This is the information I have on Hans. 1693 CENSUS OF SWEDES ON THE DELAWARE, pg 129 (Brandywine hundred) was born in 1662, the fourth son of Johan & Brita Gustafsson of Kingsessing. By 1787 he had moved to Brandywine hundred, where in 1690 he was granted 300 acres with Israel Helm, Jr. On 25 March 1697, Hans Justice witnessed the will of Oliver Cope who lived on Naaman's Creek in Brandywine hundred. Two years later he and his wife Maria were assigned pews in Holy Trinity Church. In 1701 he was a resident of Marcus Hook, Chester County, but he soon moved to the head of the Northeast River in Cecil County, Maryland. He was living at that location on 16 Nov 1710 - when he was visited by pastors Bjork & Sandel on the occasion of his daughter Lydia's marriage to Rev. Jonas Auren. He died shortly thereafter; his son John Justis and Andrew Friend were administrator's of Lydia Auren's Cecil County estate in 1715. Hans and his wife Maria were also parents of William, Peter and Mans Gustafsson or Justis. Swedish Colonial News: Hans & Maria initially lived near Naaman's Creek, but they moved soon after 1700 to Cecil County, MD and resided at Northeast, Maryland, where Hans died c. 1712. I have the following children listed: Lydia Justus b. 1682 John b. 1685 William before 1690 Peter b. 1702 Mounce b. 1704 My line follows Mounce I do have information on Maria's father Olle Rawson if anyone is interested. Thanks for all the responses. Janet Justice Papke
