My grandfather's first cousin asked me to research her father's family. She did
not have any names just that her father talked about Warsaw, IN and was born Sep. 1885.
Well, since then I have developed quite a family group of William Stilwell and his wife
Phoebe Russell of Richland Twp., Whitley Co., IN. Their son Daniel (wife Mary C. Hammond)
had a son Harry who was the father of my cousin. This family moved to Kosciusko County
and various children show up in the marriage records there online.
There appears another son David with wife Sarah Jane in the 1870 census. Whitley Co
cemeteries records online gives the dates of Wm. and Phoebe and their children who did not
live to marry. There are 3 children that I have not been able trace past their names -
George, Mary, and Phoebe.
Anyone who thinks they might tie into this family group, please contact me. Will share
what I have.
