Henry Reed Stiles (March 10, 1832 - January 7, 1909) was an American physician who wrote several historical records and genealogical books.  As a doctor, he served in various medical positions primarily in New York City, although he spent four years in Dundee, Scotland.  He was very interested in genealogical and historical research.  As of 2011, his work (including The Stiles Family in America, Genealogies of the Connecticut Family, and The History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut) continued to be widely cited by researchers and remained in print more than 115 years later.
