| 10263 | Olof Persson Stille and his Family by Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig Fellow, American Society of Genealogists Fellow, Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania Historian, Swedish Colonial Society originally published in Swedish Colonial News, Volume 1, Number 16 (Fall 1997) Olof Stille was born on the island of SoIö in Roslagen, northeast of Stockholm, the son of Per Stille, a relatively prosperous supervisor of the Penningby estate in Länna parish. By 1627 Per Stille had retired and was granted land by the owners of Penningby on a nearby island called Humblö. Here Olof Stille married and began his family. Although Olof Stille was on good terms with Erik Bielke, who inherited Penningby in 1629, he did not think well of Bielke's wife, Catarina Fleming. At the Norrtälje fair in 1636, Olof Stille indiscreetly voiced his opinion of Lady Catarina Fleming, who retaliated by prosecuting Olof for defamation and took his property at Humblö. When Olof refused to leave the island, he was imprisoned. After securing his freedom, Olof and his family resettled in Matsunda, where he was joined by one of his former servants named Anders. Lady Fleming, now a widow, had Anders seized on 18 March 1638 and imprisoned at Penningby under the claim that Anders had broken a verbal agreement with the late Lord Bielke to be their servant. Olof Stille heard the news the next day, entered Penningby Castle by a secret door, broke the lock to the dungeon with his axe and then fled, with Anders carrying the axe and Olof his own rapier. On complaint from Lady Fleming, the Governor issued an order for Olof Stille's arrest on 28 March 1638 - the same day that the first expedition to New Sweden was landing at the Rocks. At the trial on 13 April 1638 Olof Stille was convicted of burglary and sentenced to death by the sword. The appellate court, however, modified the sentence to a fine of 100 daler silver money, the equivalent of 17 months pay for a New Sweden soldier. Three years later, in May 1641, when the Charitas departed for New Sweden, the passenger list included Olof Stille, a mill-maker, his wife, a daughter aged 7 and a son aged 11/2. Also on board were Olof's younger brother Axel Stille, and the family of Måns Svensson Lom, whose wife appears to have been Olof's younger sister. His older brother, Johan Stille, later pastor at Fundbo, 1644-1672, and his sister Kerstin remained in Sweden. In New Sweden, Olof Stille settled as a freeman at a place called Techoherassi by the Indians, located between present Crum Creek and Ridley Creek (called Olof Stille's Creek). Joining him at this location were his brother Axel Stille and the Lom family. The Indians were frequent visitors to Techoherassi and liked Olof Stille very much, but they considered his heavy, black beard a monstrosity and conferred a strange name on him because of it. As the only known mill-maker in the colony, Olof Stille probably was in charge of building the first Swedish gristmill on Mill (now Cobbs) Creek. He also became a leader among the freemen and played a key role in promoting the July 1653 list of grievances, signed by Olof Stille and 21 other freemen, which was submitted to Governor Johan Printz, protesting his dictatorial rule. Printz labeled this action mutiny and promptly left for Sweden. To Olof Stille, however, it was simply exercising the right of free speech. When Governor Rising arrived, Olof asked for a prompt trial. Rising, who took a more kindly view toward the freeman, let the matter drop. After the surrender of New Sweden, the Dutch governor, Petrus Stuyvesant, agreed to allow the Swedes and Finns living north of the Christina River to govern themselves. The first Swedish court, organized in 1656, had Olof Stille as its chief justice and also included Peter Larsson Cock, Peter Gunnarsson Rambo and Matts Hansson from Borgå, Finland. During his eight years as chief justice of the Swedes' court, there were frequent policy clashes between the Swedes and the Dutch. Olof Stille proved himself to be an able defender of the Swedes' position and usually prevailed. Retiring as chief justice in 1664, Olof Stille moved to Moyamensing (later south Philadelphia) with Lars Andersson Collinus (who had married Måns Lom's widow) and his son-in-law Marten Roosemond. Even in retirement, he was called upon to arbitrate disputes among the settlers. He died about 1684. He was survived by his brother Axel Stille, who had no children, and four children who have been identified: 1. Ella Stille, born in 1634 in Roslagen, married twice. By her first husband, Peter Jochimsson, she had two children, Peter Petersson Yocum, born 1652, and Elisabeth Petersdotter, born 1654, who married John Ogle, an English soldier. By her second