It seems that you are already being bombarded with requests!! I feel guilty adding my voice to the masses but when you have time could you check for anything on the following surnames. I am particularly interested in death dates and places of burial. These families were in both Sussex and Kent counties. DEPUTY TOWNSEND HUDSON Thanks so much for your generous offer.

I am looking for my gggggrandfather George Ross who married Hannah Hart between 1778 and 1800, it is also possible they died in Delaware. Thanks again Rachel Connecticut rhart@laborers-agc.org

Leslie, Thanks for your offer to do DE look ups. Would you look up the following names and see if any marriages or deaths are listed. I am having difficulty finding any information and they all supposedly were married or died in DE.

Leslie, Thankyou for your offer. I have been trying to hunt down anything on Johnson Nelson or maybe John Nelson, On his tombstone it says Johnson Nelson 1800-1835, I can't seem to find out anything more on him, so if he's in one of your books that would be great. Also I'm researching the surnames Shannon and Boyd, if there are to many let me know and I'll be more specific Sharon

Is there a charge for marriage look-ups? If so, how much. Please E-mail me with info at jagwlee@cs.com. Gayl Lee

I have the book! Sorry, slow to catch up! I do not see the marriage of a McLane (or McClane) and a Garesche. There are however, several Garesche's noted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Leslie Brinkley-Lawson Genealogy Researcher F i tzwater Family One Name Study Remember May 16-19, 2001, NGS is at Portland, Oregon!

I would like to contact any one who is researching the descendants of Sylvester Deputy who received a warrant from William Penn of 350 acres of land in Milford District, Cedar Creek Hundred, April 8 1741. I have much information on this family but need to know what church they were affiliated with and where early family was buried. Would also like to know the original surname; was it perhaps DePuy? It is my understanding that the family were French Hugenots who fled to Wales to avoid religious persecution and there changed the name to Depaty, then changed spelling to Deputy when they arrived in America about 1650. Thanks for any help. Gwen

Looking for any Courtneys. Nellie and Bert (born 1870-80ish) may've been the children of a Joseph (died in 1875ish). Any word from anyone knowing of any Courtneys in Delaware would be very welcomed.

I am looking for descendants of the above surnames. These were all my great aunts names. I didn't even know they existed until a few months ago. They were my grandmother's sisters. All were born and were probably married in or near Hunnewell, Sumner County, Kansas. The married names were taken from a probate of my Great Grandfather William O. Bell, died 1926 in Sumner County, KS. My great grandmother was Ester E. BURDICK BELL. FANNIE (Bell) HOLSTIN OR HOLSTIEN b. 1890 married ?? HOLSTIEN/HOLSTIN ANNA M. (Bell) BRAZIER b. April 1885 married ?? BRAZIER NINA SERINA (Bell) BOYER b. 1893, married RUBEN HENRY BOYER August 8, 1914 NETTIE (Bell) BATES b. April 1894 married John Bates about 1914. Had a daughter MARGARETTE BATES b. about 1915? If anyone knows of any of the descendants of these families, please contact me. Appreciate any help in finding them. Jan

Hi Jacque The Welsh Tract Baptist Church indeed still stands, in excellent condition and the graveyard is well tended & the graves are readable. It's easy to locate, in Newark DE, the area known as Iron Hill. You probably won't see any signs for Iron Hill but it is the rise to the south of I-95 exit 1. If you want to explore the graveyard it can be found by getting off I-95 at exit 1, northbound (Newark)get in the left lane as you will want to turn left at the first light (Welsh Tract Rd) The church and cem are only a few hundred feet from the light. Some of the stones are written in Welsh! There is a book at UD library with burials listed for the church. If I go to the library I will see if the book is still shelved (it's falling apart) and see if your people are there. Lynn Sinclair

Hi! I am new to the list and am in need of some help. There is a church called Welsh Tract Baptist that was in Pencader Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware. My relatives John Eaton and wife (Joan?) came over from Wales and in 1713 were added by letter. John Eaton died in May 1717 and his wife in Dec 1717. They are supposedly buried in the graveyard of this church. Some other papers I have state that the church is at Iron Hill, near Newark. Can anyone tell me if this graveyard still exists? Are the tombstones visible? Any help is appreciated. Jacque Wallingford Rmomba@aol.com
