Samuel Stillman

Dr. Samuel Stillman (1737-1807) was an American Baptist minister. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he married Hannah Morgan and took a pastorate in South Carolina for several years.

In 1764 he was one of the thirty-six founding trustees of Rhode Island College, now known as Brown University.

From 1765 Stillman was minister of the First Baptist Church of Boston, Massachusetts, until his death.

He was a member of the American Philosophical Society and was politically active as a member of the 1779 Massachusetts Senate Convention for the formation of the State constitution; and also for the 1788 adoption of the United States Constitution.