marriage to Hans Månsson, she had six more sons, originally known by the patronymic Hansson but later adopting the surname of Steelman. They were John, Jöns (James), Christiern, Peter, Charles and Eric. Ella died in 1718 in Gloucester County NJ. 2. Anders Stille, born in 1640 in Roslagen, moved to New Castle about 1658 and married there, by 1671, Annetje Pieters, daughter of the Dutch brewer, Pieter Wolfertsen van Couwenhoven. Soon after his marriage, he moved to Christina Creek, taking up residence next to his niece, Elisabeth Petersdotter Ogle. Later, they moved to White Clay Creek in New Castle County, where he died between 1688 and 1692, survived by two sons, John and Jacob, and one daughter thus far identified, Elisabeth, who married Charles Hedges. 3. Christina Stille, born in America c. 1643, became the second wife of Marten Roosemond, a Dutch "cleinsmit" (toolmaker), who moved from New Castle to Moyamensing after his marriage. Two landmarks on that property were named Roosemond Creek and Hollanders Creek. Roosemond returned to New Castle before 1671 and served as judge on the New Castle court and deacon of the Dutch church there until his death in 1677. It is unknown whether Christina had any children. 4. Johan Stille, born in America in 1646, married about 1683 Gertrude, daughter of Mårten Gerritsen and Christina Lom of New Castle County. They had twelve children: Christina (born 1684), Anna (1685), Olof [William] (1687), Sarah (1690), John (1692), Brigitta (1693), Barbara (1697), Peter (1699), Gertrude (1701), Morton (1704), Helena (1705) and Allemisha (1709). Johan Stille inherited the Moyamensing plantation, where he died in 1722. His widow died in 1744. https://web.archive.org/web/20091115095000/http://www.colonialswedes.org/Forefathers/Stille.html The Swedish Colonial Society | Stille, Olof Persson (I5687)

| 10264 | Olof Petersson Stille, of Penningby and Humlo in Lanna parish, Roslagen, Uppland, came to New Sweden in 1641 as a freeman with his wife, his daughter Ella (then 7) and son Anders (then 1 1/2) after two sentencings had brought him to economic ruin. He first settled at Techoherassi on the north side of Ridley Creek, moving by 1664 to Moyamensing, where he died c.1684. Under Printz’ rule, he was the alleged instigator of the 1653 complaint against Printz, signed by himself and 21 other freemen. However, Governor Stuyvesant approved his appointment in 1656 as the chief justice of the Swedes’ court, a position that he held for several years. His daughter Ella married first the Swedish soldier Peter Jochimisson and then the freeman Hans Mansson. Anders Stille moved by 1658 to New Castle County, where he died before 1693, leaving minor sons named Jacob and (probably John). John Ollesson Stille (Moyamensing, £100): Born in New Sweden in 1646, John inherited his father’s farm and married by 1683 Gertrude Skute (1664-1744), youngest daughter of Captain Sven Skute and Anna Johansdotter. By the time of this census, they had five children: Christin (born 1684), Anna (1685), Olof (1687), Sara *1690), and John (1692). Seven more were to follow. John Stille died at Moyanmensing on 24 April 1722; his widow on 16 Jan. 1744. Both were buried at Gloria Del. | Stille, Olof Persson (I5687)

| 10265 | OLOF STILLE Olof Stille was born on Penningby Manor in Länna parish, Roslagen, Uppland, Sweden. His father was Per Stille, who appears to have been a supervisor on the manor and later lived on the island farm of Humblö, also on the manor. (1) His wife’s name is unknown. However, emigration records state that Olof left Sweden with a wife and two children. Children: (2) Ella, born about 1634. Anders, born about 1640. Christina, born about 1643. John, born in 1646. Following is a synopsis of information contained in “Olof Stille of New Sweden,” by Fritz Nordström, and “The Stille Family in America 1641-1772,” by Peter S. Craig. Additional information is cited in footnotes. Olof appears to have immigrated to America after being convicted of crimes related to a dispute with the widow of his former lord. Following is a brief description of the incident. On April 13, 1638, Olof was tried in an “extraordinary session” of the assizes of Frötuna and Länna for crimes against her Ladyship Katarina Fleming of Penningby Manor, the widow of Erik Bjelke. Olof, who had been a servant of the recently deceased lord, had a history of disputes with Her Ladyship that resulted in fines and prison time. As a result of his antics, he was ordered off his farm at Humblö. However, Olof was allowed to keep his cattle on the farm until the following spring and two of his servants remained there. The key point of dispute in the case was whether one of the servants, a man named Anders, was obligated to the late lord or to Olof. In any case, Olof ordered Anders to come to work for him. After several months, on March 18, Anders returned to Väsby and began quarreling with Her Ladyship’s servants. She then had him seized as a runaway. Olof found out about Anders’ situation the next day. Nordström reports that the court was told Olof “went into Jacob of Torpet’s place, where he was told that Anders had been locked up. Then he grabbed a wood-axe and said, ‘I shall get him out, in the name of the bad one.’ … He let himself into Penningby through a secret door, and found the room where Anders was imprisoned, under the very house in which the said Late Lordship lay a corpse. Since the lock was strong he broke apart the masonry, took away the lock and keeper (worth one daler silvermynt), took the servant out, gave him the axe and sent him on ahead. When he himself turned from the wall he bared his sword, which was witnessed by Olof Svensson (who alone was at home in the castle, as the rest of the servant folk were at the census enrollment). “Then, Olof Svensson testified, Olof Stille swept his sword around, uttered foul language and said, ‘I dare you to come and take me!’ Where upon he fled. “The others came home then, and wanted to apprehend him, but they were held back because of the risk to their own lives that could involve.” The court found Olof guilty of robbery – taking Anders, who had been locked up for breach of contract – and condemned to beheading. However, the supreme court reviewed the sentence on May 28 and reduced it to paying a fine and compensation for physical damage to the house. On May 3, 1641, the manifest for the Charitas shows Olof Stille, his wife and two children – a 7-year-old daughter and a 1½-year-old son – among the passengers bound from Göteborg to the colony of New Sweden in America. The manifest states Olof was a millwright and intended to be a farmer in America. Also among the passengers was Axel Stille, who has been identified as Olof’s brother. The Charitas and the Kalmar Nyckel left for America in July and arrived at Fort Christina – the present city of Wilmington, Del. – in November. Olof eventually settled on a tract of land known as Techoherassi, which is now part of Eddystone, Pa. Craig cites a 1702 sources that describes the property: “Techoherassi, Olof Stille’s place, was a small plantation which was built by Swedish freemen, who gave it that name. They were frequently visited by the Indians, as it was on the river-shore, and surrounded with water, like a small island. Olof had a thick black beard from which the Indians had given him the name of ‘the man with the black beard.’ ” The Swedish historian Israel Acrelius covered similar ground in 1759: “The savages stayed much with Olof Stille at Techoheraffi, and were very fond of the old man; but they made a monster of his thick black beard, from which also they gave hi a special name.” (3) Despite his brushes with the law in Sweden, Olof appears to have been respected enough to get himself appointed as a judge. On July 10, 1643, he sat as one of 10 judges in the trial of an Englishman who tried to establish a settlement nearby. On Oct. 6, 1646, he was chose by the New Sweden’s Gov. Johan Printz to deliver a protest to representatives from the Dutch colony of New Netherlands. Olof’s rebellious side arose again by 1648, when he became involved in a dispute with Gov. Printz concerning a calf. Then, in 1653, a number of prominent settlers, including Olof, signed a complaint to Printz, who considered it mutiny. Printz had a solider, whom he thought to be a ringleader, shot and ordered that Olof and the local pastor stand trial. However, Printz soon left the colony and the trial apparently never happened. (4) When the new governor, Johan Rising, arrived in May 1654, Olof signed the oath of allegiance to the Swedish crown. Rising got himself into trouble when he attacked a Dutch colony at the present site of New Castle, Del. The angered Dutch returned and drove out the Swedish officials and ended that country’s colonial ambitions in North America. However, Olof and other Swedes stayed in their new homeland. Under the Dutch, the Swedish settlers continued to have a degree of self-government and Olof became one of their magistrates. (5) In addition to these duties, in 1661, the Dutch asked Olof to go to Maryland to try to convince Swedish settlers who had abandoned the Dutch colony to return. When, in 1664, the English seized the Dutch colony, Olof continued his role as magistrate. He retired in 1675. The English 1671 census of Delware shows Olof living at Moyamensing. A 1677 tax list show Olof’s household including his son John. Olof fails to appear in a 1683 census and subsequent documents, probably indicating he was in ill healthy or had died by this point.

