Nicholas Stillwell, progenitor of Stillwell families in the United States, was an established tobacco planter in Virginia in 1639, when he served as an evaluator of tobacco quality. Arriving in Virginia about 1634-35, he left Virginia for New Amsterdam, New York, in 1645-46, and in 1648 purchased property in Gravesend, Long Island. He was active in community affairs, bought and sold property, served as town magistrate, was a skilled military leader holding the commission of Lieutenant, and was elected constable of Staten Island in 1667. His relationship to the Stilwell families of Surrey, England is unclear, but one tradition asserts that he is somehow connected with the Stilwells who lived in the vicinity of the town of Dorking. One conjectured ancestry asserts that Nicholas’ father also was named Nicholas, born about 1570, son of John Stilwell Jr., born about 1539, son of John Stilwell Sr., born about 1515. This family is associated with a house and connected lands variously called Collampore, Collickmore, and Colletmore. We believe that Harry Mote Stillwell is descended from the Elias Stillwell who left New Jersey to emigrate to Ohio about 1818 with his son Joseph and his wife Sarah, and an unmarried son Daniel, born about 1795. They settled in Staunton Township, Miami County, Ohio, near the town of Troy. Harry’s grandfather, Daniel Stillwell, lived in Staunton Township in 1850 with his wife Beulah Ann and children, including William Henry, Harry’s father. Sometime between the census count of 1850 and the time of his death in Nov 1852, he and his family moved west to Darke County, Ohio, near the town of Greenville. His son, William Henry Stillwell, married Phebe Hiller. They and their children moved to Missouri, where Phebe died. William Henry next married Mary Sewart, and they eventually found their way to Cushing, Oklahoma. Harry, son of William Henry and Phebe, was born in Missouri and came to Oklahoma with his father and new wife. Harry and Lucinda Smith were married on 4 Mar 1900 in Cushing. We have a high degree of confidence in records about William Henry and his family. We are certain that Daniel and Beulah Ann were William Henry’s parents, but we know nothing of Beulah Ann’s ancestry, and there are still gaps to be bridged in tracing the ancestry of Daniel. Lucinda Smith’s ancestry goes back to Mumford Smith, born in 1748 in Virginia, or perhaps in Tennessee. Through Mumford’s wife Catherine Armstrong, Lucinda’s most extensive ancestry is traced back to Robert Armstrong, born about 1680 in Ulster Province, Northern Ireland. She also is descended from the Robert Tate family and the John Hunter family. Her grandparents, Owen Dunn Tate and his wife Rebecca (Steele) Tate were first cousins. Harry and Lucinda had ten children. One died shortly after birth, another never married, and another married but had no children. All of the other seven had families of their own, with a total of 21 children. Forrest Ladd, Jr., son of Bonnie (Stillwell) Ladd, is one of that number. We use the Stillwell spelling more than the Stilwell spelling, not because it is more “correct” but because American usage has generally favored the “ll” spelling. Also, Harry used it and consistency eases issues involved in searches. Nevertheless, we have tried to honor those who have consistently used the single-l spelling. The word Unknown appears in Death and Burial notes. In most cases that means that the date is unknown. The word Private indicates protected information about a living person. Family members can contact us for the protected information.

CRAY Abstract: Little known today, the Reverend Thomas Goss (1716–1780) attained notoriety in the late eighteenth century when his parishioners’ efforts to oust him because of alleged intoxication ignited a showdown over clerical authority in the Congregational Church. At stake was the historical identity of the church. Established in the early seventeenth century as a lay-led gathering of churches, the Congregational Church by the eighteenth century was subjected to both the upheavals of the Great Awakening and a countereffort by a professionally centered ministry to create a more centralized governance structure and to increase ministerial prerogatives and overall denominational authority.

Matted, hinged at upper edge. Printed in three full columns. A few old folds, Very Good. The Convention met in Bangor on July 9, 1828. After endorsing candidates for various State offices, the Convention issued and printed its 'Address... to the Electors of the Counties of Somerset and Penobscot', focusing on the upcoming presidential contest. Praising the incumbent, John Quincy Adams, the Address proclaims, "It is sufficient to say of him, that talents of the highest order are joined to uncommon attainments... We would ask you to turn from the rantings of demagogues, the bold fictions of an irresponsible press... Is not our country moving on peacefully and prosperously in the great march of improvement?" Adams's opponent, General Jackson, is unsuited for the presidency: "His character has been formed as a military chieftain...

  • The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776
    The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776 BY FREDERICK LEWIS WEIS EDITOR'S NOTE NE of the most useful tools in the chest of the bibliog- O rapher, historian, and librarian is the series of little volumes by Dr. Weis on the colonial clergy. The gap in this series, the volume on the clergy of the Middle Colonies, was proving such a great hindrance to our revision of Evans' American Bibliography, that we have decided to print this volume for our own use, and to publish it in order to share it with others. The first volume of this series. The Colonial Clergy and the Colonial Churches of New England (Lancaster, 1936), is out of print. The Colonial Clergy of Maryland, Delaware, and Georgia (Lancaster, 1950), and The Colonial Clergy of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina (Boston, 1955) may be obtained of the author (at Dublin, New Hampshire) for $3 a volume. The institutional data which is provided at the end of the New England volume is for the other colonies issued in a separate volume.

