| 1817 | From Taking The Longer View: Swedes on the Delaware Per Stille of Humbl, Roslagen, Sweden and his son Per February 13, 2018 takinglonger (1) Comment Per Still was a prosperous farmer in the 1570s in Roslagen, eastern Sweden.1 His name was on a 1571 tax list of people in Solo, a farm belonging to Penningby Manor.(2) The amount of tax shows “a very good economic position in comparison with the average peasant in the region”.(3) In the list of church tithes for 1590 his name is missing, but the name of “Mrs. Brigitta” appears, probably his widow. By 1596 the name Per Stille appears again on the bailiff accounts, probably a son of Per, with the same name. In 1601 lists were kept of people who were fed on the estate. Brigitta and Per appear several times. “The other farmers who were fed at the manor were (in contrast with Stille) never listed by name, but only as statistics. Stille thus appears to have held a unique position among the farmers… [possibly] the supervisor of the estate.”(4) In 1609 the younger Per was listed as having a wife. After 1627 he was no longer on the Solo list, but on a different island, Humblö. “Apparently he has left the post of estate supervisor, and received the right to live on the latter island as a kind of pension.” By 1628, he is listed as “old Pär Stille” and by 1635 his name is gone and another man is living on Humblö.(5) The name of Per Stille’s wife is not known. From the names of three of her granddaughters, her name may have been Christina.(6) Per and his wife are believed to have had at least six children. Three who did not immigrate are linked by estate records: Kerstin, Johannes and a sister who married a Larsson. When the inventory of Kerstin’s estate was taken in June 1670, Johannes was named as her brother and two Larssons are named as heirs, Witt Johan and Per. It is noticeable that these are people with white-color jobs. Witt Johan is an accountant and his brother Per is a customs inspector.(7) There are also three siblings who did immigrate: Anna, Olof and Axel. They are documented in the records of the ship manifest in 1641 and in New Sweden, where Olof was a prominent figure.(8) All six of them seem to be about the same generation. Anna was having children by about 1626 and Olof was married by 1632. Johannes was a student at Uppsala in 1625. Presumed children of Per and an unknown wife:(9) Kerstin, d. before June 1670, m. Nils Andersson Stake; a “naval artillerist”, he died before Sept 1667, when inventory was taken of his estate for the benefit of his widow. She had a stepdaughter Margareta Nielsdotter, and had been married previously, before the marriage to Stake.(10) Johannes Peter Stille, d. 1672, married the daughter of his predecessor at Funbo. In the record of Kerstin’s estate, he was called the “worthy and learned Mr. John Stille”. Known child: Christina. Anna, m. Måns Svensson Lom before 1626. Immigrated in 1641, settled on the Delaware River. He died in 1653 and Anna married Lars Andersson Collinus, a minister. Children with Mäns: Margaret, Catherine, Peter, Anna, Beata, Christina, Sven, Helena, Maria. A sister who married a Larsson. Had two known sons, Witt Johan and Per, named in the record of Kerstin’s estate in 1670. They were grown by 1670, and must have been born before 1650. Olof, married by 1632, immigrated in 1641, died about 1684. The name of his wife is not known. They had four known children: Ella, Anders, Christina, Johan.(11) Axel, immigrated in 1641, a younger brother of Olof, alive in 1684. No children. Olof was one of the most colorful of the early Swedish settlers. Because of some early court records we know some of his adventures. “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 1 ½. 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.”(12) Once in this country Olof, his brother Axel, and the Lom family settled in the present-day Chester County, Pennsylvania, on the banks of the Delaware River. According to Craig, “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.” Olof was a millwright, a rarity in the colony. He was a leader among the colonists. He presented the list of grievances in 1653 to Governor Printz, who considered this an act of mutiny. Fortunately Printz was soon replaced by Governor Rising, who was more conciliatory. In fact in 1656, when the first Swedish court was organized under Dutch rule, Olof Stille was named the chief justice.13 He served for eight years, which must have been a satisfying turn of events for such a troublemaker. In 1657 the magistrates for the South River were Olof Stille, Mathys Hanson, Peter Rambo and Peter Cook. Peter Rambo and Peter Cock continued to serve in various capacities for years afterwards.(14) Olof died about 1684 and was survived by at least four children (Ella, Anders, Christina, and John).(15) The name of his wife is not known. His brother Axel did not have children. 1. Fritz Nordström, “Olof Stille of New Sweden”, Swedish American Genealogist (SAG), 1986, 6(3), originally published in 1947-48 (?), available online. Nordström and his two brothers owned Penningby Manor in the 1880s. He became curious about the Stille family when an American descendant visited the manor. Nordström researched the Swedish records, including court and tax records.

