The family moved to Beverwyck (Albany), New York in 1654 and moved on to Schenectady in 1662. Symon and his sons had become farmers by this time. February 8 and 9, 1690, the family were some of the victims of the Schenectady Massacre when the French and Indian allies attacked the village.

"...The 25th of the Month called June 1684. Peter Cocke aged 74, Peter Rambo 72, and Hamce Monson age 72 years or thereabouts, appeared before us William Welch, James Claypoole, and Thomas Wynne, three of the Kings Justices of the peace for the County of Philadelphia, in the Province of Pennsylvania, Who being solemnly attested, did severallie declare that what they have here respectively certified and subscribed is the truth and nothing but the truth, as God shall help them..."

Published 1967, The Historical Society of Pennsylvania. https://journals.psu.edu/pmhb/article/view/42227/41948 1641: Hans Mansson departs from Sweden, to New Sweden (an area of present day USA), aboard the vessel Charitas, as a convict indentured servant to serve a sentence of six years. Hans was described as a "trooper" that cut down several fruit trees in the Royal Garden at Varnhem. His punishment was to choose between death from hanging, or go to New Sweden as a convict laborer; he chose the latter.

On 14 MAY 1669, Hans Mansson was granted an English Patent, of over 1,100 acres, for the Aronameck Plantation, which extended from the Schuylkill River to Cobbs Creek in Kingsessing, Philadelphia, PA, per The Swedish Colonial Society. Reference: https://www.facebook.com/SwedishColonialSociety/posts/2695550083849364/ 1654: Hans Mansson married Ella, the daughter of Olof Stille. They were married circa 1654. Hans was about 20 years older than Ella. Ella was the widow of Peter Jochimsson. Peter was Hans' close friend. Ella had 2 children from her previous marriage to Peter, who were named Peter Petersson Yocum, born circa 1652, and Elizabeth Petersdotter, born circa 1654. Hans Mansson and Ella had the following known children: John Steelman born circa 1655 Christiern Steelman (unknown birth year?) James Steelman born circa 1665-1673, in present day Philadelphia, PA, USA Peter Steelman born circa 1674 Charles Steelman born circa 1679 Eric Steelman born circa 1681 Hans Mansson and Ella lived in Aronameck (present day Philadelphia, PA). In the mid-1670s they removed to the Pennsauken Creek area in present day Cinnaminson Township, Burlington County, New Jersey, and established a permanent residence there by 1681/1682. Though that was their residence, Hans traveled back and forth from there to Philadelphia, because records are found of him in Pennsylvania up until 1689, per a deed from 1687, and per his mark in a Gloria Dei Church Book (Wicaco Congregation) in 1689. 1691: Hans Mansson died circa 1691.

| 9936 | Note on Find a Grave: ***** "Swedish American Genealogist" December 1986, Vol. VI #4, "The Stille Family in America 1641-1772" by Peter Stebbins Craig - " Anders Olofsson Stille Anders Stille was only one and a half years old when he left Stockholm with his father in 1641. He had already left home at Techoherassi by 1658 when he is shown to be a resident of New Castle (then New Amstel) in present Delaware. At the New Castle Court on 17 October 1683 he appeared as a witness in a land dispute. The Dutch scribe reported:[51] Andries Tilly sayeth that he has been 25 or 26 years here in town, and that there were houses on both ends of the ground in controversy but knows nothing of any street. The 1671 English Census of the Delaware, under the caption of New Castle, listed a head of household named "Anna Pieterson marryed to Andreas ---," which we believe to be Anders Stille.[52] By 1675, listed as "Andries Tilley," he was shown living on the Christina River.[53] This land, near present Christiana, Delaware, was surveyed for "Andrew Tilley" on 5 October 1680 when it was already in his possession. The survey identified the property as lying on the southeast side of the river, being bounded on the southwest by "Tilly's Run" and the property of his niece and her husband, John and Elizabeth Ogle, and on the northeast by John Garrettson.[54] John Ogle also owned property on the north side of Christina River at this location, known as Christiana Bridge, then a main route to Maryland.[55] Another neighbor was Jonas Arskin, whose father, the late Sgt. John Arskin, had (like John Ogle) been involved in the 1664 English invasion of the Delaware.[56] This site at Christiana, Delaware, became the stage of a bloodless war between Pennsylvania and Maryland in the dispute between William Penn and Lord Baltimore over the extent of their respective provinces. Olof Stille's granddaughter Elizabeth Petersdotter Ogle became a widow by February 1683/4 when the New Castle Court named Elizabeth Ogle administratrix of her late husband's estate.