Re: To George Dill Re: Solomon

george_d_dill — 2009-06-26 23:50:10Z

Dear Valda,

I have recently changed my e-mail address. I would like to stay in contact with you. Please contact me directly via my new address. It is [george.d.dill@gmail.com]. I hope that you have succeeded in finding a new job.

I am still researching my Dill ancestors. I believe I mentioned that I can find Solomon Dill (born circa 1756) in Kent Co., Delaware. I can also find the first Dill family in Kent Co., Delaware. It was John Dill (born circa 1675) and Sarah (maiden name unknown). They had five sons and each of the sons had a large number of children. But there were so many Dills born in between that I cannot tell which of the families that Solomon was born to. I also have the Calendar of Wills for Delaware but so far I have not puzzeled the information that I need out of that either.

I hope you are having good luck. With love in Christ,

George

Re: Mary COLLINS BARKER

rivertonrktkt — 2009-06-12 14:27:24Z

My family is also descended from Thomas Collins by way of his daughter Mary (Collins) Barker. I have some information on the family if you are interested.

Re: Mary COLLINS BARKER

rivertonrktkt — 2009-06-11 22:38:57Z

Hi smithm168 -

I hope you get this message and will reply. I am a descendant of Joseph Barker and Mary (Collins) Barker.

Mary Collins is the daughter of Thomas Collins and Sarah _________. Thomas Collins was the 8th President (Governor) of Delaware and was in office when Delaware was the first state to ratify the US constitution. He lived in Smyrna, DE at Belmont Hall (now owned by the State of DE). Mary died relatively young (at 30) from taking tainted medication for malaria. There is a mention of that in a New York Times article that appeared years later. I believe it mentions an inscription about her death, which appeared on her cemetery stone.

Joseph Barker was a delegate to the Delaware convention to ratify the US constitution. His signature appears along with Thomas Collins' signature on the ratification documents at the National Archive. After Mary died, Joseph remarried, first to Agnes Sipple who died shortly thereafter, and then to Marg(a)ret Laws. I believe Margret's father was also a signer of the ratification documents. Joseph moved (for a time) to Pittsburgh, PA, but ultimately returned to Delaware. He outlived all three wives - died in 1825 at the age of 70. Joseph and Margret are buried at Old Swedes Church Cemetery in Wilmington, DE.

Mary was buried in the family cemetery at Barker's Landing as were several of her children - Elizabeth, Sarah and Susan. Mary and Joseph had at least two other children - Maria (Barker) Stevenson - my GGGG-grandmother, and Thomas Collins Barker (a doctor). I think they may have also had another son, William Samuel Barker.

I have more information on the Barker family that I would be happy to share with you. I live in Philadelphia and have recently decided to document this family history for my young son, so was really excited to see your post. I would love to get some photos of the house and the stones and I know my many cousins would love to have them for their children as well.

Re: Bedwell

Not sure but an intersting note I have a Katherine Boggs who married Griffin Rash b. 1863. Griffin Rash's brother George Rash married Mary Elizabeth Bedwell (daughter of Preston Bedwell and Mary Elizabeth Leager). These Bedwell's changed their name to Biddle (not sure why). All of these families were from Kent County Delaware near Dover.

Re: Isaac or Andrew Hattabaugh

ELindbergh — 2009-05-20 20:40:09Z

I made a mistake about Sarah Evalina. She was born November 29th, 1818 in Salem ,Washington County, IN. She was the daughter of jacob Hattabough and his wife Jane Logan Spears, Hattabough. Sarah died January 19, 1835 at age 16. She is buried in Crown Hill Cemetery in Salem, Indiana.

Re: Isaac or Andrew Hattabaugh

ELindbergh — 2009-05-19 23:32:41Z

Warwick Hattabough had five children and he died in 1796 in Kent County Delaware and left a widow named Mary (Black). She married by 1797 a widower, David Maxwell, with nine children and they moved in 1800 to West Virginia. Her children with Warwick were Jacob, born in 1780, another boy and a girl, possibly Margaret, then a boy Andrew, born in 1790, (my line) and Mary born in 1792, who married Robert Lowther of West Virginia. Mary and David had four more children in West Virginia. Andrew married Drucsilla Arnold in West Virginia in 1810 and had Daughter Elizabeth in 1811, son Isaac in 1813, and then on the way to Indiana in 1815 he had a son Andrew. In 1820 he had a daughter Mary, and in 1822 a daughter Emily, and in 1824 a daughter Sarah jane, (my gggrandmother). In 1827 a son Bolivar then in 1829 a son Nelson A, who died in the Civil War 1863 in Atlanta, GA, the youngest son was George W. born in 1834, I also found a grave stone for Sarah Evaline, born in 1818 and she died age 16, 1835 in Greene County, Indiana, where her family settled and is buried near her possible brother isaac. Maybe she was called Evaline, because it seems strange to have 2 Sarah's in the same family.
Warwick and Mary's oldest son was Jacob Hattabough and he left home in 1798 for Kentucky, settling first in Maysville. He hunted and tanned pelts and furs. He was one of the first settlers of Salem, Washington County, Indiana. he married a wido named Jane (Logan) Spears. He assisted her father William Logan with the building of his fort in Kossuth. They had only one child live to be an adult. Warwick Jennings Hattabough. Their other children died young.
They were long time citizens of Salem.
Warwick's youngest brother Isaac followed young,Jacob, to Maysville, Kentucky in 1800 with his wife and three daughters born in Delaware. His wife was Ruth and daughters were Harriet, Eliza Dorothy, Sarah Ann. Isaac died in December 1801 in Maysville and in January, his wife Ruth gave birth to another daughter and named her Castilla.

Death Notices

BATES, Martin W., Hon., in Dover, 1 Jan 1869, in his 83rd yr (Delaware Gazette, 5 Jan 1869, page 2, column 7)

BATES, Mary H., in Dover, 10 May 1857, aged 69 yrs, wife of Hon. Martin W. BATES (Delaware Gazette, 15 May 1857, page 3, column 6)

Both are buried at the Presbyterian Cemetery in Dover, DE
Tombstone info is as follows:

Bates, Martin W.; b. 24 Feb 1786, d. 1 Jan 1869; husband of Mary Hillyard Bates

Bates, Mary Hillyard; b. 1778, d. 10 May 1847; wife of Martin W. Bates; dau. of Mary & Charles Hillyard.

Tombstone info was taken from the Kent County Cemetery Records book by Dill, Dill & Dill, so I cannot attest to its accuracy regarding Mary Bates death year.

Hope this helps.

Looking for info on Alexander Foren / Forin / Forrin born abt 1811, one census said 1810-1820 Va. one said NC. One of his daughters was born in Delaware. His father may have been Alexander born 1780-1790 VA.? Other given names of Foren men found in the same area as my Alexander are John; William; Moses; Solomon. I feel they are related, but not sure how?
The Delaware birth of his daughter has been the first clue as to where they may have lived, or been from. Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated, and I am willing to share what little I have.

Thank You

Re: Relatives of Kimmey, Jarrell, Calley, Laws

jrrobins1 — 2009-04-08 04:25:29Z

This was posted two years ago, so you've perhaps found this information already. You say that Mary Jackson Kimmey's grandfather was Elias Jarrell, of Kent Co., Delaware. There is a marriage record for Elizabeth Jarrell and Joseph Kimmey, married in Kent Co., Delaware, 3 Aug 1812. They are still alive in 1850, in Murderkill 100, Delaware: Elizabeth, aged 57, born about 1793, Delaware.

On familysearch.org, someone has listed Elias Jarrell's daughter Elizabeth (b. 1792) as having married Israel Peterson, in 1813 in Kent Co., Delaware. These are two different Elizabeths. Which is Elias' daughter? It sounds like your information is reliable, however.

I'm trying to sort out the relationships of these Delaware Jarrells, so I'd like to hear from you. I am related to Elias Jarrell, too -- somehow.

Re: Relatives of Kimmey, Jarrell, Calley, Laws

jrrobins1 — 2009-04-09 16:38:25Z

I'm very glad to hear from you! My research into the Delaware Jarrells so far hasn't gotten much past what's available on the internet. But it looks like they were all part of one extended family, even though some retained the name Fitzgerald.

My gggg grandfather was James Jarrell, who married Rachel Powell in Kent Co., Delaware in 1801. They moved to Franklin Co., Kentucky before 1804, joining some of Rachel Powell's sibling's families who had moved west shortly before. The Powells and some Jarrells farmed near what's now Willowgrove, Delaware.

James and Rachel named a son Elias, so there was some close relation to the elder Elias Jarrell, your ancestor. It could be that James was Elias' brother, or perhaps even his son, although their birth dates from the censuses put them a little too close in age. James Jarrell was born between 1766 and 1774, while Elias was born between 1760 and 1765.

In the 1800 census, Elias Jarrell is living in the town of Camden and has only one child at home, a daughter under ten. This would be your Elizabeth. He is in every census up until 1830, and died about 1839.

There was another Elias Jarrell who died in 1812. Some have thought that he was born in the 1750's and have given him various children. I haven't looked at probate records to see if this is more than mere conjecture, but the only Elias that shows up in the censuses is your ancestor who died in 1839. There is a very young E. Jarrell in 1810, just married, in St. Jones 100. This is said to be the place of death of the Elias who died in 1812, so I think this earlier probate record is for this younger Elias.

I'd love to hear from you if you turn up anything, or from any other Delaware Jarrell researchers. My e-mail address is jrrobins@uchicago.edu.

Aaron Morris & Son, William C. Morris, 1880 Census

kentuckboy97 — 2009-04-07 20:55:54Z

Aaron Morris was the head of household in Duck Creek, Kent County 1880 census. He was a farmer, age 75, born in Delaware, as were his parents.
William C. Morris, age, 34, his son, was listed as a Sailor.

There were others in the household with different surnames.
I would like to know who Aaron Morris may have married and did he have a son, named Aaron P. Morris, born in Delaware, who was 46 years of age, and was living in Berrien County, Michigan during the 1860 census? Aaron P. Morris was my wife's gr-grandfather and we have never been able to pinpoint who his parents and/or siblings were. Aaron P. Morris was married to Rebecca (Sale) Davis, the widow of Joel Davis. My wife's grandfather was William Reynolds Morris and was born in 1857, in Berrien County, Mi. I am trying to connect the Delaware Morris family with the Michigan Morris family. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you for you help! Dennis.

karilps — 2009-04-09 10:19:39Z

Hi there!! I wish I could tell you more about the Delaware Jarrells'. I did find out that Mary Jackson Kimmey's parents were Joseph Kimmey and Elizabeth Jarrell. Elizabeth was born 10-6-1792 and died 5-11-1866. Both she and Joseph are buried in Camden Friends Meeting House Cemetery in Camden, DE. Elizabeth's father was Elias Jarrell. I had no real proof of that until I recently came across an old newspaper article about my Andrew Jackson Calley (that married Mary Jackson Kimmey) and it does say that her grandfather was Elias Jarrell and that he was pretty well known in Kent County and that he was a prominent Quaker.

Mary Jackson Kimmey and Andrew Jackson Calley were my ggg grandparents, which would make Joseph Kimmey and Elizabeth Jarrell my gggg grandparents and Elias my ggggg grandather.

I wish I had more to tell you. It seems sorting out these Jarrells is not going to be easy, as there were quite a few in Delaware at that time, and apparently more than one Elias Jarrell.

