Hi list, What has always been refereed to as "Blackbeard the Pirate's girlfriend's House" has just been purchased & is being restored back to the blank house it originally was. In the future it will be a museum :D I'm trying to find out who owed this property & lived in the house over the years from the late 1600s to present time. Michael MANERCHIA, (the new owner), wife's family once owned the house (c1930s) & their name was WANNER - WARNER. In the 1920 Census, I found a Phoebe SAMUELS living there but she is renting. I have not checked the other census records as yet. If anyone would like to share their family history with us that had a connection to the house please e-mail me -- we are very interested! :) The house is at 221 Market St., Marcus Hook on the corner of Market St. & Market Lane. It appears a SYMTH may have owned the property in the late 1600s. On a 1701 map that I found it looks like a JACKSON owned the property. Marcus Hook is now in Delaware Co., PA, but this was Chester Co. before 1789. I have, also, found Marcus Hook being referred to as being in the state of Delaware. Thank you very much for any info & help you can share with us! Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)
