The loose papers of my Uncle Thomas Dale Stillwell (b: Mar 8, 1925 d: Feb 4, 2004) are the best records available on the Stillwell family, and those notes about Edward Simco Stillwell are copied here. “Edward Simco Stillwell’s father was John Stillwell, born in Montreal, Canada. John Stillwell’s father came to Canada from Liverpool, England. John Stillwell’s wife, Elizabeth Popplewell, was born in Kentucky. She later moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she died in 1878 of yellow fever. Elizabeth Popplewell was married three times, first to a Kaufman, second to a Passmore, and third to John Stillwell. Elizabeth and John Stillwell had four children: (1) William, (2) Andrew or ‘Andy’, (3) Edward Simco, and (4) Marguerite or ‘Maggie.”
My mother, Marguerite Harriet Stillwell Couch’ first name is after her father’s sister, Marguerite Stillwell. John and Elizabeth Popplewell Stillwell were tailors. They made dress uniforms for both the North and South during the Civil War, which ended in 1865.
