If you go to this website it will give you some more dates, names and spellings for your specific interests: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~forladd/genrpt3_s.htm 93 vi. Elizabeth Stillwell, born Abt. 1723; died 1815. She married (1) Capt. Peter Wraxall December 09, 1756; died July 11, 1759. She married (2) Gen. John Maunsell June 11, 1763 in Trinity Church, New York City; died July 27, 1794. Notes for Elizabeth Stillwell: JESv2#33 "Elizabeth Stillwell . . . was a very beautiful woman, possessed of great force of character, but in whom every womanly element predominated" (JESv2p61). She made her home in New York City; she had no children. Her coffin, and that of John Maunsell, were moved to Trinity Cemetery in the plot of Mr. Bradhurst when streets were laid through the land that had been their farm (JESv2p62).
