If you mean was there in Delaware a sort of "Ellis Island", the answer
is no. Immigrants to Delaware landed at the port towns of New Castle or
Wilmington. (And Lewes in southern Delaware. A couple of things to
remember: Baltimore, MD was another significant port for immigration,
some immigrants then moving up to Wilmington; Delaware was part of PA
until the Revolution. Although records pertaining to what became the
State of Delaware are held in the Delaware Archives and Historical
Society, some a
It's Cooch. The battle of Cooch's bridge is the site of the only
Revolutionary War battle in Delaware. Coochs Bridge is located on the
Christina River in Newark, Delaware. Thomas Cooch came from England in
1746 and built the historic Cooch's House in 1760. He was a Colonel in
the Revolutionary war and his son a Major General in the Delaware
militia. The family owned the property until:

One of the list members posted a marriage record from New Castle County books recently, itemizing the information contained in the record. Kathryn Epp married Charles Grebs on 15 April 1911. According to the record, they were both from Philly! (Hmmm....) The officiating person was Frederic Doerr.
We would like to learn more about this couple. Is there an index of weddings completed in the County in that year? Does anyone recognize the official? Are there city directories for

Hello,
Thanks for your reply and query about Bouldens. Sorry for the delay in
responding.
My husband's ancestor, William Louis Boulden was born about 1792 in
Delaware. He married Nancy or Anne Patterson in New Castle DE in 1812. He
had a sister Rachel. By 1820 William L and his family had removed to Miami
County OHIO.
We have been trying to find who his parents are but with no luck as yet.
There is a big Boulden contingent in the MD and DE areas but we cannot
connect our WL with any family so f
I also descend from Peter and Catherina and am interested in your reference
to Catherine being the granddaughter of Peter the Finn. I know that Samuel
Peterson was born at Fryksande Parish, Varmland, Finland, but I didn't have
any information that he was the s/o Peter the Finn. Could you share?

Does anyone have a copy of the book "Delaware marriages and deaths from

If he's with an older woman plus a younger couple I'd start with the
supposition that she is his grandmother and the woman of the couple is an
aunt. So I'd search the 1850 census for both the Whites and the Thompsons.
I'd check the Cecil Co marriage records for a Thompson/White marriage. I'd
check obituaries in Wilmington for Thompson between 1853 and 1860. I'd
check orphans court records. That's how I'd start!

Are these records available on line somewhere?

Since you know what year he was born in (or at least 1852 or 1853,
depending on what time of year the census was taken), your best bet is
to contact the DE archives or Historical Society:

They may have a birth/marriage record.

Hi Karen,
In his book, The Forest of the Appoquinimink, Clifford Pryor, whose
ancestors were
among the earliest settlers of the southwestern corner of New Castle
County, notes
that the early Maryland explorers called this area "The Wilderness of
Kent," while
Penn's surveyors called it the "Forest of Appoquinimink Hundred." His
description
indicates that "From the village of Blackbird this land extends about

in the southwest corner of New Castle County (The Appoquinimink

I can spell Appoquinimink without looking!) In any case, some of
the land at the very edge of the forest was owned by Dennis Dulaney
and his descendants. I will post more about the families I have encountered
later today or on Monday. But can anyone on the list explain why the
