Terry .... Please excuse my posting here...... I wouldn't want to detract from any effort on Elizabeths' long standing brick wall. When, & if your time permits I am looking (but have never found) the parents of Lydia Goslee, my maternal GG Grandmother. She was b. c1781-2 somewhere in Delmarva, possibly Ssx, DE; she married James Hopkins (who was b. c. 1782 in Ssx, DE) & c1800-1805 and they soon moved to Ohio. About 10 years later they moved to Vermillion Co. IN, where she d. c1846 leaving a large family. I've checked the Goslee's which I could find, mostly in Ssx, DE, and found no clues re her parents. If you should have anything her Goslees I'd be interested in enough info so that I could find them. Thank you. Joseph Lake Elizabeth- Tell me what you know about your relatives in the area. 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. Terry

Funny! Keep looking. Its probably there. My mom's parents were very, very distantly related.

I don't recall who Elizabeth's parents were, but she and Perry also lived in Sharptown, and I have Hearns and Coopers also (as well as Bailey and Badley/Bradley) and Mills.

So... I was only speaking to the adjacent area that is contiguous with Barren Creek & Sharptown Hundreds/Districts. 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....

Marjorie is mostly accurate in saying "The date of 1 Jan (yr.) appears as the date of marriage in records from the Marriage Records card file at DPA (filmed by LDS) when the marriage was taken, NOT from a marriage record but from a probate record sometime in that (yr.). It should be interpreted as "married by (yr.)". " The card file was data extracted as the extractor opinion of relationships shown in a variety of documents, including deeds, wills and other estate records (not just "probate record" which is the proceeding probating or 'proving' the validity of a will and/or identifying legal heirs to an estate from the outset of administration of an intestate estate or execution of a will). If memory serves, some church and other records are also abstracted in the card file. Then a subcontractor did extracts from the extracts in the card file, in most cases omitting the specific complete document dates given in the card file (in most cases retaining the year), and in every case omitting the actual source-document identification given in the card file. Then the subcontractor did a global find-and-replace for year-dates to add "January 1" to the year. The card file was intended to be a finding aid for documents regarding family relationships, but has been wrongly described in the titling of the subcontractor database now accessible at _www.genealogytrails.com/del/sussex_ (http://www.genealogytrails.com/del/sussex) . Elizabeth is absolutely right that the database was at one time on Ancestry.com, but when the problems with it were very pointedly brought to their attention they deleted it (a few years ago).

The date of 1 Jan (yr.) appears as the date of marriage in records from the Marriage Records card file at DPA (filmed by LDS) when the marriage was taken, NOT from a marriage record but from a probate record sometime in that (yr.). It should be interpreted as "married by (yr.)". I do not recall precisely exactly which started using the 1 Jan date. If it is not part of Ancestry's Delaware Marriage Records, 1744-1912, it can be found on film at FHL. It is useful for the information about the applicable probate which often helps identify the couple.

Alan, I just looked at the list and saw several Wharton listings of interest to me ... I bet that “January 1” was used as a placeholder, but it’d be nice to know for sure. The source for the list is shown as “FHL FILM NUMBER 0006416-0006422.” It’d be nice to know underlying sources, etc., and I wonder if some might be on the film, but beggars can’t be choosers.

I need a bit of help from someone in the Lewes DE area. There is a woman buried at St. Peters Episcopal Church who is "famous" for the inscription on her tombstone: Elizabeth Cullen Elizabeth, wf of Charles M. Feb 30 1860 Sep 20 1838 The above data is taken from Tatnall and Hudson's work. But I assume the "1860" should be "1760". And, yes, the tombstone does show her date as Feb 30 ! I visited this tombstone years ago, but I now need: The exact wording of what is on the tombstone and/or a clear JPG photo of the tombstone (this is preferred). I want to use this as a GREAT example that not all tombstones' inscriptions are to be trusted ! Thanks in advance. Roy C Pollitt Punta Gorda FL
