Juliann and Lydia McCullough were named as nieces in the will of Hannah Ginna, probated in Cecil Co in 1838. Can anyone identify them? Others named in the will are Eliza Kirk d/o Howell Kirk, Adaline Nickle, d/o William, Ruth Ann Jenkins. Can anyone help? I am trying to establish Hannah Ginna's family. She names Hannah, d/o of Jesse Ginna, who married John Ramsey and moved to Illinois. Therefore, I know that she is of "my" family. She also names Caroline Weir who was the d/o Matthew Weir and his wife Susan (Ginna) d/o John Ginna and Hannah (Reynolds). While looking for help, I am also willing to share what I have on the Ginna, Weir, Reynolds families. Cathy

The reigning expert on the early Delaware Swedes told me when I found a reference to Axel Still (no final 'e') living in MD that Axel had lived in MD but that he had returned to DE before his death and had no marriage or children. Since my grandmother and great-grandfather both always told us that we were descended from the Swedish Stille/Still family who had been among Delaware's first Swedish settlers, I had been searching for the connection between my g-g-grandfather and the Swedish Stilles. I wrote to him to ask him whether he thought that Axel Still of Maryland might be the possible progenitor of my Still family. He wrote: "Olof Stille and his brother Axel Stille arrived in New Sweden in 1641. Only Olof Stille had descendants, as Axel never married. The first several generations of Stille descendants are set forth in my pamphlet, "The Stille Family in America, 1641-1772," which I sell for $20 (postage and handling included). The surname of Stille has two syllables: "Still-E." The spelling generally evolved into Stilley. I am not familiar with any case where it was shortened to Still. In my opinion, your Still ancestors were not related. Dr. Peter S. Craig, F.A.S.G. 3406 Macomb St. N.W. Washington DC 20016" He certainly is correct about the original pronunciation of Still and, of course, it is possible that our Still clan is not from the Swedes. However, the Stills in lower Delaware did sometimes spell their name Stille and sometimes Still, but as far as I know always pronounced it with a single syllable. (There are gravestones in the Milford I.O.O.F. cemetery showing members of the same family sometimes spelling their names Stille.) There are also known members of that same family who now live in New Castle County (having had one of the family members move there in the 1920s) who spell their name Stille when all of the census lists and at least one church record spelled their family name Still. I have been told that some of the family members pronounced their name with one syllable and some pronounced it with two syllables as per Dr. Craig's observation. So, until I can match my Still with someone from somewhere, I do not faithfully accept Dr. Craig's assessment that my grandparents and great-grandparents either lied to us or had been lied to and had passed the information on. (I haven't yet seen a copy of his pamphlet, but I am sure it is in the Delaware Archives and perhaps in the Wilmington Historical Society collections.) Of course, we should note that the heirs of Axel Still's property (spelled with or without the final 'e'!) did not have to be his children. Someone would still have inherited his property. Has anyone seen the documents referred to in the reference to "Still, Exell [Heirs]" listed in the "Cecil Co., Debt Books, 1734-1766: Names, Tracts, Years" on page 117? Does anyone know what happened in 1734 and 1760 that precipated his being listed in the debt books? (What exactly IS a debt book?) I'd surely like to hear from anyone who is familiar with the origination of the events that got him listed in the MD references sent to us by Shirley! Karen Carter g-dau of Jennie Minerva Still (b. 1903) g-granddau of George Joseph Still (b. 1873) g-g-granddau of William H. Still (b. btw 1837 and 1841 - tombstone says 1841 but other records conflict) g.g.g.granddau of ????

Could your Steel families have ever been Still families? I have Still ancestors that were purportedly born in MD, but I can't find them!! Given names in my Still family are Alexander, James, William, Harry, David, Alonzo. The first four names occur frequently in the generations I've been able to identify. They are in DE when I find them. Karen Minneapolis, MN

I know this is a longshot since there do not seem to be many PA/MD/DE Carter researchers out there. . . but maybe there is some lone Carter researcher we've missed so far --- and maybe some Cloud, Parker, Barcus, and Dunning researchers who will recognize members of our family as being members of their families. While we have collected some information on our direct lines, we have limited information on the collateral lines. We are looking for family members of both our direct line and the lines of the sisters and brothers of our direct ancestors. Anyone out there? Generation 1 JOSEPH CARTER (b. Nov. 17, 1749, PA; d.

Hello, I have not done a lot of research on the Steele branch of my family. The farthest back I have been able to get is a James E Steele born February 1855 in Cecil Co. He married Hannah Emily Jamison Sept. 10, 1874. I have done a little looking for the parents of James, with no luck, but I have certainly not done anything extensive. If you know of this branch, please let me know.

I'll start with "Early Anglican Church Records of Cecil County" by Henry C. Peden, Jr. pg.15 Darnel McCullah dau of William and Kathrin b. 1 Oct 1711 pg. 19 -----& Thomas McCullah twin sons of Wm. & --------b. 25 Mar 1714 pg. 77 Jesse McCullogh son of George and Sina b. 7 Dec 1767 Levi McCullogh son of same b. 5 Nov 1770 Rebecca McCullogh dau of same b. 14 Jun 1779 pg. 82 William McCullough and Susannah Connolly were cited in Dec, 1774 and he appeared in Jan, 1775 before the Vestry to inform them that the charge was based on information which proceeded from malice and ill will of some of his neighbors and he assured the Vestry that "the girl with whom he was supposed unlawfully to cohabit is not in the province nor has not been at his house since harvest." "Inhabitants of Cecil County, Maryland 1649-1774" by Henry C. Peden *This is a book of lists and doesn't go into detail MCCULLOCH- pg. 128 Taxable persons in Cecil Co. in 1752 Archibald and John....also one name with page torn starts McC....... pg. 74 List of Insolvents in St. Mary Ann's Parish in 1764 Returned to the Worshipfull Justices in 1765 by Richard Thomas, Sheriff of Cecil County. James McCulloch - in Baltimore pg. 107 Cecil County Debt Books (name, tract, year) McCulloch, John- Addition, Providence- 1749, 1754 MCCULLOH-( others found with different spellings_ pg. 63 Overseer of the Roads appointed in 1760 John and Archibald McCullough for North Susquehannah and Octorara Overseer of the Roads apppointed in 1762 Samuel McCullough Overseers of Roads Appointed in 1765 Samuel McCulloh Overseer of the Road to Charles Town in 1766 James and Archibald Macullagh Samuel McCullough for North Susquehannah MCCULLOUGH- PG. 61 List of Amerciaments (Persons owing Court Costs in 1773) Archibald and William McCullough pg. 69 Constable Nathan Baker's List of Persons Paid for Squirrel Scalps Destroyed in 1761 James, Samuel and Archabald McCullugh This is all I have in these two books...I do have the Chester Co, PA Will Books if you haven't used those sources, McCullough's mentioned in the one I checked. When the Mason Dixon Line was surveyed many people found themselves living in PA instead of MD or vice versa...as mine did. Also, there is mention briefly of two McCulloughs in "Nottingham Quakers". I just returned from MN(30 mi N. of Minneapolis) on Thursday...had great weather while there except for the last day of cold rain. Let me know if you would like these others looked up.
