These would be the heirs of Ebenzer Holloway. It talks abuot the division of the tracts named "Holland's Venture" and "Richard's Survey".

This is from the will of Capt. Richard Clark dated 1821-1825.

 

He gives unto Leah Long, the woman now living with me, and to her daughter that she now has called Hetty Robinson Long, the house wherein Mrs Ann Powell now lives and 3 acres of land....

It mentions the lands called "Conclusion to Lively Hill",

and a piece of land bought of Armwell Long called "Longs Discovery"...

Ken and Pat, Could this be the same CHANCE that was once owned by Richard Hudson and then his son John? Perhaps the John Lyon map has it placed too far south, below the state line. It would make sense for the property to be located where you said, Ken, near the swamp, for the Hudson family lived in that area. Perhaps it was an earlier state line Lyon was not thinking of. Is that area near Pollys Branch? What else do you know about CHANCE, Pat?

Hi,I was born and raised in Selbyville and now live in Dagsboro.A long-time resident of Dagsboro is Duane Calhoun Lynch (78). I will ask her if she has any info. for you (see her at the gym). Love GA---my daughter and son-in-law lived outside of Marietta(Powder Springs) when he was studying to be a chiropractor at Life. She was a dialysis nurse at Emery. Our granddaughter, Erica was born there in 1995 and is still refered to as the Georgia Peach.   Nina Lou Ringler Bunting.                                                                                                                                                       --- On Fri, 7/22/11, angelbells2001 <boyddeb@bellsouth.net> wrote: From: angelbells2001 <boyddeb@bellsouth.net> Subject: [SelbyvilleHistoryAndGenealogy] Visit to Sussex Co. To: SelbyvilleHistoryAndGenealogy@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, July 22, 2011, 10:19 PM   Hello from a wayfaring member of the group who just passed through Sussex Co, with a wave to Selbyville from Rt 113. We had been staying this week in Ocean City NJ and rode the Cape May - Lewes Ferry this morning . Had a lovely lunch and a drive and walk around in Lewes, with a stop at the Lewes Historical Society. I had wanted to see a little bit of Baltimore Hundred. Had located my paternal great-, great-grandfather, Smiley Calhoun (Calhoon/Colhoon), in the 1840 census, age 21, head of household, in Baltimore Hundred, where I continued to find him through 1860. (By 1865, he and wife Hester (Hettie) had moved to Millvile, NJ.) While in Baltimore Hundred, in censuses, no addresses were provided. His occupation was listed as farmer. So, I presume he lived in a rural area. Tried to track some neighbors , hoping that if they lived in the same area in a later census where street or road address was recorded, I might figure out the general area in which he had lived. Well, I wasn't successful. Tried consulting some vital document records (probate, marriage, church, deeds, family Bible transcriptions) in books in our library's collection, but unsuccessful, again. Checked a couple of church cemeteries (Blackwater Pres, some others) via findagrave.com, but a few Calhouns... however, not Smiley Calhoun. He reported in census reports that he had been born in Delaware and both of his parents, as well. I have consulted the 1868 map of Baltimore Hundred and found 2 Calhouns living near Indian River Bay, but cannot be sure if they might have been related to Smiley, who had already moved to south Jersey by that time. Some other surnames associated with Calhoun: He may have married Mary Evans in 1830, witnessed by several, including Aydlott, Robert Hudson. ( A woman of her age was not listed in his household in the 1840 census. Had she died?) In 1850, his wife was listed as Hetty and there were Jarvis women and children living with his family. His youngest child, John, was 5. Thanks for reading this far! Even though Calhoun may not have been a name in Selbyville, Calhouns were residents of Baltimore Hundred throughout the 1800s, perhaps earlier. If you'd have any suggestions for research in this area of Delaware, including how to determine where Smiley may have lived in Balt. Hun., and identifying his parents. I enjoyed my introduction to Sussex Co. on this very hot day. Now on to home in Acworth, GA (north of Atlanta). Debbie Calhoun Boyd

The overgrowth had been cut away a few weeks ago, but was already retaking the lot. Sorry, but I had forgotten about the Wm Campbell ground marker; I could have missed it and will look again soon. I would not guaranty that there are not more ground markers besides.

Also, I have corrected the Mary Campbell ascription to reflect 7 mo and not 8.

Subject: [SelbyvilleHistoryAndGenealogy] New photos of Hudson Cemetery #594 at Selbyville

 

Jason, You got them!! Fantastic! Tell us please, were the brambles which used to cover the cemetery already cut when you got there? I will be adding more info on the people interred there. Apparently a pink ground marker for Wm Campbell was not there. He was spouse of Mary who is there and he d in OH; I was sent a photo of the marker by a third party and can not get in touch with the person who took it. The third party said it was at Nut Hill Cemetery, which I have never heard of, nr Joe Long Cemetery at Selbyville.

Folks, I make the motion that we all give Marjorie our thanks for the website Selbyville History and Genealogy which she started in June a year ago. It is a valuable addition to writing the history of Sussex County DE and Selbyville in particular. There is no question she has given it a lot of care and hard work. All in favor, say "aye". Ken

Note that in addition to Smallwoods Security which you have been trying to place on the map it mentions "Buntens Mills" (plural but could be a mistake). Also note in 'Files-Land tracts nr. Sandy Branch' that the 1805 deed to Arthur McCabe for 1/2 of Chance states that in 1804 Jonathan Burtin (probably Buntin) had rec'd the other half. This is probably the deed that I have been looking for that proved McCabe and Bunting held the Mill in partnership. Also, since you have studied Buntins Mill does either of these facts give you any more insight into the ownership of the 2 Mills at Selbyville that Beers Atlas shows by 1868?

Maybe this is something that can create a new place to search? The names mentioned in this deed are James Murry and his wife Nancy of Sussex County, David Murray of Sussex County, Levin Carey and his wife Elizabeth of Worcester County, George Holloway and his wife Hannah, and Sophia Tull and her husband William of Worcester County. These would be the heirs of Ebenzer Holloway. It talks abuot the division of the tracts named "Holland's Venture" and "Richard's Survey".