I live in Wilmington, DE; which is only about an hour from Dover. I'd really like to visit the Public Archives building in Dover, because they say you can find alot of information there. And because they were Quakers, I'm sure there are more records somewhere, as the Quakers were known to have kept excellent genealogical records. Trouble is, online records for Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland are not very good...sketchy at best.

I'm hoping that since I'm off next week that I'll be able to take a day and get to Dover, because; like you; I'd love to know more about our Jarrells, Kimmeys and Calleys.

Feel free to email me anytime at: karilps@verizon.net

Take care, Kari

Hi Sue,
Andrew senior's arents are Joseph Nelson Buckmaster and Elizabeth Sickman. Elizabeth was born in Germany 1774 and died 1845 the same year as Joseph. There is a rumor that a Plague ran through northern Ohio and that is the cause of Joseph and Elizabeth's death. Theymaybe buried in a mass grave with other victims. I have not been able to find their graves anywhere. I do have her being the daughter of George and Sophia Sickman. I thought in George's will he listed he as Elizabeth Buckmaster.

Re: Dill Ancestors

markvalda — 2009-05-09 16:47:08Z

George, my visit to the Archives did not bring up anything to shout about however, negative progress is sometimes good. The Bible collection that is attached to the marriage records had the following Dill folders...1)Vol 87a folder #582 was listed as Dill family but actually was the Moore family with one Dill marriage in 1915. 2) Vol 87a folder #646 was a bible with copyright of 1843...and although it had some late 1700 entries there was not a Solomon. The Bible Records Collection RG9020 had Dills in folder 360 they were tied to the Killen family and were too late date wise.

Also I checked the following indices- General Reference, Biographical Reference, Small Manuscripts, and Kent County Orphan's Court (by child and dec'd). Nothing.

In your letter you did not mention land records. Have you tried that line? Also, what was the reason for the move from Delaware to Kentucky? Could it have been Bounty Land for Rev. War Service? Military records might have something.

I have to go back again this week and thought I would check early church records... Also, what is the best guess you have to the parents of Solomon?

Best regards, Valda

Re: Dill Ancestors

gddill — 2009-03-11 22:34:26Z

Dear Valda,

I just recently read a DEKENT-L@rootsweb.com e-mail where you wrote “I have researching this family for years. In fact I am working on 2 books at this moment. I am willing to share. Also worked for 3 years at the Delaware Public Archives.” I am very impressed by your resume for ancestor research. I also googled your name and found some even more impressive work activities in which your are currently engaged plus a reference to Jehu Davis where you are credited for doing much of the research and I noticed that Sarah Dill is included in this information. I did not want to e-mail or call you at your work telephone so I am trying via this means. Congratulations on all this good work.

My name is George D. Dill. I have been researching my Dill ancestors for the past several years. I have an 1879 biography of my great grand father, John Strange Dill, that says that his grand father Solomon Dill (born circa 1755) migrated from Kent Co., DE to Mason Co., KY with his family. I estimate that this migration took place sometime between 1776 and 1786. Fortunately this biography gave me the clue that my Dill ancestors came from Kent Co., DE for otherwise no one else in our family knew from where or when they came west.

I have visited the Delaware Public Archives twice in the past three years. From these visits I have the list of the probate records of the Dill family. In the archive I have found that John Dill and Sarah (maiden name unknown) were married on 7 April, 1702 and settled on land just a few miles east of Greensboro, MD which is in Kent Co., DE. Although I may be mistaken, I believe that John and Sarah Dill had the following five male children; Edward Dill, John Dill, William Dill, George Dill and James Dill. I have found no mention of female children but I assume that there were some. There are many Dill children mentioned in these probate records. Using the probate records I have tried to piece together the next two generations of the Dill family tree after John and Sarah as a way to determine through which of these second and third generation Dill families my Solomon Dill (born circa 1755) was born. I have also looked at the Tax Lists where I have found Solomon Dill listed as early as 1751 which is too early for my Solomon Dill. Then by 1767and several years thereafter two Solomon Dills are listed and by 1776 three Solomon Dills are listed. However, I can only find one Solomon Dill (born circa 1780) who married Rachel (maiden name unknown) listed in the probate records. This Solomon Dill is too young and it is believed that he migrated to North Carolina, not Kentucky so I do not believe that this is the correct Solomon for my family line.

I noticed Sarah Dill is mentioned in the Jehu Davis story. I believe that she was married to Thomas Davis and I believe that this Sarah Dill (see probate record 455) was the daughter of John Dill (second generation). We are probably very distant cousins.

I wonder if you could recommend how I could best resolve who Solomon Dill’s (born circa 1755) parents were and who his grand parents were. Perhaps there is someone who has drawn a family tree of these early Dill families or has old bible or church records that list the missing links between these many Dill families that I have found. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you.

With love in Christ,

George

Davis Family in Delaware

I am from WV so I need help from someone who know of Davis's from Delaware. All I know is that my ancestor's name is A R Davis and that he was born in Delaware and later moved to Marion Co (Monongalia Co then) WV (then VA).
I have actually found a Robert Davis that matches this description but have found no son of his that matches what I am looking for.
My great-great-grandfather, Abraham Robert Davis was born in Marion Co, WV in 1820 and from various sources I know that his father was born in Delaware with the intitials A R with his wife's intitial being M. I would place his birth at anywhere from 1780 to 1802. Any ideas?

Re: Kent Co. Ancestors

SueRife50 — 2009-04-07 17:42:45Z

Hello
I typed this up this morning.

Andrew Buckmaster born 1809-1812 in PA married Sophia Stoner (Steiner) born 1811 in Ohio and died
They had 11 children. My husband is related to their daughter, Elizabeth born February 20, 1835 in Ohio and died January 28, 1910 in Defiance County Ohio. She married William Bowman born 1831 in Ohio and died before 1870 in Defiance County Ohio. Their son, John William Bowman born October 1, 1858 in Defiance County Adams Twp Ohio and died July 2, 1911 in Indiana and is buried in Mt Hope Cemetery-Logansport, Indiana – Cass County. John William married Melvina Anne Walker born January 2, 1862 in Pulaski County Indiana and died May 12, 1954 and is also buried in the Mt Hope Cemetery. They were married March 9, 1881 in Cass County Indiana.

John William Bowman and Melvina Anne Walker had Oris Elizabeth born May 4, 1885 in Cass County Indiana. Oris married John Jacob Rife who was born April 3, 1881 in Cass County Indiana. He died January 17, 1954 and is buried at Mt Hope. Oris died November 19, 1968 and is buried at Mt Hope.

John Jacob Rife and Oris Bowman had Harold Rife born October 30 1909 in Cass County Indiana. He married Emily “Jane” Drake born March 9, 1917 in Estill County Kentucky. They were married July 13, 1941 in Cass County Indiana. They had Robert Thomas Rife, my husband.

An Andrew Buckmaster married Lydia McPherson on June 8, 1862 in Adams County Indiana. No mention of their ages. Karen Adams tried to find more info, but to no avail. I am trying to prove that this was Andrew Buckmasater junior born in 1835 and not Andrew Buckmaster senior born in 1809-1812.

I am trying to find out if one of the Andrew Buckmaster’s got divorced.

In the 1860 census I think I found Andrew senior living with John Florey in Defiance County Adams Twp Ohio. Sophia Buckmaster nee Stoner is living alone with the kids.

1863 Andrew Buckmaster is on the Jefferson Twp-Adams County Indiana tax list. He has no land, but is paying his personal property tax. In 1864 Andrew is living on 20 acres. In 1871 he has 40 acres. His brothers James, Joseph and David Buckmaster also lived in Adams County Indiana. James and David Buckmaster are buried at Loofborough Cemetery. A sister, Sarah Buckmaster married William Woodruff and her son, Andrew Woodruff also lived in the area.

Not sure if this is Andrew junior or senior. I can not find where Andrew senior or Andrew junior are buried. Karen Adams just went to the Loofbourrow Cemetery-Adams County Indiana and did not find Andrew’s grave. She said there is a grave site between the tombstones of David/Mary Buckmaster and William Hutchison Buckmaster that has a foundation piece but no upper stone. It’s placement would be in the correct time period. She worked from the DAR record of the late 1950’s as well as newspaper account, that would mean the tombstone has been missing for 60 years. Death records were not kept in Adams County Indiana until 1882. Karen found a death date of March 18, 1878. Again, is this Andrew senior or junior. Karen found a copy of Lydia giving the death date and stating that her husband’s property was not over $500. Karen could not find Lydia Cole’s (her last husband’s name) obit.
In 1870 census Adams County Jefferson Twp Indiana there is a Andrew Buckmaster age 59 (no mistake on that as written on census) – born in PA which would make his birth 1811. Lydia born in Indiana is 23 – birth date 1847. Children Isabelle age 8 – born 1862 (puts Lydia only 15 when this child was born), Ida age 6 – born 1864, Alveda age 4 – born 1866, John age 2 – born 1868.
In the 1880 census Lydia is 35 which means her birth date is 1845 in Ohio. She is living in the same place and now has Albert age 6 – born 1874 and Harmon age 1 – born 1879. Almeda age 13 and John age 11 are still living with her. Both parents are listed as being born in Ohio. Andrew junior was born in Ohio, but Andrew senior was born in PA. She is listed as a widow.

Lydia then married Henry Steiner October 19, 1886. They had one child, Volney Stiner B 1886. Then Lydia married Jasper Cole about 1888 and they were living in Mercer County, Ohio where Lydia died. Lydia Cole is buried in the Loofbourrow Cemetery.

Found child of Andrew and Sophia Buckmaster - Sarah Buckmaster b 1843 married Abraham Shoe born 1833 in Ohio. Married about 1869.
In 1870 Darke County Greenville Twp Ohio census I found them. 1880 census they are living in Darke County Mississineka Twp Ohio and Sophia Buckmaster nee Stoner is living with them. I found a Sophia Buckmaster in the1880 census Darke County Ohio age 68, which makes birth year 1812. She is widowed and was born in Ohio and both parents born in PA. Sophia Buckmaster nee Stoner is buried in Dininger Cemetery-Darke County-Liberty Twp.

I have the death certificate for Mahala Coleman nee Buckmaster (daughter of Andrew and Sophia Buckmaster) born September 4, 1847 in Defiance Ohio – died April 14, 1913 in Greenville Darke Ohio – age 65 y 7 m 10d. Married George Coleman who gave the information for death.
Father listed as Andrew Buckmaster – don’t know where born
Mother – Sophia Steiner (note spelling) born in Ohio
Buried Dininger Cemetery

Also death certificate for Hettie Smith nee Buckmaster (daughter of Andrew and Sophia Buckmaster) born August 16, 1846 in Defiance County Ohio – died April 19, 1913 Greenville Darke County Ohio – age 66 y 8 m 3 d. Information given by Mrs. George Dininger.
Father – Andrew Buckmaster born in Ohio
Mother – Stophia Steiner (again note spelling) born in PA
Also buried in Dininger Cemetery

Now onto Andrew’s parents
Joseph Buckmaster born 1774 and died 1845 in Holmes County Ohio
Married Elizabeth Sickman Stoner who was born 1774/1780 and died in 1845? I have a problem with her last name. Is it Sickman or Stoner/Steiner? I have a family group sheet from Karen Adams that states in the will of George Sickman it lists Elizabeth Buckmaster. However, I do not feel this is the correct Elizabeth. I have the will of George Sickman. It is dated May 1, 1816. That would put Elizabeth about 36 – 42 years old. Okay, now I can’t find why I think this, but I will address that later…..