[57] Two months later, on 4 April 1684, the sheriff of New Castle County sent an urgent express to William Penn:[58] Even now about the 8th hour in the evening came Jonas Arskin from Widow Ogle's and informed me that Colonel [George] Talbot [from Maryland] was come with about 40 or 50 men, some with guns and some with axes, and presently fell to work to cut down timber, and says they design to build there a log house, supposed to be in the nature of a fort, and it's thought may have it up by tomorrow night. He [Talbot] read a commission from Baltimore to authorize him to the action, as likewise to come and demand this town [New Castle] tomorrow. What the issue hereof will be I know not, but I thought it my duty to send this express by thy own pinnace. On the next day, sheriff William Welch rounded up a posse and galloped out to Christiana Bridge. Late that night he wrote again to William Penn, reporting that his posse had interviewed Widow Ogle and others and had formally protested Talbot's action, but that the fort had been constructed and Talbot intended to stay.[59] Later, on 30 May 1684, Welch's successor Samuel Land reported to Penn that "Jonas Erskin" and "Andries Tille" had been with him the day before and had reported that Colonel Talbot, with three musketeers, had gone the day before to Widow Ogle's, Jonas Arskin and Anders Stille to warn each that unless they swore obedience to Lord Baltimore, they would be turned out of their lands.[60] On learning of this development, William Penn on 4 June 1684 drafted a long letter to Lord Baltimore protesting George Talbot's activities. Specifically, he protested Talbot's going "to the bridge upon Christina River being within six miles of New Castle where he in hostile manner upon a spot of land belonging to the widow Ogle (whose husband came over with Capt. Carr, that under his majesty's government reduced the place) did forthwith cause a fort to be erected."[61] Although Talbot's fort at Christiana Bridge may have added impetus to the move, the Stille, Ogle and Arskin families had already laid plans to move to White Clay Creek in western New Castle County, near the present city of Newark, Delaware. A 200-acre tract known as "Northampton," on the east side of White Clay Creek, was surveyed for John Ogle on 16 August 1682.[62] Further northward another 430-acre tract known as the "Hopyard" was surveyed for his two sons 14 October 1683, and a patent was issued for the same of 26 March 1684.[63] Meanwhile, both Anders Stille and Joan Arskin obtained warrants on 5 Sept. 1682 for lands on the west side of White Clay Creek and later obtained patents for the same near present Newark.[64] Later New Castle tax records show all three families residing on White Clay Creek.[65] On 19 June 1686 Andrew Stille conveyed one-half of his marsh on White Clay Creek to widow Elizabeth Ogle in behalf of her two sons, Thomas and John Ogle (his grand nephews). He acknowledged this deed in the New Castle Court on 9 Dec. 1686.[66] A year later he exchanged his lands on White Clay Creek for 186 acres owned by Reynier Vander Culen, a Dutchman.[67] Thereafter his name disappears from Delaware River Records. No will or other record relating to his death has been found. It appears certain that one of the children of Anders and Anna Stille was Jacob Stille, whose name frequently appears in the records of Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) Church at Christina (Wilmington), Delaware.[68] He was born c. 1675-80 and married by 1710 Rebecca Springer, daughter of Charles Christophersson Springer (born in Sweden) and his wife Maria Hendricksdotter.[69] They had ten children, four sons and six daughters.[70] Jacob Stille, a farmer and for several years a warden of Holy Trinity Church, wrote his will 14 Sept. 1771, which was proved 6 Feb. 1774.[71] It also appears probable that Anders and Anna Stille were the parents of John Stille, whose name first appears in Northampton County, Virginia, on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay where the following entry appears in the court minutes of 28 March 1694:[72] Sources: [51]NCR, 2:71. [52] Berthold Fernow's 19th century reading of this 1671 document transcribed the entry as "Anna Pieterson marryed to Andrees Teller." NYCD, 12:649. Subsequent fire damage to the document has obliterated the last name. See NYHM, 21:105. [53] As was the case for a majority of the Swedes and Finns in New Castle County, Anders Stille refused to be conscripted to help build a dike for the Dutch justice, Hans Block, for which he was fined 20 guilders, along with John Ogle, Ogle's servant, and Sargeant Arskine and his son Jonas, all living on "Christeen Kill." NCR, 1:163 [54] The tract, known as "Chestnut Point", was found to contain 123 acres. NCR, 1:505. [55] John Ogle's "Fishing Place" had been surveyed 4 October 1680. NCR, 1:503. Another tract, known as "Eagle Point," 74 acres, was surveyed for John Ogle on the north side of Christina Creek, 8 Dec. 1683. Scharf, 933. [56] In 1678, widow "Jean Erskine" (Arskin) sent a complaint to New York's Governor protesting harassment by creditors in which she reported: "your petittionors husband going in a cannew in Cristena Creeke the 23rd day of October last past to fech nessesary provitions for the Relife of himself and family was acccidentally drownded, so that your petitionor with fowre children was left husbandless and fatherless." NYHM, 20:127. The governor's secretary, Matthias Nicolls, replied on 6 Nov. 1678, describing her as "Jane the widow of Serjeant John Erskin." NYHM, 21:30. On 16 Nov. 1679, Jean Arskin granted power of attorney to her son Jonas Erskin of Christina Creek to act as administrator of her late husband's estate. NCR, 1:450.

