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.
