Captain Joseph Stillman was a minuteman at Lexington in 1775

General George Washington visited Captain Joseph Stillman's home "Stillman's Tavern" in Wethersfield, CT in September 1780 to meet with General LaFayette and in May 1781 to meet with Count Rochambeau

Historic Background to the Wethersfield Conference: In April 1781, the two commanders, General Washington and lieutenant-general Rochambeau learned that a French fleet under Admiral De Grasse was heading for the Caribbean islands. They scheduled a meeting for May 20 and 21, 1781, in Wethersfield, CT, to discuss a strategic plan for conducting the war. Generals Duportail, Knox, and Washington arrived early and established their headquarters at the Webb House. The following day they attended services at the Meeting House. The comte de Rochambeau and his officers arrived the next day around noon, staying at Stillman's Tavern. That evening, Governor Trumbull, Jeremiah Wadsworth, Washington and staff, and their French guests attended a concert given in their honor at the Meeting House. The two delegations met at the Webb House the next day. "Fixed with count Rochambeau the plan of campaign", Washington wrote in his diary. That night, Governor Trumbull, Jeremiah Wadsworth, Washington, Rochambeau and others enjoyed a celebretory dinner at Stillman's Tavern.