| 10277 | On the page following the View of the Marckveldt and ‘T Water is a Plan of New Amsterdam as it existed from about 1644-1657. This is a reproduction of a plan of New Amsterdam, compiled from the Dutch and English records, by J. H. I lines in his remarkable volume, New Amsterdam and Its People. The plot is the lower tip of Manhattan Island, which today is the heart of the financial and business district of the largest city in the world, New York City. In order that the site of New Amsterdam as shown on this early map may be made more clear, in its relation to the position of the modern New York City, the location of the present Wall St., Exchange Place, New St., and Broad St. are shown in dotted lines. The location of these modern streets in the New York financial district was furnished by Mr. John R. Goubeaud, of the New York City Engineering Department. In addition to the references, listed by Mr. Innes on his original plan, the compiler has added the location of four homes of ancestors of the Staten Island-Pennsylvania group of the Corsons in America. The buildings located are : No. 1. The house of Cors Pietersen and his wife, Tryntje Hendricks; No. 2. The house of Fredrick Lubbertsen and his first wife, Styntje Hendrickse, the maternal grandparents of Maritje van der Grift, who became the wife of Cors Pietersen’s eldest son, Capt. Cornelis Corssen ; No. 3. The house of Cornelis Volkertsen and Maria Du Trieux, whose granddaughter, Blandina Viele, married Benjamin Corssen, a son of Captain Cornelis Corssen of Staten Island ; No. 4. The house of Joannes Nevius, about 1655. The great granddaughter of Joannes Nevius, Margarietje Neefies (Nevius) married Cornelis Corsen, of Bucks County, Pa., a grandson of Capt. Cornelis Corssen. The building (No. 2) on the Northwest corner of Maiden Lane and Pearl St., was sold about 1657, by Fredrick Lubbertsen, to Maria Du Trieux and her second husband, Jan Peeck. The build¬ ing designated No. 3, which seems to have been located at the inter¬ section of the modern Exchange Place and Broadway, was probably the first house built on Broadway south of Wall St. after 1644, at which time a lease on this land to Jan Damen expired. Here in this building, Cornelis Volkertsen and Maria Du Trieux kept a tavern, probably until the death of Volkertsen, before 1650. Maria Du Trieux and her second husband, Jan Peeck, seem to have occupied the Lubbertsen house (No. 2) until about 1660, when they sold it to Cornelis Clopper. At this time they seem to have acquired the eastern half of the Lubbertsen Lot, which had been sold previously to Albert Cornelissen, and to have erected here a building used as a tavern, which remained in their possession for many years. Mr. Innes on page 302 of his history has the following: “This house, which must have occupied the site, or a part of the site of the present building, No. 207 Pearl Street, was just sufficiently removed from the observation of the town authorities to afford a convenient drinking house for Indian visitors to New Amsterdam, and is supposed to have been the seat of the illicit liquor traffic for which Mary Peeck was banished from Manhattan Island in 1664.’’ This incident is related in a subsequent chapter. You will probably agree with the compiler, that it is a privilege, enjoyed by few American families, to be able, almost three hundred years after, to see, in a view of New Amsterdam, the house occupied by the progenitor, and to see located on a plan of this early settlement, the buildings in which at least five maternal ancestors of our family lived and raised their children.

