Re: Samuel Stilwell (1763-1848)

I know that Ray. However, His body was moved in 1880's by NYC as the property was purchased by the city. The wealth that Samuel had made in Real Estate forced his removal and John Stillwell never found where he moved. I will be sending you and update and pictures of the plots we visited. We visited Slyvanus's plot. Pictures have not come back from that plot. We saw 7 plots and it took 4 hours to find them.
Anyway The plot 3996 has Silas Moore Stilwell who died in 1881. His wife Caroline is not in the plot. A Louisa C. Stilwell who died in 1865 is. I suspect this is a child unrecorded by John. The plot is the Norsworthy's. no e before the w as John writes. There is one large mausoleum on the plot with the word Norsworthy. However, my picture does not show the word. I was so shocked that there was no stones of Stilwell's that I did not spend many pictures there. To add to the confusion I have letters from Silas to Richard in 1877 saying that he and Lilie did such and such. I assume Lilie is Caroline Norsworty his wife.

Take care and thanks for your help.PS - I have scanned in all of the "Rise and Progress of the Methodist Society." from the Friendly Visitor of 1825. Also, I have memoirs of Frida Kondrup sister to William Moore Stilwell's wife M. Kondrup. Do you want a copy?