  • Samuel Cooper's Old Sermons and New Enemies: Popery And
    Note: I provide this essay only as background. My panel talk will summarize Protestant Constitutionalism more generally and also argue for its contemporary relevance. Please contact me with questions: [email protected] Samuel Cooper’s Old Sermons and New Enemies: Popery and Protestant Constitutionalism GLENN A. MOOTS ABSTRACT This article reinterprets the role of Protestantism in the American Revolution by examining the unpublished sermon manuscripts of Boston Congregationalist minister Samuel Cooper. Even as late as 1775, Protestant ministers like Cooper identified Protestantism withlibertyandRomanCatholicismwithtyranny.Butthesesameministerseagerlyallied with Catholic France against Protestant Britain in the Revolution. Cooper even redeployed colonial war sermons against his new British foes in the Revolution. The shifting loyalty of ministers like Cooper cannot be explained by mere expediency or secularization of the political elite. Rather, the explanation lies in the evolving nature of transatlantic Protestant constitutionalism—the ongoing association of Protestantism with liberty and the rule of law—over 2 centuries. On March 15, 1775, off-duty British soldiers and Loyalists held a mock town meeting outside the British Coffee House in Boston. They played their opponents to type and concluded with a costumed mock oration performed by Loyalist surgeon Dr. Thomas Bolton. Publication of Bolton’s oration followed, probably printed by a Loyalist printer outside of Boston. Not coincidentally, March 15 also saw the publication of an oration delivered just 9 days earlier— that year’s official annual oration commemorating the Boston Massacre delivered by Dr. Joseph Warren (Akers 1976, 23–25). The roster of commemorative orators since 1771 was a “who’s who” of Patriot leaders: John Hancock, Glenn A.

Inscribing her thoughts in a private devotional journal, Prout acknowledged that her own iniquities had provoked God to chasten her family, and she “begg’d” him to “discover to me wherefore he was so terrible angry with me in taking away all my Children at once.” At the same time, however, she en- visioned her deceased son assuring her that he and his sister This essay began as a conference paper I presented to the American Studies Pro- gram at Indiana University (1996) and subsequently at the twelfth annual meeting of the Mid-America American Studies Association (1996), the annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion (1999), the Young Scholars in American Religion Pro- gram at Indiana University–Purdue University at Indianapolis (2003), the Fall Line Early Americanists reading group (2006), the twelfth annual conference of the Omo- hundro Institute of Early American History and Culture (2008), Hamilton College (2008), and the University of Connecticut Humanities Institute (2008).

The record of students, extended beyond the half-century limit to 1830, the date of the organization of the Teachers' Seminary (at the wish of Principal Bancroft, who was deeply interested in the work), was completed and stereotyped in 1892. Issued now for the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the Academy, sketches of all the Trustees, Principals and Assistant Instructors have been added, together with a list of the " Divinity Students" in Phillips Academy be- fore the founding of the Andover Theological Seminary. Grateful acknowledgment is made to librarians, college statisticians, public registrars and numerous other correspondents for courteous aid rendered during all these years.

BOSTON : DAVID CLAPP & SON, PRINTERS, 115 High Street, 1892. • » • ) 143314: Reprinted from the N.-E. Historical and Genealogical Register for Octo))er, 1892, with additions and corrections. THE PEMBERTON FAMILY. " Lower, in hia Patronymica Britannica," states that the family name of Pemberton is derived from the chapelry of that name in the parish of Wigan, in the hundred of West Derby, county of Lancas- ter, England. The name is common to that county, and the arms* shown beneath the portrait of the Rev. Ebenezer' Pemberton, as published in his collected works, in 1727, are those of a branch of the family in Lancashire, which was established in Cambridgeshire at Trumping- ton by Sir Francis Pembertonf in the last part of the seventeenth century. The family name can be found in Lancashire records as far back as 1300. The Pemberton family of Pennsylvania came from Lancashire. Phineas Pemberton, the son-in-law of James Harrison, agent of William Penn, was a grocer in Boulton-le-Moors, arriving in Amer- " ica in 1682 with his father Ralph Pemberton aged 73.""^ Ralph may have been the second son of Ralph and Frances Pemberton of St. Albans, parents of the future judge &c. Francis Pemberton be- fore mentioned. Francis and Ralph were cousins of the children of John Pemberton of London, who married at St. Thomas, London, 21 January, 1609, Catherine Angell. John and James Pemberton, of New England, may have been children of John and Catherine, though this cannot be positively stated on such scant evidence.
