I am not researching or related to these families. However, I live in the area of Stillman Valley, Ogle County, IL. Major Isaiah Stillman fought a famous Indian battle there. Capt. Abraham Lincoln buried the dead, there, the day after the battle. See: http://showcase.netins.net/web/creative/lincoln/sites/stillman.htm Check out this site for info on Isaiah and his mother (Abigail) and father (Benjamin) and brothers and sisters, as they were from the same general area and time frame you are looking: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsangam/1876/stillman.htm
