Marj- In the description it did mention somewhere ( I quickly scanned, as this isnt primarily my interest) the records were composed from different sources, including bible records.

I'll try again: About 3-4 months ago I "discovered" the ONLINE card index to the Bible Records on file at the Delaware Public Archives.

Does anybody on this board have any information about Payne and Johnson that lived in Wocester?  Here is what I have and this has been one of those walls forever.  It also does not help living in Boise, Idaho.   Here's what I have.  Roland Francis Payne who was born 12 Nov 1889 in New Church, Accomack, Virginia.  His mother was Virginia A. Johnson born in 1863 in Welborne, Worcester, Maryland, and his father was Edw Silverthorne Payne born in 1863 in Kleg Grange, Worcester, Maryland.  I got this information from Roland's death certificate.  Roland died 20 Oct 1919 of typhoid.  He was a mechanic working for Young & Son in Pocomoke City, Maryland.   In 1900 I find Roland and his mother living at her father's farm in Stockton, Worcester, Maryland, and according to the 1900 census she was a widow, so it would be great to find out what happened?  Virginia's father was William C. Johnson born in Oct of 1837, and in 1900 he was also a widow according to the census.   March 23, 1910 - Roland married Ethel Mowbray Otten Bonneville in Pocomoke City, Worcester, Maryland where they lived until he died in 1919.  The other big mystery that I have is why did Ethel die?  There is no death certificate for her.  She was also young when she died on 9 Aug 1926.  After she died, my grandmother and her brothers and sisters were raised by their grandparents, Henry Thomas Bonneville and Elizabeth Jane Bennett in Pocomoke City.    As I said, there has been some mystery around this family.  I've been able to get bits and pieces of documentation, but nothing that really puts things together.    Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.   Dan Hawkins    ________________________________ From: -Mike Adkins- <mikefrombethany@yahoo.com> To: "lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com" <lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 17, 2012 7:41 PM Subject: Re: [LDR] "Turkey Trap" of Sussex County I Believe this Smith family also to be in my line.

Pat, It is not operator (meaning me) error. I was on the phone with the tech guy at FamilySearch for over an hour. He verified that it is a programming problem at their end and said he would get back to me when they got closer to fixing it. So far, I have heard nothing back from him.

I have new information ready for descendents of Westerhouse and Waggoman, two related Dutch families who settled in Eastern Shore Virginia and Maryland. Dutch merchants had been trading for Virginia tobacco since before the 1630's. By the 1650's, a small but well-connected community of Dutch skppers, merchants and manufacturers was living among the English residents of Virginia and Maryland. English citizenship had become crucial for the continued export of products (such as tobacco) into Holland, due to the trade embargo imposed during the Anglo-Dutch wars. Several of these Dutch families were originally from Amsterdam. I have recently finished a research project in the archives of Amsterdam, Netherlands, which makes it possible to identify ancestors of Adriaen Westerhouse, who died in 1705 in Northampton County, Virginia, a son of William Westerhouse and Margaretha van Hoochstraten. William Westerhouse is not my ancestor; his wife Margaretha van Hoochstraten is, through her daughter Weyntje Schyn, a child of her first husband, Lourens Schyn, who died in Amsterdam in November, 1638. Weyntje Schyn married Henry Wageman (Waggoman) in 1660 in Hungar's Parish, Northampton County, Virginia. In Amsterdam, I have also found a few generations back of the Dutch ancestors of Henry Wageman (Waggoman), my ancestor. Reports on both sets of families (Westerhouse and Waggoman) can be found on my website, where these reports contain the details, and are annotated with citations to baptism and marriage records & etc. I am not posting the full reports here because the information on the families, plus the notes, would make very long messages to LDR. I hope Westerhouse and Waggoman descendents will find this useful and helpful.To see the articles, go to: Westerhouse: http://17thcenturyhollanders.pbworks.com/w/page/54776247/William%20Westerhouse Waggoman: http://17thcenturyhollanders.pbworks.com/w/page/54777217/Henry%20Waggoman%20of%20Amsterdam%20and%20Virginia I make no profit from visits to this website. It's simply neater to post my reports on the website, where the formatting remains intact. If anyone needs hard copy of the Amsterdam records, feel free to PM me iris.gates AT gmail.com.

Well, not sure they were Dutch...not sure what they were.. The surname is Paty, Patty, Patey..however I ran across an odd spelling of Pede in old Delaware records somewhere which, theoretically, could be pronounced the same way... any mention of Pede in your database?

Well, there is a Dutch surname Pottey, which could sound very similar. What little I have on the ES Pattey family makes them appear English, but who knows. Look for unusual, not-English-sounding names. Provide details of your earliest ancestor of that name, & I'll see if I can make anything of it.

Liz, I just wanted to congratulate you on your work and generosity. I'm not a descendent, but it is so nice to see such a well-documented site. Thank you for sharing!

Hello & happy weekend. I have new information ready for descendents of Westerhouse and Waggoman, two related Dutch families who settled in Eastern Shore Virginia and Maryland. Dutch merchants had been trading for Virginia tobacco since before the 1630's. By the 1650's, a small but well-connected community of Dutch skppers, merchants and manufacturers was living among the English residents of Virginia and Maryland. English citizenship had become crucial for the continued export of products (such as tobacco) into Holland, due to the trade embargo imposed during the Anglo-Dutch wars. Several of these Dutch families were originally from Amsterdam. I have recently finished a research project in the archives of Amsterdam, Netherlands, which makes it possible to identify ancestors of Adriaen Westerhouse, who died in 1705 in Northampton County, Virginia, a son of William Westerhouse and Margaretha van Hoochstraten. William Westerhouse is not my ancestor; his wife Margaretha van Hoochstraten is, through her daughter Weyntje Schyn, a child of her first husband, Lourens Schyn, who died in Amsterdam in November, 1638. Weyntje Schyn married Henry Wageman (Waggoman) in 1660 in Hungar's Parish, Northampton County, Virginia. In Amsterdam, I have also found a few generations back of the Dutch ancestors of Henry Wageman (Waggoman), my ancestor. Reports on both sets of families (Westerhouse and Waggoman) can be found on my website, where these reports contain the details, and are annotated with citations to baptism and marriage records & etc. I am not posting the full reports here because the information on the families, plus the notes, would make very long messages to LDR. I hope Westerhouse and Waggoman descendents will find this useful and helpful.To see the articles, go to: Westerhouse: http://17thcenturyhollanders.pbworks.com/w/page/54776247/William%20Westerhouse Waggoman: http://17thcenturyhollanders.pbworks.com/w/page/54777217/Henry%20Waggoman%20of%20Amsterdam%20and%20Virginia I make no profit from visits to this website. It's simply neater to post my reports on the website, where the formatting remains intact. If anyone needs hard copy of the Amsterdam records, feel free to PM me iris.gates AT gmail.com. If there are any questions, I can answer them here or in PM. Best wishes, Liz J
