| 86 | 26 Jan 1911: Postmaster Jacob F. Hickernell, of Schaefferstown, this county, was found dead in bed this morning at 6 o'clock, having died sometime during the night unknown to Mrs. Hickernell. He was aged 64 years. Mr. Hickernell, about eight years ago, suffered a stroke of paralysis, and the attack left him with a lame leg, but he was able to be about since that time and attend to his business interests. The malady also left a very weak heart, from which he suffered severely at times. Lately, however, he seemed to be in excellent health, and on Wednesday, there was nothing at all to alarm the family, as he was at his office as usual and seemed to be in the best of health and spirits. In this condition of health he retired at his wonted time on Wednesday evening. About midnight he complained to his wife that he felt cold, and she secured more bed cover and he then apparently went to sleep. This morning, Mrs. Hickernell awoke about 6 o'clock and receiving no response from her husband beside her, she tried to awaken him, only to find that he was dead. A physician hastily summoned expressed the opinion that he had been dead several hours. His heart weakness is said to have been hereditary, as his mother died some years ago in the same unexpected manner. Mr. Hickernell was born and reared in the locality where he spent most of his life and where he died. In his early years he attended the old academy at Schaefferstown, and then learned the cigar making trade. At a very early date thereafter, he became an apprentice in a store, and later kept a store at Brickerville. He remained there for some years and then returned to Schaefferstown to engage in the insurance business. About twenty-five years ago he assumed the foremanship at the Zerbe cigar factory and continued in that position until a year or two ago. Last June, C. K. Hetrick resigned the postman ship and Hickernell, after a civil service examination was appointed as his successor. He assumed charge of the office in July and was in the position at the time of his death, his youngest daughter, Miss Nora, being the assistant postmistress. Mr. Hickernell in his younger days was a musician of ability, and he was one of the organizers of the Schaefferstown Band. He was a member of the Lutheran church and was highly esteemed. In politics he was an ardent Republican and took an active part in all political campaigns in his district. He was well liked and as the foreman of a large number of cigar makers in the town, he welded much influence. His kindness of heart and other fine traits also added to his popularity and the entire town bemoans his loss. He was also well known in Lebanon and other parts of the county and the sympathy tendered the family extends over a wide territory. The deceased is survived by his wife, and seven children: Fred Z., of Schaefferstown; Charles T., a well known attorney in this city; Frank, of Schaefferstown; Misses Jennie and Annie, school teachers, of Newmanstown, and Miss Nora, at home. John Henry Hickernell, of Schaefferstown, is a brother, and Mrs. David Newman of Steelton, is a sister. News of the death of Mr. Hickernell was telephoned to Lebanon immediately, but the son, Attorney Hickernell, could not be located at his boarding house, and it was therefore left to his boyhood friend, Charles Zerbe, deputy county prothonotary, and he broke the news as gently as possible to the grief stricken lawyer. The latter left on a street car for Half Way, where he was met by a member of the family and was taken home. [Lebanon Semi-Weekly News] | Hickenell, Jacob F. (I119)

| 87 | 26 Jan 1920: Dr. Thomas T. Zerbe, a native and life-long resident of Schaefferstown, and one of the most prominent men of that region, died this morning at his home. He had been an invalid for six years, and his death came not unexpectedly as the natural consequence of a malady that long afflicted him. A stroke of paralysis is thought to have hastened the end. Dr. Zerbe was in the 74th year of his age. He was a son of Dr. Jonathan Zerbe, a pioneer practitioner of great repute In the Heidelberg region years ago. The son acquired a common schooling at Schaefferstown, and then went to Franklin and Marshall college, from which institution he matriculated to the Medical School of the University of Pennsylvania, of which he was a graduate. He entered upon the practice of medicine in his native town in 1869, and continued until his hearing failed some years ago. He won a widespread reputation throughout the southeastern end of the county as a doctor of unusual skill, and he was regarded by members of the profession as a specialist in fever cases. He was a Republican in politics, and at one time exerted considerable influence in the section of the county in which he lived. He served the county as a Representative to the General Assembly at two sessions of the Legislature. He took a deep interest in the municipal affairs of Schaefferstown, and manifested a great public spirit in all matters pertaining to the general welfare of his neighbors and the county at large. His wife, who was Emma Taylor, of Charming Forge. Berks Co., died some years ago. Ha leaves four children: William Taylor Zerbe, of Schaefferstown; Miss Florence Zerbe also of that place; Mabel, wife of Roy Evans, of Lebanon, and Mrs. Marie Winneshiek, of Altoona. Charles M. Zerbe. esq., of this city, is an only brother, the last surviving member of the family of Jonathan Zerbe. Frank B. Zerbe, one time prothonotary of the county, was a brother. He died several years ago. The deceased was a member of the Masonic fraternity. [Lebanon Semi-Weekly News] | Zerbe, Dr. Thomas Taylor (I116)

