Notes:

"The Signer"

Per Jerry Stockton:

John Stockton was a signer of the Albemarle Declaration of Independence.

Note: "The first book that included information about the Davis Stockton family of Virginia was by Dr. Thomas Coates Stockton in 1911. In his book he shows the John Stockton who signed the Albemarle County, Virginia, Declaration of Independence as the son of Richard 2 (Davis 1) Stockton. This was thought to be correct until about the 1960's. At that time several researches came to the correct conclusion that all of Richard 2 Stockton's children had moved to the southern Virginia counties of Henry, Pittsylvania and Franklin before the 21 April 1779 signing of the Albemarle County document.""Only the family of Thomas 2 (Davis 1) Stockton still live in Albemarle County in the late 1770's. The book Davis Stockton of Virginia, 1972, credits John 3 (Thomas 2, Davis 1) Stockton as being "The Signer." This appears correct to me and I do not know of anyone who debates this point."

Albemarle Co., VA Deed Book 9, pg 57; 10 March 1785; Thomas and Fannie Stocton to John Stockton 148 acres on Stockton's Creek, fork of Mechums River and Virgin Creek for 160 pounds current money of Virginia; signed and sealed by Thomas Stockton only.
