There is a baptism record of Old Swedes Church, Christeen (Wilmington), which I would like some help with. I hope, since the parent is said to be located in Chester County, that someone here would know. 1713: John FARR's of Chester County, child Catharina, born Feb. 14, baptized Sept. 13. Sponsors: Hans PETERSSON, Capt. Johan VON CULEN, Rebecca REDLY, Elizabeth CADIE. The record was kindly posted some years back to the Old-Swede's list. Hope this is accurate. Here's what I need: Can anyone identify the sponsor, "Elizabeth CADIE"?? If anyone can say who was Rebecca REDLY, (or for-maybe-sure which Hans Peterson this one was) I would appreciate that too, but I especially need to know who Elizabeth Cadie is. I don't necessarily need a whole lot of explanation, but just enough to identify her would please me greatly. Thanks Very Much, Liz J
There is no mention of the surnames Cadie or Redly, or other likely spellings, in Futhey and Cope, nor are there any area wills that contain them. The Von Culen is probably a variation of the name Van Culin, the area family who came, originally, from Finland... John, the first emigrant, died in 1683. Hans Petersson is also an area Swedish/Finnish name so I looked among Swedish info to see if I could find the two women, but no luck.....(Catharina is not an English form of the name, either.....it's much more likely to be Germanic/Swedish, etc...so, I wonder if the mother is not of English lineage, also...I know we can't accept as fact the spellings found in records, but it's food for though) S.