| 88 | 269 COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. Anthony Bierly, the father of our subject, was born August 26, 1807, at the old Bierly homestead, near Rebersburg, and after attending for a time the local schools, such as they were, he learned the cooper's trade, completing his apprenticeship under Robert Smith, of Penns Valley. He was married in Miles township. Centre county, to Miss Rachel Ruhl, a native of York county, Penn. , born in February, 1811 . Her father died when she was a child, and an uncle, John Ruhl, who died in Lock Haven, brought her to Brush Valley, where she grew to womanhood. Neither of the young couple had any assistance from home to give them a start in life, but Anthony Bierly made a comfortable living at his trade, which he followed during his active life. As his boys became old enough for work, he kept them busy upon a farm which he owned, but he did not devote his own time to it farther than to direct their labor. On retiring from business Anthony Bierly removed to Kreamerville to a comfortable residence built by our subject, who traded it as part payment on the home farm, agreeing as a further consideration to support his parents as long as they should live. The mother died October 21, 1886, and the father on July 2, 1890, both devout members of the Lutheran Church. He never acquired more than a fair competence, and was disinclined to contend for his rights, preferring to lose an account rather than sue any one. This peaceable disposition, together with his unshaken integrity, won him friends among all classes, and he was highly esteemed throughout the community. He was a Democrat in politics, and in early life voted regularly, but, as old age came on, his feeble health prevented him at times from getting to the polls. He had nine children, namely: Catherine, who married , first John W. Barker, and (second) Elijah Sharp, who died at Kreamerville ; Hannah, now the widow of Michael Krape, of Clintondale, Penn; Lydia now Mrs. Samuel Loose, of Rebersburg; Abigail, who married Frederick Hartman, and died in Clinton county, Penn.; Cornelius, a farmer and plasterer of Bradner, Ohio; Margaret, the widow of Gideon Kreamer of Brush Valley; R. D., our subject; Paulina now Mrs. Jacob Wolheiser, of Kreamerville; and Fauette now Mrs. David Meyer, of Miles township. R. D. Bierly's birth occurred February 3, 1844, in Miles township, Centre county, and he was educated in the common schools of that locality, improving his opportunities so well that before he was twenty-one he taught successfully at the Gramley school. He was reared to farm work, but, as he possessed unusual mechanical skill, he decided to learn the carpenter's trade, and after one summer at the work was as competent as most apprentices after a full term. For one year he was employed as a skilled workman, and then went into business on his own account, his reputation increasing with the progress of time until he holds to-day a foremost place among the workers in that line in his section. As a contractor he is noted for his honesty and fair dealing, and he has built many of the best residences in Centre county, including some of the most elegant homes in Millheim and Rebersburg. Other buildings which stand as evidences of his skill are the Lutheran churches at Millheim and Rebersburg, and the school houses there and in Coburn. Financially, he has prospered, and he owns two houses in Rebersburg, as well as 115 acres of timber land and forty acres of cleared land. His home in Rebersburg, built in 1897, is a model of tasteful architecture. In 1867 Mr. Bierly was married to Miss Pauline Frank, only daughter of Samuel and Saloma (Brungart) Frank. After his marriage, Mr. Bierly made his home in Kreamerville for some time before removing to Rebersburg. Seven children have blessed his marriage: Sally, the wife of Thomas Auman, of Rebersburg; Willis F. , residing at Rebersburg; Charles C. , a carpenter at Rebersburg; Melvin C. , who died June 10, 1882, at the age of four years ; and Curtis M. , Samuel A. and Raymond S., who are at home. As a citizen, Mr. Bierly 's influence is felt in every progressive movement as a helpful force. He and his wife are leading members of the Lutheran Church, in which he has held the office of deacon for many years; he is also identified with the Grange, being master for several years of Miles Grange. Politically he is e Democrat, but he is not at all bigoted, and when occasion seems to demand it he votes independently. He has never sought office, his attention being confined to other matters. | Bierly, Anthony (I574)

