-
Peter Windamute (1752-1830) built a stone house around 1791 in Stillwater. Sussex County records indicate that Peter held Black people in slavery in his household in the early 19th century.
Peter was the son of Johan Georg Windemuth, one of the German founders of Stillwater. The family is more commonly known as Wintermute in the Stillwater area (the family name spelling has many variations).
Peter's historic house is largely intact and is now part of a private property known as Bonnie Brook Farm. It is located on Route 521 (Maple Avenue) near the Old Stillwater Cemetery. - Locality
