Research Notes

This is a NEW find, and I feel comfortable with the mother, Caroline, just can not find her marriage with maiden name...........

census with a Daniel Stillwell born 1819 Penn. [1] AND the 1860 census has a Caroline Stillwell, age 76 born New Jersey

TIMELINE:

1. 1816- born in New Jersey, county unknown.
2. 1834-38 married in Pennsylvania
3. 1838 first child born
4. 1870s Eliza left Pennsylvania and moved in with her daughter Mary/her husband Russel Puntenney and she passed away there.

Parents: maybe Stillwell-502

Father STILLWELL

Mother ?

Eliza's parents STILL REMAIN questionable... any help here would be a great lift over this 20+ year brick wall --Thank you

Added a possible, ?? what? FATHER? son? OR BROTHER? Eliza born 1816.. Timothy Stillwell b:1793 New Jersey, son of Elizabeth Stillwell born 1773 and living next door to him on the 1850 census PA.

this Stillwell family lived 27.2 miles from Simeon/Eliza Hathaway, so in the area.

SO what you are saying is: Timothy could be this Eliza's FATHER, and the Elizabeth born 1773 is his MOTHER.............

HOWEVER, the 1850 census Timothy has a daughter Elizabeth born 1849 so don't think they would name a 2nd daughter the same name......................
