton and Ann Williamson, making him the grandson of Rev. Philip Stockton (1746-1792) and Catharine Cumming (1748- ), who did make it into the tree. Richard L. Stockton died on March 6, 1836 at the Alamo, and was buried near there. He can be found on Find-a-Grave.

For some reason I am having trouble printing your email and Stockton family tree. Seems image doesn’t fit on 8-1/2 x 11 paper. Very strange. Do I need to change a setting to print your email and attachment?

For the email, I suggest copying it and pasting it into a Word document, from which it ought to print without a problem. As for the tree, I can’t explain why I get a blank page when I click control-space for print. Pretty weird. I suppose the copy-paste technique will have to do there too. I’ll check with my webmaster to see if he has any ideas.

Follow through on printing: Because there is such a variety of printers, and the internet complicates everything, it’s probably best to stick with the copy and paste approach. My Web guy had no trouble printing the tree, and he did it from his iPhone. Go figure.