I also found information from Helderberg Tallman’s Genealogy that states the following:
Lists name as Elizabeth Sickman Stoner. Said father was Nicholas Steiner/Stoner as listed from Buckmasters in America. This identification is solid since a Sophia Buckmaster is mentioned in the will of Nicholas Steiner Guernsey County Ohio 1845. Since Sophia, herself a Buckmaster, married a Buckmaster, it has to be this cousin John because he is the only with a Stoner in his line (his mother). – I can’t figure out what that means.
I am trying to get a copy of Nicholas Stoner’s will dated 1845. I also would like to get a hold of the book “Buckmasters in America: A Beginning” by Michael Mabrey. Does anyone have that book or have read it? Also the book “The Kindred Venturers: the history and genealogy of Peter Barnes (1744-1814) and related Families” by Shirley Moore. Has anyone seen this book?

I did find a Nicolas Stoner born 1779 died 1845 Guernsey Ohio and buried in Douglas Cemetery-Madison Twp. This could be a brother, but not father of Elizabeth. Did father and son die in the same year?

Does anyone out there have Elizabeth Stoner’s parents or siblings?

I do not have any pictures of the families we are talking about, but I do have pictures starting with John William Bowman. I would love any pictures I could get, especially tombstones, maps of where they lived etc.

Thanks

Butcher-Kent Co. 1680-1720

StephenDennehy29 — 2009-04-09 00:20:24Z

Seeking any mention of the Butcher surname in Kent Co., Del. 1680-1720.

An Adam Butcher transported to Somerset Co., Md. by R. Preston 1668, is probably:

Adam Butcher registered a cattle mark 1686-Kent Co.
Adam and wife Eleanor (Ellinor) had a son Adam b. 8 Nov. 1686 in Kent Co.

Above Eleanor (Ellinor) Butcher witnessed deed between Samuel Barbury / Barberry and William Berry 20 Mar. 1688/89.
This land was probably in Murderkill 100, Kent Co.

Samuel Wheeler of Cecil and Kent Cos., Md. mar. a widow Mrs. Butcher 1686-1693; he died 1694 in Kent Co., Md. This Mrs. Butcher had children by her Butcher husband : John Butcher b. c. 1675, Thomas Butcher, Michael Butcher, Mary Ann Butcher(mar. a Jackson by 1693) and Joan Butcher (mar. Robert Ireland 1704-St. Paul Par., Kent Co., Md.).
Above son John Butcher (b. c. 1675) had a daughter Eleanor b. c. 1712.
Was Samuel Wheeler's wife Mrs. Butcher Eleanor, wife of Adam Butcher ?

Re: Soward descendants

hmartinsoward3 — 2008-08-05 17:06:31Z

Hi,
I am very glad to hear from you. I think you are correct with the information you sent. George Soward/Seward and Eleanor Vanderford did have a son named Thomas. I have a copy of George's will which was probated in Kent County, Delaware. This George was a son of Thomas Seward as you indicated. This Thomas was married twice. His first wife was Susanna and his second wife was Rebecca. I note that you state that Susanna's maiden name was Tipford and I am very interested in learning the source of that information. It does appear that George was one of the older children of Thomas and was probably his son by Susanna. This Thomas was born 30 November 1684 in Kent County, Maryland, the son of Thomas Seward/Seaward and Lucretia (Lucy) Griffin. This latter Thomas was the immigrant ancestor arriving in Maryland in 1667. He lived in Kent and Talbot counties in Maryland and most of his property fell into Queen Anne's County when it was established in 1707. I am going to look through my files later today and see if I have something on the Thomas who you believe was the grandfather of James Powell Seward. I'll let you know what I find. I've been working on these families for over thirty years. If you would like copies of any of my records, I will be happy to share with you. Right now I am most interested in finding out the source on Susanna's maiden name. That's a great find.

Thanks so much for the time and effort you've put into assisting me. I definitely appreciate it!

Hi. Thank you very much for the checking you did for me. I certainly appreciate it.

I'm happy to report that the tombstone in question was located and photographed since I did my post here the other week.

Again, thank you very much for the sleuthing you did. It's wonderful how helpful and generous with your time you have been.

Best regards,

Odd Fellows Cemetery, Camden, Kent Co., DE, question. Cemetery is located on Routes 10 & 13.

DavidWilsonUSPL — 2008-07-12 14:28:02Z

Hi. I'm wondering if by any chance a book recording tombstone locations in Odd Fellows Cemetery in Camden, Kent. Co., DE (cemetery located on Routes 10 and 13), happens to exist, if any of you happen to have a copy of such a book, and, if so, if you will please do a location look-up for me.

I've just learned that my great-uncle and his wife are buried in that cemetery, but have been told it's a vast cemetery, which will make locating the tombstone(s?) in question difficult to do if no finding tool exists.

The name of my great-uncle was Thomas Wallace ("Wallace") KNOWLES (Aug. 1897 - December 1973), and the name of his wife/widow was Clara Elizabeth (nee Thompson) KNOWLES (Dec. 1897 - April 1982). A Find A Grave volunteer is willing to visit the cemetery and photograph the tombstone(s?) in question for me if I can inform them of the precise location. I thought asking people on this board might be the best way to get a quick answer, if such a book as mentioned above does exist. (I know that there are books of the nature I've mentioned that document cemeteries throughout Sussex Co.)

If anyone is able to answer with information about the requested tombstone(s?) location(s), please feel free to e-mail me directly at Genplant29@aol.com , so I can get back to the volunteer ASAP. If e-mailing me, please put "Odd Fellows Cemetery, Camden, request" in the Subject line, so I'll know your message isn't spam. Thanks.

Sincerely,

Dave Wilson

I visited the cemetary a few weeks ago, and sorry I did not see your ancestors there, but I did speak to the woman who keeps the records in the small building and she has lists of the tombstones, it's a little messy, but since the deaths are more recent she may be able to find them for you if you were to call.

Re: Spicer

Ralph_Spicer — 2008-07-14 17:33:46Z

I am a descendant of Lemuel Spicer. Although he was raised by Hales Spicer, Lemuei was a biological descendant of Joshua Edge or his brothers who lived in the lower DELMARVA region of Maryland at this time. This fact was discovered when I completed a DNA test in 2006. At this time, I am attempting to find Lemuel's birth mother and father. Do you know where there are some possible locations for revelatory birth records? Thank you.Spicer

Re: Soward descendants

jtlapoint — 2008-08-04 17:22:04Z

I am a descendant of George, I believe, however, I do not have definitie proof yet. I have a copy of letters written by a descendant of James Powell Seward which indicates James' ancestry was from Delaware and his father was George and his grandfather was Thomas. James Powell was born around 1795 (my guess) in Delaware according to his death information. He married Elizabeth Miller 9/15/1820 in Kent, Maryland. The marriage information indicates he and his wife were Quakers. I have yet to find information related to his birth other than the bible notes which indicate his father was George.

An ASSUMPTION I have made is that George was married to Nancy Ann Powell 2/2/1792 in Kent, Delaware. The obvious reason for the assumption is that James' middle name is Powell and he was born shortly after their marriage. The ancestry back from Thomas is George m. to Elenor Vanderford and then Thomas m. to Susanna Tipford.

Would like to exchange info with you and anyone else who may have information on this family.

Re: WM Gray

lilgraytree — 2008-07-11 06:48:59Z

I'm almost afraid to ask...Did your William Gray marry an Emily ? I have been looking for this couple for 3 years with no success. My William & Emily were living in Callaway Co, MO in 1863 when their son, Charles Henry Gray, was born in Calwood. Charles Henry was my grandfather, his son, Charles Glen Gray was my father.

I am certain there were other children but have no idea who they were. Possibilities are a Patrick and perhaps a Levi. These people seem never to have talked with each other very much because no one remembered anything about any of them. I am Glenna Gray, now the last with the Gray name, and there is no one left to answer questions about the family. All I have to work with are threads of memories, names which never meant anything to me in the past but that now fall into place and feel somewhat familiar. I have been able to reconstruct much of the family history except for this one line.
Chances are your Wm. is not my Wm. but I enjoyed the little burst of excitement. Please let me know...my personal email is much more likely to reach me than a post. chachipup@yahoo.com

missing Kent, DE ancestors

lilgraytree — 2008-07-11 05:39:44Z

Is anybody out there researching Sapps, Moodys, Williams or Grays? All these names started out in Kent Co. DE. but ended up in Callaway Co, MO.

Specifically, I am trying to find Ephraim Sapp whose son, Levi, married Trana or Traney Williams about 1802, Alexander Moody, (I'm not choosy on them, any Moody will be of interest) & William and Emily Gray. I know next to nothing about any of these people except they all are part of my lineage. After three years of looking, I'm beginning to feel a little frantic...talk about brick walls !

If anyone could help me out, I'd certainly appreciate it. Thanks...in advance.

Descendants of Nathaniel Killingsworth

khughes052000 — 2009-01-17 17:05:49Z

I am trying to locate descendants of NATHANIEL KILLINGSWORTH who died in Kent County in 1773. He was married to Elizabeth Anderson. Sons Anderson and John. Daughters Ann, Mary, Sarah, Rebecca, Elizabeth & Phoebe.

I am MOST interested in his son ANDERSON. I have no birth or death date on him. We are trying to either PROVE or DISPROVE that Nathaniel was the Father of an Anderson Killingsworth who was in TN in the mid 1700's and died in Roane Co., TN in 1824.

If there is anyone out there who has information on ANDERSON KILLINGSWORTH, son of NATHANIEL KILLINGSWORTH OF Kent Co., DE, please contact me directly, I will be very greatful !!

Kent County marriage records:

Samuel Leager m- Mary Jarrell 2/7/1831

Not sure if it connects to your Jarrells but it's the same place and time.

My great-great grandmother was Mary Leager who married Preston Bedwell in 1855 who later changed his name to Biddle for unknown reasons. Mary Leagers father was Samuel Leager and her mother's maiden name was Mary McBride. Maybe she was married to a Jarrell before she married Samuel Leager. They were also from Kent County Delaware.

Re: Deakyne Family

I had an uncle (my mother's half brother) named Ernest George Deakyne. He died in or near Tampa, Florida sometime in the 60s or 70s where he owned a bar with his wife Esther Miller Deakyne. He was born in Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware sometime in the mid 1900s to Florence Ethel Hudson and a Deakyne whose first name I do not remember.

Re: Jacob Jones

Joel1962 — 2008-10-15 17:39:57Z

This Jacob Jones was born about 1734 probably in MD or DE. He married Augustine Currer/Currier on 10 Dec 1759 and St. Mary Annes Church in Cecil County, MD. She died in Nov 1770 and Jacob married Rachel, widow of John Fields, around 1775. Jacob's will was proven in Kent County, DE on 28 Mar 1777. His known children (all with Augustine) were:
1. Jacob (17 Jun 1760-1855)
2. Millicent (14 Aug 1762-????)
3. Martha (1764-aft 1794) married Joseph Greenwood

Hugh Hazel & Ruth Kern(s)

PatriciaMaher29 — 2008-10-04 22:56:06Z

In my research, I found that possibly Hugh's father was born on the high seas, coming to America. Hugh was born in Dover, Kent County, DE, as far as I know. He married Ruth Kern(s) in probably 1830 or shortly before. Their first child, Isaac G, was my gggrandfather. Isaac was born in Orange Township, Richland County (later became Ashland County), OH, in 1831. Isaac married Margaret L. Rice (date unknown). They had several children; one was Ruby (sometimes records show her as a male and named Reuben), who married Everett E. Walker, in Amherst, Lorain County, OH. They had my grandfather, Clair Hazel Walker. I can add more information, but don't want to take up space and time here. Can add later, if anybody is researching same people and places.

