    "William Stockton to Peter B. Porter, December 8, 1828, (ISL:Tipton Papers)
    Clinton, Vermillion County, Indiana; Sir, As a citizen of Indiana I presume
    you will not take it amiss in me representing to you the conduct of John
    Tipton, Indian Agent, late of Fort Wayne, when the agency was removed from
    Fort Wayne it was thought that it would throw into circulation a considerable
    Share of the money paid out to Indians and thereby benefit the inhabitants of
    the upper Wabash Settlements, but the fact is there is a complete monopoly
    amongst a few of Tiptons creatures. I deem all important that his conduct
    should be thoroughly investigated on the following points. First in paying the
    Indians their annuities in collecting all the five frank pieces and paying
    them to the Indians for dollars thereby making a specualtion of $1000 for
    every $1600 paid out and likewise for allowing from 50 to 57 per cent to two
    Merchants in Terre-Haute on the Louisville prices when they could have been
    bought much lower; if you should require any evidence on the subject I will
    refer you to Zachariah Shecott, Esquire Kelso, and Doctor John Durkee and B.
    Kirchevall Sub agent and William Suttonfield living at the agency, the others
    at or near the twon of Lafayette on the Wawbash, also to Chancy Rose John &
    Wm. S. Craft and John D. Eearley Merchants of Terre Haute. Very respectfully
    Yr ob. Serv. (signed) Wm. Stockton.  Honble Peter B. Porter, Department of
    War, Washington City. (Enclosed in:) Thomas L. McKenney to Tipton, January 28,
    1829.

     the stages coaches.  He kept 6 horses for the use of the coach line.  Often
     during severe weather, passengers and driver would remain at his inn several
     days at a time, before proceeding on their way."

    Ross Co., OH in 1820 and 1830. Neither were found in OH in 1840 or 1850. There
    were at least 7 compiled service records for the War of 1812 relating to the
    service of a William Stockton from OH. One of the 7 was for a private in the
    1st Reg, OH Militia, commanded by Col. MacDonald. This was the same unit cited
    for his brother Thomas. These are the only 2 Stockton entries for this
    regiment. The author concluded that the 2 brothers served together.  William
