The purpose of this page is to present the family and four generations of descendants of Jonathan Tuttle Stiles (1783NJ-1859NY) and Anna Card (1794NY-1886NY). (This data only includes individuals born before about 1900.) Jonathan Tuttle Stiles was son of Timothy Stiles (1755NJ-aft1810) and Demaris Crane (1750NJ-aft1794). Anna was daughter of Benjamin Card (1754-1837) and Hannah Cummings (1764-1857)
Timothy's family, including Jonathan, (possibly including other Stiles') migrated from Morristown, Morris Co., New Jersey to Delmar Township, Tioga Co., Pennsylvania between 1800 and 1810. Children of Jonathan were born there from 1809 to 1833. Last record of Timothy known (to me) was 1810 census at Delmar Twp., Tioga Co., PA. Jonathan and family migrated to Woodhull-Troupsburg area, Steuben Co., New York ca 1819. (In 1810 was in Delmar Township, Tioga Co. PA census, in 1820 was in Troupsburg, Steuben Co., NY census.) Jonathan's family is #401 in The Stiles Family in America by Henry Reed Stiles (1895). His ancestors are given in that work*.
The family data below (Index to Persons/Index to Surnames) includes family and descendants of Jonathan's son David Stiles (1812PA-1895SD) and Clarinda Cummings Shaw (1817MA-1878MN). She was a daughter of Levi Shaw (-1839NY) and Phila Merritt (1793-1859). David's family is #404 in The Stiles Family in America by Henry Reed Stiles (1895).
David's children were born 1837-1851/3 at Woodhull, Steuben Co., New York. The family migrated and lived at Steuben Co., Indiana (1856-1858); Adams Co., Wisconsin (1858-1862); Sauk Centre, Stearns Co., Minnesota (1862-1880) and Roberts Co., South Dakota (1880-1895). Descendants of David remained in Minnesota after 1880.
There were other Stiles at Steuben County, New York at the same time that are not related to the above Stiles line. They are descendants of Robert Stiles born 1637 at Yorkshire, England; died 20 July 1690 at Boxford, Essex Co., Massachusetts. If there is a connection, it would be back in England. Many were in Massachusetts, New Hampshire (Hillsborough County) and New York (Steuben County). It is apparently just coincidence that they were in Steuben County at the same time. I may have more information about the families of this other line, but have not yet posted it. Most of it is already found on Rootsweb WorldConnect, but I may have a few more details.
Four generations of descendants of Jonathan Tuttle Stiles (1783NJ-1859NY) and Anna Card (1794NY-1886NY) from my database as of 09 February 2013. Data from my offline database was formatted into webpages using old technology and operating under the limitations of Comcast free user pages. Consquently, it is not a true, full online searchable database. These pages display only direct descendants of Jonathan Tuttle Stiles and their immediate spouses. It will not show indirect relationships such as other families of those spouses from other marriages, etc. Hopefully, something more comprehensive coming in the future.

As of February 2013, the "official" website of the Stiles Family Association appears to be stilesfamilyofamerica.org As of February 2013 the previous, limited version: "Stiles Family of America" at "http://www.psci.net/~rstiles" has aparently been deleted as this link no longer works.
The Historian of the Stiles Family Association maintains a database, has records and all things related to Stiles and collateral families, is interested in receiving any and all information about Stiles descendants and will answer inquiries. Previously Historian Leon Stiles, as of February 2013, the function is fielded by a Genealogy Panel which is described further at: The Stiles Family of America - Genealogy Panel which can be contacted at:
Historian emeritus:
Over the decades, various books, articles and other publications have been written about the Stiles families. I have not undertaken a systematic search for them all. The following are Stiles surname books that have been available in reprint from Higginson Books. (July, 1998) The out of copyright books (generally pre-1926) may be available as free downloads on the internet from such sources as Google Books.
The following are misc. citations to the Stiles surname from the Steuben Co., NY USGenweb page. Most are descendants of the Robert Stiles (1637-1690) line and are apparently not related to Jonathan Tuttle Stiles. The names that are unknown are Joseph S. Stiles, Helen Stiles, Merlyn Alfred Still, and Fanny Stiles (1817-1896) who married Socrates Cornell (1809-1896).
