ARVEY, HITCHENS posted by Sharon Arvey on Monday, February 13, 2006

I am searching for any information concerning the family of Levin Smith HITCHENS, born ca1844 and died aft.1930. He married Julia A. ARVEY ca1865. They resided in Little Creek Hundred, Sussex County, DE. A HITCHENS family reunion began about 1955. The second reunion of the descendants of the late Levin HITCHENS and Julia HITCHENS was held a Trappe Pond State Park with 125 members of the family present. So, I'm definitely hoping that someone out there has information about this family.

John CARR (16-26), Nathan CARR (16-26) and Henry CARR (26-45) appear in the 1800 Sussex County Census - Nanticake Hundred page 331. There was also possibly an Ezekiel CARR who was related to them. I'm seeking information about the family groups of these CARR households. Specifically, were they born in Delaware? Who were their parents? They all moved to Harrison County Kentucky around 1806. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Searching for any info on Covington MESSICK, born c.1805 in Delaware, and his wife Sina (unknown maiden name). His son was Nehemiah MESSICK, born c. 1830 in DE, who married Kizziah MASSEY. Their son was George A. MESSICK Sr., born c. 1865, de., who married Olevia SHERWOOD. Their son was George A. MESSICK, Jr., born 1886 in Sussex Co., DE, and his daughter was Alice Louise MESSICK b. 1915, Sussex Co., DE, my mother. I find this Covington MESSICK in census records 1850-1870 with children and wife and later wife and grandchildren. i cannot find any birth or death records at the Delaware public archives or any land or probate records. Somewhere in a family bible is the key that will unlock my brickwall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to find siblings/parents of Covington.

LITTLETON, SMITH posted by Evelyn Smith on Monday, May 1, 2006

Searching for information on Lemuel SMITH probably born circa 1775. Handy SMITH (1806-1884) married Sarah LITTLETON about 1825 possibly in Worcester County, MD. The marriage record has not been found. They migrated to Pickaway County, OH in 1839. The SMITH family history, written by Handy and Sarah's descendants, appears in a local genealogical/historical work written near the end of the 19th century and reports that the father of Handy was Lemuel SMITH. The only persons named Lemuel SMITH found to date in the DelMarVa region around the beginning of the 19th century live in Sussex County, DE. It is reported in the 1850 census that Clarissa SMITH, daughter of Handy and Sarah SMITH, was born in Delaware. Please contact me if anyone can help with this family.

Our McALLISTER / McCALLISTER family plot is located in the Odd Fellows Cemetery. Our "old homestead" is now the shopping center across the street. My grandparents were Thomas F. and Permelia Ann (CANNON) McALLISTER. I would like to hear from anyone interested in these names for either research or historical purposes.
