Question from old area history. From notes pertaining to the Old Swedes Communicate Records, 1714 (see DENEWCAS-L Archives, 13 Mar 2004, here): http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/DENEWCAS/2004-03/1079200789 From that post, below, quoted, which came fron records extracted by Rev. Dr. Nicholas Colling of Gloria Dei (Wicaco) Church, Philadelphia, pertaining to the early Wicaco congregation, this quote is of interest. I have questions. Of interest to me is the identity and children (and their locations) of the Hans George Smith and the widow of "John "Cornelius' son" Vandever, below: "(21) John Vandever "Cornelius' son" died in Sweden before May 3, 1720, and his widow married Hans George Smith with whom, and her daughter Christina Vandever, she returned to the Delaware." Can someone tell me who was this "Hans George Smith"?? And did he have descendents who stayed in the greater Delaware River/Bay area? Also --is there a transcription available of notes of Rev. Dr. Nicholas Colling? Also interested in Christina and in the identity of the widow of Vandever (Cornelius' -son). Thank you Liz J formerly of southern NJ; ancestors in NJ, PA, DE and MD.
