Saw Bob Nichols research surnames and location. I have been researching the Underground Railroad and had Seaford's Gateway Park and Riverwalk designated as a Harriet Tubman escape site of the slave Tilly in the National Park Service's Network to Freedom Program (Tilly Escape Site, Gateway to Freedom: Harriet Tubman's Daring Route through Seaford, DE - http://www.nps.gov/subjects/ugrr/ntf_member/ntf_member_details.htm?SPFID=583 908&SPFTerritory=Delaware&SPFType=NULL&SPFKeywords=NULL) . I had started my research on the local Underground Railroad thinking that the nearby Nicholites might be involved especially after the first Fugitive Slave Act of 1795 and continued through to the Civil War era. Instead found that the Nicholites (Nicolites) mostly moved south or entered into the NW Fork Meeting House Quakers as regular members. But.. I sure would like to know if there is any documentation that the sect, or even the NW Fork Quakers, were involved in the aiding of slaves to freedom. Wm Still in Philadelphia interviewed multiple escaping slaves of the Seaford/Laurel area in his book U.G.R.R. and someone helped them get there. It would be very interesting to find out who those "conductors" were. Because of my work, I am really only interested in the greater Seaford area (School District, Hundred, Postal area in Delaware (yes, one of the towns with a Seaford Post office Zip is in Md.!) - which are not the same borders but close). Appreciate anyone's knowledge on the topic or references to contemporary to the times documentation. Thanks. Jim

John, I don't know that I can help your search, but I am interested in your results. I am a descendent of James S. Thompson (b. 1779) of Dagsboro Hundred. His wife was certainly named Nancy and all of the conventional wisdom says her last name was Short. However, I have seen the death record of her last surviving son, who died in White County, Indiana in 1905, and it lists his mother's maiden name as Betts. Nancy was born in 1796 in Sussex County and died in 1870 in Cass County, Indiana. I believe she was a daughter of Jonathan Betts of Broad Creek Hundred who was born, per the 1800 census, between 1756 and 1774. (It may be that your Jonathan and mine are the same person.) The Thompsons lived on a tributary flowing into what is today Betts Pond, which flows into Millsboro Pond. Broad Creek Hundred is directly west of Dagsboro Hundred. The two hundreds have lots of Betts' and Shorts, as well as Marvels, Prettymans and Carys. They all intermarried frequently. In 1840 James and his family of 9 children and their families all packed up and moved to rural Cass County, Indiana. The Curtis Short family of Broad Creek Hundred came as well.  Over the next 15 years several other Sussex County families came, as well. I would like to be able to prove Nancy's lineage.   Jay Thompson just an old genealogy nut too tough to crack. ________________________________ From: John Welsh <jlwelsh26@yahoo.com> To: "LOWER-DELMARVA-ROOTS@rootsweb.com" <LOWER-DELMARVA-ROOTS@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 28, 2013 12:29 AM Subject: [LDR] James Betts Jr. b. 1792 Good Morning, I am new to this list and to the Betts line that I am trying to research.

Marjorie, the ones I'm looking for are from Dorchester County. My William, married Elizabeth Cohee around 1814. I have not been able to find William's parents (or Elizabeth's), but some connection on Ancestry led me to believe that a Richard (circa 1790s) was a brother to this William. I can't find anything on the Richard's parents either.

No, Barbara, none of these are direct relations. I'm sure they are all related somehow, but not in the direct line I'm looking for, but thanks anyway.

No sorry, all I have is the name Sarah Jane Taylor, but do not know who any of her family members were.  She married Littleton Jenkins and they had a daughter named Elizabeth born about 1840.

Jackie Helmke .... I don't know to whom your question is addressed, but since I posted on this item I will respond. I do not know the answer to your specific question. William Peery, Gentleman, had high standing in the community and there is some info about him in the records. During the Revolution he was a Commanding Officer of the local militia (I do not think they were Continental Army troops) and serve on a number of local boards. This small bit of info does not help answer your question, but he should be quite researchable. His name if possibly a misspelling of "Perry" but the spellings of his name which I saw were always spelled Peery. Hope this will help, even a little bit. Joe Lake ----- Thank you for the information all of you have provided. Was William Peery any relation to Robert Peery/Peerie who was a school teacher? Archibald Smith in his Will, 1729, Lewes, Sussex co DE refers to "Uncle" Robert Peerie. How was he an Uncle to Archibald Smith?

Years ago we visited Lewes DE, it was then charming and you could visualize how it had been. I understand now it is built up with condos. In 1723 and around that time, it was the first place ships could get fresh water. It was even attacked one time by pirates...
