Than you for your help, and you sharing the article. It was a most interesting to read. I hope someday, to break through this part of the tree and work back. Who knows, maybe we will find out we could be related after all.

I wonder if you've seen this interesting file, which indicates your John Stilwell was a blacksmith in Stanton?

http://deltrac.com/archaeology/sr7/pdf/series110/series110_h...

Otherwise, I have no info on this family. It is interesting though that I have an ancestor John Stilwell w/ son Jacob from Penn, about a generation earlier.

Do you have information on Allen Stillwell (1809-1880), specifically his parents? Some accounts have him born in North Carolina, others, South Carolina.
I am a descendant of his son, G. W. Stillwell (born 1845, Georgia), and my family lives in Phenix City, Alabama. Thanks.

I have a family information from a bible that was given to me. On this tree lists a John Stilwell and Sarah. They had 6 children. One of which is my ancestor Jacob,who also happens to be a twin,both born in 1821. The oldest is Elizabeth born in 1813. I've been searching everywhere to find John Stilwells family and his parents but with NO luck. Does anyone out there have any information they can share? John was according to a 1850 census,from Pa. The family lived in Mill Creek Hundred,New Castle,Delaware.

Re: Stillwell of NC origins

usw1 — 2009-06-03 18:16:52Z

I wondered whether this was a distinctly different line or somehow tied to the NJ Stillwells. Thanks for the clarification.

I can document back to David D Whitener marrying Sarah Stillwell on 24 Dec 1829 in Catawba County. They move to Whitfield County, GA just before the War. He dies there in 1863 and she moves to Bell County, TX, where she dies in 1887.

Many researchers have her linked to John Stillwell, but that's too generic and I can't find any documentation to support it.

Thanks,

Hi Laverna...

Thank you for your offer but I have found all of the information I was seeking.

John Thomas Stillwell (b.10/9/1890) was my grandmother's second spouse; they lived in Vina where he owned & operated an auto repair garage. This John Thomas (Grandpa Tom, as we knew him) was Stephen A.'s brother which would make him your husband's granduncle.

Allen Stillwell (b. abt 1802, NC>GA>AL)

CharlotteAla59 — 2008-11-13 15:04:39Z

I would very much like to share information with anyone researching the Allen Stillwell family of Georgia and Alabama, and in particular anyone who might have any information whatsoever on Allen's son, William Stillwell (sometimes shown as William McDonald Stillwell).

Allen was born in North Carolina about 1802. He married Rachel Jemmerson on September 12, 1825 in Upson County Georgia. They were the parents of:

1. Andrew J. Stillwell (born about 1838 in Georgia)
2. John A. Stillwell (born May 11, 1840 in Upson County, Georgia, died May 21, 1914 in Randolph County, Alabama; married Jane Smith with whom he had children, then Fannie Breed)
3. George W. Stillwell (born about 1842 in Georgia)
4. William Stillwell (born about 1845 in Georgia, married S. Elizabeth ? prior to 1880, who I believe to be Elizabeth Wade)
5. Younger J. Stillwell (born about 1847 in Georgia)

Allen's son, William, is living with his wife, S. Elizabeth, near Allen in the 1880 census of Blount County, Alabama. I believe this William and Elizabeth Stillwell were the parents of:

1. Henry S. Stillwell (born June 11, 1882 in Alabama, died August 22, 1945 in Roanoke, Randolph County, Alabama; married Lula Thomas), and
2. Willie Stillwell (born October 1884; she married Buster Rice).

Henry Stillwell and Lula (Thomas) Stillwell were my grandparents. We know that Henry's parents names were William and Elizabeth (Wade) Stillwell, and that Henry's father, William, died between 1884 and 1887. I have reason to believe that Allen Stillwell's son William is Henry's father.

I would appreciate any information at all anyone can share on this family, and will gladly share the information I have.

[Census locations for this family: Allen's family was in Upson County, GA for the 1840 and 1850 census; Russell County, Alabama for the 1860 and 1870 census; and Blount County, Alabama for the 1880 census, at which time William and his wife were living near him. Allen's son John was in Harris County, Georgia in 1870, at which time William was living in his household, and John was in Randolph County, Alabama, for the 1880 census.]

Re: Stillwell in Alabama and Georgia

CharlotteAla59 — 2008-11-13 14:57:57Z

I believe your John Stillwell (son of Allen Stillwell) was the brother of William Stillwell who married Elizabeth Wade. William Stillwell and Elizabeth (Wade) Stillwell were my great-grandparents. Their son, Henry Stillwell (born 1882 in Alabama, died 1945 in Roanoke, Randolph County, Alabama), who married Lula Thomas, were my grandparents. I would love to share information on this family.

KILLS SWEETHEART, COMMITS SUICIDE

Middle-Aged Farmer's Infatuation For Girl Leads To Double Tragedy

Stillwell, Okla., May 18-(Special)-

After he shot and killed 16-year-old Pearl Standwich,
Jack Stillwell, aged about 40 years, a farmer,
residing two miles southeast of Stillwell, Okla.,
committed suicide by slashing his throat with a
razor late Monday.

The double tragedy was enacted at the home of W.E. Scraper,
a farmer, at whose home the girl resided. Stillwell
was a widower and, according to persons who tesitified
before the coroner's jury, he was in love with the
girl, who was seperated from her husband and who
intended suing for divorce.

Stillwell shot the girl in the back with a shotgun,
killing her instantly. He then slashed his throat with
a razor, bleeding to death before medical assistance
arrived. Stillwell fell across the girl's body. The
girl resided in Crawford county, Ark., until recently.

Our family has stilwell roots in NC. I am looking for the family of an Elizabeth Stilwell who married a Peter Taylor around 1835 and lived in the 1840 census in the area of North Carolina called Burke County on the south side of the Catawba River and west side of the north fork. Peter and Elizabeth (Stilwell) Taylor are burried in the old Hildebrand Cemetery.

I know your post is very old but I have a dead end. My gr-gr-gr-grandmother was Martha Stillwell, born in NJ 1805 ( I suspect she was from the New Brunswick area). She married Cornelius Vanderbilt born in NJ 1803. Does any of this sound familiar to you? I am unable to find parents of either Martha or Cornelius.

The S stands for Stillwell, I think her mother's maiden name might have been Stillwell.

Martha S. Cooper born abt. 1805 NJ

jerseyfolks8 — 2009-03-04 17:20:15Z

Looking for anyone that might know of the Martha S. Cooper born about 1805 in NJ died about 1883 in Brooklyn NY.

I have found I have made a mistake....Cornelius Vanderbilt was married to Martha Stillwell Cooper born abt. 1805 in NJ.

Martha Stillwell marriage to Cornelius Vanderbilt NJ

jerseyfolks8 — 2009-02-13 20:53:39Z

Looking for anyone that might have information on a Cornelius Vanderbilt/Vanderbelt B:1803 in NJ, who married Martha Stillwell B:1805 in NJ. The marriage I believe took place in NJ. Children are Louisa, Ezekiel, Emma, Cornelius, Electa, Martha - there may be older children I did not find in the census. Last four children are born in NYC. Family will settle in Greenpoint Brooklyn area. Do these names sound familiar to anyone?
