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 With thanks and great appreciation to the transcriber/ list member who posted it. From that post, below, quoted, it appears, from records extracted by Rev. Dr. Nicholas Collins of Gloria Dei (Wicaco) Church, Philadelphia, pertaining to the early Wicaco congregation, this quote is of interest. I have a few questions. Of interest to me is the identity and possible children (and their locations) of the Hans George Smith, as seen below: from notes by Rev. Dr. Nicholas Collins: "(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." Who was this "Hans George Smith"?? Where did he and his family live? I do not remember the name from my readings of the various histories of early settlement of the area. When did John Vandever's widow and daughter, and new husband, Hans George Smith, return to the Delaware; to which port did they come? I appreciate any input, including *speculation.* Thank you Liz J formerly of southern NJ; ancestorn in NJ, PA, DE and MD.
