I did find a Sally Butler on the 1930 Census living in Wilmington, Del., age 26. I don't know if this was Wayne's momma, but I thought I'd give you the info so you could look into it.

Hope this is helpful to the Fenwick & allied family researchers. More on Elizabeth Adams, from Genealogies of New Jersey Families. Fenwick, Adams, Hedge and Champneys, by Lewis D. Cook p. 215 - Children of John and Elizabeth (Fenwick) Adams. Elizabeth Adams, b. 1664 in England, married in Salem, NJ, 23 Aug. 1683, Arket alias Anthony Windsor, by civil ceremony, with her uncle Samuel Hedge and her mother Elizabeth Adams among the witnesses. (Amer. Genealogist, 30:179). On 12 June 1694 Anthony Windsor of Mannington Twp., Salem Co., planter, and wife Elizabeth, conveyed to Henry Sloobey, of said Co., husbandman, 200 acres on southwest side of an along Fenwick's River, bought by Elizabeth Adams, now wife of Anthony Windor, of Jervis Bywater and Joan Grigson alias Bywater, 10 May 1680. (N.J. Arch., 21:607.) No record of Anthony Windsor's estate found. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Hope this is of some help to the Gould/Fenwick researchers. Taken from "History of Gloucester, Salem and Cumberland Counties," by Thos. Cushing, M.D. and Charles E. Sheppard, Esq., pub. (Philadelphia:Everts & Peck, 1883) Under the Cumberland County section, City of Bridgeton, is the following: p. 613a, Gouldtown, partly in the territorial limits of Bridgeton and partly in Fairfield, is a settlement of colored people, many of them nearly white, about three miles east of the built-up part of Bridgeton. The families there mostly bear the name of Pierce and Gould. Some of them are active, industrious farmers, and have accumulated considerable property. A tradition believed by many is that they are descended from Elizabeth Adams, the granddaughter of Fenwick, who provides in his will that she should have no part of his estate unless she forsook "that Black that hath been the ruin of her, and becoming penitent for her sins." In that case he directed his executors to settle five hundred acres of land upon her. The tradition among the inhabitants of Gouldtown further is that she was married to that black man, and that at his death she received her five hundred acres of land, which was taken up at Gouldtown, and that Benjamin Gould, the earliest known ancestor of the present families, was her son. However pleasing this tradition may be, the truth of history compels the statement that there is no foundation for it. Fenwick made his will and died in 1683, and there is no trace of Benjamin Gould or of any other colored man at Gouldtown for nearly three-quarters of a century afterwards. He bought a tract of two hundred and forty-nine acres previous to 1774, but how long before is not known. It was owned by John Robertson in 1755, and Gould bought it after that date. Ancient maps, covering the whole of that region, are in possession of the writer, from which the above facts are taken, and in 1774 no other colored man except Benjamin Gould owned any of the land. While it might still be possible that he was the son of Elizabeth Adams, there is no probability. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
