Isaiah Stillman (1793–15 April 1861) was an
Black Hawk's Sauk Indian Band. The first armed confrontation would be named Battle of Old Man's Creek, but would later be named Stillman's Run
after him.
Isaiah Stillman was born and raised in the state of
Illinois militia.[1]
He was unable to recruit a full battalion, so he was made a major rather than a general. The next year after Black Hawk War, he was promoted to general.
He died in Kingston Mines, Illinois on April 15, 1861, at the age of 67. He is buried in Peoria.
