Stoutenburgh-Teller

Some of you may have been wondering when (or even if) we were ever going to get around to the Teller side of the family history here–being, after all, the Stoutenburgh-TELLER Family Association website. Our apologies for that. There is, quite frankly, a serious gap in our knowledge of the early Teller family history. We would much appreciate the addition of any information and resources that you may be aware of out there, so feel free to comment here and let us know. (more…)

Here’s another of those articles from the Stoutenburgh-Teller Family Association’s annual newsletter. This one is by by Ila Stoutenburgh-Malloy and was published in the August 15, 2002 newsletter. It relates to the Revolutionary War and some cannon balls kept as trophies. Apparently they used to sit on the fireplace mantel in the Stoutenburgh home, but I don’t have any pictures of that. If anyone out there does and would be willing to share it, please let us know. (more…)

For those of you who were not aware of it, The Stoutenburgh-Teller Family Association publishes an annual newsletter for its members and has been doing so for some years now.

With Ila’s recent trip back to New York to visit the Stoutenburgh house as well as Hyde Park and the cemetery, we now have a wealth of photos and historical information to share with you.

The historical and background information requires various permissions for use…etc., etc., etc. (more…)

With special thanks to Mrs. James Spratt for sending us the photos, we’ve now been able to add a Founding Family page to our photo album. She sent photos of the portraits of Jacobus Stoutenburgh and Margaret Teller. As you may have already noticed, they’ve also been added to the background of the site. Please keep in mind that it’s only through this kind of sharing of information, photos, documents, etc. that we can continue to expand this site as a true historical resource.
