Hello All,
I am in need of guidance. I am trying to trace the roots of William
Jennings Bryan Marvel, b Feb. 1897 in Stockley, DE. (I think these are ancestors
but have not been able to document) son of John P. Marvel Jr (John P. Marvel
and Eunice Rogers) and Martha Emma Adkins (Elijah Adkins and Isabell Collins
[Ephram Collins and Nancy ?]).

William JB Marvel's siblings: Nehemiah, Fundy, Norman, Frank.

Father, John P. Marvel was a farmer and Justice of the Peace.

I have not been able to find any documentation other that a 1900 census
showing the family in Dagsboro Hundred.

Searches of Marvel, Adkins, Collins, Rogers have all been dead ends.

Can anyone suggest where I should look next? I know the family was in
the area for quite a long time and I'm baffled. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Sue Rowdon
