Herr Eric Biork and Christina Stalcop, daughter of Peter Stalcop, were married on Oct. 6, 1702 by Andreas Sandel, who had come from Sweden not long before to succeed his friend Andreas Rudman as pastor at Wicaco (Philadelphia). From Sandel's diary: "1702, July the 15th. Came Mag. Biork, with his intended bride, to Mag. Rudman [at Wicaco]. I did come there too. the 16th. Again I walked from Passajung (Passyunk) to Mag. Rudman in order again to pay my respects to Mag. Biorks [sic] [and] Mag. Rudman, and I did then escort his sweetheart to show her the town, as she had not seen it before. Sept. the 20th. Under a heavy rain, I went down to Christina [Old Swedes, Wilmington, DE] to say the banns for Mag. Biork and his sweetheart, Stina Stallkapp, who afterwards were joined in marriage Oct. 6th. I was very ill in the intervening time...so it was with the very greatest ado I was able to marry them." Biork himself wrote to the Swedish Resident in London, a letter preserved in the Swedish Royal Archives, to tell of his marriage: "Especially is my situation much changed in that a good man's child of my congregation, now in her sixteenth year, Kristina Stallcop by name, has, by her modest ways and unusual proficiency in all things, at length bound my heart unto herself, although she, because of her shyness toward me and my office, did for a time politely decline, but all the more pleased me thereby."

Elizabeth Laforge m. Casperus Meginniss 19 August 1780 Old Swedes Mary Crow m. Casperus Meginniss 11 October 1783 Old Swedes. According to the materials my friend sent me, Jean Paul Jaquette, the immigrant, was the second governor of Delaware, though he served barely a year due to unpopularity. He married Maria de Carpentier, daughter of Casperus de Carpentier. They had 3 children: John, Peter, Paul. John m. Dtr of DeWitt, and had John, Cornelius, Peter, Anthony, and Nicholas. I have bits and pieces. Let me know if you need more info. I believe my connection is through Cornelius m. Maria Palsson, who had children: John died at 3 mos. old., Casperus, Maria b. 1721 m. Daniel McGinnis, John m. Johanna Clawson, Peter m. Elizabeth unknown, and Susanna. Maria was a widow by 1761, and "my" Casperus McGinnis was born about that time. Casperus and Daniel Mcginnis (possibly brothers?) took Oath of Allegiance together in Wilmington during the Rev. War, and both married in Old Swedes.

The Christina and Brandywine Rivers come within a couple of blocks distance of each other at the south end of Wilmington, DE near "The Rocks" where the Swedes landed in 1638. In fact, just a few blocks north: http://www.frommers.com/destinations/wilmingtonde/2263024195.html "The downtown business area [of Wilmington], wedged between the Brandywine and Christina, is laid out in a grid system, less than 20 blocks wide or long." The distance from "The Rocks" to "Rattlesnake Run", the northern extension of the Stalcop/Stidham land, is about 2 miles. Stalcop's land was originally about 800 acres. An acre of land is 43,560 sq. feet, or somewhat less that a football field which is 48,000 square feet (from goal line to goal line and 160 feet wide). A good deal of land but still well within the limits of present day Wilmington. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Friday, December 20, 2002, at 02:50 AM, Debra Rookard wrote: > Debbie wrote: > In 1671, two Swedes, Johan Andersson Stalcop and Dr. Tymen Stidham, had > : > owned between them all the land from the Christina River to the > : > Brandywine, and from the neighborhood of The Rocks [where the Swedes > : > landed near the mouth of the Brandywine in 1638] to Rattlesnake Run > : > [behind current Trolley Square].

