Surnames: DEAKE, DAKE, STILLMAN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XcB.2ACE/321.1.1.1 Message Board Post: My family started out in Hopkinton, RI (Deake) and one of the places they migrated to was Stillman Valley in Ogle Co., IL. I don't know who it was named after but you might try looking that up. My family later moved from there to Iowa. Looks a lot like the path that your family took.
