Quoting from J. E. Stillwell book on Stillwells:
"From 1812 to 1819 this country was in a most depressed state: the bottom fell out of everything as old Geo. Stillwell
expressed it. Lambs sold for $1.75 and calves for $5., and there was no market for produce. It was so discouraging that
many decided to move to the "new countries," a term vaguely applied to Northern New York (the Lake regions). and to Ohio.
Elias Stillwell. Jos. Stillwell [his brother], Talbot and Ware decided to emigrate and started with two large covered wagons from
Burlington County, N. J. When they got as far as the present site of Red Bank, the reports from the West were so
discouraging, that Jos. Stillwell [the brother] and Ware decided to go no further, but Elias Stillwell and Talbot continued on
their way. Elias Stillwell was accompanied by his oldest son Joseph, who was about 25 years old, and who had recently
married Miss Claypole, a remarkably pretty woman, living in New Egypt, and by his son Daniel, who was about 20 years old,
and single. This emigration occurred about 1818. Joseph Talbot, who had married Catharine Stillwell, had four boys;
one bearing the name James, and perhaps other children. They went with him."
