Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 6th ed., 1887, Shelby Co. W. W. STOUT was born in Shelby County, Ky., in 1842, a son of D. P. Stout, of Shelby County, whose ancestors moved from New Jersey to Virginia and thence to Kentucky. D. P. was born in June, 1814, and died in 1875, at Bloomfield, Nelson County. He was a farmer by occupation, and was a member of the Legislature from Nelson County. In religion he was a Baptist. The mother of our subject was Mary A. Shindler; she was born in 1815, and is still living, a member of the Baptist Church. The Shindlers are an old family in the State, and probably came from Pennsylvania. Our subject is the eldest of four children, and the only one now living. He has followed farming and stock raising all his life, and is extensively engaged in buying and shipping stock. He owns 700 acres on the Louisville Van Dyke Mill Pike. He is a member of the Baptist Church. The mother of all the Stouts was a native of Amsterdam, Holland, so says Benedict's History of the Baptist denomination. She was here when the Indians were in the country, and was held captive by them for many years, and at one time nearly died of starvation. She was taken to a white man's cabin, and there afterward married. In 1883 our subject married Mrs. Keziah Van Dyke, widow of Elijah Van Dyke, and daughter of a Mr. McCallister. She was born in Henry County in 1841, and died July 8, 1885, a member of the Baptist Church. To them was born one child, who died in infancy.
