Imminently Threatened by Development: The LaGrange (Barczewski) farm in Glasgow, DE Christina School District and several private firms are aggressively attempting to purchase and then immediately develop the entire Barczewski farm (also known as the La Grange or Dr. Samuel Henry Black farm). Christina S. D. wants to buy almost 30% of the property, including the historic manor house and granary, so that a mega-school incorporating elementary and middle school facilities can be built. The Barczewski farm's 236 acres contain two documented Native American Indian camps, earthen works from the British and Hessian occupation of Aikentown (Glasgow), remnants of the Benjamin Latrobe feeder canal from 1804, and several structures on the National Register of Historic Places (Dr. Samuel Henry Black). General Lafayette named the farm "La Grange" while a visitor there in October 1824. The Federal US Censuses of 1810 and 1820 for DE/NCCo/Pencader Hundred, show that there were three FREE African-Americans (unnamed - husband, wife, and daughter) who were part of Dr. Samuel H. Black's household. The farm is located near the northwest corner of Routes U.S. 40 and Del. 896 in Glasgow (New Castle County, Pencader Hundred), and is comprised of a single tract of 236 acres. Approximately 100 acres are pastures, and approximately 136 acres are wooded. The Muddy Run creek and some of its tributaries run through and form the northern boundary of the property. This property contains the historic home and farm of Glasgow's early physician, University of DE trustee, and state politician, Dr. Samuel Henry Black. The land, however, had been farmed for over 100 years before Dr. Black acquired it. The property has a carefully restored historic home and preserved granary, each dating to 1815, and more recent barns and outbuildings dating to the property's days in the 1940s through 1960s as the West End Dairy farm. Other family names associated over time with this farm include Middleton, Frazier, Leasure, Congo, Cooch, and Veach. Dr. Samuel H. Black built the property's granary. The building incorporates consolidated storage and processing functions and wheeled vehicle access. This building is the earliest documented example of a drive-through granary of the type that was to become popular throughout the Northeastern U.S. in the mid-19th century. In July 1974, the large manor Federal period home and the granary were incorporated into the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places (NRHP #74000601). Areas of NRHP significance of this property include Health/Medicine, Architecture, Social History, and Agriculture. In 1985, the La Grange granary was incorporated into the highly selective Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) / Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) conducted by the US Department of the Interior and maintained by the US Library of Congress (Survey # HABS DE-216). There are two archeologist documented Native American encampment sites on the La Grange farm (the Butterworth and the Barczewski sites). These sites date from 10,000 BC to 6,500 BC. Many authentic Paleo-Indian and Early Archaic periods' arrow points, axe heads, and other stone implements have been found on the farm. In the farm's woods there are authenticated, intact remains of British and Hessian earthen trenches from the September 3, 1777, Revolutionary War battle of Cooch's bridge. The trenches run parallel to the remnants of a historic and ancient, but now abandoned road, of which the last remaining vestiges exist on the LaGrange Farm. The earthworks are also parallel Rt. 40 West from Glasgow, DE, to Elkton, MD, and face Iron Hill. There is also documented evidence on the farm of Benjamin Latrobe's venture to build a feeder canal in 1804 (New Castle County Historical Marker NC-59). The feeder canal remnants are intact. The canal was to be built from the Elk Creek to the Christiana River, with the ultimate goal of the canal connecting the Delaware and Chesapeake waterways. The project failed, however, because the state of Delaware ran out of money before the canal was completed. The remnants of the feeder canal run from Rt. 40 West through the La Grange farm. In 1996, Anne Barczewski was honored with a prestigious historic preservation award from the New Castle County Historic Preservation Review Board. The Board placed a protective Historic Zoning overlay upon the entire 236 acres of the La Grange farm. On June 27, 1997, Anne Barczewski told preservation advocates, "If it was my last word, my last breath, I'd say 'no' to a developer."

