Nanette: Any other mention of John GRACE other than the sale of land by his Executor? I think this may be my elusive ancestor! My Samuel GRACE moved from Sussex County to Frederica in Kent County prior to 1828. Samuel was b. 1796 At least this gives me something else to check out. I'm so excited!

I have been gathering information on the tract Round Pond and Round Pond Enlarged and every detail helps me pinpoint these locations. John HOUSTON sold p/o Round Pond in 1805 (Sussex Deed AB f16) to Joseph VINSON of Solomon. John HOUSTON sold p/o Round Pond Enlarged to Meschack ELLIOTT in 1810 (Sussex Deed AF 29, f187). Jonathan MARTINO, EX of John GRACE sold p/o Round Pond Enlarged to Joseph VINSON of Solomon in 1815 (Sussex Deed AI 32 f86) and the land is described as being on the west side of Mire(sic) Branch. These Grantees are neighbors of the MARVELS in Broad Creek Hundred and are mentioned in many of the deeds. Meschack ELLIOTT comes up quite often. I'll keep digging and let you know if I get a better fix on the so-called SKINNER Farm and it's location on the Laurel-Concord Road.