Re: Fannie S. Herrington, need information

I am pretty sure I am. My paternal grandfather was Earl Herrington and I was told Fanny was a great Aunt(or something like that.)The Secretary of State info was what stood out in my memory.

Looking at the siblings I would assume that Earl's father was Chester or Lester. Earl was born in the late 1800's.

Have you had any luck with this? I have a John McCann, who died in 1899, but haven't gotten any more on him yet. He was a farmer in Kent county. I believe that he was Maggie Abbott's father, but won't know for a while. The Abbots, Theodore and Maggie, are buried in the cemetery at the Roby M.

Oh yes, Jacki Gray.

I didn't mention dates because I don't know many. Evidently, my forebears were a bit shy as well as frugal. I haven't found where any of them bought property, traveled, corresponded with anyone, sold or bought anything. They didn't seem to want photos of themselves either. I'm really kinda disappointed.
I know Levi Sapp & Traney Williams died here in Boone Co, MO, but they both started out life in Kent Co, DE. Levi's father, Ephraim Sapp, is the end of the line for them so far. I can only suspect he lived in DE since that is where Levi was born.
I can't wait to meet my relative from PA.

Thanks so much Cindy. Whether or not they all fit in, I certainly appreciate your help.

I have found Tharp citations indicating that Ruth was probably the dau of John d abt 1764 Mispillion Hd Ke DE where he owned property. He also had owned property earlier in Murtherkill Hd. His presumed dau Ruth m bef 1776 to Benjamin Long who died in 1800 near Selbyville in Sx. I am searching for where and when they were married. Was it in Ke? Did Benjamin (or his father David Long) ever own land in Ke?

David Long d 1791 Sx DE

marjeadams — 2009-01-01 20:42:59Z

Looking for this David Long in Kent Co. He left QA Co MD bef his marriage to Ann Lockwood in probably 1735 (noted in the records of, but not necessarily performed at, St. Martin's Episcopal in Worcester Co MD.)(He has been thoroughly researched in MD and Sx DE records.)There is a suggestion that he may have spent some time near Williamsville, Kent Co (not to be confused with Williamsville. Sx Co.)

I am also interested in the location of the marriage (abt 1758) of Jesse Newport to Elizabeth Long of David and Ann (Lockwood) Long. Their Newport children are detailed in the Duck Creek Monthly Meeting Minutes [Wright].
I would also like to know about any property Jesse Newport (or his father Thomas) may have owned or resided on in Ke Co.

I have little access to marriage or land records of Kent Co. I would appreciate a look-up from anyone who does.

"Hundreds" are somewhat like subdivisions, in hat they were groups of people in a certain area.

Little Creek One Hundred became part of Duck Creek One hundred, which is nowadays Smyrna, Delaware.

possible Dill connection to Lydia Barrett 1790's

PatriciaPattonTaylor — 2009-01-04 17:59:51Z

Some years ago I obtained a copy of the publication “New Light on Old Barratt’s” copyright 1984 written by Allen B. Clark and Jane Herson. In addition to a lot of history about the structure and the Methodist Church there is quite a bit of information on the Barrett and Sipple families. My line is with the youngest of the children of Philip Barrett, Jr. and Miriam Sipple, Lydia Barrett, who married Matthew Patton, Sr. Lydia’s birth is recorded, July the 6th 1780, in the family bible now on display in the Museum at Barratt’s. On page 47 a reference is made to Lydia during the Civil War when she was then an aged widow. “Aunt Lydia made her home with different relatives and in the course of yearly peregrinations; she arrived for a visit with a relative in the neighborhood of Barratt’s Chapel.” More details followed concerning her visit at the Chapel. This piece of information, or folklore, was footnoted: page 48, footnote 23. This tale has passed down to modern times from Mrs. Joseph Roop, who was the great-great niece of Lydia Barratt Patton, and was told to Jane Herson in July, 1983 by Mr. Millis Hurley, Milford Historian and a friend of Mrs. Roop’s daughter. I have always wondered if someone in this family may have other information to share about Lydia Barratt, information that would not have been included in the book about the Church history. If anyone is in contact with this Roop family or others that might know something about this I would love to get more information. Perhaps something more might have been archived in another location. I know that Lydia lived with each of her two sons, Matthew Patton, Jr. and Barrett Patton during some of the years after she was widowed in 1829 in Maryland. Evidently she must have spent time with some of her Delaware relatives too.

I believe Matthew Patten was married previously to Sally ? . There is a tombstone at Barratt’s Chapel for her: Sally, wife of Matthew Patton who departed this life Sept. 30th 1790, age 25 years and 9 months. Another researcher once shared with me that she had seen information somewhere that this was Sally Dill, but didn’t recall where she’d gotten that information. Does anyone out there have this connection, perhaps a Dill researcher?

The next piece of information that I have on Matthew Patton Sr. is a recorded sale of personal property in Caroline Co. MD. dated Dec.3, 1799. Matthew Patten to Benjamin Dill, of Kent Co. Delaware. In consideration 55 pounds bill of sale for furniture, 12 pairs of shoes, a carriage body and top. Acknowledged by John Bennett and Joshua Clark. Another Dill connection. I’m hoping that someone might have some knowledge of this Dill Family that might give me some more clues on this couple, Matthew Patten/Patton and wife Lydia Barrett.

Thanks, Patti

Hi Again
I don't know the timeframe where this NPE may have happened but found these today in Ed Wright's "Judgement Records of Dorchester,QueenAnne and Talbott Counties"
June Term 1744
p.42 Presented that Larany Spicer of Great Choptank Parish, spinster on 10 Feb 1743 committed fornication and begat a bastard child.7 lashes Fees of the court paid by Capt.Henry Traverse
p.43 Presented that Mary Spencer of Great Choptank Parish, spinster on 10 Feb 1743 committed fornication and begat a bastard child. 10 lashes.Benjamin Granger paid the fees[The name of the child is later given as Richard Spicer]
pg.49
William Travers surety to idemnify the county from maintencance of the bastard Child of Larany Spicer.
IS it possible that Hales Spicer is descended from one of these two women or their children?
If so Hales Spicer might have DNA different from other Spicers..
dunno as I have not looked at this.

kathlingram — 2008-07-15 15:58:08Z

Hi Ralph
Looking around at this I see your Edge family may be in Dorchester or thereabouts. My Carrows are there and also in Queen Anne MD and Kent County DE..sometimes almost simultaneously.
I do have some books I could look up and work with a very good very reasonable researcher who has most of the MD records.
Let me know the year range and I will look..you can e-mail me privately kathlingram@yahoo.com .I would start with the Edge's and their neighborhood on Census and Tax lists at Maryland Archives and possibly Delaware also and try to find Spicer family in close proximity.
Lucky for you the Edge DNA is so conclusive.

Re: Spicer

kathlingram — 2008-07-15 15:19:02Z

Delaware Archives is very user friendly and can be accessed via computer. The downside of that is that there are many things that they do NOT know they have..as they rely heavily on the card catalog.
You could e-mail them and ask for Lemuel Spicer birth.
If that does not pan out ask for children of Hales Spencer and see if there is a list of members of that family.
Also of course ask for Joshua Edge family records. With any luck you will find a piece of information which will move you forward.

Have you tried the website Find A Grave? There is a listing for Moors family cemetery in Little Creek Delaware. From what I can see, the actually cemetery, may be on Dover Air Force Base property or on the State Wildlife Refuge area. According to the Find A Grave site, there are 4 names, someone has documented. It may take me a couple weeks, but I will try to get out there and take a look and see if I can find out who has the authority to let me in the gate. I can attempt to take photos.

If you go to the site, you can register and then click on request a photo. Someone may be able to get to the cemetery sooner than me.

Hope this helps

My dentist and his dentist son are Deakynes. I belive my son has an appointment with hims in the next couple weeks. I will ask him what he knows about his family history. As for Deakyneville, it really doesnt exhist. It was a community, not a town. No stores, no postoffice, just a few houses. In this tiny state you drive down the road and when you get to a stopsign you see a sign that has a name of a community that once was. It is part of Dover, Delaware. I will try to get out there and see if there is a sign, if there is I will take a picture.

Susan Kirby was my Gr grandmother, although I never knew her. I have more on the Kirby line I've found primarily from rootsweb, & a few census records. My Aunt Lillian Phelps Coverdale Pearson received the bible from Peirce Cummings, who's mother was Gertrude Coverdale the dau of George W.

Soward descendants

hmartinsoward3 — 2008-04-12 19:53:13Z

I am searching for any descendants of the Soward family of Kent County, Delaware. George Soward died in Kent County between 1776 and 1778. On 21 April 1737 he was married to Elenor Vanderford in Queen Anne's County, Maryland, which was probably his place of birth as well. George's parents were Thomas and Susanah (maiden name not known) Soward/Seward of Queen Anne's County, Maryland. George's will indicates he had the following children: Thomas Soward, George Soward, Susanah Shahan or Sheehorn, Sarah, and Rebecca. Also mentioned in the will are a granddaughter named Sarah Swift and a granddaughter named Elenor Thomas. Other legatees in the will include George Soward son of the testator's son George and still another George Soward, son the the testator's son Thomas. Would like to exchange info with any descendants.

Re: Sarah Howren / Jonathan Ozment

RBurlingame1 — 2007-09-18 01:05:22Z

Here is something that may help from Ancestry Weekly journal

Great-Great-Grandma Was an Indian?
by Paula Stuart Warren, CG

After my 2 July column on the 1880-1940 U.S. Indian censuses at Ancestry.com, I received many questions about tracing elusive American Indian ancestry. While I can't answer each of you personally, the basic steps and tips below should get you started.

Perhaps you have a family legend that Great-great-grandma Pearl had Indian blood. Usually the story doesn't share a clue whether that blood is from her maternal or paternal side. It's important to note that a specific tribe will not have a master index of anyone who ever had that Indian blood. Nor will the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). There is no "master index." So, how do you go about solving this mystery?

1. Get back to the basics. Most basic research steps apply to any ethnic background. Take classes, read a guidebook, and attend genealogical society educational meetings. Genealogy software programs such as Family Tree Maker 2008 are a boon to keeping track of family details.

2. Work from the present to the past. Begin by contacting your immediate and extended family. You never know who might have family pictures and papers, or know of others who do. You will be linking each generation back in time and proving the connections. Check Ancestry, other online sources, and library catalogs to see if someone has done previous research on parts of your family. Those Indian censuses that Ancestry has posted should be checked for ancestral non-Native American surnames in case you find some possible ties to check further.

3. Place your ancestors in a time and place. Determine this via the records that all family historians use. Include censuses; obituaries; military pension, service, and draft records; and records relating to birth, marriage, and death.

