I am researching DR. ALEXANDER GANDOUET (other spellings of name include: GANDOWELL, GANDOWETT, GANDOUETT, GANDOUIT) He was a physican living in Chester county according to one book item found for him. I have found a listing that most likely is for him in Delaware. How close would New Castle County, Delaware be to Chester? Why would Pennsylvania records be listed in Delaware? ======================================== Delaware Genealogical Society Journal Index: Volumes 1-10 New Castle County: Will Book Patrick Dowds- Jul 12, 1760 Administration to Alexander Gandowett/Gandowell- Will Book- G 160 - 1 p. =========================================== Other items found on ALEXANDER GANDOUET: IGI Individual Record FamilySearch™ International Genealogical Index v5.0 British Isles ALEXANDRE GANDOUET Male Birth: 06 JAN 1700 Christening: 25 JAN 1700 French Episcopal, Bristol, Gloucester, England Father: FRANCOIS GANDOUET Mother: MARIE PROU Messages: Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record. ========================================================================== Votes and Proceedings of the House of Representatives of the Province of Pennsylvania: Dec.4,... - Page 1740 by Gertrude MacKinney, Charles Francis Hoban - 1935 ... for dieting French Prisionera, 270 Paid Richard Farmer, per Order, 2 10 0 Paid Benjamin Franklin, per Order 77 1 1 Paid Alexander Gandouit. per Order, ... ================================================================= _http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/chester/bios/gandouett-f.txt_ (http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/chester/bios/gandouett-f.txt) >From THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY, by Futhey and Cope (1881); pg. 560 GANDOUETT, Francis, "Doctor in Physick," of Bristol, England, came to Philadelphia before 1712. his children were: Solomon, Alexander, Jeremiah, Francis, Mary, and Henrietta. His son Alexander, also a physician, lived in Chester in 1736, and in that year petitioned for a license to sell "Cordiall waters" of his own distillation by small measure, as well as to use it in his practice. There is evidence that his practice extended many miles from Chester. ============================================================= _http://www.footnote.com/document/203081_ (http://www.footnote.com/document/203081) The Petition of Alexander Gandouit, Practitioner in Physic, was again read.