After William Penn's departure to England for his successful lawsuit against Lord Baltimore, his Provincial Council, sitting in Philadelphia, received a report 10 Sept. 1684. The minutes state "information being given to this board that the Widdow Ogle's hay was thrown into the creek, and Andrew Stille's Clouths Terne by Coll. Talbot's People, who did it by his order, Edm[un]d Cantwell and Jon. Cann were Ordered to Inspect to the truth of it, and to make a Speedy report of the same to this board." PA, 1st Ser,, 1:119-20. [62]Scharf, 933. John Ogle had been granted a warrant for 200 acres by the New Castle Court on 4 March 1678/9. NCR, 1:304 [63] On 1 November 1681 the New Castle Court issued to John Ogle (on behalf of his two sons Thomas and John) a warrant for 400 acres. NCR, 1:502. The land selected, called "Hopyard," on White Clay Creek was surveyed 14 Oct. 1683 as being 430 acres. Scharf, 914. A patent for the same was issued 26 March 1684, which was sold 9 Jan. 1686/7 by Elizabeth Ogle to her brother Peter Peterson Yocum, and John Hans Steelman, co-executor, to John Guest of Philadelphia, Thomas Ogle (as heir to John Ogle) consenting. PA 2d, 19:369-70. [64]NCR, 2:13. The tracts of "Andrew Tilly," "Tho. Ogle" and "Jonas Askew (Arskin), as well as the "Hopyard" are shown on a 1685 survey of White Clay Creek by Thomas Pierson in the map collection of the Historical Society of Delaware in Wilmington. Anders Stille's land embraced the present Newark County Club and the George M. Wilson Park in Newark, Delaware. [65]NCR,2:122, 170. On 1 Dec. 1684, "Andrew Stilly, planter," sold his 123-acre "Chestnut Point" at Christiana Bridge to Robert Hutchinson. New Castle County Deeds, H-1:55. This sale was acknowledged in court on 17 Dec. 1685. NCR, 2:126. [66] New Castle County Deeds, Q-1:296. NCR, 2:165. [67]NCR, 2:177. [68] Israel Acrelius, pastor of Holy Trinity Church 1749-56 stated categorically in his 1758 treatise on New Sweden that Olof Stille "was the ancestor of the Swedish Stilles in America." Acrelius, 46 n. 10. Acrelius was Jacob Stille's pastor throughout his stay in America. In his 1754 enumeration of the Holy Trinity Congregation, Acrelius lists Jacob Stille, farmer, as speaking and understanding Swedish well, although unable to read. (Amandus Johnson Papers, Balch Institute, Philadelphia.) A similar enumeration in 1764 by Pastor Anders Borell again shows that Jacob Stille had a complete understanding of the spoken Swedish language, with the comment "This man is unable to read, but has a good knowledge of his Christian doctrine." MHT, #116. It may be surmised that Jacob Stille never had an education. [69]DH, 5:287 n. 37. [70] All ten children were born in Christiana Hundred, New Castle County. They were: (1) Jonathon Stille, born before 1713, married 17 April 1735 Magdalena Vanderveer (Swedish), born 5 November 1718 to Jacob and Mary Vanderveer. He was a farmer in Brandywine Hundred where he died of consumption, 21 April 1765, and was survived by his wife Magdalena. They had twelve known children: Rebecca born 23 Jan. 1736, buried 5 Oct. 1736; Anna Maria, born 14 Aug. 1737, who married Hans Nebecker 30 Oct. 1755 and moved to Upland, Pa., and had nine children; Magdalena, born c. 1738, living at home 1754; Jacob, born 3 Sept. 1739, who married Anne (Nancy) French, 5 Feb. 1760, and moved to western Pennsylvania c. 1773, where he was accidentally killed 17 March 1778 at Fort MacIntosh; John, born c. 1742, who married Sara French, 14 Nov. 1763, and had one child by 1764; Elizabeth, born 18 July 1744, who married Owen Zebley; Hannah, born c. 1746, who married Joseph Gorby, 20 Dec. 1770; Dinah, born 27 Feb. 1751, who married William Talley, Jr., 5 Nov. 1768; Sarah, born 8 Feb. 1754, who married Samuel Jordan, 1773; Samuel, born 21 March 1756, who married Elizabeth Chew at Raccoon (Swedesboro), N.J. 2 April 1783 and died in Upper Township, Cape May County, N.J., 2 August 1818; a child born c. 1758 who is