4. When you place your ancestors in specific geographic areas, read a state, county, or town history. What Indian tribes were in that place at that time? Histories also tell of the forced removal of Indians, some to very distant locations. There may be some separate published histories of those tribes that refer to the place where they migrated from.

5. Check for church records. A marriage, burial, or christening entry might yield a special notation that gives a clue to Indian heritage. For each piece of information or copy of a record you obtain, be sure to add a notation that tells you where it came from, (e.g., Aunt Susie Griffin, Ancestry.com, Green County Courthouse, Family History Library, or some other place/person). Add the book, page, microfilm #, or other identifying information in case you or others need to double check that item.

6. Work on the entire family in each generation. You might find that four sisters and one brother were always listed as white. BUT the second brother or a cousin is listed as "I," "In," or even as black or mulatto on the 1900 and 1910 federal censuses. What did that branch of the family know? Do any family members appear on the special Indian schedules for these years? Check for all related surnames in Native American censuses.

7. Did they live within an Irish, Swedish, German, African American, or other community? They may never be listed as Indian. Perhaps they hid that heritage because they were frightened or knew that housing and jobs were more difficult to obtain if their Indian heritage was known. People that did not live as part of an organized group of Indians are often more difficult to trace. The BIA has not had interaction with every group of Indians.

8. There are many records specific to North American Indians that may apply if you can make some family connections to a tribe that had interaction with the federal government. Check libraries and bookstores for guides and online resources. Here are a few places to start:

The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy, rev. 3rd edition, Chapter 19, Native American Research, by Curt B. Witcher, MLS, FUGA, FIGS, and George J. Nixon (Ancestry, 2006.)
Guide to Records in the National Archives of the United States Relating to American Indians. (National Archives and Records Service, 1981.)
Native American Genealogical Sourcebook. (Gale Research, 1995, out of print).
The Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico (Smithsonian Institution, Bureau of Ethnology, out of print.)
How to Research American Indian Blood Lines: A Manual on Indian Genealogical Research. (Heritage Quest, 1987.)
Records of the Department of Indian Affairs at Library and Archives Canada: A Source for Genealogical Research. 2nd edition. (Ontario Genealogical Society, 2004)
Earlier Records
If you have proof or even a suspicion that your Indian connection is before many written records exist, the diaries of other area residents, records of religious missionaries, area histories, and town records are just some of the possible items to consult. Don't forget that Indians were the original settlers and later settlers encroached on their space. Neither the Bureau of Indian Affairs nor its predecessors were always able to record information about Indians. A christening or marriage entry in church records might mention the words "Indian," "Native," or other term. The local pastor, storekeeper, or other person might have kept a diary and mentioned the Indians in an area. Determine what missionaries were in the area, whether they were connected to a specific denomination, and where possible records such as diaries, christening, marriage, and correspondence are located today.

One last tip--spelling does not count in genealogy. Stand up and shout this to the world. You will find many variations in both the Indian and other name spellings. Indexes and transcriptions of records may not have been clearly read by the indexer.

Too often genealogists feel stymied by a search for a newly discovered ethnic heritage. Keep this is mind: Research is research. Learn the basics, search all records, and learn about the other records that pertain to that heritage whether it is Indian, Norwegian, or Polish.

Re: Sarah Howren / Jonathan Ozment

RBurlingame1 — 2007-09-15 19:26:48Z

Sarah Howren did not have any Indian ancestry, as far as I am aware.
Her father was Benjamin Howrem amd he was not Indian, and did not have Indian ancestry.

Her mother was Margaret Lynchcom. I don't know anything about her ancestry. She was born in Maryland and she could have been Indian, but is seems doubtful to me.

I don't know anything about the Ozmont's.

They lived in Guilford, North Carolina. I don't believe this was Cherokee country.

Of course, Charles Ozmont could have been adopted.

Can't answer your question, but you might try Maryland records. I found this in History of Delaware, CHAPTER LXIII, MISPILLION at this site:
http://www.accessible.com/amcnty/DE/Delaware/delaware63.htm (which also mentions several McNatts):

"EARLY SETTLEMENTS.— The first settlements in this hundred were made in the northeastern part, and consisted of emigrants from the early settlers on the bay-shore and river. The southwestern part was not settled until seventy-five years later, and then upon patents granted by Lord Baltimore, who, prior to 1763, claimed all the greater part of the present hundred south of a line drawn from Whiteleysburg to Staytonville. These grants were taken up by the early Maryland settlers, some of whom had been land-holders in Maryland for years before migrating to Delaware."

There is a Will for a James Hardy b. about 1714 to 1756 in Worcester County,Md posted on Roots that mentions a Matthias Jones married to a Temperence Jones. Grandchildren or chlidren or children dependng on two different postings are William and James. There version of Temperence is also off. Temperence is probably the one on the LDS website as being born 1725 to James Hardy and Eliz his first wife.
Another website for a Thomas Marvel also mentions this family. The key is Matthias owned land in Nanticoke in the 1783 Tax Assessment of Somerset which might be on what is now called Duck Creek in Delaware.

Hi Robert--

I wonder if you can help me. Your ancestor Sarah Howren married mine, Jonathan Ozment. All my life I was told that their son Charles was Cherokee. Do you know anything about this? Was either Sarah or Jonathan Cherokee Indian?

Thanks-
Rita

Re: Sarah Howren / Jonathan Ozment

IBTeacher — 2007-09-16 14:00:18Z

Thanks, Robert. Charles' great-granddaughter met him several times, and she claimed (she's now deceased) that he was a Cherokee. My grandfather, his grandson, claimed the same thing. He apparently spoke of the Trail of Tears, and how his ancestors broke away from the group and hid in the hills (of Tennessee, I think), eventually settling in Indiana.

I'm confused. All my life I thought I had a little Cherokee blood, and now the research isn't supporting it!

Best,

Kent County locations

jeanneflowers — 2007-03-19 18:03:31Z

I'm planning a trip to Delaware next month, and I'm looking for a history buff in Dover or thereabouts who would be willing to help me locate old plantations on a current map. Names have changed since 1700! Still would like to see where these places were. Wonder if the Delaware Archives helps with this sort of thing.

Research at Delaware Archives in Dover

jeanneflowers — 2007-09-28 23:16:07Z

I'm looking for someone to do some research at the Archives for me. It involves locating Freeland's Branch on an old map, which I know they have there. My guess is that Freeland's Branch is a branch of St. Jones, but I'm not certain. It was in Dover Hundred as of 1742, when Maskell Clark sold to William Ware part of a tract called Maskell's Choice near Freeland's Branch. This Branch is mentioned in other records as well.

Re: Jones Family in Delaware

jeanneflowers — 2007-09-28 23:05:19Z

Very early on (1682) in Kent County land records there is a Daniell Jones, "of Stockton upon Tiago in the Bisshoprick of Durham." (Kent County, Delaware Land Records, by Mary Marshall Brewer, v.1, p. 15, pub. by Family Line, 1996. There is also a Daniell Toaes at the same time. Whether these are the same person or were just confused in the records is unknown. However Jones was a large landholder. Sorry, but I don't know who his descendants were.

Cemetery near Dover Air Force Base

ehwilson65 — 2007-08-08 18:33:33Z

Hi,
I would like to know if anyone could possibly help me with information regarding a small cemetery located on Rt. 9 south behind (East of) Dover Air Base. It is located a short distance south of Little Creek, Delaware. It is surrounded by chain link fence and the gate is locked. I am assuming it is part of government property.
I am interested in the names of the persons buried there. There is 5 grave markers visable from the road.

I am also looking for my Moor/Moore ancestor's family cemetery that is listed in the Dill's books as being at the end of rd. #335 north of Little Creek Delaware. I had tried to find its location without success while vacationing in Delaware last week.

I would surely appreciate any help with either query.

Dover DE program to feature RevoWar expert

DelawareDolores — 2008-02-11 15:54:06Z

On Monday, February 18, the Central Delmarva Revolutionary Round Table welcomes Dr. Jude M. Pfister at Sorrentino’s Restaurant. This is at 518 South Bay Shore Road, Dover (on the west side of 113, where it divides from route 13).

At 6:00 p.m. is a self-treat, optional dinner. Dr. Pfister will speak about 7:00 on History, Myth, Memory, and the Pennsylvania Line. The Continental Army spent the winters of 1776-1777 and 1779-1780 around Morristown, New Jersey. The first mass immunization against smallpox was there in 1777, and the 1779-1780 winter was the severest of the 18th century. These two facts sharply contrast with the almost limitless myths and lore that permeate the Morristown story. Dr. Pfister wrote:

"I am particularly interested in how memory played a part in the development of the Morristown National Historical Park. Morristown was the first historical park in the National Park system and on March 2, 2008, the park will celebrate its 75th anniversary . . . I will provide a brief overview of the two (actually three) encampments and then talk about the problems with folklore in the context of the PA line placement. Early in 2007 we completed work on an extensive archaeological assessment of the PA line area and found that the site was not where the legend had placed it. "

After graduating from Delaware State University with a B.A. in History (1991), Jude earned his M.A. from Washington College (1993) and his Ph.D. from Drew University (2007). He has worked as a curator and historian for the National Park Service since 1993. He currently is Chief of Cultural Resources at the Morristown National Historical Park where he oversees the museum, library, and archival programs.

Thanks to Dr. Jack Gardner for the above description. If readers can come to Dover earlier, and want to research at the Del. Archives, I could meet you there.

Re: Jones Family in Delaware

Joel1962 — 2007-09-14 16:43:03Z

Jacob Jones' will dated 28 Mar 1777 lists the following children:
John Jones
Jacob Jones
James Jones
Samuel Jones
Enoch Jones
Joseph Jones
Millicent Jones
Martha Greenwood, wife of Joseph Greenwood.

The family lived in Duck Creek Hundred, Kent County, DE. Jacob's widow was named Rachel and she was the widow of John Fields. After Jacob's death she married Solomon Barnet. Rachel was not the mother of Jacob's children.

An unconfirmed source states that his first wife, and their mother, was Augustine Currer/Currier who died in November 1770. Enoch was born October 24th, 1770 and supposedly Augustine died from complications of that birth.

Probate records in Delaware Archives

niceday2222 — 2008-05-16 16:31:53Z

I have found probate records at the DE. State Archives. One is 16 pgs and the date of the record is 1881-1889. The other is 20 pages and dates 1826-1869. Neither probate record contains a will. The Delaware Archives wants to charge me for all 36 pages. I don't understand how there can be so many pages in a probate record covering so many years...especilally since the deceased were poor renting farmers.
Can anyone explain what might be in a probate record that is 16 or 20 pages long and dates 1826-1869. Thank you, JOY

Re: Cemeteries around MILFORD

mhatfield01 — 2007-10-19 14:02:58Z

Hi Tom,

I did a quick search of the cemeteries covered in "Tombstones of Sussex County". One public cemetery close to Milford is the Lincoln Public Cemetery, where the earliest death I could see by glancing through the listings was 1866, which is after the date you are looking for. Without actual facts, my feeling is that you should look for the churches that were in existance at that time in that geography, or any related families that Albert might have been connected to. It appears that many folks in the Milford area were involved in farm-related occupations, and not really well off financially. Keeping that in mind, there is a higher likelihood of Albert being buried somewhere on the property or in the church cemetery. The closest names to "Newsome" I could find were "Newcomb" and "Newsham" - both buried in Henlopen Memorial Park in Rehoboth. If you know Albert's occupation or church affiliation, that might be a trail to follow. Sorry I cannot be of more assistance.