I am in great appreciation of all the tidbits on Garretson posted lately, especially by Judy - our world of genealogy needs a few more like her. Hi, to Linda, sure would be great if we found your James! The very basics are the three brothers, John, Henry & Paul arrived DE 1657. John had three sons, Casparius, Garrett and Cornelius. Cornelius never married that we know of and Casparius children moved into PA with his widow and her new husband Nathan Hussey in 1738. Garrett stayed in DE, although some of his children left the area. Brothers Henry and Paul stayed, but again some of Henry's left early and it is believed that Paul's desc followed the Dutch naming pattern and went by Paulson. So, if you decend from New Castle, DE after 1738, you are most likely looking at decending from Henry or John's son Garrett. I have rather scant on Garrett, but would love to have anything that might help on his line as well as Henry the pioneer. Garrett and his wife Charity Hussey had 10 children, they are: 1. Jediah b. abt 1701 d. 1766 - I don't know who he married, had a son Jediah b. abt 1725 2. Cornelius b. abt 1703 d. before 1758 - don't know who he married but had sons James and John, this John may have married Hannah Smith. 3. Hulda m. Gooding - he may have been first or second husband 4. Mary m. Unknown Scott 5. Sarah Abt 1709 d. 1793 6. Elizabeth 7. John abt 1713 m. Margaret Cullender dau of Nicholas m. 1 Sep 1729 - also found as Collender - two daus no names, children: Cullender, Charity, Margaret, Mary & Garret. 8. Ann 9. Rebecca 10. Eliakan abt 1719 - 1761 m. Lydia Walter (may have been Walters) 25 Sep 1747 children: James abt 1750, Garret moved PA, Elizabeth & Joseph #1 son of Jediah, Jediah also had son Jediah b. abt 1750 - 1770 who m.

Hello Jeannie, I do not think that this is my Mary Garretson. She was married to John Herdman about 1800 according to DE bible records. It stated that her father was Henry Garretson who served as a private in the Rev.War. That is all I know at this time. I will keep your post and notify you if I find more information. Best wishes and Happy Holidays! Joy, Napa, CA 1

Hello Linda, My Henry Garretson was the father of Mary Garretson, b. Dec 23, 1780 and married to John Herdman (do marriage unknown) first child born 1800. Note on bible record that her father was a private in the Rev. War. This is all I know of Henry Garretson. Apparently there were a few Henry Garretsons as were there a few John Herdmans. I am trying to sort them out. I will keep your post and notify you when and if I find more information. Thank you for your post and best wishes for a Happy Holiday Season! Joy, Napa, CA

Last year about this time, I exchanged several e-mails with a "STALCOP" cousin from Sweden, Hans Ling. Hans descends from the marriage of Rev. Ericus Tobias BJORK (of the Old Swedes Church) and his wife, Christina Stalcop (D/O Peter). When Rev. BJORK and Christina were called back to Sweden (along with their son Tobias BJORK) these descendants lived in Sweden until the present time. Hans is very aware of his North American heritage. He is a most interesting fellow. Larry E.

To Joy and Jeannie - I too have Garretson's in my line from Delaware. I am looking for anyone that can add to my lineage. In Delaware my gggggrandfather was James Garretson b 1745 and married Mary Abrams. They had 3 children that I know of. There is also a Henry Garretson down the line. Would like to correspond with both of you to compare notes. Thank you. Linda ~Jeannie Morris wrote: > ON > > Joy, > I don't have a listing of wills, but I do have Garretson's on my > husband's side.

Earl Jones wrote a number of volumes on the Stalcup family and I'm sure you could find your family there. I have only volume 1 and the index. Send me again who you are looking for and I'll check it out.

I'm working on a possible link to my Meginniss line. (I have a "parentless" Casperus Meginniss who was in Wilmington circa Rev. War, and there was a Mary Meginniss who sold her portion of her deceased brother, Casperus Jaquette's estate, to another Jaquette brother. I just can't put Mom with son, yet. But I am hopeful, as "Casperus" wasn't too common of a name.) There is a Jaquette genealogy that a friend copied some pages of and sent to me, but I haven't gotten to open it yet, as I am pregnant with number three, and very busy with the holidays. The genealogy is available through FHL, and also on film at LOC. I told her about it, and she copied it from an IL repository. You might also be interested in the records of Old Swedes/Holy Trinity in Wilmington. They are on FTM, and available through the still active church. The revolutionary War hero, Peter Jacquette is buried there, and there are several baptisms. I want to say I read something about New Jersey, but maybe I'm just imagining it. Also, I don't know where your wills came from, but there are a number listed on the DE archives search site.

