Some of you may be way ahead of me.........and for those who are not, I must share, with Diehl / Deal researchers, the following data. After two years of research, a clue was discovered about 1:00 AM this morning, and with the gracious help of several Delaware Co., PA researchers the following discovery has surfaced. The original theory among the Deals, location later disproven by LUCY DEAL GARLAND, was that "our branch" came from Deale Island, in the Chesapeake Bay, off the coast of the State of Delaware. Actually, they were born on Tinicum Island, in the Delaware River, off the coast of Delaware Co. (formerly Chester Co.) PA. It would appear that our ancestors traveled the Philadelphia Wagon Road and/or the Fall Line Road, from Pennsylvania, to their new homes in Georgia. There is much to be researched and I hope that this bit of information will be of help to all of us, I know that I am very excited. Again, my sincere thanks to the Delaware Co., PA list.
