Helen Staats Harris Tue Oct 15 20:05:38 1996 I am searching for Abraham Staats (1750-1826) who reportedly married a Anna King (1755-1810) in Del. He may have had a brother Joseph who was born in 1740 and went to Ohio. Abraham was in WV in the 1780's and about 1797 he went to Dutch Station near Staunton, Ohio. He left there because the land was too swampy. He moved to Evans WV about 1799, but did not purchase his land until about 1806. After his wife died in 1810. he married Sarah Tilghman. He had children over 40 years. and died in 1826 reportedly from an infect of a bear bit which he received much earlier. Signing on his will was a Francis King who may have been a relative of his first wife. Family names include Abraham, Isaac, Cornelius, Jacob, Elijah, John, Catherine, Ann, Susana, Hannah. I would appreciate any information on either Abraham Staats or his wife Anna King. People have been searching for about 75 years for this family. There are many in the Staats family with this name. In the family of his possible brother there is the story that they were two young brothers who ran away from home on the Hudson River. An interview with his grandson says that the family came from Delaware. I would appreciate any information anyone has!

Robert Cooper Moor Wed Oct 30 12:38:45 1996 MOOR, Henry. Looking for parents and and siblings and wife's surname. Son Robert MOOR married Lydia SNOW a Mayflower descendant. 'Old' Duck Creek Hundred is found on record in 1685, and is given as embracing the land lying between Duck Creek and its southwest branch, called Little Duck Creek, and extending westward to the Maryland line; but the region was not finally settled until many years later. This division left Bombay Hook Island in New Castle County. Old Duck Creek is a very crooked stream, and made a sharp turn about a mile from the Delaware Bay, and then ran thirteen miles to where it joined the Dona River and entered the Bay. Some time previous to 1740 the route to the bay from the landing was shortened by cutting a thoroughfare at the turn, and Hon. Jacob Stout, in 1820, cut the Leipsic, or Little Duck Creek through. In 1841 this thoroughfare was made a part of the northern boundary of Kent County, thus placing Bombay Hook Island in Duck Creek Hundred. History of Delaware by: Scharf P. 1091 Wherefore; the will of Henry MOOR, witnessed by Heneritta MOOR, Jacob ALLEE and Thomas CAHOON in 1751, was made in New Castle County and probated in Kent County, Delaware. In the settlement of the inventory of Henry Moor's estate in 1751 there is a payment of 17 shillings and one pence to John Snow who was the father of Lydia Snow who would marry his son Robert Moor twenty two years later on November 23, 1773. Jacob ALLEE who witnessed the will of Henry Moor, also witnessed the will of Henry's son Robert Moor. Henry Moor's will leaves two plantations, [ one in New Castle County and one in Kent County to his sons Henry II and Robert MOOR. This would indicate that both were about eighteen years of age in 1751 when Henry made his will. In 1756 after Isaac SAPP married Elizabeth MOOR, the WIDOW of Henry Moor, and made petition to Kent County Orphans Court the ledger reveals that Abraham Moor paid six pounds sterling, and Mary Moor paid two pounds sterling to Henry Moor's estate. Of course, this Abraham Moor is not the same Abraham Moor that married the two Hopkins sisters [Susanna and Nancy] fifty years later. There are individuals listed on this document that married into the KILLEN family which was the family of the mother of the Hopkins sisters! John DRAUGHTON who was the executor of Henry Moor's will had a daughter named Margaret. Margaret DRAUGHTON [Drayton] was married to James Snow and they would had a daughter named Rebecca Snow. Rebecca Snow would marry Henry's brother' John's son John Moor, Jr., after Rebecca's first husband Abel REES died. Abel REES was the sister of Jeremiah Rees who was paid twelve shillings seven and one half pence by Henry Moor's widow when Isaac SAPP, Elizabeth Moor's new husband made their petition to Orphans Court. It is interesting to note that Henry Moor named three sons Henry, Robert and John and four unnamed daughters, and had two plantations, one in Kent County and one in New Castle County, because of the location of Duck Creek and Bombay Hook. Bombay Hook is one of Delaware's early landmarks. Today [1996] the Moor burial ground is maintained in the middle of a cornfield, on the grounds of the MOOR family Colonial Plantation near the Bombay Hook Wild Life refuge.

