    1. [DESUSSEX] William Daisey, 1870
    2. Janet T. Smith
    3. Does anyone know the identity of the parents of the William Daisey listed in the 1870 DE census, Sussex County, Dagsboro Hundred, page 559? It shows: DAISEY, William, 47, M, W, farmer, 1000, 700, born Delaware DAISEY, Naomy, 44, F, W, keeping house, b. DE DAISEY, Eliza A, 19, F, W, at home, b. DE DAISEY, George, 16, M, W, at home, b. DE DAISEY, Kate, 14, F, W, at home, b. DE DAISEY, Bell T, 12, F, W, at home, b. DE DAISEY, Leah E, 12, F, W, at home, b. DE DAISEY, William P, 9, M, W, at home, b. DE DAISEY, John E, 6, M, W, at home, b. DE DAISEY, Leonvent ?, 3, F, W, at home, b. DE I'm still trying to find the identity of the parents of my Edward P. DAZEY, born about 1821 in Sussex Co, DE. His marriage bond to Ellender McCOMMORACH was signed by himself and Wm. W. DAZEY on 1/27/1842. On William's marriage bond to Elizabeth ROBINSON on 5/26/1842, he is identified as "William W. DAZEY of John". There must be a familial relationship between Edward and William-I just haven't found it yet. Can anyone help? I'd be most grateful for any assistance or hints.

    1. [DESUSSEX] Spanish American War records
    2. Darlene Corrigan
    3. Can anyone tell me where I can find Spanish-American War records? My g-uncle was in the Marines during that war and I would like to find information about his service. (what outfit, what rank, etc.) Also, he became a police officer in Washington D.C. sometime after the service and stayed in Washington after his retirement. When he died, he was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. It was when I visited his grave at Arlington that I was told that he was a Marine in the Spanish-American war, but they had no other information about him. His name was Allen Winey Guyer (1876-1962). Thanks for any help you may be able to give. Darlene Guyer Corrigan

He died in Ohio, and I think he was in Loudon Co., Va. while it was just wilderness, but cannot prove this. Let me know if you want my info. Vinita Harrison

    2. Hi list, Someone was just recently looking for info on the surname COBOURN(E) on one of these lists. (Sorry can't remember which one.) I live in Delaware Co., PA & a man contacted me up here, also looking for info on the COBOURN(E) Family but these COBOURN(E)s were living in the Marcus Hook, Delaware Co. area. I started to wonder if there was a connection between the COBOURN(E)s in PA, DE & MD. I think I may have found some interesting aspects. Here is a list of the COBOURN(E)s buried at St. Martin's Cemetery in Marcus Hook, Delaware Co., PA: COBOURN, Joseph d. 5 Apr 1829, age 53 yrs COBOURN, Lydia d. 28 Jan 1863 , age 87 yrs COBOURN, Margaret T. d. 15 Aug 1805, age 29 yrs 2 mo 11 days Wife of David COBOURN COBOURN, Rebecca C. or B. d. 1817, age 4 yrs? *COBOURN, Susanna B. no dates *COBOURNE, Joseph -1833 (burial date) COBURN, Eleanor Sep 1896 (burial date) COBURN, Hannah Oct 1822 (burial date) COBURN, Lydia -1849 (burial date) In the "Concord Township," book's by Robert P.

These books you can get though inter library loan or purchase them: Vol. I, in the index is: COEBOURNE, Joseph* Robert Joseph* & Thomas (grist mill) NOTE: Joseph, Thomas & Robert are mentioned in the Will of Michael COULBOURN [COLEBURN] below. COEBOURNE Mill Road Vol. II, in the index is COEBURN'S Mill Here are two COULBOURN [COLEBURN] Wills from Sussex Co., DE 25 Feb 1796 -- Will probate of Michael COULBOURN [COLEBURN], Farmer Sussex Co., DE sons: Thomas, Joseph*, Elijah & Robert COULBOURN daugs: Catherine, Rebecca, Nelly, Anna, Kesiah COULBOURN, Mary WILLIAMS, Priscilla STEWART, Nancy WATTS ex: son Joseph COULBOURN wits: Samuel COOPER, John CANNON, Sophia SMITH 22 Apr 1791 -- Will probate of Curtis SMITH, Planter, Sussex Co., DE wife: Susannah SMITH sons: Hudson, Constantine, John CANNON, Curtis & Trustan SMITH daug: Sally HUDSON exec'rs: wife Susannah SMITH & bro.
