    D.A.R. #A110009

    Published sources give George Stillman's birth date as 24 FEB 1742 and his Mason membership card his death as 10 NOV 1804. However his Mason membership card gives his birth as 07 MAR 1751 and his tombstone gives his birth as 07 MAR 1751 and his death as 04 NOV 1804. His tombstone appears to have the correct dates.

    Sources disagree on the birth location for George Stillman with Barnstable, Massachusetts and Wethersfield, Connecticut being given.
