Israel Farnsworth Stockton came from an historically distinguished family. He was the 5th of 7 children born to Richard Stockton and Sarah Stockton (they were 2nd cousins and thus Sarah's maiden name was also Stockton).
Richard Stockton was the son of Joseph Stockton (1710-1741) and Mary Farnsworth; Sarah Stockton was the daughter of Joseph Stockton (1697-1770) and Elizabeth Doughty. These two Joseph Stockton's were first cousins. Sarah's first cousin was a signer of the Declaration of Independence (source: Ancestry.com message board posting).
Israel's brothers and sisters were: Joseph (b. 1760); Mercy (b. 1772); Ann (b. 1773); Elizabeth (b. 1776); George Washington (b. 1781); Job (b. 1783); and Doughty (b. 1785.)
Israel married Sarah Hall "Sally" Lord on 29 Jun 1806 in New Berlin, Chenango County, New York. They had the following children:
Mary Ann, William Lord, Lydia, Benjamin, Sarah ("Sally"), James Brown, Edwin, Amanda, and Nancy.
Following the emigration urge so many had, Israel began his trek west from New York to Ohio and then to Indiana and in 1841 he, with sons Edwin and James, arrived in Henderson County, Illinois.
He lived to the ripe old age of 80; it is not surprising that the cause of death was found to be "Old Age"!
