    1. [DESUSSEX] LIGHTHOUSES IN SUSSEX COUNTY
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: JoniRabena Surnames: SMITH Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.delaware.counties.sussex/3207/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Just trying to clarify my findings so hope someone can help. 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.
