Hello Christie, Yes, I am interested in the name Charles Marshall, Is there a picture of him? Could I get a copy of his card And/or picture? Please contact me off list Pami0608@aol.com Thanks Pamela Wright Bucks County, PA.

Listers....Been awhile since I posted my line into New Castle County. I've traced it (my line) to Isaac Hyatt, Sr 1732-1796 who was farmer in St George's Hundred. His female children had married into Coombs, Cannon, Antrum & Vandegrift families of that area. Back further, think my line intersects with a Peter Hyatt & John Vance Hyatt of Revol War period. I'm confused as to where my Hyatts originated....perhaps Netherlands or perhaps United Kingdom. As there were many Hyatts around Delaware in 1700's I find it amazing no one else researching these folks. What am I missing? Charlie Murphy near Seattle.

My mother purchased quite a Carte de Visite album. A Carte de Visite is essentially a calling card with a picture on it. Anyway, it's a rather large album full of pictures. There is an index and here's the list of names from the Index: John Banks Jabez Banks Jane Banks Charles Megginson Elizabeth Megginson Grandfather Megginson Grandmother Megginson Agnes Jones Toni L Jones Mr. Rossiter Mrs. Rossiter Chas. Marshall Mary " Jesse Jones Richard Megginson Diana Megginson T? Megginson Mable Megginson John Banks Sallie Jabez Banks Marne Banks Mrs. Ayers Richard Neygway? Annie Darlington Sallye Vandynje?

John Megginson Mrs. Mams Simpson Clem Galloway Lizza " Uncle Bill ? Moses Jones John Banks George Banks Azarine Lovett That is the list in the index in it's entirety. Some of the names I can't quite make out. There is also a letter address to Mrs. Mary A Megginson Newcastle Delaware US America. It is postmarked from Ganton, York Aug 29 1902. 1902 Aug 28 Dear Wife and Children hoping this will find you well and I am ????rate but home sick.

Pop There is a picture fom The Delmarvia Star, Wilmington, Delaware, January 15, 1928 of the Rose Hill Pupils, 35 Years Ago, Before Fire. In the pictures is Anna Megginson, Ed Megginson, William Megginson. Top row: Sadie Semon, Mrs. Florence Boss, teacher; Marion Torens. Others in the picture include Edith Le Fevre, Jennie Blackburn, Ella King, Ethel Boss, Anna Megginson, Mabel Downward, Eva Downward, Ora Nichols, Anna Foster, Marian Longham, Elizabeth Le Fevre, Katie King, Mary McKay, George Kine, Jesse McKay, Theodore Blackburne, Mary Blackburne now Mrs. Theodore Cavender, California, Iva Jones, Charles Grier, Ephraim Sutton, James Torens, George Poole, Orville Nichols, Anna McKay, Ed Megginson, Bessie Cauffman, John Cauffman, Eugene Luff, Iva Jone, Thomas Grier, Howard Suttong, William Megginson, Harry Willis, Leonard Willis. The above etching shows the teacher and pupils at the front of the Rose Hill School. It was taken shortly before the school building was destroyed by fire about thirty-five years agoand the present little frame building was then erected. There is another letter on the letterhead of The American Line S. S. Haverford dated Aug 25 192 at sea. It's a rather boring letter with specifics about the trip and miles traveled each day, how long the ship is and stuff like that. I won't transcribe it. I did the other one because it had places and names that might ring a bell with someone. If you're interested, please email me. Christie

> Hi Debbie Thank you for responding to my email regarding the Donlon family. The years 1787 and 1800 were long before the family i am looking for migrated to the u.s.a. I would think from 1860 on ?? I sent away to the Delaware history center for some information looking for the same family, i think they are sending me as little information at a time so they can make some money out of me. I don't mind paying if I get what I asked for, this is why I am trying to find other ways of getting the information I am looking for. Can you help me or do you know who I can contact to help me to try and trace this family. Thank you again for responding to my email because you were the only one who did respond. thank you jim yes your email did work thank you again jim just testing... > >