| 1820 | From the Descendants of John Christopher Miller and Hannah Franciska Stratman: "Catherine was baptized on March 3, 1856 at St. Thomas Lutheran Church in Fairfield County, Ohio. She and Curtis went to housekeeping on a farm southwest of Clearport, Ohio. They moved from Ohio to Catlin, Illinois, in February of 1883 with their family consisting of six children at that time, a sizable amount of furniture and quite a lot of stock. One of her brothers, David, went with them to care for the stock during the trip. For some years, Catherine and Curtis lived south of Catlin and then they purchased a large home and farm on the north side of town. Curtis is a brother to Mary Elizabeth, who married Catherine's brother, George Martens. To this union, ten children were born: Perry, Jennie, Russell, Ellen, Clay, Ethel, Harry, Maude, Lena and Carrie." | Martens, Catherine Margaret (I2733)

| 1824 | From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olof_Persson_Stille Olof Persson Stille (1610–1684) was a pioneer settler of New Sweden, a colony along the lower reaches of the Delaware River in North America claimed by Sweden from 1638 to 1655.[1] Stille served as the first chief justice of the Upland Court, the governing body of the New Sweden colony following Dutch West India Company annexation from Swedish colonial rule. Background Olof Persson Stille was born in Sweden on the island of SoIö in Roslagen, northeast of Stockholm, the son of Per Stille, supervisor of the Penningby estate in Länna parish, Norrtälje Municipality in Uppland, north of Stockholm. In 1627 when Per Stille retired, he was granted land by the owners of Penningby on a nearby island called Humblö in the Stockholm archipelago. This was where Olof Stille married and began his family.[2] New Sweden In May 1641, the Charitas departed for New Sweden. The passengers included Olof Stille, a millwright, with his wife, a daughter, Ella, and son Anders.[3] 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.[4] His daughter Ella married Hans Månsson in 1654 and became the mother of John Hansson Steelman.[5] In New Sweden, Olof Stille settled at a place located between present Crum Creek and Ridley Creek. The property of Stille was at the mouth of Ridley Creek, now Eddystone, Pennsylvania. Local Indians became acquainted with Olof Stille. They considered his heavy, black beard unusual conferring the name Tequirassy on him because of it. Stille became a leader among the settlers and played a key role in promoting the July 1653 list of grievances, which was submitted to Governor Johan Printz, protesting his strict rule. Printz considered this action mutiny and subsequently returned to Sweden.[6] Stille was unapologetic about his role in submitting the list of grievances, and when the new governor, Johan Risingh, raised unresolved questions about the "rebellion," Stille posted bail and demanded to be tried according to the law, though Risingh chose to let the matter drop.[7][8] Upland Court After the surrender of New Sweden to the Dutch West India Company, Governor Peter Stuyvesant agreed to allow the Swedish colonists living north of the Christina River to govern themselves as the "Swedish Nation." While Governor Risingh and some of his followers returned to Sweden, most of the colonists remained. Stuyvesant agreed that the colonists would be governed by a court with magistrates of their choosing, could exercise freedom of religion, would organize their own militia and choose officers, would be allowed continued trade with Indians and retain their landholdings, in return for pledging their loyalty to New Netherland. On August 4, 1656, the "Swedish Nation" was formally recognized with a ceremony at Ft. Christina and four magistrates of the newly created court were recognized: Olof Stille, along with Mats Hansson, Peter Cock and Peter Gunnarsson Rambo.[9] Olof Stille served as the chief justice of this Upland Court at Chester in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, until his retirement in 1664. During that time there were many policy clashes as well as demands made by the Dutch on the Swedish colonists. Stille was credited with being an able defender of the Swedes' position. He was called upon to settle disputes among the colonists even after he had officially retired. Wolley Stille Wolley Stille, a house near Chester which was first completed about 1700, was named for Stille, who owned a neighboring property. Wolley Stille is located in Nether Providence Township, Pennsylvania[10] The house is now in the National Register of Historic Places. Olof Stille moved to Moyamensing (now south Philadelphia) where he died about 1684.[11] References "Delaware". World Statesmen. Retrieved January 18, 2015.

