FOWLER, WALLS posted by Brian Smith on Tuesday, June 18, 2002

I am trying to find the cemetery for WIlliam FOWLER and his wife, Eliza, maiden name unknown. Their daughter Sarah Elizabeth Fowler was born July 16, 1844. She married Robert James WALLS. They are both buried in Reynolds Cemetery, near Milton, Delaware. William is supposedly buried in the Old Methodist Cemetery in Milton, but there is no cemetery of that name on the GNIS index. I am planning a trip through the area and would like to find this cemetery. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone have information on the Blackwater Presbyterian Church located near Frankford, Delaware?

I am interested in finding birth, marriage and death records on members of the church, specfically relating to the CROPPER family.

DERRY posted by Joan Brown Derry on Friday, September 6, 2002

The 1920 DE Census for Sussex County lists Basil DERRY, age 32, white, farmer, born in DE, parents DE; Georgiana DERRY, age 38, white, wife, born in DE; Linia DERRY, age 3 1/2, white, daughter, born in DE; William J. DERRY, age 1 1/2, white, son, born in DE. I am very interested in this family. Basil DERRY is a family name -- and I've not heard of this individual before. My husband's 4th great-grandfather was Bazil DERRY from Fayette Co., PA. Attempting to establish ties to the state of Delaware. They are gone in the 1930 DE census. Thanks so much!

HAZZARD, WALLS posted by Wanda Young on Sunday, October 20, 2002

I am looking for decendents of Levin WALLS and Alice HAZZARD WALLS, born 1780 to 1797 in Sussex Co., DE. I have a list of names in Orphans Court when Levin died in 1797, but don't know if some were Hazzards by her first marriage. I need dates of children's births. I also need to know which HAZZARD Alice married and her maiden name. If anyone out there searching WALLS fits this family, please contact me.

RENNELS posted by David Kent Coy on Sunday, October 20, 2002

I am a descendant of John RENNELS, Sr., who was born 17 Feb. 1781 in Sussex County, Delaware. He supposedly moved to Madison County, Kentucky with his widowed mother after his father was killed by a falling tree. He was married 25 July 1805 in Madison County, Kentucky to Nancy Ewing Bland. Her maiden name in the marriage record is given as Ewing in one place and Bland in another. She was born 14 Jan. 1787 and died 26 Dec. 1867. They lived in Lawrence County and Vermilion County, Indiana before settling in Hutton Township, Coles County, Illinois where he died 12 Aug. 1866. I suspect his parents to be John and Elizabeth (Betsy) Rennels, but have no records on them. Can anyone help? Thank you.

HAZZARD, MANLOVE, WALLS posted by Wanda Young on Sunday, October 20, 2002

MARINE, ROSS, ROTTON, WROTEN posted by Nancy M. Dickinson on Sunday, October 27, 2002

I am researching a cluster of ROSS families from the 1800 Sussex County, Northwest Fork Hundred, DE census. One of them are the parent(s) of my GGG Grandfather, William ROSS, born there 1800/1803. At least two of the families migrated to Ross County, OH as the Unice (Eunice, wife of Thomas) is buried in Good Hope, Fayette, OH. The listing from the census is as follows: Robert Ross, Micheal Ross, Shadrack ROTTEN (WROTEN), Archibald Ross, Clement Ross, Unice Ross, Thomas Rotten, Job Rotten, Gibson Ross, Hughett Ross, William Ross, Jr., William Ross, Sr. Interested in any and all references. It is rumored that in the 1810s or so, there was a wagon train of about 50 families that came from the DE/MD area (my MARINEs included) to the Ross County, OH area.
