He died on 28 December 1671 at Staten Island, Richmond County, New York. Nicholas' first wife was Abigail Hopton the daughter of Sir. Robert Hopton of Hopton Priory, England. Nicholas Stillwell the ancestor of the Family in America was an Englishman, who came from Leyden, in Holland, about 1638, after the death of his first wife Abigail Hopton, bringing with him his two only children Richard and Nicholas. He settled on Manhattan Island and married Ann Van Dyke.
(Notes on the Descendants of Nicholas Stillwell, the Ancestor of the Stillwell Family in America by: William H. Stillwell, NY 1883). Grand Prairie Historical Society Bulleting, Vol 6 #4 Oct. 1963 by Eugene Cass Haller, states that Nicholas Stillwell in 1639 was in VA., and was a tobacco planter and in the militia but became discontent there and went to New Amsterdam ca. 1645. this is in disagreement with 'Early Settlers of Kings Co., NY' which places him in New Amsterdam in 1639.

Anne (Unknown) (F)
b. circa 1620, #121553
Relationship=9th great-grandmother of David Kipp Conover Jr..

     Of Ann, the wife of Nicholas Stillwell, the First, little is known. She was probablly an English woman, for she subsequently became the wife of William Wilkins and of William Foster, both Englishmen, ans nowhere among the Dutch records, wherein her name appears and where the opportunity has been ample, has her surname been given, as was common among the Dutch of that day. The earliest mention of her name that I (author) have seen so far seen occurs in the Dutch Church Records of New Amsterdam, when 1647, Jan. 14, Anne, the wife of Nicholas Stillwell, was a sponsor, with Richard Cool, at the baptism of Anna, daughter of John Harten, in the Dutch Church at New Amsterdam. She was a lady of good birth and breeding and was alluded to in contemporary records as Mistress Anne Stillwell, an appellation of restricted use and confined to those of good station.

Anne Stillwell was the mother of, if not all, of Nicholas Stillwell's children, and was presumably shomewhat younger than her husband Nicholas Stillwell, and per haps somewhat older than her last husband William Foster. Nicholas Stillwell may have married her in Old England, perhaps in Virginia. Anne (Unknown) was born circa 1620 at Netherlands. She married Lt. Nicholas Stillwell Jr., son of Nicholas Stillwell Sr. and Alice (Unknown), circa 1642 at Netherlands. Anne (Unknown) married William Wilkins on 29 December 1672 at Gravesend, Kings County, New York. Anne (Unknown) and William Foster obtained a marriage license on 13 January 1679.
