Don't know if he's yours or not, but there was a Manlove Hayes who built a large home in 1864 in Dover, DE. According to what his descendent (L.D. Shank) was telling me, he was a Quaker. The Manlove Hayes House is still in existance and is not on THE historic registry, but is on one of the next tiers down. He owned a decent chunk of land.

Wow Kari, This is a lot of work!!! So many Hignett's, Smith's, etc., I would fear adding any of this to my tree without further data, but this does give us a lot to try to work with! I did add one marriage that I knew exsisted but had never added as well. Thank you for sharing this wonderful data with us!

Hi, Everyone has probably googled oldest funeral home in Delaware and found Faries Funeral Home in Smyrna established in 1831. http://fariesfuneralhome.com/history.cfm . Another site lists Faries as one of the 100 oldest family businesses. and the 7th oldest family owned funeral home in the country. But what type of files would they have? Here in Mobile Alabama, someone, I believe, over ten years ago discovered some cards in the basement of a defunked funeral home, I believe. These cards had information regarding some of those they had arranged services and these cards included next of kin where born and date of birth, father and mother, and plot where buried. The Mobile genealogical society members did take care of the cards and I believe they had a soft cover book printed. So there is one funeral home's records which have been preserved.

I have had a different perspective on Betty Waples daughter of Paul Waples and Temperence Derrickson... First: I think that Paul and Temprance were born around 1710 and Betty in the mid 1730s... Second: I think Betty married William Vaughan bef. Jan. 8, 1757 with Wm passing bef. March 15, 1775 as seen thru the will of Betty's mother Temperance Waples who says Betty is now the widow of William Vaughan.(will transcribed below noting Wm is deceased). There is at least a possibility that she then married Levin Vaughan, probable cousin to Wm. Vaughan, dec'd. My wife's line comes from this union with Charles and Samuel Vaughan as issue. Then Levin died intestate in or before 1779... At one time I thought she may have quickly married a Jesse King and died shortly thereafter but the will indicates that Betty King (late Betty Vaughan) also had a son John Burton.. (The Burton surname did continue down another generation however as Joseph Burton Vaughan was born abt. 1797 and he named a daughter after his great aunt, Nancy Derrickson Vaughan who married Edward Parker McCauley - my wife's surname).. Anyway, obviously there is considerable confusion over this line and with so many Vaughans named Charles, William, and Levin, it is no wonder. If anyone has a better idea, I would love to hear it... Here is the transcribed will: 1775 Will of Temperance Waples In the Name of God Amen.

Thanks for sending a copy of the will of Temperence Derrickson. I believe that there is are errors in some of the dates given by Ed Vaughn. 1. William Vaughan, Jr.  1710-1785     According to the Will below, he died before the will was written. Therefore, he died before Mar 15, 1775. 2. Dudson Bacon 1715-1784     According to his notes, probate of the will took place on Oct 3, 1783. He had to die first the will got probated.

Kari: Here's a rather in-depth history of funeral homes. http://www.deathreference.com/En-Gh/Funeral-Industry.html Kathi Jones-Hudson MD Tombstone Transcription Project Manager http://www.usgwtombstones.org/maryland/maryland.html

James Ridgeway and family was listed in the 1800 Census of Talbot Co., MD. This is another name which John Culleney/Colony named a son, James Ridgeway Culleney. Anyone have any information on this family from Talbot Co in the1800s?

Hi, Anyone have information on Charles Colony listed in Broadkiln Hundred, Sussex Co's 1800 Census? He had 12 in the household of which 5 were males. Its very strange where there are lots of Colony families on the Accomack Co., VA census in 1810 they aren't there in 1820. Did they miss Accomack Co in 1820? Or is HeritageQuest site not complete?

Respecting the Armstrong connection, and perhaps a helpful collateral line of search, one finds a James Armstrong listed on the 1880 Stockton Worcester census page 34; perhaps not coincidentally it lists him as a "shoemaker." Further, it shows him with his own identification number -entry 281 - while my great grandfather Ben Finnegan is entry 280. Maybe the family moved south. ----- Original Message ----- From: mydesire@gulftel.com<mailto:mydesire@gulftel.com> To: Lower-Delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com<mailto:Lower-Delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2009 12:29 PM Subject: [LDR] George Armstrong, DE Census 1810 Hello, My ancestor, John Culleny, gave middle names to his sons per his Will written 1817.

