Margaret Scypeart was born June 22, 1716, in Germany, the daughter of Larrance Scypeart and Margaret (last name unknown).
The Scypeart family immigrated to America about 1725 to 1735. They settled in Pennsylvania.
We do not know if Larrance and Margaret were Quakers, but from Quaker records, we know that their daughter Margaret became a Quaker.
Margaret married Peter Stout on June 12, 1739, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Peter Stout was a Quaker. He was born April 14, 1715, in Newcastle County, Delaware, the son of Samuel Stout and Margaret (last name unknown).
