from a lookup in the Kennett MM records: Elliot is easy as there is only one.... Ester was disowned 4-13-1780' Dixon is another matter. The spellings Dixon and Dickson seem to be pretty much used interchangeably, but there are probably 7 or 8 pages for this surname. Remember, a given name and some sort of date, even if approximate, must be included in any query, along with a surname and any geographical area you know of...every little bit is necessary, especially with a common area name such as this one is. Sandra (I was just browsing through the Kennett meeting records and came across Benjamin Chandlee, who married Mary Folwell at Wilmington on the Delaware MH. Benj. was a quite well known clockmaker in the area, and one whose clocks today demand high prices. Years ago I bought, at an antique show......don't remember where....what was sold me as part of a pendulum..... but is actually called a bullseye that was placed in a tall clock's face, above the numerals. My ARTS AND CRAFTS OF CHESTER CO, by Schiffer, has a photograph of one of his clocks, showing the bullseye. This one inscribed "B. Chandlee, Nottingham"....Benj. worked in Nottingham twp from 1718 to 1740. The last tall case clock of his I saw went for $40,000....wonder what my bullseye would go for to someone repairing a Chandlee? Amazing, though, to pick up something years ago, only to find it originated near where my own folks lived. Another antique show purchase, years ago, was a deed for transfer of land in the Manor of Moreland, near Philadelphia. It is dated 1783, and written on velum. I bought it just because it was interesting, never dreaming it would ever hold any sort of personal interest. This land was part of an original grant from Wm Penn, in 1683, granted to Dr Nicholas Moore. As my family arrived the same time, they may well have known eachother!) If anyone is interested in a lookup in ARTS AND CRAFTS OF CHESTER CO, PA, by Schiffer....it covers, to some degree, ceramics, furniture, gunsmithing, metals workers, stone and 'sundries"! Include name and art/craft. S.