Some years ago I obtained a copy of the publication “New Light on Old Barratt’s” copyright 1984 written by Allen B. Clark and Jane Herson. In addition to a lot of history about the structure and the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Methodist Church there is quite a bit of information on the Barrett and Sipple families. My line is with the youngest of the children of Philip Barrett, Jr. and Miriam Sipple, Lydia Barrett, who married Matthew Patton, Sr. Lydia’s birth is recorded, July the 6th 1780, in the family bible now on display in the Museum at Barratt’s. On page 47 a reference is made to Lydia during the Civil War when she was then an aged widow. “Aunt Lydia made her home with different relatives and in the course of yearly peregrinations; she arrived for a visit with a relative in the neighborhood of Barratt’s Chapel.” More details followed concerning her visit at the Chapel. This piece of information, or folklore, was footnoted: page 48, footnote 23. This tale has passed down to modern times from Mrs. Joseph Roop, who was the great-great niece of Lydia Barratt Patton, and was told to Jane Herson in July, 1983 by Mr. Millis Hurley, Milford Historian and a friend of Mrs. Roop’s daughter. I have always wondered if someone in this family may have other information to share about Lydia Barratt, information that would not have been included in the book about the Church history. If anyone is in contact with this Roop family or others that might know something about this I would love to get more information. Perhaps something more might have been archived in another location. I know that Lydia lived with each of her two sons, Matthew Patton, Jr. and Barrett Patton during some of the years after she was widowed in 1829 in Maryland. Evidently she must have spent time with some of her Delaware relatives too. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I believe Matthew Patten was married previously to Sally ? . There is a tombstone at Barratt’s Chapel for her: Sally, wife of Matthew Patton who departed this life Sept. 30th 1790, age 25 years and 9 months. Another researcher once shared with me that she had seen information somewhere that this was Sally Dill, but didn’t recall where she’d gotten that information. Does anyone out there have this connection, perhaps a Dill researcher? The next piece of information that I have on Matthew Patton Sr. is a recorded sale of personal property in Caroline Co. MD. dated Dec.3, 1799. Matthew Patten to Benjamin Dill, of Kent Co. Delaware. In consideration 55 pounds bill of sale for furniture, 12 pairs of shoes, a carriage body and top. Acknowledged by John Bennett and Joshua Clark. Another Dill connection. I’m hoping that someone might have some knowledge of this Dill Family that might give me some more clues on this couple, Matthew Patten/Patton and wife Lydia Barrett.

There were some funeral homes in the 1800s. One of my great-grandmothers was buried in a regular cemetery, but the funeral was at home and the casket came from a furniture store (1932). One of my grandfathers died in 1934, and the funeral was at his parents' home but arranged by a funeral home. I think it varied from place to place, making a definite answer nearly impossible. I do know that prior to the Civil War, the stuff used for "preserving" the corpse could also have been used for a roast beef, but when bodies started being shipped distances to home during the war, other methods came into vogue, including arsenic. People are still buried in family cemeteries today, but I haven't heard lately of funerals actually taking place at home, possibly because we no longer have parlors which are not in general use by the family.

My father asked me an interesting question yesterday that I can't answer am hoping someone out there can. When family members were buried on family property, such as these little gravesites you see in the middle of fields, etc., were funeral homes involved in that or were they jus buried and a stone erected? I know often times the bodies were laid out in the homes for several days before burial, but who took on the responsibility of the burial and stone? Also when did actual funeral homes come into existence as far as that being a place to hold a funeral and not just meet with the undertaker? I hope I haven't made my questions too confusing, I'm really not sure how to word what I'm thinking. Kari Andrew Farnell researching Andrew, Lomax, Appel, Fischbach

Hello. My Lancaster Co., VA(west side of the Chesapeake Bay)ancestor born abt 1749 named her third son her maiden name, Bailey. She was married 1769 and the first son was after husband's grandfather(or husband's father both William), second son was named after her father(John), third son was named after the husband(Henry), and the fourth son was her maiden name. This seems to be a practice with lots of either English or Scottish families. Seems like this naming would have resolved the despute about my first born son - he would have been Joseph. I believe this is why some have been called by their middle names!

In my husband's line, he has a John T. Hayes that married a Henrietta Gary and he is as far back as we have gone.  Presumably he would have been born somewhere in the vicinity of 1820, but we have no actual dates.  John and Henrietta had 8 children, one of whom was Kathryn Gary Hayes.  Kathy Stillings Moore ________________________________ From: CarolS Jones <grannyjo2@verizon.net> To: lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, January 4, 2009 1:56:22 PM Subject: [LDR] Alexander Hayes I am looking for the parents of Alexander Hayes [b abt 1800 in Delaware] - found as an Innkeeper in the 1850 census in Monongalia Virginia [W.Va.] - married abt 1821 to Pheobe Davis [b abt 1805 in Virginia].  Their children are Nancy, Catherine, Manlove, Elizabeth, John A., Hester Ann [ married Milton Y.