Best regards,

Marshall

Re: Lurty Surname

dftucker — 2007-02-24 20:44:47Z

This is an old post but a name that has come up in my research. Mordecia Lurty b. June 1848 lived in Blackbird Hundred, Delaware (New Castle County) in 1900 and his wife was always listed as Sarah b. 1847. They were married 28 years in 1900 and Mordecia was alone in 1930; age listed as 81. They had a number of children and my grandmother, Emma Colwell (Caldwell) was living with them - I don't know why. She was 13 years old at the time and listed as a boarder.

According to Mordecia's granddaughter's obit, she was raised on a family farm in Blackbird. He listed his place of birth as Delaware and Blackbird is not far from Kent County.

The ones I know of are: Jeremiah Nickerson, Nathaniel Tomlin, Nathaniel Hall, Michael Stuart, James and Mercy Griffith, Robert Eldredge, but there are apparently others I've missed. The above were all from Monomoit--now Chatham. Elisha and Isaac Snow from Truro also came. Not all stayed in Kent Co; it appears the Griffiths returned after a year?

Looking for Mrs. Joseph Roop or her family of Milford, De. 1983

PatriciaPattonTaylor — 2008-01-22 00:33:12Z

Information that was included in the publication "New Light on Old Barratt's", about Barratt's Chapel, has me wondering if this family may have additional information on Lydia Barratt, the wife of Matthew Patton Sr., who was also a daugher of Philip Barratt. Mrs. Roop referred to her as "Aunt Lydia" and was to have been her great-great niece. I am a direct descendant of Lydia & Matthew and I am wondering if this Roop family may have any more old stories about her life other than the one published in the book. If any one knows how I might contact this family it would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Patricia Patton Taylor

I have traced my family back to my ggg grand parents Solomon Dill (b ca 1760) and Sarah (I think her maiden name was either Loftis or Burton). Does the Loftis family tree have a Sarah that married Solomon Dill in Kent Co., DE?

Re: BURTON/OLDFIELD

gddill — 2007-02-10 23:48:55Z

I am researching my Dill ancestors of Kent Co., DE. I have found the names Loftis, Burton and Oldfield married to Dill daughters in their histories several times. My ggg grand father Solomon Dill (b circa 1760) in Kent Co., DE was married to a Sarah (do not know her maiden name). I am wondering if Sarah was a Loftis, Burton or Oldfield. Can you help with this question? Thank you for your help.

I am also related to John and Sarah Dill of Delaware who were married in 1702. I have a 1879 biography of my great grand father John Strange Dill that says that his grand father came from Delaware. So I have researched the Dills of Delaware back to this couple. However, I need to have information for two generations between John and Sarah Dill and my ggg grand parents. Can you be of any help?

According to a file in the Delaware Archives ((L-99) ) they ceded their land to a William Manlove. Do you know of William Manlove in the early 1700s in Delaware.

I do have an Amelia Carter that married Thomas Dill in Kent Co., DE in the late 1700s. Thomas is the son of John Dill and Letitia Carpenter. This John Dill is the son of Edward Dill and Rebecca Stradlley of Kent Co., DE. This Edward Dill is the son of John Dill and Sarah _____.

Re: BURTON/OLDFIELD

gddill — 2007-03-27 18:01:55Z

Dear Peggy,
Thank you so much for the information on the new book and about Solomon Dill and Sarah Scully. The line of Dills that you have listed goes as follows:
Generation 1) John and Sarah Dill (married 1702)five boys
Their children are Edward, John, William, James and George
Generation 2) William and Mary Early Dill (married ca 1726)
Their children are Job, william, John, James, Elizabeth, Joseph, Sarah, solomon, Rebecca and Philemon. I am not sure about their order of birth.
Generation 3) Solomon and Rachel Dill (married ca 1760)
Thier children are Solomon, unknown
Generation 4) Solomon Dilland Sarah Scully(married ca 1800)
Their children are Solomon, Burton, John and Lydia.

I have a copy of the will of my gg grand father Solomon Dill who's wife was Sarah (maiden name unknown). Their children are John (b 1781), Nancy Minor (b 1783), Benjamin (b 1784), Henry (b 1786), Abner (b 1790) and Elizabeth Reese (b 1790). I know from a biography that this Benjamin moved from Delaware to Mason Co., KY with his family when he was young (circa 1785 to 1790). So Benjamin's parents, Solomon and Sarah (maiden name unknown), must have been married circa 1780 and this Solomon Dill must have been born between 1750 and 1760. The Solomon Dill who married Sarah Scully that you list from the book have children with different names that those that are in the will that I have a copy of. So there must have been another Solomon Dill. I am still looking to find the right connection.

I will get the book for my files and read it to see if I can resolve this ancestry line.

Thanks,

George D. Dill

I just returned from the Delaware Archives. They have maps for Murderkill Hundred for sale there that are dated in the 1800s. Just ask the clerk inside the archives and they will get you these maps. They also have some land surveys of individual plantations from as far back as the early 1700s. You have to look up the individual names for these surveys.

I have some of the Dill family information from John and Sarah Dill (married in 1702)and their five male children, Edward, John, William, James and George. I believe that they also had some daughters but I have not found any information about who they may have married. During my research I have seen that several times the Loftis, Burton, Earley and Oldfields have married Dills as well as many others marrying Dills. If this information would be useful to you please e-mail what you need and I will give you what I have. Good luck.

Re: Jones Family in Delaware

I am reading your posts with interest. My Harriet Jones Carrow is born c. 1816 and dies in 1885.Vern Skinner has been looking for her parents for me with not great
success.They are as elusive as my Carrow family.."shy" you might say..
I do have this much:
Joneses on 1820 in Duck Creek Hundred: Abel, Benjamin, Caleb, Caleb (2), Jacob & Mary, James, Jonathon, Lodeman, Perry, Samuel,

Benjamin, Jonathon or Samuel could be mine..These clues:
William B.Jones is living with Harriet Jones Carrow & John Carrow in 1850 census.In 1860, there is a Samuel M. Jones (age 39) living in Duck Creek. In 1870, he is near William B. Jones..

Also Harriet Jones Carrow names a son Theodore and I think she has a brother named that..possibly actually B.T. Jones which may be Benjamin Theodore
Jones..she also may have brothers William and Samuel..those names repeat in our family..

Benjamin Jones and Samuel Jones marry what appear to be sisters or at the very least cousins Susannah and Elizabeth Doney is 1790. The Delaware Marriage Collection at ancestry.com is wonderful.

Re: Jones Family in Delaware

Thanks for the reply. The Enoch Jones I am looking at was 85 yr old in the US Census 1850. He was located in Knox Co, IL. He stated that he was born in Delaware. I don't know how many children he had. I believe he had at least one son Thomas J Jones born in VA born abt 1812-1815. Enoch's first wife may have been Ann Griffin. This is not for sure. His wife in the 1850 census was Jane born abt 1786 PA.
That's about all I have. I know there were more than one Enoch Jones in Kent Co, Delaware but I don't know if the IL Enoch was one of them.
I am trying to connect Enoch Jones with a Benjamin Jones.

I also have seen information that says Zeal(?) was born in 1778 in North Carolina. Being only a 29 year span and I believe that Zeal's fathers name was Samuel I just wonder if this Samuel was one of the sons of Jonas of Delaware.

It is very helpful in describing the relationships of all the family members and is thoroughly documented. Maybe you can find the information you need in it. The book is published by Colonial Roots in Lewes,DE.

Re: BURTON/OLDFIELD

PeggySezna — 2007-03-26 17:26:46Z

I have just discovered a book published in 2006 by Ralph and Catherine Beverly called Colonial Families of Delaware, Vol.9. It contains an entire section on the Dill families of Kent Co., and is an excellent resource. Regarding Solomon Dill: The first Solomon Dill (1732-1783) mentioned was the son of William and Mary. William's will was dated 1760.

Solomon married Rachel (N) and their son Solomon married Sarah Scully (dau. of John Burton Scully.)

Solomon and Sarah (Scully)Dill had sons Solomon, Burton and John and daughter Lydia.

Sarah's father, John Burton Scully d.1792. The names of some of his heirs were daughters Sarah Dill, Mary Dill and Lydia Oldfield. Grandsons were Burton and Solomon Dill (Sarah's sons.)

I have tried to mention only the surnames you mentioned in order to keep this message short, but I think this book would provide you with a number of links you are searching for. I found it in a catalog from Colonial Roots in Lewes, DE. Please let me know if I can help you further.

Joshua Lister of Odessa, Delaware

jameslisterjr — 2008-02-22 14:37:31Z

The original creator of my Lister family is a
man named Joshua Lister who was born approximately
1740 and he died in 1819 in the St. Georges Hundred
area of New Castle County, Delaware. It was adjacent
to the Appoquinimink. Joshua Lister resided very close
to the wheat-shipping port of Odessa, Delaware. He was
a wheat farmer. At the time of his death in 1819
Odessa, Delaware was called Cantwell's Bridge. It had
approximately thirty houses and a post office.
Currently in the present year of 2008
Odessa, Delaware is a historic town for tourists and has
a population of several hundred people.
Joshua Lister had the following children: Timothy,
Mary, James, Henry and Joshua. He married
Nancy Hartshorne in Caroline County, Maryland in the early 1790's. It is highly likely that either Joshua Lister
or his predecessor ancestors immigrated to colonial
Delaware and then into Caroline County, Maryland from the
Yorkshire, England area. It is also highly probable that
Joshua Lister has relatives currently in and surrounding
Dursley, England in Gloucestershire County.
Joshua Lister's family was strongly Methodist. It is
likely that he is buried in a Methodist cemetery in
or surrounding Odessa, Delaware or its nearby environs
of Middletown, St. George, Townsend, Blackbird, etc. in Delaware. Kent County, Delaware records show that he
was not buried in that county nor was he buried in
Caroline County, Maryland where he maintained a farm
during the Revolutionary War. His physician at the time
of his death was Odessa, Delaware physician
Arnold Naudain who was later to become a Delaware senator.
Joshua Lister's grave digger was Phillip Brannock.
Almost all Listers who have ever resided since
pre-Revolutionary War times in Kent County, Delaware and
Caroline County, Queen Anne's County and Talbot County, Maryland are biological members of my identical Lister family. There have been only a very few exceptions to this general rule.
Can any one tell me precisely where my Joshua Lister
ancestor and his family is buried? It is also possible he may have been buried in an unmarked grave. Also, does any Lister family historian/researcher know where my Joshua Lister's farm(s) were located around Odessa, Delaware and in Caroline County, Maryland?

Surname: Jarrell

suenstu — 2008-03-03 23:45:52Z

I have a James Jarrell of Delaware as part of a distant family tree. This information was given to me by letter back in 1996 and no source was listed with it. The only information I have is that James Jarrell was born circa 1841 and died in 1904. He was married to a Clara Short who was born in Delaware circa 1859. The nearly 20-year gap between their birth dates might mean that Clara was a 2nd wife, but that's just a guess on my part. Sorry I can't be of any more help.

