He returned to the United States in 1851, and again located at New Orleans, pursuing his trade, that of blacksmith and machinist, until 1852, when he located at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1856 he removed to Evans City, Butler County, and engaged in farming in Adams township, and also owned a farm in Jackson township. In 1864 Mr. Stokey became proprietor of a hotel in Evans City, which he conducted until 1868, when he resumed farming in Jackson township.