| 1827 | From: The Swedish Settlements on the Delaware: Their history and relations to the Indians, Dutch and English 1638-1664 with an account of the South, the New Sweden, and the American companies and the efforts of Sweden to regain the colony, v.1. By Amandus Johnson, 1911. Pages 462-463 During the winter preparations for the expedition had been made at Gothenburg and Stockholm. The Kalmar Nyckel was repaired at the former place and Van Schotting bought provisions there and large quantities of hay and oats for the cattle that were to be shipped over, while ammunition and various other articles were procured by Beier, Kramer and Fleming at Stockholm, where a second ship, the Charitas was being prepared. The colonist from the various districts of the northern provinces were instructed to assemble at the capital, before the sailing of the vessel and, May 3, 1631, she left Stockholm on her way to Gothenburg with thirty-five souls on board, destined for New Sweden. A list of these has been preserved. Being of considerable interest, as it describes each individual colonist and vies us an idea of the general character of the immigrants, it will be quoted in full: List of the persons who sailed from here to Gothenburg on the ship Charitas, May 3, 1641, and from where they shall be brought over to Nova Svecia [New Sweden], namely: (1) Ivert Hinderricksson, hired to serve as a soldier. He is to have a suit of clothes and a salary of 20 R.D. a year of which he has received 20 D. cop. Money here. (2) Olof Pevalsson, hired to serve as a soldier.

(11) Olof Erickson, a boy. He shall have a salary of 10 R.A. a year and he received 10 D. copper money on departing. (12, 13, 14, 15, 16). Mans Svensonn (Loom), a tailor, who has also been a lieutenant. He intends to begin agriculture in the colony. He received 5 R.D. on departing but otherwise no salary or monthly wage. Goes with his wife, two almost grown up daughters and a little son. (17, 18, 19, 20). Olof Stille, a mill-maker, [“Oloff Stille ein Muehlen Macher”, an expression undoubtedly means that he was a mill-wright, a Mill-builder”] who will begin farming there. He received 50 R.D. copper money, but he seeks no pay. He will be paid, however, for what he does for the company or for what he supplies. He has a wife, and two children, one seven the other one and a half years of age. (21). Mats Hansson, one of Fleming’s servants. He is to have no pay, but to be supplied only with necessary clothing [and food[, because he has committed some offense, and must go along as punishment. (22) Per Kock, an imprisoned soldier from Smedjegarden. He must serve as a soldier for penalty, and is to receive necessary sustenance and clothing. [note: imprisoned soldiers in Stockholm were kept in Smedjegarden.] (23) Karl Johansson, formerly a bookkeeper at Koxholm, who must go along for punishment and he shall also serve at times as a soldier. (24). Eskel Larsson, a deserted soldier from the College of War at this place, sent over as punishment. (25). Herr Christoffer, a priest, goes along on the recommendation of the Royal Admiral, who also gave him 100 D. copper money for this purpose from his own means. Otherwise he has demanded nothing beside his board, because he only wishes to gain some experience or try his luck through this journey. (26). Gustaf Strahl, a young nobleman, goes along to try his luck (or gain experience) on the recommendation of the Royal Admiral, and he received nothing frm the company except his board. (27). Mickel Jonaaon (Bolm), son of the Mayor of Reval, is also an adventurer, seeks no pay, because he goes along to try his luck. (28, 29, 30, 31). Mans [Nilsson] Kling, with his wife, a servant girl, and a little child. His quality and extra allowances have not yet been agreed upon. He is to serve as a lieutenant at the salary of 40 florins a month, to being on May 1, 1641. Beside he was presented with 50 R.D. through Fleming in lieu of his time in waiting [for the expedition].