listed but not named in the 1764 church census; and Ephron, born 14 Nov. 1761, who died 6 Nov. 1763. (2) Andrew Stille, born before 1713, married 21 Dec. 1738 Catharina Stalcop (Swedish), born 4 March 1718 to Andrew and Anna Barbara Stalcop. They had eleven known children: Maria, born 5 Dec. 1739, who married Samuel Cleany 17 June 1755; Elizabeth, born 10 Sept. 1741, living at home in 1764; Jacob, born 22 Jan. 1745, living at home in 1764; Anna, born c. 1747, who died of smallpox 10 Nov. 1763; Rebecca, born c. 1749, who married John Veal 23 Jan. 1776; Peter, born 21 June 1751, living at home in 1764; John, born 20 Feb. 1754, who married Elizabeth Gray 11 Dec. 1777; Isaac, born 20 May 1756; Rachel, born c. 1758; Catherina, born 9 Feb. 1761; and an infant born c. 1763 (not named in the 1764 church census). Andrew Stille was a farmer in Christiana Hundred and still living when his father wrote his will on 14 Sept. 1771. (3) Mary Stille, born 22 June 1715, married 12 Feb. 1736 Charles Hedge, son of Joseph Hedge (English) and Catharine Stalcop (Swedish). They moved to Frederick County, Maryland, where Mary (Stille) Hedge died 23 Aug. 1765. They had numerous children, the eldest of whom was Jacob (1738), named after his maternal grandfather. (4) Peter Stille, born 8 March 1717, followed his elder sister to Frederick County. His will of 25 July 1765 (proved 15 August 1765) and the will of his widow Mary of 30 Sept. 1784 (proved 7 Jan. 1785) show five children: Jacob, the eldest; John; Peter (c. 1744-1803 who married Elizabeth Orndorff); Esther (who married John Kennedy c. 1767 and died 1784 in Bedford county, Va.); and Rebecca (who married her third cousin Benjamin Ogle 1 Oct. 1776). (5) Susanna Stille, born 19 Jan. 1719, married 1 Dec. 1737 Justa Justis (Swedish), born c. 1710 to Måns and Catharina Walraven Justis. Måns Justis (1684-1774) was the son of Giösta Giöstasson (Justa Justis 1655-1721) and grandson of Johan Giöstasson from Kinnekulle, Sweden, who had arrived in America in 1643 as a soldier for New Sweden. Justa and Susanna (Stille) Justis had two children baptized at Holy Trinity Church: Maria, born 1 July 1738, and Catharina, born 10 Oct. 1740. Thereafter a son David was born. Susanna died by 1749. (6) Elizabeth Stille, born 3 April 1721, had left home by the time of Acrelius' 1754 census. In her father's 1771 will she is named as Elizabeth Pollard. (7) Margaretta Stille, born 18 Dec. 1722, was first married 19 June 1740 to Peter Derrickson (Swedish), born 21 July 1715 to Zacharias Derrickson and Helena Vanderveer. Their first child, Jacob, was born 2 Sept. 1740 and baptized at Holy Trinity. Thereafter the couple moved to Penns Neck, Salem County, NJ, where four additional children were born - Johan, Catherine, Rebecca (1750) and Isaac or Jack (1751) before Peter Derrickson died intestate in 1753. By 1754, Margaretta had remarried Matthias Nilsson (Also Swedish), by whom she had an additional child, Christina. The will of Matthias Nilsson of Penns Neck, written 12 April 1759 and proved 9 June 1759, named his stepchildren Jacob, Rebecca, Jack and Catherine Derrickson and their own child Christina. Thereafter, Margaretta married once more, this time to a ------ Meredith, probably the father of Richard Meredith who married her daughter Christina Nilsson 29 April 1772. She is named as Margaretta Meredith in her father's 1771 will. (8) Rebecca Stille, born 4 Feb. 1725, married in 1744 John Vanneman (Swedish). They had one child, Rachel, born c. 1745, before Rebecca died shortly thereafter. In 1754 Rachel was living with her grandfather Jacob Stille in Christianna Hundred, New Castle County. By 1772, still unmarried, she was living among the Raccoon congregation in West Jersey with her father John Vanneman (then estimated to be "60" years old) and his second wife, Maria Mullica (Swedish), whom he had married before 1754. (9) John Stille, born 22 April 1727, married 26 Sept. 1754, his cousin Elizabeth