Biography

Ann / Anne Stillwell was born 1643 in New Amsterdam; she was the eldest daughter of Nicholas Stillwell who came from Birmingham England to Kings County, New Amsterdam. In 1644 he bought for his home 144 acres the site of Perrin House, Staten Island. The Brittain lands lay in what is known as Dongan Hills between Liberty and Jefferson Avenues, and the Stillwell lands lay to the east. (Miller and Pursel Families A1 #5, 1939, compiled by Vida Mill-Pursel)

Anne Stillwell may have ben born about 1635-40, probably in Virginia, where her father was sojourning at this date. Her childhood was largely spent in Gravesend, Long Island, where she became the wife of Nathaniel Britton, a dry goods merchant, who sold his stores in all the villages on the west end of the Island, and who joined farming and occasionally tapping, to his other industries. [Britton Genealogy p. 4]

Died 1709 Staten Island, Richmond, New York [citation needed]
