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.
