Lloyd, Thank you Lloyd--this is great!! You have confirmed what I had figured out by looking at the census'--yea!!! The genealogist who did some Waller research for us in the early 1990's had totally misspelled the LeCates name, and as I researched it years later, I figured the name was LeCates. The way I piece it together is that Rosa's mother was Mary A. Nichols m. Minos Gordy, had Rosa b. 11/12/1869 & a younger sister. Minos passed, Mary remarried to John W. Lecates and they had a son, then Mary died. The story handed down in our family was that Rosa was an orphan; I wonder whether she stayed with the LeCates family til her marriage to George Alfred Waller? Should I look for any Orphan's Court records? I thought Mary was buried in the Nichols cemetary as were Rosa and the first 2 children of George Alfred Waller & Rosa E., but the Mary A.E. Nichols on the cemetary list done by by Mike Hitch does not match her dates. I think I can find the Census records, but if you have that or other records documenting this situation, I would love to have a copy (eg. Mary m. John Lecates). Thanks so much--it is great to have this validated!! My father will so appreciate it.

Ane- Do you have a sense of where these Wallers & LeCates lived? Both families, Wallers in particular, were involved with the Ellis family west of Delmar in Little Creek Hundred, as well as a little south towards Salisbury. I also am interested in anythng you know about Mary Nichols. My gr gr grandmother was a Theresa (Trecia?) Nichols, but I know nothing more and there are not a lot of the Nichols family around the area.
