Mobile, Miss.

The
Stillee
Baptism
1788 - In this year John
Stillee and Elizabeth (White) Hollaway Stillee baptized their children
in a Catholic Church in Mobile by Father Michael Lamport. The following
document is only the lower half dealing with Michael Stille's baptism.
The importance of this is that it identifies the remarried Elizabeth as
from the White family.
"On the seventh day of
November in the year 1788, I the pastor of the Parish of Mobile
(solumnly baptized) in the house of John Stilly Lee Paul Reuben, born
the ( ) day of may and Maria Sally, born the same day in the 1784 . "
[photocopy in Spanish, p 112, Catholic Church Archives, Mobile., AL,
1788]
" (The same day) solemn
baptism of Miguel Washington, born the 3rd of September 1786 " ]
" All are legitimate
children of John Stilly Lee and Elizabeth (Isabel) White
protestants, natives of America and inhabitants of the Tombigbee River
in this district. Witnessed by Canano Cantananes, Secristan. Sr. Miguel
Lamport" [photocopy in Spanish, p 113, Catholic Church Archives,
Mobile., AL, 1788]
The record in Spanish
is indexed to "Juan Hillery Lee," This is a mistranscription from a
very difficult to read page. It is interesting to note that Michael
Stillee is referred to as Miguel Washington here but afterward and in
the Stilley bible he is referred to as Michael Lamport Stilley. I still
don't know what other connection there may be to the Lamport family.