| 91 | 309 COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. GEORGE B. HAINES, a prosperous agriculturist residing in Rebersburg, Centre county, is one of the progressive men who, taking a broad and liberal view of life and its opportunities, avoid the dull routine into which too many dwellers in the rural neighborhoods fall. Fond of reading, he keeps well informed on the issues of the day, while the advantages of scientific knowledge are seen in his successful management of his estate. His family is of English origin, and for at least three generations his ancestors have been tanners by occupation. His great-grandfather, John Haines, was the first to come to America. The grandfather, John Haines, Jr., was in early manhood a resident of York county, Penn., but came to this section about 1816, locating at Aaronsburg, Centre county, where he followed his trade until his death. Jeremiah Haines, our subject's father, was born in Aaronsburg, about 1820, and was one of five children — two sons and three daughters — who lived to adult age. He was quite young when his father died, leaving but little means, and his early education was extremely limit- ed, a fact which, in view of his later success in lines requiring accurate knowledge of a kind not commonly possessed, indicates unusual mental power. He learned the tanner's trade near Woodward, and with a cash capital of $100 started a tannery in the eastern end of Brush Valley, where he remained until 1855, when he removed to Rebersburg and bought out a tannery owned by Henry Flickinger, and in connection with this business he followed farming on a small scale, as his purchase included sixteen acres of land. He was a shrewd financier, and as a business man was of more than ordinary ability. At the time of his death he owned 550 acres of land, which has been kept in the family. His extensive business required a knowledge of certain legal points, upon which he posted himself by reading. He was justice of the peace for twenty years, and was looked upon as a man of excellent judgment. His reading covered a wide range, and his library contained many valuable works on theology, in which he was well versed. For many years he held the office of elder and deacon in the Lutheran Church, and he always contributed toward the work of that organization. In politics he was a Democrat, but he did not seek official honors. Jeremiah Haines was twice married, first time to Susan Brungart, daughter of George and Salome (Kahl) Brungart, and two children were born to this union: Emma, now Mrs. Thomas E. Royer, of Miles township; and George B., our subject. The mother died in 1862, and the father married a second wife, Mrs. Sarah Heckman, nee Oswalt, widow of George Heckman. She was also taken from him by death, but left no children. Squire Haines was a man of ordinary build, but above the average height, and his health was uniformly good. His death occurred quite suddenly in April, 1893, his remains being buried in Rebersburg. He was fond of his home and was of a peaceful disposition, conceding to every man the right to an opinion, and if it happened to differ from his, he made no effort to change it by argument. Many of the noted men of Centre county were his personal friends, and a visit to Rebersburg by such men was also marked by a visit to "Squire" Haines. The subject of this sketch was born August 6, 1849, six miles east of Rebersburg, and first attended school in that town with Samuel Gramley as his teacher. As soon as he was old enough he began to learn the tanner's trade under his father, work of various kinds being assigned him, but his education was fair for his time, although it was obtained in the common schools of Miles township, and in the Rebersburg Normal School, which was then in existence, he was licensed to teach, but never taught. He lived at home with his parents until the time of his marriage, but never entirely completed the trade of a tanner, although he was sufficiently familiar with it to perform work in almost any department. In December, 1870, Mr. Haines was married in Miles township to Miss Emma J. Burkert, a native of Miles township, born August 10, 1852, a daughter of Jacob Burkert who is mentioned more fully below. Mrs. Haines is a lady of fine intellectual ability, and had a license as a teacher, although she never entered the profession. After his marriage, Mr. Haines located on his father's farm in Brush Valley, and followed agriculture for eighteen years; in the spring of 1888 he re- moved to Rebersburg, where he now occupies the old Burkert homestead, which he greatly improved, remodeling the house and erecting a new barn and other buildings. After the death of his father, he and his brother-in-law were ap- pointed executors to the estate. In addition to his pleasant home in Rebersburg he has 200 acres of farming land. Mr. Haines and his wife are leading members of the Lutheran Church, and he is a trustee of that society. Their children are a credit to them, all taking prominent places in social life: William B. is a farmer of Miles