born in New Jersey in 1791, died at her late residence near Troy, Jan. 23,
1880, having reached the ripe age of 88 years and three months. She removed
with her parents and settled in Franklin, O., where she was married to Mr.
Elias Stillwell in 1819. Soon after they removed to Miami County and
settled on the old Stillwell farm, where she remained until her death. She
with her husband united with the Baptist Church in Staunton fifty-seven