Ide, born July 17, 1822 who died January 2, 1890, but does not indicate if this is a younger brother or cousin or nephew?? Lydia Margaret Rockwell's parents were Abel Rockwell, and Lucretia Spencer of Connecticut, most probably Litchfield. I find a pre- colonial census type listings of Abel and Lucretia Spencer Rockwell in Murderkill Hundred , Delaware. John Ide and a Nathan were in Lucerne, Pa. As were my Harding family during Revolutionary War times. Then the children's birthplace list of Lydia and John Ide, show they went to Peru, LaSalle Co. and Tonica, LaSalle County, Illinois and then one listing for Tecumsa, Johnson county, but I do not know what state. They were in Missouri where my great great grandfather John Ide died and is buried and then Lydia went to live with her youngest daughter Elize Mary Harding, in Hendley, Furnas County, Nebraska. On March 23, 1900 the Ide's; Lydia Margaret born September 1831 her daughter Ella Betsey Ide Buckley and her husband John Creth Buckley, both were deaf, he was mute also at birth and three of their children and John's brother Samuel joined her son-in-law and daughter William Harvey and Elize Mary Ide Harding, seven of their children, the youngest Milo Lundy born January 7, 1900 in Beaver City and Will's parents Stuckley Winslow and Elizabeth Ellen Williams, Crow, Harding with a wagon train of some 40 families, who came out of Beaver City, the county seat of Furnas, Nebraska , that Spring morning toward Colorado and jobs on the Dam or Railroad in Montrose/Olathe, Colorado. Lydia and Ellen were both 71 years of age. The work was gone when they arrived and they went by May 26, 1902 to the North Fork Valley of the Colorado River, to a place called Juanita, now know as Bowie in Delta County. Lydia died of "Antic Insufficiency," in Bowie August 18, 1905. Milo died October 23, 1902 of Typhoid fever there in Bowie. Three more children were born to Will and Liza Harding. Liza was a diabetic and died November 15, 1933, in Paonia, Delta County. The family had homesteaded on Minnesota Creek, the counties of Gunnison and Delta adjoin in the middle at the old home place, where Dallas Harding and his family live still. My grandmother, Estella Ella Harding Emmons (eldest daughter and first born of Will and Liza) said there were four (4) John Ide's and a Nathan behind her grandfather and the family came from England. There are two family members age 90 and 93, and five in their 80's. My oldest Uncle is 88 and remembers visiting the Ide's in Nebraska. He said "Johnny" Ide disappeared. Johnny was John M. Ide born June 19, 1862 in Tonica, LaSalle County, Illinois. When his eldest brother Nathan two sons and their families were killed, it was said the Ide's were now gone and no more remained. But no one knows what happened to Johnny (John M.) or the other female siblings and their families. None of this was ever written down too much, just passed from one long lived generation to the next. I am interested in any information on the Ides, Rockwell's and Spencers. I lived in London for five years and have visited Idesleigh, near Beaufort in Devon. I do have some Ide pictures 1850-1860, not many but some.

I do not know for sure who the father of David H. Robinson was, but I have
some reason to believe that the family was in the same general area for a
long time. I have done some checking for Robinson families in that area having
sons named David at the right age. I have found two such cases. I suspect
that the first one listed below is the one, but I have not proven it. In
the 1850 U.S. census, John Robinson was listed as a head of household in
Cecil County, Maryland. John age 30 male born in Maryland Louisa age 24 female
born in Maryland William age 8 male born in Maryland James age 7 male born
in Maryland John age 5 male born in Maryland David age 2 male born in Maryland
In the 1860 U.S. census, Henry Robinson was listed as a head of household
in Sussex County, Delaware. Henry age 37 male born in Delaware Sarah age
36 female born in Delaware John L. age 14 male born in Delaware David H.
age 12 male born in Delaware James H. age 8 male born in Delaware Felix B.?
age 7 male born in Delaware Cornelius M.? age 6 male born in Delaware Mary
E. age 5 female born in Delaware Sarah A. age 4 female born in Delaware Lydia
C.? age 2 female born in Delaware A--ada? age 64 female born in ? boarder
I have photos of David H. Robinson and many of the Robinsons who are listed
in the census data above. I have many stories. These Robinsons believed that
they were descended from the British General Robinson who fought in the
Revolutionary War and then settled here after the war. I have verified that
there was, in fact, a General Robinson fighting on the British side during
the Revolutionary War. He did not figure prominently into the action, and
is only mentioned in the more detailed accounts of the war. He was in Boston
during the earliest days of the revolution and he retreated by sea during
a patriot uprising. My Robinson forefathers also believed that they were
descended from a Robinson who built a historical house which is still standing.
My grandfather, William Neeld, grandson of Ezra Robinson, found and visited
this house. It is on Philadelphia Pike in Delaware, near the Pennsylvania
border. It is owned by a park service. It can be visited by appointment.
This house was visited by George Washington and by other famous colonial
patriots. It was built in 1723 by a Thomas Robinson. This seems to contradict
the possibility of my Robinsons being descended from General Robinson who
presumably settled here after the war. There are, of course, possible scenarios
which would account for the apparent contradiction. If you know anything
about my Robinsons, General Robinson, or the historical Robinson house, please
contact me. I have been reading things put into cyberspace by Robinson
researchers, and I have not yet seen anything about the general or the house.
This seems a little odd. I did expect that these two things would be milestones
which many Robinsons would be connecting themselves to and writing about.
My family will be interested in hearing the details about the general and
the house, even if it turns out that they are not really connected to us.

