The rumor is based on the fact that W. WATSON HARRINGTON, a well known lawyer of Kent County has been getting options on some of the land there and that it is for the purpose of constructing a fort. The place is almost opposite Cape May and would make a second check on a foreign fleet in case that a fortification of some kind should be constructed at Lewes as was contemplated some time ago. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
