I am no expert, but I have intensively looked at the families I named in that area and, of course, I would be happy to share anything I know/have. In addition, I know others still living in the area who share an interest in family history and whose families extend beyond my sphere of knowledge. Other families in the "triangle" that are tangential to those I claim are Owens, Lowe, Kinney, Kinniken, Bradley, Wright, Twilley, Rider, Ralph, Freeny, Truitt, Wheatley, Goslee, Bounds, Culver, Hastings, Walker, Beach, Messick, Jones, Mills, Robinson and Calloway. Needless to say, there are quite a few others, including folks who I know and, hopefully, can speak with, but most in this have some relevance to my own family history.

Little Creek Hundred is substantially larger than the portions to which I referred. Perhaps there are Taylors in the Districts farther to the East. I do know that the names found in western Little Creek Hundred in the 1868 atlas represent a very stable set of surnames. These families have lived in southwestern Delaware, with few changes, from the 17th century until the 1970s. The two map sets to which I referred were separated in time by only 19 years- close enough, I think, to be considered essentially contemporaneous. So to me the implication is that Jim would do better looking to nearby Wicomico/Somerset County, rather than Sussex for the antecedents of John B. Taylor. That said, there certainly were Taylors living in Sharptown in the twentieth century. Don't know if they were any relation....

In addition, the notes on the plate include the following: Under "Sharptown Business References." John B.

I am no expert, but I have intensively looked at the families I named in that area and, of course, I would be happy to share anything I know/have. In addition, I know others still living in the area who share an interest in family history and whose families extend beyond my sphere of knowledge. Other families in the "triangle" that are tangential to those I claim are Owens, Lowe, Kinney, Kinniken, Bradley, Wright, Twilley, Rider, Ralph, Freeny, Truitt, Wheatley, Goslee, Bounds, Culver, Hastings, Walker, Beach, Messick, Jones, Mills, Robinson and Calloway. Needless to say, there are quite a few others, including folks who I know and, hopefully, can speak with, but most in this have some relevance to my own family history. Curiously, in Sharptown (pop. 600 - 700) there are two groups of Bennetts, who share no apparent link. At least other, more experienced researchers haven't found one so far.

Little Creek Hundred is substantially larger than the portions to which I referred. Perhaps there are Taylors in the Districts farther to the East. I do know that the names found in western Little Creek Hundred in the 1868 atlas represent a very stable set of surnames. These families have lived in southwestern Delaware, with few changes, from the 17th century until the 1970s. The two map sets to which I referred were separated in time by only 19 years- close enough, I think, to be considered essentially contemporaneous. So to me the implication is that Jim would do better looking to nearby Wicomico/Somerset County, rather than Sussex for the antecedents of John B. Taylor. That said, there certainly were Taylors living in Sharptown in the twentieth century. Don't know if they were any relation....

Little Creek Hundred is substantially larger than the portions to which I referred. Perhaps there are Taylors in the Districts farther to the East. I do know that the names found in western Little Creek Hundred in the 1868 atlas represent a very stable set of surnames. These families have lived in southwestern Delaware, with few changes, from the 17th century until the 1970s. The two map sets to which I referred were separated in time by only 19 years- close enough, I think, to be considered essentially contemporaneous. So to me the implication is that Jim would do better looking to nearby Wicomico/Somerset County, rather than Sussex for the antecedents of John B. Taylor. That said, there certainly were Taylors living in Sharptown in the twentieth century. Don't know if they were any relation....

Lloyd- Thanks very much. If by offline, you mean to me directly, my email address is tbphillips@verizon.net. I am travelling, but I have at home the Beers 1868 Atlas of Delaware (Hundreds). I have all the pages photographed and have noticed that in the Little Creek Hundred there is/are LeCates near Bacon, but on the west side, but still east of Providence Road. The/a LeCates married in the early 1800s with the Ellis family (my first interest) and I always assumed it was that Lecates who was involved. I have discovered more recently that I should look a bit to the east of Rte. 13 (as you suggest), because quite a few Hearn(e)s had property in that area as well. I also had a high school friend in Delmar, Keith LeCates, but was not into family history enough to know that he might have been from a family I would be interested in. A Gordy married an early Ellis as well, but it was too tangential for me to look into yet. As to the Nichols family, besides my gr gr grandmother, I have kept a few other Nichols in my Ancestry "shoebox", assuming that because I could see so few, there was a high likelihood of finding a relationship. Interestingly, Theresa also was the gr grandmother of Dr. Wilbur Perce Ellis, M. D., of Laurel, DE, my childhood G. P. All of the references to Theresa Nichols, both before and after marriage, show her as living in Little Creek Hundred, but my impression is that she/they always lived close to the state line. Many of her children lived near Sharptown, just inside DE. One other link to the Nichols family just came up. While on vacation, I am transcribing some notes my sister made with a "cousin" from my parents generation, who lived in Laurel and was one of those people who had an old fashioned interest in family history. I don't know where her records are, but her knowledge was pretty extensive, at least according to the notes. According to Bernice (I think her name was Bernice Brock), Nelly Bly Ellis (you just have to love the names) married a Grady Nichols, but that must have been in the very early 20th cent.

