Samuel Stillman (1737–1807) was an American Baptist minister. From 1765 until his death in 1807, Stillman served as pastor of Boston's First Baptist Church of Boston, Massachusetts; for these 42 years, Stillman was considered "the leading Baptist minister in New England, if not the United States."[1][2] Stillman was an original trustee of Rhode Island College (now Brown University) and played a leading role in the establishment of the Massachusetts Baptist Missionary Society in 1802.[2]