POW/MIA Korean War, Kent Co. PERNELL

raysestak126 — 2007-05-20 12:38:18Z

Soldier: JAMES PHILLIP PERNELL
Born: October 24, 1931, Black
Date of loss: Feb. 14, 1951, Prisoner of War (POW)

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are two families in Delaware that have not been located. There is one family from Kent County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

Need Yearbook Lookup from Delaware State University 1961-66

jodad1911 — 2008-04-07 05:09:24Z

Need someone to do a yearbook lookup from the Delaware State University. These two attended Delaware State University app. 1961 to 1966. They both later moved to California and became teachers. The names were Joseph Miller (He was called Joe)and Beverly Marie Nicklas.
It would be nice if I could obtain a copy of their pictures from their College years if possible.

I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks,
Jo

My aunt was Edythe Coverdale. Her father was Edward J. Coverdale. She had a twin sister Evelyn who died 13 Dec 1931. They were born in Connecticut, (mother's maiden name was Edythe J. Ennis,) but moved to a farm in Houston, DE near Edward's family. Mary "Edith/Edythe" was born 18 Aug 1905. She married Roland Melvin and had 2 sons. If this is the same Coverdale let me know; I have more.

Re: James BOYER

shrust — 2008-06-16 17:48:25Z

Do you have any further info on Martha Ellen Coverdale? I am researching the Coverdales of DE, and they are found from Wilmington to Lewes, DE. My gr-gr-grandfather was from the Duck Creek HD. area. He had brothers Purnal, (moved to IL,) Jeramiah, Jacob, and Major, (not sure if this was truly his name, but was listed as Major in his
father's will.)

Luke begat Luke W., and George W.(my gr-grandfather, and his son was Edward Jackson Coverdale.) Any connection?

Re: Duck Creek, Kent County Cemeteries

Do you possibly have any Coverdale/Coverdill s listed? Luke Coverdale and wife Jane Wright were from Duck Creek Hd., would appreciate any info on them, Kirbys, Jacksons.

Re: Duck Creek, Kent county??

shrust — 2008-06-16 16:59:18Z

Hope you are still checking the boards. I just read this. Hollywood Cemetery is just east of Harrington, DE on Rt. 14, Milford-Harrington Hwy. I visit it on occasion as my grparents and an aunt are buried there. Which Messicks are you looking for? I know there is a John Deere Taylor-Messick business located in Harrington, and they have opened a small museum. They are on 325 Walt Messick Rd. and their phone is 800-237-1272. Calling them might be a longshot, but since it's an old Kent Co. family it might yield some info.

Re: Cemeteries around MILFORD

The DE Archives in Dover,DE has many books listing cemetary tombstones (so do some websites,)and also has listings of birth, death, and marriage dates by name in card indexes. If you can't get there, I can look for you the next time I go, (don't go as frequently with high price of gas, but may get up there in July) If you live in DE many public libraries have a Delaware room where they keep old books and record that frequently include churches with cemetary listings,and check the Milford, or "Journal Every Evening" newspaper obits on microfilm.

Re: Kent Co. Ancestors

Have you also researched Cordrey? That's the only recent spelling in DE. There are lots of themin Sussex Co. Though so far I personally have not found a family connection.

Re: Parrott Kirby Family Bible

shrust — 2008-06-16 14:40:23Z

Thanks so much for the Kirby info. She was my gr-grandmother, and I had little on her side of the family other than her mother and father's name, and that he owned a large ship building business in Talbot Co, MD before moving to DE. Do you know if Michael is his father?

Susan m: Covington first, then Geo. Coverdale, my gr-grandfather. My aunt has also let the De Archives copy from the Cummings family Bible, which has Covingtons, Coverdales, and Cummings.

Looking for information regarding Caleb Seacord found in the South Murderkill Hundred in 1900. He is listed with wife Annie and David, age 19, William age 15, Charles age 13, James age 11, and Blanche age 9. Caleb is listed as born in NY and the rest of the family is all born in Delaware.
Wife's maiden name?

Re: Jones Family in Delaware

nlyyoung — 2007-10-17 01:52:10Z

We are searching for the same family!!

Enoch Jones was born Feb 11, 1768, and died 26 Jan 1851, according to his tombstone. He married (1) Ann Griffin, probably in Kent Co. DE, around 1795-1798. Their first son and 3 daughters were almost certainly born in DE, and all together, they had about 15 children, of which I have documented 6 and have some reasonable guesses on 3 more. Some of these children might have died in infancy. Enoch & Ann's daughter, Hester b. 1814 in (W)VA, was my 3-great grandmother.

Around 1800, they removed to Monongalia Co. (W)VA, where Enoch had previously (c1798) purchased at least 400 acres. He was a justice of the peace while living there.

Ann died in May 1821, and by 1823, Enoch and his family were in Gallatin Co. KY, where he married (2) Sally, the widow of Joseph Holliday/Haladay. I strongly suspect that Enoch & Sally had met previously - before they both left Delaware. Sally had 4 children by Joseph Holliday, and Enoch & Sally had at least one more child.

About 1824, this large family removed to Sangamon Co. IL, where Hester married George David Simms in April 1832. By 1840, many of Enoch's children and related in-laws were living in Knox/Mercer Co. IL, according to census data.

It is not clear to me that Enoch was married to the Jane "Jones" who was enumerated in his household in 1850. Their age difference was quite large, 21 years, and I wonder if this Jane might not have been one of Enoch's children or perhaps the wife of a deceased son.

In all of my research on Enoch Jones, I too have run across Benjamin Jones. Enoch's father, also named Enoch, did not mention any Benjamin in his will, and I have not found any connection between this Benjamin and my Enoch. There is a chance that Benjamin might have been a cousin to my Enoch's father, but I have not yet been able to identify Enoch the Elder's brothers & sisters.

This is just a summary of the information that I have on Enoch Jones & his family - I am always happy to share.

He was Matthew "Matt" Ford, The ground was left to him by his father Presley Ford of Smyrna, Delaware.
Let me know who you are researching maybe I can help.

Any progress here? Was Mary Elizabeth AARON a daughter of John and Mary Ann AARON? She married Thomas MUNCY and they had 3 sons, Thomas Jr., John and William. The familial naming (John being the 2nd son for Mary Eizabeth's father) might suggest a connection? Thomas MUNCY's father is sometimes referred to as Thomas MUNCY the elder with Thomas MUNCY Jr's father being Thomas MUNCY the younger. Thanks. Trian

Re: COLESCOTT PRIOR TO 1805

Yes, that's my line. Daniel married Eleanor and had Ann & Thomas. Ann married Edwin Melvin and had John & Edmund, Jr. Thomas md Catherine Forcum and had Thomas, Jr., William, Elisabeth and John.

Thomas, Jr. is my line. His daughter Rhoda married Ralph Colescott.

Re: James "the immigrant" Jarrell (1735-1802);???>De

I find Jarrell in 1690 and 1695 in Kent County DE..
"James FitzGerrell witnessed the marriage of Richard Glover and Mary Winsmore on 29 Dec 1690.
Deed of gift 10 Dec 1695 Thomas Bolstock of Kent County PA planter for naturall Love ggod will and affection to my lovinge son-in-law Edward Fitz Jarrell of same planter..being 200 acres where Thomas Bolstock now lives called Chester."
Most likely Thomas Bolstock was stepfather of this Edward.
From Kent County DE Land Records volume1 1680-1701..available at Colonial Roots Publishing..
James would not have been the immigrant as they were likely here by 1684 as Thomas Bolstock was here 1680.

Re: Kent Co. Cemeteries - Wilkinson

2006-07-05 14:28:46Z

Hi Erik,

I searched my copy of "Souls in Heaven, Names in Stone - KENT COUNTY, DELAWARE, Cemetery Records" for your Wilkinson ancestors. There is one cemetery with "Wilkens," four cemeteries with "Wilkerson," five cemeteries with "Wilkinson," and once cemetery listing "Wilkison." The closest matches to your request are:

1) J. Marion (M.D.) Wilkinson: b. 10/04/1850, d. 08/22/1898; husband of Mary Ellen Frazier Wilkinson; section 2 of the Lakeside M.E. Cemetery in Dover, East side of N. State Street and Silver Lake. There are nine total listings, including Harry, Horace, Howard, William C., Delia B., Edith A, Irene B., and Mary Ellen.

2) James H Wilkerson, b. 10/13/1862, d. 05/24/1924, husband of Annie E, along with 10 other Wilkersons buried in the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Milford, located between Walnut Street and Rt. 113.

Remaining Wilkinson listings included: Clara E., Ralph, Robert B., and Annie (wife of John D.).

You may have to broaden your search to include other Wilkinson variations, and narrow your requests a bit to include middle names, possible towns within the county, and time frames if possible.

If I can be of further assistance, please advise.

Best regards,

Marshall Hatfield

Re: Daniel KELLY and Elizabeth THOMPSON

2006-06-19 13:41:21Z

The Daniel Kelly in my files was born in North Carolina about 1790 to Dennis Kelly and Elizabeth Thompson.

DENNIS KELLY was born 1758 in KENT or Sussex County, Delaware. Dennis fought in the Revolution with the Delaware troops and ended up in NC at the end of the war, then moved on to Wilson Co. TN by 1815. I do not yet know the parents of DENNIS KELLY but he was probably related to the Kent Co. DE Kellys.

Re your Noah Kelly
The book, "Marriages of Wilson Co. TN, 1802-1850", by Edythe Rucker Whitley states:
1. Noah Kelly married Hannah HICKS July 8, 1806 with Richard HICKS as bondsman.
2. Noah Kelly was the bondsman for the marriage of James HICKS and Tabitha Standeford March 2, 1806.

It is my feeling that Noah and Dennis were related, but cannot prove it.

In "Calender of Kent County, Delaware Probate Records 1680-1800." It has Reuben CAIN as an heir in his father John's Administration dated 18 Nov 1794. There also appears to be 2 or 3 young children.

I question how Reuben could be b. about 1796 & d. 8 Apr 1864, at age 67. This does not add up.

All of these Andersons seem to be descended from a Thomas Anderson, d. ca. 1732 in Mispillion Hundred of Kent Co., DE. I am an Anderson who has a McGonigal connection and there was a Robert McGonigal in the same area that was married to a Rachel Fleming, widow of Joseph Fleming. After the death of Rachel Fleming McGonigal, Robert McGonigal married a Hessy Law, daughter of Bolitha Law. Ezekiel Anderson married another daughter of Bolitha Law. I am especially interested in Robert McGonigal and any children that resulted from the marriage to Rachel Fleming, where Robert McGonigal came from i.e. where he lived prior to Kent Co., DE, parents, etc.
Regards,
Brian

Hi,

Anyone out there knowledgeable about 19th century Kent Co., DE law? Under what circumstances would a man be forced to pay the state a sum of money if he DID NOT marry a certain woman? Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

From my records, I have that Arthur H. Walls had a sister Elizabeth. Could she be the "Lizzie Walls?" I have also seen somewhere (but right now I am not sure of the source) that Arthur's sister Elizabeth married a William Potter. Email me directly if you think this matches what you have and I will try to verify that that Elizabeth Walls was the one who married William Potter.

Re: Isaac Freeland - Colonial Delaware/Philadelphia
Stephen Freeland - d 1708/9 Balt Co MD, brother

Hi Jeanne

Will be happy to give you my Isaac Freeland info.

