Charles Stillman
Charles Stillman (November 4, 1810 – December 18, 1875) was the founder of Brownsville, Texas, and was part owner of a successful river boat company on the Rio Grande. He was born in Wethersfield, Connecticut, United States, to Capt. Francis Stillman and Harriet (Robbins) Stillman. He arrived in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, in 1828 and established himself as an entrepreneur. He was involved in cotton brokerage and real estate in addition to silver mines in Nuevo León and Tamaulipas. He married Elizabeth Pamela Goodrich of Wethersfield, Connecticut, on August 17, 1849, in Wethersfield. Elizabeth Pamela Goodrich was the daughter of Deacon Joshua Goodrich and Clarissa (Francis) Goodrich. Charles Stillman was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in New York, NY.
==Fort Brown==
Before the Mexican–American War the United States government was looking to build a permanent fort along the Rio Grande. Charles Stillman, having a deed to the land, offered to lease it to the government to build a fort on. This land was part of the Espiritu Santo land grant, but due to a complication involving the owners not listing the land with the Mexican or Texas government a land dispute ensued which reached the Supreme Court.
