I know they are on pages 26 and 172 of Carol Garnett's "New Castle County Delaware Land records 1770-1777" and no need to repeat that. Jacob lived in the town of New Castle.Does the name mean anything to anybody. Someplace in Dr Craig's '1693 census of Swedes on the Delaware,it states,during Dutch rule,or about 1656,and agreement was reached for Swedes to settle north and west of Christina,and Dutch below. Christina is not an east west river,but flows n e from the s w. That means not far inland from Necastle was Swedish. Newport area.
There are also, in this volume, Vangezel on page 255, VanGezell on pp 8, 9, 17. Here's a map that might help: http://www.earthethics.com/christina.htm ----------------------------------------------------- On Saturday, April 10, 2004, at 10:43 AM, HFAGLEY@aol.com wrote: > I know they are on pages 26 and 172 of Carol Garnett's "New Castle > County > Delaware Land records 1770-1777" and no need to repeat that.
