THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE REPLY, ELLEN. I AM DESCENDED THROUGH PEREGRINE AND MARGARET TURNER CHICK THROUGH THEIR SON JOSEPH W. CHICK. IT SEEMS STRANGE BUT THERE ARE MARRIAGE DATES OF 1780 AS WELL AS WELL AS 1790. THE 1780 MARRIAGE RECORD IS RECORDED IN NEWCASTLE, DEL AND THE FOUR OLDEST KIDS ARE BORN BEFORE 1790. JOSEPH HAD A SISTER NAMED ELIZA CHICK AND HE NAMED HIS DAUGHTER ELIZA. ARETHE BOOKS YOU HAVE ON LINE? I REALLY APPRECIATE THE INFO. I' CAN'T SEE VERY WELL BUT I HOPE TO TRAVEL TO BACK CREEK IN THE NEXT YEAR. THANKS AND GOD BLESS, NORAH COLLINS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ellen C.