Ogle, born 1729, daughter of John Ogle and Elizabeth Robinson and granddaughter of Thomas Ogle, eldest son of John and Elizabeth (Petersdotter Yocum) Ogle. He became a cabinetmaker. They had eight children baptized at Holy Trinity Church: Thomas, born 17 July 1755; Lydia, born 24 Aug. 1757; Anna, born 29 Aug. 1759; John (also called Israel), born 19 Oct. 1761; Hannah, born 1 Nov. 1762; William, born 6 Dec. 1764; John and Elizabeth (twins), born 28 March 1768. (10) Lydia (sometimes "Lady") Stille, born 16 Jan. 1732, married 11 May 1756 John Bird (born 22 Nov. 1726, son of Thomas and Rachel Bird). They had two children, Thomas Bird, born 17 May 1757, who married 10 Jun 1784 Mary Babb and had numerous children, and Rebecca Bird, born 7 Oct. 1758. Lydia Stille Bird died "in childbed" and was buried 3 June 1761. Her husband next married Mary Stille in Pennsylvania, 3 March 1762. Mary Stille Bird died of consumption 25 Aug. 1762 and was buried at Holy Trinity along with his first wife. [71] The will, which named his son Andrew Stilley as executor, also mentioned his children John, Elizabeth Stilley (alias Pollard) and Margaret Stilley (alias Meredith), his sons-in-law Charles Hedge and John Bird, and his daughters-in-law Mary Stilley (widow of Peter Stille) and Catharine Stilley (wife of Andrew).

Children: Jacob, Joseph, Abraham Jr., Isaac, Rebecca, Mary. 2nd wife after death of Ruth: Martha Roberts Wheeler(1742-1780). Children: Ruth, Hannah, Daniel, John Abraham Van Meter, son of John Van Meter and Margaret Molenaur, was born in 1721 in Somerset County, New Jersey. Abraham, true to the instincts of family, settled down as a breeder, grazier, and trader of horses and cattle and carried on extensive business relations with the settlers along the Ohio River frontiers. He established trading posts on the border and at the crossings of streams in the wilderness. In addition to the trading, he and his sons acted as guides and counsellors to the pioneers. In the days preceding the Revolution, they had become known as active, reliable frontiersmen. While engaged in these trading tours, Abraham had ample opportunity of observing the character of the country, the advantages it offered, and the inducements to purchase. As a result he was able to provide for himself and friends certain settlement rights which he located on the waters of Short creek in Ohio County and then in Virginia, now West Virginia. Abraham found it necessary, for the protection of the neighborhood, to erect a stockade on Short Creeek, near its junction with the Ohio River. This post became known in border history as Van Metre's Fort, and it became the rendezvous for the settlers during attacks by the Indians on the settlement. This fort subsequently fell into the possession of Abraham's son, Joseph Van Metre, during his father's lifetime, and then he, in turn, willed it to his son, Morgan Van Metre. This fort was situated in Richland township, now Brooke County, West Virginia, and is believed to be the first fort erected in this part of Virginia. Abraham Van Metre's loyalty and service to the Colonies during the Revolution included his participation in the defense of the border when it was infested by the British, renegade Tories, and their Indian allies. When the Virginia Convention assembled in 1776, Abraham was present and among those who signed a petition to the Congress May 18th. Abraham died in the year 1783 and was buried on his farm near Martinsburg, West Virginia. Sources: A Story of a Van Matre Family, Joseph M Van Matre, A story of a Van Matre Family.

In 1660, he went back to Holland, most likely to buy goods to trade and sell in New York. He was an agent for Dirk de Wolfe of Amsterdam and erected a salt kettle on Coney Island, New York, but soon after abandoned it when a case against him went to court in 1661. In 1661, he married Annatye and their children were: 2 children who died very young, Albert (#148447533), Arent and Angenietje.