So close, and yet, so far... All four of your names (Marshall, Williamson, French and Pitman) match names in my ancestry (a total of eight times!). Unfortunately, I'm unable to offer anything useful other than the reassurance, if you are unfamiliar with Quaker genealogy, that some well-researched motherlodes of information await you if you can only get back two or three more generations. Since all of those surnames are prominent in the earlier Quaker families of the area, I'd suggest that you re-post your question to the always helpful Rootsweb Quaker-Roots list. Perhaps someone there with more information on collateral lines than I will be able to help. Most tantalizing of our near misses is your Williamson line which has long been one of my nagging deadends. An Alice Williamson and her husband, James Ogram, both born in England, were my 6g-grandparents. They are said to have immigrated to Delaware in 1840. Alice would have been about the right age to have been a sister of your William P. Williamson. One source I've been needing to track down which *may* shed further light on this line is: Cope, Gilbert (1840-1928). "Genealogy of the Smedley Family, Descended from George and Sarah Smedley, Settlers in Chester County, Pennsylvania, with Brief Notices of other Families of the name, and abstracts of early English Wills," Lancaster, PA: Wickersham Printing Co., 1901., pp. 59 [etc.?]. It's available at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (Fa 929.2 S6373c), Swarthmore, Haverford, and probably elsewhere. If you have an opportunity to check a copy before I do, I'd be interested. Do you have any further information about any of the individuals you mention, particularly names of their siblings? If so and if there's a match with my lines, I'd be happy to help further. I notice that you also have "Robinson" in your Surnames list; is this also a New Castle County line?? If so, I'd be very interested to explore how it might be related to the line of my William Heywood Robinson (b. 1818) and his daughter, Frances Robinson (b. 1841(3?)), who immigrated to Delaware from England in 1844. If there is a match, I have some original source material which would be *very* interesting.

Hi Jim, As I recall, the Irish page (can't remember the url) listed Donlons much later than 1800, like 1860s. Anyway, have you written to the mailing lists (you'll have to subscribe to the lists first) at: Donlon-L@rootsweb.com Subscribe at: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/d/donlan.html Ireland-roots-L@rootsweb.com Subscribe at: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/IRL/IRELAND- ROOTS.html and posted to the message board at: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=surnames.donlan I also sent an email to Nancy Lyons who is the "expert", at our local FHC (Family History Center), on New Castle County Irish descendants. The FHC does not have an email address but Nancy works there. Send an email to her at: nancyml@comcast.net Give her as much information as you have about your descendants; names, dates, where they lived, when they lived, etc. and she should be able to help. Make sure you tell her you're from Australia so she doesn't expect you to be able to attend the weekly meeting at the FHS. :) Debbie --------------------------------------------------------- On Wednesday, March 10, 2004, at 06:51 AM, jimbull1@centralonline.com.au wrote: >> Hi Debbie > Thank you for responding to my email regarding the Donlon family. > > The years 1787 and 1800 were long before the family i am looking > for migrated to the u.s.a.

Hi Debbie, The so called expert is me. I'd argue with that description but I'm grateful for the idea that the word is getting around about our free Irish Family History Research Group at the Family History Center on the 1st Saturday of the month at 11 A.M. It was created out of desperation, because there was no organized help. I love it!

Hi, I am trying to find any infromation on Thomas Henry Harris born 1831 in Delaware and died May 28,1895 in Queen Anne's co MD. From 1860-1880 census it says he was born in Delaware.I have never found him in 1850. According to his obituary he lived in Queen Anne's co 40 years, moving to Queen Anne's co in 1850. Could have been he missed the census from both places. According to marriage records from Queen Anne's co, Thomas married Mary Lloyd Nov 15,1850, he married Francis Emily Morgan Dec 5,1856, Ann Elizabeth Thawley about 1878 and Celistie Coursey Nov 28,1882. He had children will all 4 wives. Listed below. Thomas has been my brick wall for about 10 years now. Has anyone come across any Harris family in Delaware that has a son Thomas about this age?

