Hi, I'm passing this on to Delaware & the Eastern Shore of Maryland mailing list, because there are so many people listed in this 1860 census record mentioned as having been born in DE & MD. I know there was a large inflex from DE & MD to Delaware Co., PA, in the 1880s because of industry -- my WEBBER Family being one of them. I was a little surprised to see it as early as 1860 or before. Don't just rely on the surname index -- there are some names missing from it -- go to the town, township, borough, etc. where your relative may have lived. The following was sent to me by Karen << [email protected] >> Here ya go, Helen, <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~cenfiles/pa/delaware/1860/">1860 Federal Census for Delaware County, PA</A> or http://www.rootsweb.com/~cenfiles/pa/delaware/1860/ This should take you right to it. It's a list of files. In order to find someone, you'll need first to go to the Index folder near the bottom of the list. Unfortunately, the index files are given numbers rather than alphabetic names, so you have to fish around until you find the proper index file. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy to navigate. You can always save the files in your favorites and rename them (not the http:// designation, just the descriptive name on your system). Have fun! Karen Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

Stokely, my Grandfather, written at the old home in Coolspring, Mercer County. Transcribed July 7th, 1914 by Mary E. Hart, daughter of the 2nd Donna Bianca Perimale Stokely"]. Ben's family lived in the area of EARLY West moreland County that became Fayette County (Luzerne Twp., near Mirritstown), Nehemiah Stokely is the only Stokely relative I know of who located in what we now know as (North Huntington/Sewickley Twp.) Westmoreland County. Ben later became one of, or the earliest settler in today's Mercer County. Introduction: The following pages relative to the life of Benjamin Stokely were penned at his request and were written at a time before his death wile in sound mind, but feeble in body, and may be depended upon as containing a true history, so far as embraced by this narrative, of his life, etc. June 1843. I was born in the state of Delaware about 7 miles from Lewiston in the County of Sussex on the 4th day of October 1766. My father was John Stokely, and my mother was Mary Baynes. I was the last of 7 children, three of whom were sons and four daughters. Elizabeth, the oldest; Thomas, the second; Mary, the third; John, the fourth; Anna, the fifth; Leydia, the sixth; and myself, the seventh. The earliest recollections of my life extend as far back as 1769. In the year following in April of 1770, my father died. I have no recollection of anything worthy of notice having taken place in 1771. In the fall of 1772 my oldest sister was married to John Conwell by Gilbert Parker, Esq., one of the Justices of the Peace commissioned by King George III. Of the years 1773 and 1774 I have nothing material to narrate. In the fall of the year 1775, my mother and family, composed then of 6 children, removed to Redstone, then Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. In the year 1776 my mother married Charles McClane, about the month of August, and removed to Grass Creek, state of Virginia. About this time, the western settlements were very much harassed by the Indians. The Americans were then raging with violence and the Indians murdering and plundering on all the frontier. During that year the few scattering families were under the necessity of seeking protection from the forts or places where the people had collected to defend themselves against the assaults of the Indians. Into one of these, that is called Grave Creek Fort, my mother, step-father and part of the family went for safety. In the fall of this year my brother Thomas entered the American Army. In the fall of 1777 my mother died at the home of my brother-in-law, John Connelly [Conwell], having lately left the fort. In the fall of 1778 my brother Thomas returned from the army. In the fall of 1779 I returned from Fayette, then Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania, and continued there until late in the fall of that year, and then went back to Fayette Co., where I resided about 5 years. During this time, I learned the tanners trade and shoemakers trade, in part and while learning a trade, I improved an opportunity offered by going to school...

I'm trying to solve the puzzle of how most references place his birth in Edenton, Chowan, NC while he appears to have grown up in Sussex Co., DE. I am also interested in information on Thomas' wife, Elizabeth Montford/Mountford/Mumphford/Mumford (have seen all four spellings). I have her born in Sussex Co., DE on Mar 17, 1765; m. June 9, 1788 in Cool Springs & Lewes Presbyterian Church, Sussex, DE -- the Vital Records list the marriage as "Major Stokely and Betsey Mumford". I was also interested to read about your relative, Nehemiah. I was wondering whether he may be the Nehemiah Stockley b. Nov. 18, 1753 in Sussex Co., DE (about the same age as Thomas); parents: Woodman and Comfort Stockley. Do you know if they are the same person? I'd be happy to exchange information on this family -- feel free to contact me directly.

My notes have John and Naomi Little (Niomi in Vital Records, F. Edward Wright) married on Dec. 30, 1780 in Sussex Co., DE. However, I have two children born to "John Stokely" (no listing for wife), an "unnamed" (died at birth?) born on Sep 13, 1783 and Benjamin, born Oct 20, 1792 -- both in Sussex Co., DE. Also, John is listed in a couple of places (Vital Records, Probate Records) as a "carpenter" or "ship's carpenter". This would place him in DE later than your records indicate. There was also a John Stockley in Sussex, b. Mar 25, 1745 to Joshua and Jemima Stockley, and it is not always clear who is who. Your John had a brother Benjamin and that family tended to spell their name Stokely, hence I have assum! ed that your John was the father. By 1790, I do have Thomas in Washington Co.and Benjamin in Fayette Co., PA. By 1800, I have Lydia and Samuel Craig in Derry, Westmoreland, PA and Elizabeth and Jehu Conwell in Luzerne, Fayette, PA. That's about all I can offer at the moment; hope it helps -- feel free to contact me directly; would love to compare notes on this family. Thomas is my 4G Grandfather.

Isaac's second wife Margaret may not have been born surnamed "John". Their marriage bond, evidently written by Samuel Basnett (who was the bride's surety), states that Margaret Rice was "daughter of John" with the "John written in very faintly. Did Samuel Basnett mean she was daughter of John Basnett, or of a John Rice? These are equally possible. Thus far no one has come forward with a parental probate record that could clear up Margaret's birth identity. Isaac Davis and Margaret and family (hers and theirs) moved to Pleasants Co., WV, where they were neighbors to the family of Isaac's cousin (on both of their mothers' sides), Hynson C. Poynter.
