DEDICATION
TO THE MEMORY OF DR. JOHN E. STILLWELL AND HIS WIFE ELIZABETH GILLIES, MY DEVOTED PARENTS, THE RECOLLECTION OF WHOSE LIVES OF PATIENCE, INDUSTRY AND THOUGHTFULNESS HAS GIVEN THE ENCOURAGEMENT TO PRODUCE THESE VOLUMES.
PREFACE
THESE records were brought together from time to time during Summer vacations and represent both drudgery and pleasure. Originally the plan was to write a history of the Stillwells, but before long it was realized, that, if it were to be complete, it must include their intermarriages. The broadening of the scope of the book necessitated such oft-recurring references to old records that it became more expedient to copy them verbatim than to consult them at a distance.
Further it was impossible to resist the mute, but urgent, appeal of these old papers to save them from complete extinction through time and vandalism. Thus it was the records accumulated. Then it was decided to print, that the material might not be lost and that it might be accessible to others. Five volumes will be produced ; a second volume being now well under way.
The work is essentially a reference one and appeals alike to the sociologist, genealogist and historian. It tells of the great simplicity of early life, the necessary frugality of the people and the hardships of the early settlers compared with the splendor, prodigality and ease of the present day.
The labor has been great, and, alone, in the midst of a busy professional life, it would have been difficult to complete had it not been for the assistance of my friend Harrison A. McNear.
JOHN E. STILLWELL.

* A volume among the early records in the county clerk's office, Richmond, Staten Island, N. Y., is marked Record 1680 Richmond County.
Its sheepskin covers are loose, its pages quite worn, and its destruction well advanced. It represents what I am disposed to think is Liber A. of the county records, though it is not so marked. If this book be not it, then that volume is missing. It is a matter of tradition in this office that the first volume of records was taken to Albany very many years ago, to be used in a law suit; that failing to be returned it was sought for and the county officers were informed that it had long previously been forwarded. It was then thought that it might have been left at New York, but here it also was unsuccessfully sought. Since then many efforts have been put forth to find it and all probable places searched without avail. It is possible that there is another volume, but I am half-persuaded that the one here reproduced is the so-called missing Liber A. The contents at once suggested it as a town book for the whole Island, as also a county book. It contains the records of the town court, early road surveys, cattle marks, and miscellaneous matter, all of considerable interest and importance. J. E. S.
