Would anyone happen to know of where Surrency Creek would have been located back in time to the early 1700's? This is a possible are that our family lived as to the name. Surrency is / has been spelled in several different ways as well. Thanks for any thoughts, Ruth in ILL

Try this website at U of Delaware. Lots of online links. http://www2.lib.udel.edu/subj/genealogy/resguide/hund.htm There are atlas maps of the individual Hundreds here, from about 1868, downloadable zips, but they are huge. I am looking over the Red Lion map now, still don't see it. Surrency Creek might have been a very small one leading into one of the larger creeks. Do you have a will or land record which gives any other references, such as "bounded on one corner by Joe Smith's farm" --geo references like that? Or do you have the name of a descendent who might hve been deeded land in a will? That might help to place it. The 1867 atlas has names of some individual home sites. Come back if you still don't find it. I'll help; I have ancestors in the same general area. And I could stand another look at the relevant section of Scharf's; maybe that will give some other hints. Good luck, come back any time; I'm interested too.

> Surrency is / has been spelled in several different ways as well. Please show us some of the alternate spellings so that we can help you better. This name is jogging my memory very strongly but I can't place it yet.
