Numerous towns or villages are mentioned; Blackfort (30 miles from Sinepuxent), Doves Town (54 mi from Blackfort), Duck Crack (12 mi further), etc., along with Inns (Montgomery, St Patrick) and various persons, Thomas Anderson, Major Bell. These places would seem to be in Delaware. What is their modern equivalent? _http://books.google.com/books?id=-VZKAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=krafft +journal&hl=en&ei=fmWCTMjkF8OBlAeuq9XYDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnu m=2&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q&f=false_ (http://books.google.com/books?id=-VZKAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=krafft +journal&hl=en&ei=fmWCTMjkF8OBlAeuq 9XYDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q&f=f alse) *************************************** QUESTIONS about POSTING GUIDELINES, SUBSCRIBING or UNSUBSCRIBING?