Earliest records seem to be a William Freeland and Isaac Freeland in the DE Tax Assments of 1693

A William Freeland is buried in Philadelphia in 1698. He was married to Mary Hall, Quaker, and had a daughter Rebekah; his first wife is said to be Susannah Richardson of John by whom he had daughter Susannah Freeland m 1704 Timothy Hanson, Jr. of DE. Freeland's last wife is Esther Wilson.

Then it seems an Isaac Freeland, Jr. is said to be married to a Mary Mason of Michael Mason d 1732 Kent on DE (no good source)

Next, a DE Bible record from the Manlove family reports
a James Freeland with wife Hannah (Manlove it is assumed) has these children:

Isaac Freeland b 18 Mar 1722
James Freeland, jr. b 18 Sept 1724

James Freeland is recorded below:

Calendar of Kent County Delaware Probate Records 1680 - 1800
page 55 Freeland, James.Yeoman. Admin. of, to Hannah Freeland. May 27, 1728. Reg. of Wills, Liber G, folio 13.

The Freelands appear to be located in Duck Creek Hd.

A John Freeland is said to be son of Isaac, Jr. and said to have gone to York, PA bordering Baltimore Co by one of my notes...

This is very general...I will send you any notes....I will also check my Flowers files....pat

There is a William and Ann in Little Creek Hundred in Kent Co with a son William age 4 (could be him)...

Re: Poore or Marsteller of Kent Co close to Smyrna

Mildred, wife, 17, DE DE DE
May Marsteller, mother in law, 31, DE DE DE
Elmerte (sp?), sister in law (meaning Mays daughter), 8, DE DE DE

In 1920 I can find May as follows...

Webster Marsteeler, 23, PA PA PA
May, 22, DE DE D E
Mildred, 4, DE PA DE
Mary E, 8 months, DE PA DE

Obviously something happened to Mary E and the husband...

Lastly...doing a quick check of the name May in 1910, i can only find 4 that were born in DE in approximately the right year...these are May >> Applegate, Samons, Sharp, and Wilson.

Good luck...

Not an answer but an idea...

2005-09-27 12:54:31Z

First I assume you have the 1850 census data...if not let me know...

Just looking at where they were in 1850, which is Kent County, I looked for other PURNELL's listed within 10 yrs of his birth year...there are only three males by that last name in Kent within plus or minus 10 yrs...2 named John and one named William. Perhaps William is a brother ? The Johns seem hard to believe they would be brothers given his name (Jonathan)...

As for parents, here's some that could be them listed in Kent County with pre1800 birth years...

Isaa 1784
Isaac 1798
Elizabeth 1798
Letta 1797
Rachel 1795
Thomas 1791

Of course this assumes one of his parents might be alive by then...

Based on the 1820 census here are potential candidates...

Edward, Sylvester, Thomas, William

That is my mother, yes I'm his aunt and I will mail him information sometime this fall about the Stonekings. I have a lot to input before be for mailing information. Hope everyone is doing well.

Re: Duck Creek, Kent County Cemeteries

2005-09-02 15:04:43Z

Thank you David for your efforts which I appreciate very much.
As with most of the earlier cemeteries -- they've either been vandalized, abanded or dug under. I really need to find a property deed (if still in existence) in order to tie down the exact location as the family could very well have been buried on the family farm.

As to your question of religion -- wish I knew for certain what religion John Willey practiced as an untitled Christian lay minister. Could be Methodist -- as his daughter, Anna Stacia WILLEY and husband Shadrach POSTLES migrated to Franklin Co., Prairie Twp., OH and together with neighbor Henry Clover, Sr. of VA started the first Methodist Faith meetings ever held in that vicinity. They first shared their respective homes -- then built log cabin churches, that were used as school houses during the week. Son-in-law Israel P. Brown (also of DE) taught school at Shadrach's property location and Peter Clover, son of Henry taught at his family location as early as 1817.

Again, thanks for the quick reply.

CHARLES SPENCE - speed bump in the road of research

2005-06-25 21:17:09Z

I am seeking information about Charles Spence (b. 178? in DE). Charles lived in Milford Hundred by 1830, but I do not know his parents' names. I have a hunch that his father may have been William or John Spence from the same area, but have no evidence of that yet. I believe that he had a sister named Sarah. Prior to 1830, Milford Hundred was part of Mispillion Hundred, I believe. He had two children, of which I am aware, named Benjamin D., and Elizabeth. Charles married Rachel Davis (b. 1792 DE) in 1824.

In 1847, Benjamin D. filed for guardianship of his sister Elizabeth in Orphans Court. The court records mention her being alone; however, Charles and his wife Rachel are not deceased and did not pass until after 1850.Charles and his wife's situation during this time is also unknown.

By 1850, Charles lived in Wilmington with his son Benjamin D. and his wife listed all in the same home, and appears in city directories until the later part of 1857.

I have found the cemetery where Charles's son, grandson, and wife are buried, but he is not listed among them on the cemetery records. According to a Davis family Bible, Charles's sister Sarah, married into the Postles family and had a son named, Charles Spence Postles.

Recently, I found an entry on Ancestry.com stating that Charles Spence, born in DE, was in the War of 1812. I am currently pursuing that lead.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to discover who Charles's parents were, so that I may continue to add to my family tree and possibly become a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Thanks so much for your time and help!

Located in Duck Creek Hundred, Kent Co, DE 1810 and 1840 census as well as in estate papers for his father in law Elijah Consellor. Consellor also spelled in many different ways in even in the estate papers. Debrix and Sarah had 6 known children Josiah, Maria (Benj. Hughes), Elijah, Rachel (Benj. Greenage), Enoch (Phoebe Carney, and Robert (Mary Ann Dean). Enoch and Phoebe was my husband's 3 G Grandparents. Phoebe's parents based on her 2d marriage record were Thomas Carney an Sarah Hughs (Hewes, Hughes). Thomas is found in Kent Co, records giving a desposition in the death of Jesse Dean killed by a tree.

Hi Gayle,

My Reuben Cain was a brother to your Hasty Cain. My Hudsons are from Nova Scotia, so are not related.

The following is the information on Reuben Cain:

REUBEN CAIN, son of JOHN CAIN and TRIPHANA ( CAIN), was born in Delaware circa 1796. REUBEN died April 8, 1864 Kent County, Delaware, at age 67.

He married twice. He married MARY ELIZABETH CONDON circa 1824 in Delaware. MARY was born circa 1796 in Maryland. He married ELIZABETH LANGRELL June 28, 1862 Kent County, Delaware. ELIZABETH was born 1824 Kent County, Delaware. ELIZABETH was the daughter of WILLIAM LANGRELL and PHOEBE SCOTT.

REUBEN CAIN and MARY ELIZABETH CONDON had the following child:

- MAJOR G. CAIN was born circa 1817 and died before 1880.

REUBEN CAIN and ELIZABETH LANGRELL had the following child:

- SAMUEL CAIN was born in Delaware circa 1861.

I am descended from Major G. Cain.

Re: Re: Cain Family

WHudson1061 — 2006-06-17 15:16:24Z

Re: Reuben Cain:
In 1812, Reuben was still a minor according to the Kent County, Delaware Guardian Accounts. Elijah Sapp was the administrator for John Cain's widow Triphana (Elijah was her son-in-law). In the letters of administration, Triphana is referred to as "guardian to Reuben Cain minor, of John Cain."

In the 1850 census, Reuben was living in Kent County, Delaware. He was listed as 54 years old (circa 1795/6 birth).

In the 1860 census, Reuben was living in Kent County, Delaware. He listed as 65 years old (circa 1794/5 birth).

Birth record has not been found and the census may be wrong, so birth still needs research.

Hi Diana,
Since I wrote that message, I learned that 1673 was the year the original land warrant issued to the Hammons NOT the year Edward Ratledge lived on the land called Castle Haven.
Thomas Passwater died about 1695 and his orphan(s) placed in care of Edward Ratledge. One Jonas Paswaters (now of Kent Co., DE) sold the land called Castle Haven in 1733 and that deed traces the previous owners of the land.
I'd be glad to share what I've learned about this earliest Passwater found. I've never learned who the other children were besides Jonas, but the name appears in Kent and Sussex Co., DE mid 1700-1800's and from on there several families identified who moved on West to Ohio and Indiana especially.
My only connection is through the Ratledge. No one has come up with Thomas Paswater's will or probate or any court record there in Somerset Co. to show why Edward Ratledge was named guardian.
Anyway, write to me direct and I'll send you my notes on Thomas Paswaters. Too lengthy to put here.

Looking for a Salathiel Newnam, Newnham, or Newman, born ca 1732. He may have lived in the Kent Co., Delaware area 1760-1790s. He had sons, Elijah, Peyton, Nathaniel, John, and Edward. Any small lead or indication of any of these people would be greatly appreciated. - Bill Newman

Newnam

Wnewman106 — 2005-11-13 18:13:54Z

Kent Co., DE - I correspond with several people who are trying to put together the Newnam/Newnham/Newham/Newingham/Newenham/Newman families. We all seem to go back to a John Newnham in Talbot Co., MD, but there are a lot of loose ends such as Benedict. Stay in touch and we'll all compare notes.

Kent County. Seeking information on JOHN HOLYDAY or JOHN HOLYDAY, JR., of Duck Creek Hundred, mentioned in Philadelphia County will in 1741. Wish to know if these people could be related to Henry HOLADAY, born est. 1720-1724, m. to Mary Fayle, Old Swede's Church, 1746. Henry lists residence as Chester Co. PA, but can find no record of him or any Holyday/Holaday/Halliday that appears to be related to him. Wondering if the above mentioned Del. Holydays could be relatives. Please respond if yes or no. Thanks.

Edgar W. Buchanan

GeorgeNParker — 2006-06-20 09:32:32Z

I am seaching for any information on Edgar W. Buchanan. He was born in Spruce Pine NC about 1903. I do not know when he moved to Dover DE. Evidently, he was a prominent citizen of Dover. He owned and operated 2 stores - Buchanan Service, Inc. He was a deacon in the First Baptist Church as well. I am not sure but I think his wife's name was Madeline. He had a sister, Mrs. Queenie Rose, from Tampa FL. He died of a second heart attack on 14 Nov 1969 and his funeral service was held 17 Nov 1969. He had a daughter Mrs. Joshua M. Twilley of Dover. I am trying to clear up a family mystery concerning 2 Queenies and also the relationship between Edgar Buchanan and my family line. My mother had his obituary among her things when she passed away. Her mother was a Buchanan from Spruce Pine NC.

I will appreciate any help that anyone can give me.
Thank you for your time.

Could anyone give me any ideas how to find out who James B Greenwood parents were ,his date of birth or death or any facts other than he married Sarah Ann Hurlock 1/23/1841 and did not use initial B then .They were married in Kent Co Md.I have copy of chancery court where he and Sarah were suing other relatives over sale of her fathers farm it was in Md was Ling Bam Farm, Blackistons Farm. His name at that time included the B I have searched Del. and MD Archives under James and know no more than these two things I knew already and that he as born on Del was on sons death certificate. The census on Ancestry has a James B Greenwood listed living in Little Duck Creek in 1842 but can not be shown.Since they had a son Frank Hurlock Greenwood that year it might prove to be him.Is there anywhere else you can get that census.I live out of state so everyting has to be done by mail.Also 1960 census has Sarah not loving with James she is in MD living with son.Thanks for any helpElizabeth