with thanks from yesterday's Wilmington News Journal- article on-line at delawareonline.com DVDs to replace NCCo paper records Marriage license, genealogy searches to take seconds By CHARLOTTE HALE / The News Journal 11/27/2000 The 400,000 index cards, hundreds of microfilm reels, and 100 binders and books used to keep track of marriage licenses issued over nearly the past century in New Castle County are being replaced - by 30 DVDs. County Clerk of the Peace Kenneth W. Boulden Jr. said finding recent records in the paper and film archives usually takes his staff no more than 20 minutes. But hunting for older records can take hours - and occasionally days - because many are disorganized and incomplete. Some card indexes list only the groom's name. Pages in books of handwritten indexes are ripped. Clear tape holds together disintegrating microfilm. The records are used in everything from divorce and estate cases to genealogical searches, and converting them into a digital format means searches could be done by computer. Searches will take seconds and be more accurate once a computer server is built to manage the information, Boulden said. "You probably wouldn't have time to finish your cup of coffee before we'd get done," he said, "whereas before you might have been able to have a couple of meals and a good night's sleep," he said. Setting up the new system cost county government $46,000. It is expected to be ready by January. Clerk of the Peace offices in Kent and Sussex counties have computerized records back to 2001 and 2002, respectively. Everything else still is on paper. But the clerk and clerk-elect in those counties plan to explore following New Castle County's example. Carl Heckert, an attorney for the law office of Joseph W. Benson, P.A., in Wilmington, expects the computerized records system to make his job easier. He said he must obtain a certified copy of a couple's marriage license before he can initiate a divorce case. While he said getting certified copies of marriage licenses that are as much as 15 years old usually takes no more than a few days, obtaining records from the 1950s sometimes take weeks. Keeping birth, death and marriage records on computer is increasingly common because the format makes searches faster, said Mark Monacelli, president of the National Association of County Recorders, Election Officials and Clerks. However, Monacelli said the technology also poses challenges. For instance, the need to keep some personal information private must be balanced with public demand for better access to the records through the Internet. Constance Cooper, director of the library and archive for the Historical Society of Delaware, said computerizing records is an attractive alternative since paper takes up so much space. However, she said the permanence of computer records also must be considered. Every time computer formats change, the computer records must change. Boulden said he will keep all the paper records in the office in Wilmington until he is sure there are no problems with the new system. After that, he will continue keeping paper records dating back about 20 years - which is the period the staff researches most often - in case of system breakdowns. He said he hopes to store the rest in the county or state archives. Boulden said one goal in setting up the system is to help the other two counties do the same, so all can be linked. This would allow people to go into any clerk of the peace office statewide and get the marriage records they need. Once that's done, he hopes to make the information available online so the public can do searches from home.

Pls forgive the x posting. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! A Feast of Ancestors! Enjoy Free Access to the Register Online Over Thanksgiving Weekend! NEHGS is pleased to offer free access to its New England Historical and Genealogical Register database on New England Ancestors.org over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend! Normally only available to NEHGS members, the Register database will be accessible to everyone from Thursday, November 25 through Sunday, November 28, 2004. We encourage all NEHGS members to spread the word about this offering, and we hope that those of you who are not members find a veritable feast of ancestors in the Register database! Published quarterly since 1847, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register is the flagship journal of American genealogy and the oldest journal in the field. The online database includes issues from 1847 to 1994. The Register has featured articles on a wide variety of topics since its inception, including vital records, church records, tax records, land and probate records, cemetery transcriptions, obituaries, and historical essays. Authoritative compiled genealogies have been the centerpiece of the Register for more than 150 years. Thousands of New England families have been treated in the pages of the journal and many more are referenced in incidental ways throughout. The articles in the Register range from short pieces correcting errors in print or solving unusual problems to larger treatments that reveal family origins or present multiple generations of a family. Look for details on how to obtain free access to the Register in a special eNews bulletin to be sent out Wednesday, November 24. A link will also be available on that date on the home page of our website, www.NewEnglandAncestors.org

Dear Anita, New Castle was a very active port in the late 1700's and early 1800's. My ancestors (MAGENS) also arrived in New Castle about that time. I have a very nice copy of a painting that shows early New Castle from the river. I can send you a copy when I get back to our winter home in about a month. If you look at a map you will see that New Castle is located on the Delaware River just before the river starts to narrow. Possible reason for not sailing farther up the river to Philadelphia.
