My Townsends starting with William Townsend, Yeoman wife Elizabeth Townsend; sons Stephen, Costin, Solomon and Charles Townsend; daus. Abigail Townsend and Elizabeth Deputy; son-in-law Silvester Deputy are in Sussex County DE long before his death in 1728.. This William is born in Morumsco, Somerset, Maryland and his wife Elizabeth Costin in Hungers Parish, Somerset, Maryland. Most of these movements at this time had little to do with being Loyalist as that is 2-3 generatiosn into the future..mostly had to do with land and marriages. Might be better to see what Townsends are still in Somerset at the time that you lose track of your ancestor..

The Townsends did migrate northward from Virginia eventually to Delaware, but I understood that they had done so in the early 1700s, long before the Revolution. In my own family history, I show Townsend ancestors living in the Milford, DE area as early as 1720. -Stuart >________________________________ >Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 01:01:51 -0500 >From: Mike Adkins <mikefrombethany@yahoo.com> >Subject: [LDR] Snow Hill-Georgetown Connection >To: lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com > >Hello List Members > >I've noticed from researching my family that there seems to be a Snow >Hill, MD - Georgetown, DE connection.

Hi Mike, Some of my Loyalist families made that move. The Sussex PA/DE /Somerset MD/Worcester MD overlap was first settled by a "band" of English families possibly disgruntled with the Jamestown and area society, and many seemed to have gone to Snow Hill first. There was an early movement out of Virginia by these families (for example my BURTONS). The strength of the Anglican/Episcopalian churches in the Lewes/Georgetown area and the aristocratic nature of the society there, even in the wilderness, would indicate the power was Loyalist. These are just some musings. I think the later, or more recent to the War, influx of Presbyterians and Germans represented an opposing view. Jane

My Townsend family link is my 6 great grandmother Susanna ( Manlove?) Townsend Maloney( Meloney) who has 3 children with William Townsend before she marries Richard Meloney. She also marries Joseph Hickman who dies in 1750. William Townsend's brother is Littleton Townsend which is great for me as Littleton seems to have and controls properties in both Maryland and Sussex County DE until his death in 1791. Following him shows me the migration patterns for the family which is always back and forth across the River.. Leah Townsend my 5th great Aunt marries Elias Townsend and has Zadock who ALSO marries a Townsend cousin Priscilla..Rachel Townsend married a Draper So there are a lot of properties for Littleton to manage over the years as Executor for Susanna 's dower properties. I am fortunate also in that Vernon Skinner Works with me on my lines and he tells me that what is currently in the Miles Files is very accurate on this line as : "the info comes from the Sussex Co. Orphan's Court Proceedings, which I abstracted a number of years ago. I feel good about the abstraction..Delaware Public Archives recommends that book as an excellent index... done a bunch of work on the Townsends of Worcester/Sussex Counties." So I see that the Townsends did straddle the boundary at Slaughter neck where 225 acres were the "Townsend Farm" and adjoined the "Draper farm".

I have some speculation, but nothing concrete. Some of mine had property that crossed state/county lines, and often filed things in Worcester because it was closer than Georgetown. As families grew, and property was divided until there was little left, it seems that some went more into Sussex, some stayed nearer to Snow Hill, and others went off to Ohio or other places where there was more land available. There was only so much land available, with the bay on one side and the ocean on the other, and when everyone had 10 children who each had 10 of their own (not exaggerating too much), eventually the land could no longer be divided.

I believe that after the age of 14, minors could petition the Orphans Court to appoind their own guardians. Typically, a guardian was appointed if the minor's mother had been widowed. This was to protect the _financial_ interests of the child (her/his share of father's estate). The child was not necessarily housed with the guardian --this guardian role had to do with the child's inheritance, maintenence, and education. An outside guardian helped to guarantee that a mother's second husband did not abuse the financial interests of the child(ren) to the children's detriment. I'm not sure how the cases of children whose mothers died, but whose fathers survived, were handled. Probably differently, since fathers were assumed to be the breadwinners/financial providers. Legal age for buying/selling properties without signature of an adult was 21 (English law). Before that age (except in rare cases I've seen), minors needed an adult to exceute or sign off on the deal. There were always exceptions.

