Jean, Any possibility that the "HALLIDAY" family from Chester County, PA are related to your HOLLIDAYs from Kent County, Delaware? I have a William HALLIDAY as a neighbor of my ancestor Anthony Houston. William Halliday's property was located just north of the Delaware border in Chester County, PA. Here is a list of neighbors in the Chester County PA, and New Castle County, Delaware properties at Penn's Manor: "New Garden Township:: List of first settlers from Thompson Richards draft 1715 (courtesy Eileen Robinson Evans) John Miller, Robert Johnson, Evan Evans, Joseph Sharp, James Lindley, Thomas Garnett, Joseph Sharp, Michael Lightfoot, John Wily, Thomas Jackson, William Halliday, Abram Marshall, Thomas Edmunds, Thomas John, Reece Meredith, Anthony Houston, William Rutledge, Simon Hadly, Benjamin Fred, John Lowden, Thomas Milhous, James Starr, Francis Hobson, Gayen Miller, Joseph Hutton, William Huse,, John Thomas, John Evans. Many of these were Irish Quakers" Jim Houston -----Original Message----- From: Jean Schorfheide [mailto:aschorfheide@comcast.net] Sent: Saturday, April 05, 2003 1:47 PM To: DEKENT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [DEKENT] Kent County Land Records I've been lurking here for several months and while I haven't seen anything to help my search (HOLLIDAY and MORRIS families in the Duck Creek Crossroads area (now Smyrna)), I thought I would start by offering help to others. I am willing to do lookups in my copies of "Kent County, Delaware Land Records". I have volumes 1-10 (missing vol. 4), which cover records from 1680 thru 1775. Each volume has a full name index, so checking will be fairly easy. I realize I'll probably be swamped with requests, but if you'll be patient, I promise I'll respond to all. aschorfheide@comcast.net Jean Schorfheide Galloway, NJ ==== DEKENT Mailing List ==== If you wish to unsubscribe from the DEKENT list, use DEKENT-L-REQUEST@ROOTSWEB.COM or DEKENT-D-REQUEST@ROOTSWEB.COM if you are on the Digest list. ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
