Samuel STILLMAN also settled here in 1805, and Dewey MAINE, about that
year. Samuel STILLMAN was born in Farmington, Conn., Feb. 5, 1747, and came
here from Berlin, Rensselaer county, the same year, but a little earlier
than Daniel STILLMAN. He settled a mile north of BURDICK Settlement, on
what was long known as Stillman Street, where his great-grandson, George R.
STILLMAN, now lives, a portion of the farm being now owned by Cornelius
STEELE. He took up 50 acres, on which he died in October 1834, also his
wife, Lydia (DAVIS), who was born Oct. 21, 1749, and died April 18, 1828.
They had eight sons and two daughters. Seven of the sons and one daughter
settled on what was known as Stillman Street, extending from BURDICK
Settlement north to the county line. The children were Davis, Jared, Samuel
Jr., Thomas, Elisha, Maxson, Joseph, William, Prudence, Hannah, many of whom
had reached maturity when they came here. Very few of this once numerous
family are left here. Benjamin STILLMAN, son of William, is living in
BURDICK Settlement.