township. Charles M. (single) resides in Baltimore, Md. Elizabeth L. is at home. Melville C. , a licensed teacher, lives at home. Of these, William B. was married in 1890 to Lida J. Oakes, and they have one son, Harry O. , born in 1891. All the rest are single. Mr. Haines is a Democrat in politics, and, while not radical, is a stanch supporter of his party, and has held various offices in the township, his sound judgment and well-known public spirit making him a popular candidate. Jacob Burkert, the father of Mrs. Haines, was an excellent citizen, noted for his liberality and practical sagacity. He was a hatter by trade, and before coming to Brush Valley had lived in Berks county, Penn. Politically, he was a steadfast Republican, and he took a prominent part in local affairs, serving ten years as justice of the peace of Miles township. Centre county. He and his wife, Elizabeth Smull, died in Rebersburg, each being about seventy-two years old, and both sleep in the cemetery at that place. Mrs. Burkert was a devout member of the Reformed Church. Mr. and Mrs. Burkert had the following children: Cyrus J., a minister of the United Brethren Church, is presiding elder of the Dayton (Ohio) district; George was a soldier in the Civil war with the Bellefonte Invincibles, and died in camp at Carlisle, Penn. ; C. Milton, now of Germantown, Ohio, was formerly a railroad conductor on the Vandalia route; John C. , of Oskaloosa, Jefferson Co., Kans. , is probate judge of his county; Edwin is a physician at Dayton, Ohio; Clayton resides at Valley Falls, Kans.; Charles died in childhood; Elizabeth died in infancy; Effinger died at the age of fifteen years; and Emma J. (now Mrs. Haines) completes the family. | Haines, Jeremiah (I829)

| 93 | 326 COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. CHARLES BEIRLY, a prominent agriculturist of Brush Valley, residing near Rebersburg, is a man whose patriotism has been tried amid the hardships and exposures of the battlefield, the camp and the march, and survived the still more trying test of hospital life. At the age of twenty-two, in obedience to his country's call, he enlisted, August 22, 1862, at Rebersburg, in Company A, 148th P. V. I. After a short stay at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, for equipment and drill, the new recruits went to the front, their first experience in battle being at Chancellorsville. Mr. Beirly took part in the other engagements of his regiment until he was wounded in the evening of the second day at Gettysburg while he was crossing the stone fence. He was removed from the field in an ambulance, and spent nine months in a hospital in Philadelphia. Nothing daunted by this experience, he determined to remain in the service, but being incapacitated for active work in the field he was transferred to the Invalid Corps, and for some time was on guard duty in New York City. Later he was detailed for hospital work at Washington, and he did not leave the service until the war was ended, being mustered out June 26, 1865. Mr. Beirly is a member of a pioneer family of Brush Valley. The name is properly spelled Bierly, but at the time of his enlistment it was placed on the army rolls as Beirly, and he has since adhered to that form. He is a grandson of Anthony and Maria (Kratzer) Bierly, and a son of Melchoir Bierly, who was born in Miles township, July 20, 1815, and became a leading citizen there. At twelve years of age he began to learn the blacksmith's trade in his father's shop, and always followed that occupation. Melchoir Bierly was married December 3, 1836, in Miles township to Catharine Gephart, who was born in Berks county, Penn., November 1, 1811. Her parents, Daniel and Hannah Gephart, removed to Union county when Catharine was but a babe, and after nine years there they settled at Madisonburg, Centre county. Mr. Gephart followed the weaver's trade. Later they went to Seneca county, Ohio, and died there. Mrs. Bierly was the eldest of ten children — six sons and four daughters. Of the five children of this marriage, two lived to adult age: Charles; and Mary J., now the wife of William Brumgart, of Nittany Valley; three children — one daughter and two sons — died in childhood. Melchoir Bierly was a Republican and strongly loyal, being an ardent admirer of Lincoln and opposed to slavery. In local affairs he was influential but he never sought office. He was a large man, well built, a hard worker, and was nearly eighty years when he died, January 11, 1894. He had but fifty cents when he was married, and he fought his own fight, winning a comfortable competence. He and his wife both united with the Lutheran Church, and were always in sympathy with religious and philanthropic work. Mrs. Bierly still lives in Rebersburg, and is well preserved for one of her age. Since his father's death our subject has given his mother a good home, and has cared for her with filial devotion. Charles Beirly was born near Rebersburg, April 18, 1840, and attended the schools of his day at Rebersburg, John Burket being his first teacher. He had some difficulty in committing his lessons