Mr. George Stillman (b.ca1654-1728) was probably born at Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire, England. Previous research indicates that Mr. George Stillman was a descendant of the Styleman family of Steeple Ashton. He emigrated to the colonies and settled first at Hadley, Mass. in 1690 or earlier. He was a widower and left sons George and Samuel in England. His first wife (1) Lady Jane Pickering died at sea. He married (2) Rebecca Smith, at Hadley. They moved to Wethersfield, Connecticut at the time of King Phillip's War. He established his son John in his mercantile business, gave Benjamin a Yale education, gave Nathaniel a homestead and helped his daughters. His eldest son George received 100 pounds plus previous gifts. Dr. George Stillman (1679-1760) was born in England and was trained a tailor. But he also studied medicine and became a doctor. He married Deborah Crandall at Westerly, Rhode Island in 1706. Several generations of descendants are given.