You have confirmed what I had figured out by looking at the census'--yea!!! The genealogist who did some Waller research for us in the early 1990's had totally misspelled the LeCates name, and as I researched it years later, I figured the name was LeCates. The way I piece it together is that Rosa's mother was Mary A. Nichols m. Minos Gordy, had Rosa b. 11/12/1869 & a younger sister. Minos passed, Mary remarried to John W. Lecates and they had a son, then Mary died. The story handed down in our family was that Rosa was an orphan; I wonder whether she stayed with the LeCates family til her marriage to George Alfred Waller? Should I look for any Orphan's Court records? I thought Mary was buried in the Nichols cemetary as were Rosa and the first 2 children of George Alfred Waller & Rosa E., but the Mary A.E. Nichols on the cemetary list done by by Mike Hitch does not match her dates. I think I can find the Census records, but if you have that or other records documenting this situation, I would love to have a copy (eg. Mary m. John Lecates).

Most had to do with the family of Jacob Nichols (born about 1844 in MD). I will send you a file offline that shows more info. The Nichols farm is very close to where Minos and Mary Gordy lived when they had Rosa Gordy.

Both families, Wallers in particular, were involved with the Ellis family west of Delmar in Little Creek Hundred, as well as a little south towards Salisbury. I also am interested in anythng you know about Mary Nichols. My gr gr grandmother was a Theresa (Trecia?) Nichols, but I know nothing more and there are not a lot of the Nichols family around the area.

You have confirmed what I had figured out by looking at the census'--yea!!! The genealogist who did some Waller research for us in the early 1990's had totally misspelled the LeCates name, and as I researched it years later, I figured the name was LeCates. The way I piece it together is that Rosa's mother was Mary A. Nichols m. Minos Gordy, had Rosa b. 11/12/1869 & a younger sister. Minos passed, Mary remarried to John W. Lecates and they had a son, then Mary died. The story handed down in our family was that Rosa was an orphan; I wonder whether she stayed with the LeCates family til her marriage to George Alfred Waller? Should I look for any Orphan's Court records? I thought Mary was buried in the Nichols cemetary as were Rosa and the first 2 children of George Alfred Waller & Rosa E., but the Mary A.E. Nichols on the cemetary list done by by Mike Hitch does not match her dates. I think I can find the Census records, but if you have that or other records documenting this situation, I would love to have a copy (eg. Mary m. John Lecates). Thanks so much--it is great to have this validated!! My father will so appreciate it.

Teresa- You said you had been researching the Waller family. I have a Hettie B. Waller born cir 1785 d. Aug. 21, 1868 married Marvel Knowles (Mar. 20, 1780-Aug 26, 1843) in De. Little Creek Hun. I have no parents for her just a name??? Any ideas?? Thank you for any help you can give me, Beverly Wilson

*I just found the MSA list of the Somerset County Registers of Wills: http://www.msa.md.gov/msa/speccol/sc2600/sc2685/county/html/sorow.html MSA apparently has no list online for either Wicomico or Worcester Counties. Roy C Pollitt *

*I am trying to compile a listing of the Libers (Books) created by the three Maryland county Registers of Wills that I am researching -- Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester. As a result I have a few questions. When I speak of the Libers I include all probate records (admins, bonds, distributions, estate accounts, etc. .... not just wills). I am not, however, including land records (which fall under the Clerks of the Circuit Court jurisdiction). (1) Does anyone know of an existing online list(s) of the libers of any or all of these 3 counties? (2) In Worcester County ... what does the MH in several libers stand for? I assume it is the name of the Register of Will at the time. (3) Does anyone know of a list(s) online of the historical Registers of Wills for these 3 counties? BTW --- I would also love to work on Sussex County DE, too, but since so little of the records of Sussex County are online it is not worth my time and effort now. Thanks in advance. Roy C. Pollitt *

Do you have the web addresses to access the Wills in Somerset & Worcester?