to memory, but was an apt scholar in some respects. He began to learn the blacksmith's trade when he was twelve years old, and when not in school he was to be found in his father's shop, where there was always plenty of business, several men being constantly employed. After his return from the army he resumed work at his trade. Mr. Beirly was first married September 10, 1865, in Brush Valley, to Miss Amelia Snook, the daughter of Levi and Margaret (Wolford) Snook. They began housekeeping in Rebersburg, and Mr. Beirly became a partner in his father's business, which they continued until they came to his present farm in 1874. He rented the place at first from his father, and in November, 1893, acquired the title. The farm contains 106 acres, and Mr. Beirly has erected every building on it except the residence and corn crib. He owns a home in Rebersburg and also has a small tract of mountain land. The children of the first marriage were: Margaret J., now Mrs. C. O. Mayer, of Selins Grove, Penn.; Warren M., of Franklin county, Penn. ; Alvin M., who died at the of age sixteen years; George A., who died in infancy; and Charles H., a farmer of Brush Valley. The mother, who was a devout Christian and a member of the Lutheran Church, died in November, 1874, and her remains now lie buried at Rebersburg. For his second wife, Mr. Beirly was married, March 12, 1876, to Miss Mary M. Moyer, born in Penn's Valley Penn township, Centre county, May 12, 1845, daughter of Elias and Susan (Young) Moyer, who removed to Boone county, Iowa, when she was ten years old. She was reared there, and taught a subscription school when but seventeen years old. Her father died there in 1864, and soon afterward she returned with some of her family to Pennsylvania, where she met Mr. Beirly. She was the eldest of nine children — six sons and three daughters — and is now the only one of this family left in Brush Valley and Penn's Valley. Two children were born of this marriage: Lowell S. and Orpha C, both at home. Politically, Mr. Beirly is a Republican, but while he is a stanch member of the party he is no office seeker. He and his wife are prominent members of the Lutheran Church, and he has held the office of deacon therein. Socially he belongs to W. W. Beirly Post, G. A. R., at Millheim, of which he was one of the organizers. A substantial, industrious and honest farmer, he is one of the best of citizens, and he is held in high esteem by all who know him. | Bierly, Melchoir (I624)

| 94 | 6 June 1921: Charles M. Zerbe, the oldest member of the Lebanon county bar, died on Sunday, at the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Ida S. Zerbe, at Schaefferstown, aged 79 years, 9 months, and 8 days. Mr. Zerbe was taken ill about four weeks ago with the outbreak of a carbunkle on his body, and it was followed by others evidences, the physicians asserted, of a physical debility incident to old age, which is ascribed as the cause of his death, which occurred about noon on Sunday. Mr. Zerbe was a native of Lebanon County and lived here practically all his life. He was born on September 2, 1841, the first born child of Dr. Jonathan and Martha Meyer Zerbe. of Schafferstown. Two younger brothers and two younger sisters preceded him in death. The lawyer secured his preliminary education in the public schools and the Old Academy, at Schaefferstown, and then matriculated to Franklin and Marshall College, from which he was graduated in 1862. Later he taught a year or more in Mrs. Emily Miller's private school at Schaefferstown, and then studied law with the late Samuel Perkins, esq., at Philadelphia. He was admitted to the Philadelphia bar in 1866, and to the Lebanon county bar in August of the same year, and to the Superior and Supreme courts of Pennsylvania. He returned to his home almost immediately thereafter, and began practice here. He resided in Schaefferstown for some years, and then came to Lebanon where he remained in active practice until illness incapacitaed him little more than a month ago. He was one of three young men of Schaefferstown who graduated about the same time at F and M college, Jere Hoffman, who became a captain in the Civil War; W. W. Weigley, later practicing at Philadelphia, and Samuel V. MAys, who died young in life, all of whom took up the practice of law. Dr. S. P. Heilman, late of this city, was a member of the same class. Mr. Zerbe's professional career covered a period of almost 55 years. He was connected at various times with many important cases. He took pride in his profession and his achievements justified his pride. He was long regarded as an authority in the law, and in practice was also held in highest regard. He was well informed on local affairs, and particularly with respect to the older families of the region, and the historic data of this section of Pennsylvania. He was an honored member of the Lebanon County Historical Society. He was made an honorary member of Camp 254, Patriotic sons of America, some years ago. His wife, who was Miss Rebecca Yearsley, of Philadelphia, died about six years ago. [Lebanon Semi-Weekly News, Page 13] | Zerbe, Charles Meyer (I110)

