If you find a site that gives a history of the keepers please let me know. My Great Great Uncle was also one of the keepers at Fenwick. Joan ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Appointment of Lighthouse Keepers would have been a matter of political patronage; you may be able to locate some record of appointments through the Library of Congress site too. Since one of my distant cousins was one of the Assistant Lighthouse Keepers at Jupiter Inlet Light in Florida, I had the happy experience of finding the following site: http://www.lighthousefriends.com which has a lot of information and you will be able to make contact with a lot of lighthouse fans there who might be able to provide more specific leads on how to find more information. There is also a rootsweb message board on 'occupatons' under 'topics', and you could get some response by posting there as well, concerning 'lighthouse keepers'.

Does anyone here have a list of businesses from the early 1800's. I thought I saw something about a business called Bennett & Smith that was owed money for goods given during the War of 1812 and would like to know more about it.

I got this info from my mother so she may have not got it right. I'll call grandmom this weekend and find out for sure. Were you able to get to the website I posted? I have a picture of Robert Tucker's headstone. He died in 1911. He is buried in St Johnstown Cemetery in Greenwood, Del. His death certificate lists Levin Tucker as his father, mother unknown. Robert married Elizabeth Jarvis in 1854. Do you have any info on her parents? I have been unable to find her in the 1850 census. Robert L. is also buried at St Johnstown too, I also have a picture of his headstone. Do you have any info for Roberts father Levin? Is this the Levin Tucker who made the bounty land claim for his brother Zaddock who died in the Battle of Camden? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My John Smith and family, including son Levin, were on the 1860 Federal Census in Baltimore Hundred, Millsboro. They were both listed as Lighthouse Keepers. I have been advised that a John Smith was the first lighthouse keeper on Fenwick Island from 1859 to 1861. I believe this may be the above family. Would there be a closer lighthouse that was running in 1860? to Millsboro, or could someone shed light on census records for lighthouse keepers and their families. Thank you.

Tindall, age 3 years, living with his grandparents on Willow Street in Laurel, Sussex county, Delaware. Their names were Wm. and Edith E. Boyce. Mr. Boyce's middle initial was either 'I' or 'J'. He is listed as a driver of a fertilizer truck. He was 60 and Edith was 50. All three were born in Delaware, as were all of their parents. If I find more, I'll post it. Perhaps it will help.

Hi Harold, I found an Irvin M. Tindall, age 3 and some months (difficult to read) on the 1930 census on Willow Street, in Laurel, Sussex County, Delaware. He was living with his grandparents, William J. and Edith E. Boyce. William J. Boyce was a truck driver, it looks like it says a "Fert., Truck." There was also an Irvin Tindall, age 3 and some months (also difficult to read), son of Marshall Tindall and his wife, whose name I can't read, and their daughter Edith, age 11/12 years. They rented a home on 4th Street in Brandywine, New Castle County, Delaware.Marshall Tindall was a house painter. Both families were from Delaware, parents or grandparents as well as the two boys names Irvin. I'm not sure if this is any help at all but it might narrow down where exactly he was from.

Both had moved away from Delaware by this time. Since we have been unable to locate just where in Delaware they lived we have continued to hit a brick wall.