| 10284 | On their [the local Indians] account the people were compelled to live close together, as also to have stories on their houses provided with loop-holes. By their intercourse with the savages the Swedes became well acquainted with the Indian language, and there are still a few of the older ones who express themselves quite well in it. The savages stayed much with Olof Stille at Techoheraffi, ad were very fond of the old man; but they made a monster of his thick black beard, from which also they gave him a special name. Olof or Olle Stille, millwright, of Techoheraffi, at the mouth of Olle Stille's Kill, now Ridley Creek, at the present borough of Eddystone, Pennsylvania, was a native of Roslagen, in the parish of Lanna, and Penningsby Court, in Sweden, and came over in 1641. His descendant the late Charles J. Stille was provost of the University of Pennsylvania, and president of the Historical Society of Pennsyvlania.

| 10286 | Once sentenced to death in Sweden, Olof Stille ran a mill and became a chief justice here. By Amy Grant Born on the island of Solö, near Stockholm, Olof Stille was the son of Per, a supervisor of the Penningby estate. By 1627, Per, now retired, was granted land by the owners of Penningby on a nearby island called Humblö. Here Olof married and began his family. Although he was on good terms with Erik Bielke, who inherited Penningby in 1629, Olof did not think well of Bielke’s wife, Lady Catarina Fleming. At the Norrtälje fair in 1636, Olof indiscreetly voiced his opinion of Fleming, who retaliated by prosecuting Olof for defamation and seized his property at Humblö. When Olof refused to leave the island, he was imprisoned. After securing his freedom, Olof and his family resettled in Matsunda, where he was joined by one of his former servants named Anders. Claiming that Anders had broken a verbal agreement with the late Lord Bielke to be their servant, Fleming, now a widow, had Anders seized in 1638 and imprisoned at Penningby. Olof breaks in … and frees his friend Anders Hearing the news, Olof entered Penningby Castle by a secret door, broke the lock to the dungeon, and fled with Anders. After a warrant was issued for Olof’s arrest, he went to trial, was convicted of burglary, and sentenced to death by the sword. The appellate court, however, modified the sentence to a fine. Three years later, in May 1641, when the Charitas departed for New Sweden, the passenger list included Olof, a mill-maker, his wife, and two of their children. In New Sweden, Olof settled as a freeman at a place called Techoherassi by the Indians, located near Ridley Creek. The Indians liked Olof very much, but they considered his heavy, black beard a monstrosity. Setting up the first Swedish gristmill on Cobbs Creek As the only known mill-maker in the colony, Olof was probably in charge of building the first Swedish gristmill on Mill (now Cobbs) Creek. But life under the rule of Governor Johan Printz was unpleasant. Olof and other freemen were placed under unfair restrictions. So Olof led the freemen in protest. They submitted a signed letter of grievances to Printz in 1753. Printz labeled this action mutiny and promptly left for Sweden. His replacement Governor Rising let the matter drop. After the surrender of New Sweden, the Dutch governor, Petrus Stuyvesant, agreed to allow the Swedes and Finns living north of the Christina River to govern themselves. The first Swedish court, organized in 1656, had Olof as its chief justice. During his eight years as chief justice of the Swedes’ court, there were frequent policy clashes between the Swedes and the Dutch. Olof proved himself to be an able defender of the Swedes’ position and usually prevailed. Retiring as chief justice in 1664, Olof moved to Moyamensing (later south Philadelphia). Even in retirement, he was called upon to arbitrate disputes among the settlers. He died about 1684.
