    1. [DESUSSEX] Mystery Fleetwood from Delaware
    2. I am researching the following Fleetwood family. I need help trying to correctly identify the given name(s) of the Fleetwood man who married Susan C. Scott between 1868 and 1880. ? Fleetwood (b. ?; d. ?) married Susan C. Scott [b. 2-11-1852 (or '54, or "61, or '62 -- records vary); d. 11-11-1927, Milford, DE; bur. I.O.O.F., Milford, Kent Co., DE] Children of ? Fleetwood & Susan C. Scott: 1. Ida May Fleetwood (b. 9-5-1880, Milford, DE; d. 5-29-1943, Milford, Sussex Co., DE; bur. 6-2-1943, I.O.O.F. Cemetery, Milford, Kent Co., DE). Married on 12-26-1897 to: George Joseph Still (b. 9-22-1873 or maybe 1874, DE; d. 7-21-1952, M ilford, Sussex Co., DE; bur. 7-23-1952, I.O.O.F., Milford, Kent Co., DE). 2. Minnie Fleetwood (b. 4-17-1884, Milford, DE; d. 7-21-1957, Milford, DE; bur. I.O.O.F. Cemetery, Milford, Kent Co., DE). Married Harry Lee Hill (b. 8-14-1882, DE; d. 3-7-1955, Milford, DE; bur. I.O.O.F. Cemetery, Milford, Kent Co., DE). 3. Harry Benjamin "Mike" Fleetwood (b. 12-23-1891, Milford, DE; d. 1-17-1968, Blades, Sussex Co., DE; bur. Blades Cemetery, Blades, Sussex Co., DE) Note: The following children are listed in the Ida May (Fleetwood) & George Joseph Still's family Bible as siblings of Ida May. There is reason to believe that ? Fleetwood married twice, so it is not certain that Susan C. Scott was their mother. No information is known about them except their names. 4. William Fleetwood 5. James Fleetwood 6. George Fleetwood 7. Mary E. Fleetwood Also, buried with Susan C. (Scott) Fleetwood is Elizabeth Fleetwood (b. 1899; d. 1911). Is Elizabeth Susan's and ?'s daughter? Is it possible that she is Mary E. Fleetwood? There is no evidence to support that possibility except that there is no Elizabeth listed as a sibling of Ida May in the family Bible; perhaps Mary E. was Mary Elizabeth. Now, on to the mystery regarding the given name(s) of ? Fleetwood. Ida May (Fleetwood) Still's granddaughter's family Bible listed her great-grandfather (Ida May's father) as Curtis Fleetwood. Ida May's death certificate lists her father as Jehamara Fleetwood based on information provided by her daughter Jennie Minerva (Still) Clarke. Minnie (Fleetwood) Hill's death certificate lists her father as William Fleetwood based on information provided by her daughter Myrtle May (Fleetwood) Reedy. Harry's ("Mike's") death certificate lists his father as Morrow Fleetwood based on information provided by his daughter Katharine (Fleetwood) Stair. All of these sources list Susan C. Scott as his wife. Is it possible that there are other Fleetwood researchers out there who can help us determine what the actual given name(s) of this member of the Fleetwood family is (are)? Thanks for any help you can muster! Karen Carter Minneapolis
