A Brief Biography of Isaiah B. and Catherine Hess Stillwell Compiled by Joy Lewis, Historian of Richmond NY. Isaiah B. Stillwell I was a young man when he relocated from Massachusetts to the eastern part of New York state. A house carpenter, he moved frequently in his younger years. In 1804 he was in Herkimer County, where he married Catherine Hess and where their oldest daughter Rachel was born. By 1810 Isaiah and Catherine were living in Boyle (now Pittsford), where they stayed only a short while. He owned property in Henrietta which he sold in 1812 to James Tinker. (This was located at present-day 605 Calkins Road and is now the Tinker Homestead and Farm Museum. It was the Tinker family who, in 1830, built the cobblestone house that stands there today.) The Stillwell family were living on another property in Henrietta until about 1828, when they moved to Conesus where his youngest daughter Miranda was born. They came to Hemlock Lake in 1836. When Isaiah arrived in Hemlock, he was in his mid-fifties, the father of a large family. In the mid-1840s he built his family home. (Today this is the house at 4567 Main Street, Hemlock NY.) It was a practical house, two stories tall and three rooms deep: the parlor faced the road, beyond that the sitting room, and beyond that a large kitchen. There were narrow porches on both sides of the kitchen — north and south — and a third porch on the south side of the parlor. Off the sitting room, on the north side of the house, were two small bedrooms. Between the sitting room and the kitchen was a very steep, narrow, enclosed staircase. Upstairs were several bedrooms. The house was heated by cast-iron stoves in the main rooms downstairs; water was supplied by a well just steps from the back door. His heirs — the Stillwell children — sold the house in the summer of 1862 just after Isaiah’s death. |
