Jacob Davis Babcock Stillman (1819–1888) was personal physician to Leland Stanford, the first governor of California. He is "'credited with counseling Mrs. Stanford sufficiently so that after eighteen years of marriage, she bore a son, Leland Jr., in whose memory Stanford University was established by his father.' The nature of this miraculous counseling is not specified."
