Thank you Shirley. I still think the surname is garbled... maybe the original church record had been damaged or hard to read. Is FHL number 0006418 a set of films of the original pages --or is this a film of another transcription, does anyone know? I checked Craig's "1671 Census of the Delaware" --nothing even close. Could someone maybe check the index in his 1693 book?
