Well, there have been Dills in Kent County, but that is some distance from Whiteleysburg. I don't think Maryland has any protection for family burial grounds though sometimes you will see in a deed language reserving the family plot. I'm not sure that has ever made a difference to a determined farmer. Cecil Meeting was set up in the late 1600s at a time when the northern half of Kent County was considered Cecil County. Hence the name. Whack-boing! It's dub! www.thecheappages.com On May 22, 2013, at 3:00 AM, lower-delmarva-roots-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > There are no Dills listed in the index.

Thanks, will do as you suggest. I have the feeling, (for what that is worth) that when the undertakers involved sold out or died and their businesses were turned over to another, they might have included their records, if not they may be in an attic somewhere. But, I keep getting inklings that undertakers have been reluctant to share these records, if they have them at all. I can understand them, the undertakers, not wanting to be bothered with those of us "just looking". What is surprising to me is that genealogical societies have not been able to seek out and scan. Perhaps I should try to make a sort of family tree of undertakers i.e., who was doing business in the Chestertown area in the mid 1800s and who bought that business. Just another string to pull.

The Historical Society of Kent County (use google) has assorted tombstone record books. I'm not aware of any records from Hynson Chapel, which was Methodist. Perhaps there is a central repository for records turned over when it closed? If you google Marge Fallaw, you should get an email address (it begins cliokent@ ...) and Marge may have more pointers for you. Will check the 1883 bound volume if I can find it.

I noticed the exchange concerning a book of grave listings in the Kent County Public Library, complete with a map and graves index, called the Cecil Burial Ground Book. From 1702 to nearly 1800 my ancestors, John and Sarah Dill owned a farm and lived in Kent Co., DE near Whiteleysburg, MD. They had a family graveyard on their farm. I have seen some mention of that graveyard but when I inquired about visiting there I was told that the new owners had cleared the stones, plowed up the field and that area is now farmed.

Even into the 1900s, births and funerals were often at the home. There would not necessarily be a church involved. Delaware did not require records until circa 1915, and Maryland until 1898. There may be some, but they are not all that common. The mortality rate in the 1800s was quite high, compared to more modern times. Elizabeth In a message dated 5/20/2013 8:30:14 A.M.

Trying to find the burial site of a relative who died in October of 1883, according to the Kent News, “near the Chester Bridge”. Family word of mouth says she is buried at “Old Hynson Chapel”. Their written records, online, do not show her name. Undertakers records are hard to come by and the records of funeral directors no easier. Can anyone suggest another approach or a better idea? Laura’s husband, B.F. Joiner was a farmer. She did not have a will. They had little in the way of property. B. F. Joiner's stone was placed by a granddaughter in another cemetery long after he died.

Thank you all so much. I have found William H. Jarman and Ellen/Eleanor Trader/Trador in the 1900 census, but I would like to find out more after that and of course information about their parents. I want to be well prepared when I go. Any help or suggestions is always welcome with me!Nancy > From: lower-delmarva-roots-request@rootsweb.com > Subject: LOWER-DELMARVA-ROOTS Digest, Vol 8, Issue 66 > To: lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com > Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 01:00:25 -0600 > > > > LOWER-DELMARVA-ROOTS Administrivia > > For information about the Lower Delmarva Roots Mailing List, including list guidelines and instructions for unsubscribing and subscribing, see the LDRoots FAQ: > > http://www.tyaskin.com/handley/ldrfaq.htm > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

George, I had my mtDNA tested and would not recommend that avenue. First of all, the mtDNA test is for your mother, her mother, and on down through your female ancestors on your maternal line only. The Family Finder test might be a better alternative, or at least that is what several people have said. I do not know how many generations back you can get results for. Maybe someone else that has experience with it can help. Ron Davis Woodland, CA George Dill wrote: > I have been trying to find where my Dill ancestors came from in Europe.