Tue Jan 28 06:47:55 1997 I am researching the families that settled the Pilotown
section of Concord, and the town of Seaford. DREDDEN: The progenitor as far
as we can tell is Moses DREDDIN, who first appears in 1810. It seems that
Moses may have had at least two sons, Stephen whom we can follow into the
20th Century, and William who disappears after 1830. As the family story
goes, William may have died and Stephen raised not only his own, but his
brother's children as well. We have yet to determine exactly which of the
children belonged to which father. MATTHEWS: James MATTHEWS born 1824 had
at least two brothers, Talbert and John. Various members of the family may
have used other surnames. John may have used GREEN and James' son Charles
who was born a slave to an owner by the name of Bayard MOORE was christened
Charles KINNEY as an infant. He used KINNEY while serving in the Civil War,
upon hi discharge, he settled in Dover and eventually relocated to Mercer
County, NJ, where he returned to using KINNEY. VINCENT: Charles (MATTHEWS)
Kinney married Nancy Jane VINCENT of Dover, Kent Co. in December of 1866
in Laurel, Sussex Co. This is the first appearance of Nancy Jane. CONNOR:
John CONNOR appears to be the father of Jane and Clarisa CONNOR. Clarisa
CONNOR is the mother of Charles (MATTHEWS) KINNEY, and appears on the 1860
Schedules as a fugitive from the stte. LAWS: Mary Ann (Unknown)born 1828.
She married Alexander Laws in 1851 and had one daughter Lina LAWS born 1854.
Mary Ann LAWS was an extremely successful midwife, serving both black and
white residents of DE, MD, NJ and PA. I am also researching collateral branches

He was a revolutionary soldier with service from Delaware and Maryland. Does any have any information about him, his spouses or children. I am trying to find John Doyle's mother's name. William H. Layton was refered to as step-father of John Doyle in John's 1811 marriage to Martha J. "Patsey" Cord. The marriage between William H. Layton and John's mother would have occurred between 1791 and 1811 as John was born abt 1791, I think that date can probably be narrowed down even further as there were other Doyle's with birthdates between 1795 and 1800 living nearby. William H. Layton was probably married to John's mother between 1800 and 1811. Any help that you can give will be greatly appreciated. I have lots of information on John's descendants would like to find his ancestors. Willing to exchange information.

Update to the above info: Margaret (SWAGGERTY) GENTRY married Elija SECREST
age 24, (son of Jacob) 11-3-1885 in Sullivan Co., IN. Also Margaret SECREST
married William GODWIN 4-16-1889 in Sullivan Co., IN. Any and all info on
these people and the below will be greatly appreciated
I am trying to find information on my Great Grandparents. Margurite aka Margaret
SWAGGERTY and William F. (may not be correct initial) GODWIN. What I do have
came from a 1900 Census in Greene Co., IN, Wright Twp.
William was born 12-1833 in DE. He may have been married twice before he
married Margurite. And he may have had children, in fact I'm sure he must
have as he was 66 and she was 37 in 1900! A 1900 IN Census lists his middle
initial as F. I don't know for a fact that is or isn't correct.
Margurite aka Margaret (the Census shows Margaret) was born 5-1863 in IN.
I think her maiden name was SWAGGERTY. She married a Mr. GENTRY and they
had Emma F b. 3-1882 and John b. 3-1884 both in IN.
Then Margurite aka Margaret married Elija SECREST 11-3-1885 in Sullivan Co.,
IN and they had Franklin A. b. 7-1886 in IN.
Then she married my Great Grandfather William F. GODWIN 4-16-1889 in Sullivan
Co., IN and they had: Carrie E. GODWIN b. 3-1890 in Jasonville, IN. Carrie
had long red hair at the age of 21 and was a stage actress, she was married
and she died in a house fire that burned her home with her in it. Maud S.
GODWIN b. 2-1892 in Jasonville, IN. she died at abt age 22 of Diphtheria,
in IN. William Thompson GODWIN b. 9-1895 in Jasonville, IN he is my Grandfather,
he later married Ahletha ATTEBERRY aka Lela Atterberry in 1915, and moved
to Caddo, OK. and Marietta GODWIN b. 3-1897 in Jasonville and in 1915 she
married Richard Bledsoe. Margurite aka Margaret ran a Boarding House in
Jasonville, IN and she died in 1915.
After her death William F. married Widow CUNNINGHAM who had children by a
previous marriage. It is said that William F. owned houses and property in
Jasonville, IN. Also an Uncle of mine, my fathers brother says all the ones
that died are buried in Jasonville. I do not know that for a fact. ANY and
ALL information would be appreciated. I am looking for information on all
the families of William & Margurite aka Margaret. The Gentry's, Secrest's
AND Godwin's and any other family they may have had. Thank you very much.

MGC 97-12-14 20:13:31 EST I am seeking information on Alexander Winford
who lived and died in Kent Co., his will dated/probated in 1790. Is there
a marriage record for him to a Margaret (surname unknown).
It is my theory that at his death, his children scattered, some moving to
North Carolina, where some of them ultimately moved on to Tennessee. My ancestor
is Benjamin Winford (one of the youngest sons) who died in Wilson County,
TN, by 1826, leaving his widow, Elizabeth Babb Winford, and at least three
sons: Alexander Grandison Bonaparte Winford, Benjamin Washington Grenade
Winford, William W. Winford. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
