Paul Waples' Piney Point may have been at Indian River, north east of Dagsboro at the end of Piney Neck Rd. DE Hwy Map, rev 2004 shows "Assawoman Willife Area Piney Point Tract". I think this neck of land was/is known as Piney Neck. The Peter, Paul and Mary you mention are children of Wiliam Waples, are they not? According to Runk, William inherited land on both sides of Indian River.