Hi, I'm looking at Delaware pre-1800 probate records where petitions have been filed to designate a guardian to minors of a deceased parent. This raises a few questions for me, I am wondering if anyone on this list knows the answers?: 1) At what age did minors cease to be minors in that period? 2) Would all minors of a deceased parent require a guardian, or just minors under a certain age? 3) Some of the petitions seem to indicate that the mother was still alive at the time of the petition.  Is that possible or typical? 4) Would a guardianship be sought if the father was widowed but still alive? Thanks! -Stuart

Hello List... I am still looking for more information on my 4th grandfather Sothey KING and his siblings, plus something on his father Caldwell KING. I have also seen an older Sothey KING in my paper files showing him in Worcester Dist., in MD. I know there were several members of this family and descendants and I am hoping that one of the members of the LDR will also have a connection to this family. I have a notebook full of data on the KINGS...some look reliable and others are questionable due to the census takers or possibly talking to neighbors about who is living in the home or their ages, etc. Thank you in advance for any proven information on this family. They have been very interesting to say the least. ;) Regards, Michelle Researching: Mother's lineage TORBERT KING PENNEWILL/PENUEL, PENNEL TOWNSEND CAREY HEARN Fathers: BURRIS STUART NELSON PENNEWILL SORDEN POORE Regards, Michelle Burris Kenerly 591 NC HWY 172 Hubert, NC 28539-3560

It looks like it would include the Green Hill Church (now St Bartholomew), MD,  and if you are correct, to Laurel, Delaware. Do you have any maps or descriptive references stating this geographical designation by any chance? I have supposed ancestors [Waller] who had property named both Stepney & Parish and do not know where to begin how to find those actual property pieces, as well as most of their children of the 1700's+ were listed in the Stepney Parish Register (Ruth Dryden).  It is confusing because I thought my familiy's land was around the MD/DEL line between today's Mardela & Delmar, which seems a bit far from old Green Hill Church, if that is where Stepney Parish Records came from. I would be grateful for any assistance on this.

I find 23 records of land in Worcester County, owned by various Wallers --namely a Nathaniel Waller, and a Thomas Sr. and Thomas Jr Waller. Some of the records contain scans that can be read online, or downloaded and saved. I just took a sample of one of these records. This was in 1748, Thomas Waller, and part of the description specified that it was "on the Borders", wherever that is. If you haven't used plats.net before, here's the URL: http://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/stagser/s1500/s1529/html/0000.html Then choose the county. On that page, select [Name of County] County Land Survey, Subdivision, and Condominium Plats. This should be the top selection. On the next page, select Advanced Search. From there, you can input the surname (or part of it), or you could also input part of the name of a plantation or tract. Then look for those records that have Direct scans. Records that can't be read online (no scans) can be ordered. There used to be a password, but it hasn't asked me for it any time in the last couple of years. But the password was never a secret: plato.

Dear George & Everyone I have been unsuccessfully searching for the parents of Alexander S. Dill 1818-1878 for years. He is my 2GGF married to Celia (Selah) Wright of Roger Wright & Elizabeth LNU in 1839. I have the censuses from 1840 to 1870. I have his children. He lived in Kent, DE and was a master carpenter and painter. He served in the Civil war and there is a pension file. That is where I got his death date. Also the name of a niece Aner Swift who was in the poorhouse and married a William Smallwood. He was indentured in 1832 in DE to a David Stayton. I would appreciate any help, direction etc anyone can offer. I have his children and have followed them forward but no one has Alex's parents. One of his children is Alex Dill, Jr. who also served in the Civil War. Alex Sr. appointed his son-in law Matthias R. King, grandson of Southy King as his executor. Matthias declined this honor saying he was too busy. I would love to know more about Alex'r's parentage but have been stuck for years. I think we even communicated years ago with Steve who was helping me at that time.

Hello Deborah... This is the right family as I recognize the name of Matthias KING in my files. You may have seen Sothey KING'S will on line ( I have gotten that will also from the Delaware Archives in Dover). It is very interesting with the spellings, etc., but that was expected for that time period. Thank you for letting me know your family connection. Additionally, I would like to know for certain the name of Sothey's father. Someone sent me a name once but that's the only time I have ever seen it...also there is another Sothey KING which I would like to know if it is the grandfather or uncle due to an early date. You may contact me off line and we can discuss more about the family. I also have a funny story to tell you about looking for Noble J. KINGS gravesite and the location. ;) Regards, Michelle ----- Original Message ----- From: "Deborah Adles" <dadles@gmail.com> To: <lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2014 11:06 AM Subject: Re: [LDR] Sothey KING of Delaware > My 2GGF Alexander Dill had a daughter, Mary J.