According to findagrave she was married later to William Foster (dates unknown) and William Wilkens who died 1676. Lt Nicholas Stillwell Born Staten Island, New York. Burial: Unknown, Dover, Staten Island, Richmond Co. NY. The Stillwells were descended from one of the most influential and important families, which first settled in New Amsterdam (New York) in the late 1630's while it was still controlled by the Dutch. The family originated in Surrey England. The progenitor of the family in America was Lt. Nicholas Stillwell, 1603-1671. To escape religious persecutions in England he went to Holland. There he offered his services as a soldier to Elizabeth the queen of Bohemia in support of Protestantism. After suffering defeat at Prague, he was one of the queen's escort during her flight to Breslau. It is rumored that he married one of her maids of honor, Abigail Hopton. Extensive research had yet to prove that that marriage happened. After the disbandment of the queen's army he and other family members came to New Amsterdam. He emigrated with his family to New Amsterdam, apparently in the 1640's. The Stillwells eventually settled at Graves End on Long Island with the Lady Moody colonists. Lt. Nicholas Stillwell commanded forces against the Indians in Virginia and later aided Governor Claybourne in MD. He owned one of the original 20 acre farms at Graves End. and eventually resided on 200 acres near Graves End. He was a lieutenant and commander in charge of the expedition against the Indians in the Esopus war. After completing that mission successfully he returned to New Amsterdam and served as a friend and confident of Gov. Peter Stuyvesant, the last of the Dutch governors before the English takeover of New Amsterdam. His second son was Captain Nicholas Stillwell 1636-1714/15. He served as a justice and a constable at Graves End for a number of years. He also served as captain of the Graves End militia. From 1691-1698 he was a member of the colonial assembly from King's County NY. In 1693 he commanded the King's County contingent of men with the Fletcher expedition to Canada against the French and the Indians. He was a man who received many honors during his lifetime. He was also well educated which was an exception in the times in which he lived. Source: Genealogical and Family History of the Wyoming and Lackawanna Valleys, Pennsylvania, vol. II, pp146-147.

He was appointed tobacco viewer of Virginia 1639. He was Lieut, in the war against the Indians 1664; removed to New Amsterdam, N. Y„ 1646 to Gravesend, L. I. 1649; magistrate there 1649-63; Lt. under the Dutch Esopus War 1663; married before 1647 Anne an English woman. It is said that between Nicholas Stillwell and his daughter Ann's husband, Nathanial Brittain, there was more than ordinary affection. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stillwell-18 Biography: Lieut.

An Overview of the Life and Times of Nicholas Stillwell the Progenitor. The following material is quoted from Stillwell, John E. (1929). The History of Lieutenant Nicholas Stillwell, Progenitor of the Stillwell Family in America, with Some Notices of the Family in the Kingdom of Great Britain, pages 86-88. New York City: [no publisher is named] All that is now known concerning Lieutenant Nicholas Stillwell has been recited. Perhaps more may come to light, but enough has been rescued, to establish him as one of the most conspicuous and stirring figures of his eventful time. At this late day he seems like an adventurer of fiction, or a hero of the romantic past. With his great natural force he dominated his fellow man, who during his long career perpetuated him in public office, both elective and appointive; and in private life he was the chief adviser of Lady Deborah Moody and a host of his fellow townsmen. Though possessed of a martial spirit, he was free from the swashbuckling and buccaneering qualities which in that day were prone to accompany prowess. Likewise his deportment was such that he avoided the many scandals and lawsuits common to his time, in the vicinity of New Amsterdam. His persistent activity, ready exposure to hardship, and the age he attained, justly creates the impression that he was a man of great physical strength and robust constitution. He was ever foremost where valor was called for, or where Dutch resistance to English aggression was needed. His sense of loyalty to his benefactors was paramount to all personal interests, and the intensely Dutch authority, T. G. Bergen, Esq., who was never accused of favoring any person or thing English, paid him the merited compliment of saying that he never swerved from his allegiance to the Dutch, which is more than could be said of many of his English neighbors. That he was hasty and passionate of speech under excitement, we concede, but it was only by a handful of malcontents and wrongdoers, against whom he had fearlessly stood alone in the turbulent moments, that he was called unreasonable and a disturber of the peace. 1609 -- Nicholas Stillwell Jr. was born at Collopmore/Colletmore, Dorking, Surrey, England.