Judith van de Wer. --------------- (7) The degree of respect and dignity implicit in the use of "Herr" in these early records is not conveyed by modern translation. (8) 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." When Andreas Sandel preached Christina Stalcop Bjork's funeral sermon in Sweden, he gave the date of her birth as Apr. 19, 1686. (9) On May 3, 1713 "the fourth Sunday after Easter", and the first day of his regular pastorate at Christina, Andreas Hesselius was married to Sara, daughter of Jonas Walraven. (Holy Trinity Records, First Book, pg. 96). (10) Abraham Lidenius, who had come from Sweden with Hesselius to be his assistant, was assigned charge of the families "over the river" [New Jersey], to their great satisfaction. While those living in the Raccoon Creek area were generally considered a part of the Wicaco congregation, and those of Penn's Neck a part of the Christina congregation, Mr. Lindenius ministered to them all. (11) In October, 1684, Conrad Constantine, on behalf of his wife, Christian, late widow and relict of Pella Perker [Parker?], deceased, testified that he had duly and legally proved a certain noncupative will of said Pella which made provision for the widow and eight children. New Castle Wills, book A-1, pg. 65. (12) Peter Petersson, called Caupony, Caupany, Caupeny, to distinguish him from Peter Petersson, Smith. This odd nickname, which has aroused a great deal of interest and conjecture, actually has a very simple explanation. It is derived from the Swedish word "kåpa" meaning, the the usage of the day, "a short cloak. To English ears, the broad "å" had almost the sound of "au", as in "caught"; hence, the wearer of the short cloak became Peter Caupany. (cf. the transition from Pålsson to Paulson). Another nickname, Stalcop, (see footnote 15), unlike Caupany, has been preserved as a family name. (13) Johan Cock died two weeks later, and was buried in his garden on December 16. Mr. Hesselius went down to St. George's again "about 20 English miles" to preach the funeral sermoon and had a difficult time getting home. "When I now returned to my usual ferry place," he wrote in his Journal, "with the idea of being brought across the [Christina] river, with my horse, and now had my home in sight, it was impossible to get over the water in any manner, because it was all covered with ice...too strong for the barge to cut through, but too weak for me to walk over." (14) Further mention of some of these families "over the River" may be found in "The Records of Swedish Lutheran Churches at Raccoon and Penns Neck, 1713-1786" (American Guide Series, Federal Workers' Project, 1938). (15) Andreas Sandel's "Diary", p. 135:"1704, Nov. the 11th. Along with Giosta Giastashon's [Justa Justis'] son Jean [John, Johan] I went down to Christina, where he was married to Petter Stacko's [Stalcop's] daughter." Mr. Sandel did not recognize the familiar Swedish words "stål kofta", literally "steel jacket", which had grown, in half a century on the Delaware, into the surname Stalcop. Johan Andersson Stålkofta, a gunner, first member of the present Stalcop/Stalcup family to come to New Sweden, appears in the 1654-55 roll of the freemen in the colony. He died "on Christina Creeke" before Sept. 22, 1685, when the Provincial Council in Philadelphia, having had information of "ye Indians' Willingness to sell all their Right and Claime to the land between Upland [Chester] & Apoaquinamy [Appoquinimink], as farr backward as they have any Claime thereunto. and that they proposed a meeting at Widow Scalcop's [Stalcop's] on ye 29th Inst., in order to treat about ye same", appointed certain persons to be "at ye place aforesd, with full power to treat and compleat ye purchase with them," (Minutes of Prov. Council of Penn.) Of the five named sons in John Anderson Stalcop's will. dated Aug. 24, 1679, probated Feb. 3, 1685/6, three, Andrew, John and Peter, are known to have had descendants: Charles is mentioned later in a deed as having died without issue [New Castle County Deeds, Book M1: p. 286; there is no further word of Jonas. One daughter had married, before her father's will was made, Luloff (not Lucas] Stedham, as his first wife. Luloff, or Lyloff, Stedham remarried before Oct. 5, 1695, "Katherine" Catherina, widow of Andrew Stalcop. [NCC Wills, B:1, p. 29, administration of the estate of Andrew Stalcop.] Another daughter, doubtless the Mary mentioned in her father's will, married Captain John Hance Steelman, merchant, Indian Trader and Interpreter. [NCC Deeds, B: H-1, p. 150.] On Aug. 29. 1700, the Indian Owechela, called "King of the Delaware", signed a treaty of friendship with three Maryland commissioners at "John Hans Steelman's" trading house in Cecil County. As late as Jan. 12, 1721/2, Steelman is referred to as being form "Ceecill County" but by Oct. 8, he is "of Menawkos, in Prince George's County". [NCC Deeds, B: G-1, pp. 161, 372.] In 1744, John Hans Steelman, then living in Lancaster Co., PA, disposed of land and marsh in MD [or DE, as the boundaries were still not defined]. He died in Lancaster, now Adams, Co. in 1749 and in 1924 the PA Historical Commission, the Swedish Colonial Society and the citizens of Adams Co., placed a marker on the site of his frontier home, about ten miles southwest of Gettysburg and three miles northwest of Emmitsburg, MD. The inscription on the marker commemorates Steelman's early appearance as a settler west of the Susquehanna River.
