Mary, I couldn't help noticing that your last name is Westfall and that you might have family from the Kent County, Delaware area. Would you be related (or your husband be related) to Joel Westfall (b. October 14, 1751), son of Jacob Westfall. Joel Westfall married Mary Houston (b. October 06, 1758) probably around 1777 in Monongalia County west Virginia. Mary Houston is the daughter of James Houston, my 5th great-grandfather who died in Kent County, Delaware some time before November 14, 1760.

Jim, My husband's family WESTPFAHL (Westfall) came from Mecklenburg, Germany. They did not arrive in this country until mid 1860's and settled in Scranton, PA. At this time we have no Westfalls listed in my husband's line who lived in Delaware. The Delaware connection comes in on my side of the family. Thank you for writing.