ON Joy, I don't have a listing of wills, but I do have Garretson's on my husband's side. I have that Mary Elizabeth Garretson (b 1838, d 1939) married Davis B. Meeser (b 1834, d 1914). They would be my husband's great grandparents. Is this the same Mary Garretson that is your gggrandmother? ~Jeannie -------------------------------------- Saw the above name mentioned on recent posting. If someone on the list has a listing of wills, I would appreciate a lookup of Henry Garretson. His daughter, Mary Garretson is my gggrandmother. Also, I saw that an Ambrose Baker was a witness to a will, I amy have a connection to him. These names were in a reference and I am not sure who sent the original posting. Joy

Wonder if the "eldest son named Auchin" : John ANDERSON - alias STALCUP. 29 Aug 1679. 20 Jul 1686. A:79 Wife Christina Carlos; son in law Lucas STIDDOM; eldest son named Auchin; children viz: Charlos, John, Peter, Mary, Jonas. is the same as the son Andrew mentioned below having been left one of the two remaining plots of his father's land. Immanuel (Emanuel) Church, New Castle: Marriage: Philip Vn. Luvenigh of town of New Castle, saddler, Mary Stallcop of New Castle County; surety, John Gilbert of New Castle, saddler. wit: Richard McWilliam. May 9, 1750. Marriage: Israel Stalcop and Agnus Means, November 21, 1758. Baptism: Ann, daughter of Israel and Agnus Stalcop, February 18, 1760, aged 1 day Banns: Ambrose Lunden and Bridget Stalcope of White Clay Creek, January 6, 1714-15. Banns: John Stalcup and Caty Philzgerald (Fitzgerald?), April, 1769. "In 1671, two Swedes, Johan Andersson Stalcop and Dr. Tymen Stidham, had owned between them all the land from the Christina River to the Brandywine, and from the neighborhood of The Rocks [where the Swedes landed near the mouth of the Brandywine in 1638] to Rattlesnake Run [behind current Trolley Square]. Stalcop's land extended North from the Christina; Stidham's south from the Brandywine. Across the Brandywine was the land of Jacob Vandever, a Dutch settler; across the Christina was Long Hook, owned by Jean Paul Jacquett, and east of Jacquett's land, that of Peter Alrichs... Stalcop, who died before 1685, had granted half of his land to Samuel Peterson and Lars Cornelison. He willed the remainder in two plots, one each to is wife and son Andrew. Peterson kept his land; Cornelison sold his to Matthias de Foss, who sold it to Charles Pickering. The Pickering tract became the glebe of Old Swedes Church by gift of John Stalcop, Jr. Later, Peterson's son sold the Peterson land to Andrew Justison. Tour, Rt. 13, from DE/PA border south: "at 5.8 miles, the highway crosses Shellpot Creek, a tributary of the Brandywine Creek. The name is a corruption from the Swedish Skoldpadde Fallet (Turtle Falls). The first gristmill was erected here soon after 1662 by John Stalcop, aided by other Swedes and Dutchmen. Mills flourished on the stream well into the 18th century. William Penn, writing in 1683, included the lower reaches of "Skilpot" Creek with the Christina, Brandywine, and Schuylkill as each having "room enough to lay up the Royal Navy of England"." "Among the artist-joiners of that [18th] century...Israel Stalcop descendant if John (Johan) Anderssen Stalcop, who in the 17th century owned half of the present Wilmington." Wilmington Reminiscences..., published 1851: "Opposite the Almhouse was the estate of Hannah Stalcup, the descendent of a wealthy Swede. She was long deranged and confined to her own house, but at times would make her escape, to the terror of the children. Though mischievous, she was inoffensive compared with Tamar Way. Her [Hannah] paternal inheritence was valuable, and it was supposed that riches caused her insanity, which continued to her death. A part of her property is now owned by Rev. S. M. Gailey, a Presbyterian clergyman, who has a respectable classical school there, and calls his school Mantua."