He also wishes to being a farm or tobacco plantation together with his wife. (34). Lars Markusson, hired as a servant to work on the tabacco plantation. He shall have a salary of 20 R.D. and a suit, but he received nothing on departing. (35). Pafvel Schal, a boy, the son of a baker, in Norrmalm. Receives no pay from the company. The Charitas probably arrived at Gothenburg about the beginning of June, and a number of other colonists were undoubtedly in readiness there. The cargo and provisions were brought on board the two ships as soon as possible. It is probable the Kalmar Nyckel carried the majority of the settlers and that the horse, goats, sheep, cattle and farming implements were loaded into the Charitas. It seems that some arrangements were made for the cattle and passengers, perhaps partitions or cabins being built, but the nature of these is not know. The cost of the cargo and the expenses connected with the expedition were very high. The majority of the sailors and soldiers on the vessels were Swedes, but the officers, with one or two exceptions, were Dutchmen, and there was a sailor-boy (Jacob Evertssen Sandelin, who was along on the first expedition, was mate on the Charitas) from Dublin among the crew. The ships probably left Gothenburg in July. They most likely first touched some point in Holland and from there they went to France. On August 19, 1641, the two vessels left the shores of Europe. The voyage was a stormy one. Two of the colonists and some cattle died on the journey and then the expedition arrived at Fort Christina, November 7, the people and animals were very weak and powerless. Pages 151-155 In 1653 there was much trouble in New Sweden and in the autumn the situation reached a crisis. Ships did not arrive, some colonist deserted and a “revolt” arose against Governor Printz. Several colonist had real or imaginary grievances against the governor. A written supplication in eleven articles, signed by twenty-two settlers, was present to him on July 27. It states that the colonists were “at no hour or time secure as to life and property”; it complained that they were all prohibited from tracing with either the savages or Christians, although the governor never refrained from grasping an opportunity of traffic with these parties; the governor was accused of brutality and avarice and of passing judgement in his own favor again the opinions of the jury; he was accused of forbidding the colonist from grinding the four at the mill and of prohibiting them the use of the “fish-waters, the trees in the woods, the grass on the ground and the land to plant on, from which they had their nourishment.” The petition then prayed that Anders the Finn might be released from his fine, “in order that his wife and children should not starve to death.” On account of these and other troubles, the petitioners said, they were obliged to send two men to Her Royal Majesty and the Hon. Company in the mother country to ascertain if they were entirely neglected . . . and what they should od, since the were not able (allowed?) to seek their subsistence in this county.” The petition kindled the wrath of the governor. Anders Jonsson, who appears to have been the leader of the opposition, was arrested, tried and “executed [on the charge of treachery’ on August 1, 1653.” These names are (in the order of their signatures): Mats Hansson, Olof Stille, Axel Stille, Johan Hwiler, Hindrick Matsson, Ifvar Hindricksson, Mans Anderson, Olof Ericksson, Hinrick Matsson the Finn, Valerius Loo, Hans Mansson, Peter Jochim, Anders Andersson, Per Rombo, Peter Kock, Sven Gunnarsson, Anders Hansson, Marten Martensson, Klas Johansson, Johan Fysk, Lars Thomasson Bross.
