Richard C. Stockton of New Orleans, who was born about 1804, appears to have been Copeland Stockton, the son of Richard and Elizabeth (nee Copeland) Stockton, Jr., of Franklin County, Virginia. Copeland Stockton was the grandson of Richard and Agnes Stockton, Sr., and the great-grandson of Davis Stockton of Albemarle County, Virginia. In the 1810 census, Franklin County, Virginia, the Richard Stockton family includes two males born between 1800 and 1810. It appears that these two boys were Preston and Copeland Stockton. In the 1819 will of Richard Stockton, Jr., he mentions his son Copeland Stockton. I have not found Copeland Stockton on any census records, deed records or court records after 1819.
In the 1830's a Richard C. Stockton appears in New Orleans. The 1850 census shows him to be a Lawyer, who was 46 years old and born in Virginia. With Richard Stockton in the 1850 census is his wife Clara Stockton, age 27 and his two young sons, Octave, age 8, and Richard, age 2. Also living with Richard is his sister-in-law, Olivia Fontenot, age 28. It is not known when Richard Stockton died, but Clara Stockton, as head of household, and her family can be found living in Hancock County, Mississippi in 1870. One of Richard's sons, Joseph Paul Stockton, in 1891 named a son Milton Antoine Copeland Stockton.
I will e-mail you the names and contact information for some of the descendents of Richard and Clara Stockton. They might have some information about your ancestor, George Medart, and will definitely have additional information about Richard Stockton.
