Marjorie, is this the family tree you said you had seen but couldn't find?  Or maybe you have it now.  Following is the info on it's location and the names of the Lynches involved.  I've been doing a little digging, and it seems everyone in MD or DE must have lived there at one time!

LWT 1813. And, I just found that John III Holloway (m Benjamin Long's sister) bequeathed in 1787 100 A of Friends Assistance (there is an indication that it was only part of the original tract) to John Schoolfield. His 3 sons received the Plantation FRAGMENT (pat to John Dennis se of ST. Martin's Church).

Nina Lou, the reason I mentioned Dean and Fay is because of what Richard Hudson wrote--if you will read down a few messages you will see it he sent it to me (instead of to SHAG) and I copied it here to get it with this thread. Guess I should go look at that oral history piece to find out what they said.
Never will forget Doc Whitacres (sp?) where we used to walk to buy our 5cent popsicles after dinner in the summertime.
My grandparents lived a few more houses down (w.) on that side of Church St.past the brown shingled one that Sara Lee (Evans) and Ray Stevens lived in when they were first married. The large white house you are thinking of had been turned into an upstairs/downstairs apartment. Sandra Morris lived with her mother in the downstairs one when we were in high school.

Richard, thanks. Nina Lou and I can vouch for the fact that our families were involved in running it so we know it was there! Our memories are just a bit fuzzy on facts we heard from relatives no longer with us. In the McCabe oral history piece I take it the McCabes said the bag company was across the street from__ their home, their business?which?

 Just letting you know that I am using the 184 page manuscript listing almost all of Selby Hudson's grandfather ( William's ) descendants, which I believe came to me from Glen Timmons by way of Sue Hudson and using information posted by Bill Hudson, to my tree on ancestry where my username is richardhudson67. The 184 page manuscript is attached there as well, both to Selby and to William but people on the tree can easily be added to yours. Please be aware that some of the info is in dispute. For example, all the listed Charlton descendants will only be children of Elizabeth Hudson if she lived past 1863 which is in dispute ( all help appreciated in this regard ). If anyone knows the e-mail address of Joyce Rockenbaugh please forward this to her. I entered about 1/2 of Selby's grandchildren yesterday. With 17 children there are a lot! Wish me luck! Have a great weekend. Richard

P.S. William is the son of Henry Hudson Jr. from whom we all descend. He was born in 1710 and Selby in 1780. I descend from Henry's son Dennis.

Yes, I remember Sandra Morris across the street. Okay then, your grandparents' house is still there (as Sandra's is gone). Had forgotten that Ray and Saralee lived in the brown one.I couldn't sleep trying to remember names. I think Betty Tingle's young husband was Dale Ellingsworth.She is now Bates. Her sister, Norma married George Hoehmyer(sp?) and their adopted daughter, Amy, inherited the Country Store---don't know if she still owns it. I went thru all the West's names----"Jug", Mildred,etc.I have made fun of Franklin when he has done the same thing----going up and down the streets of Frankford trying to remember the names of all the deceased people who used to live there.Let's keep remembering--the activity will keep Altziemers (sp?) away !!  NL

Nina Lou, the reason I mentioned Dean and Fay is because of what Richard Hudson wrote--if you will read down a few messages you will see it he sent it to me (instead of to SHAG) and I copied it here to get it with this thread. Guess I should go look at that oral history piece to find out what they said.
Never will forget Doc Whitacres (sp?) where we used to walk to buy our 5cent popsicles after dinner in the summertime.
My grandparents lived a few more houses down (w.) on that side of Church St.past the brown shingled one that Sara Lee (Evans) and Ray Stevens lived in when they were first married. The large white house you are thinking of had been turned into an upstairs/downstairs apartment. Sandra Morris lived with her mother in the downstairs one when we were in high school.

Now, why did I put Brittingham ??????Just that I was on the phone tonight and a Brittingham was the topic of our discussion!!  Oh, my, old age !!
Dean and Fay's shoe store was next door--west side--of the new Hasting's Drug store which was on the opposite side of Church from the movie theater.Remember the old Hasting's and Whitticker's (sp??) were on each side of the theater.? Dean and Fay bought Mrs. Simpler's old home next to my Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop McCabe( across from Post Office) and later tore it down and built their new brick home there. Didn't your grandparents live in the house next to the Post Office ?? Sorry so long--ran battery down.   NL

Nina Lou, you are a veritable encyclopedia of goodies about Selbyville folks. In your explanation did you mean to say Brittingham Oil Co.? [Ellingsworth Oil Co. maybe?] Was it Brittingham Oil before or after?
Dean and Fay McCabe must have lived (or worked) on the n side of Church St.
I am also thinking that since the Rickards' brothers and Earl Tingle were listed as Officers in the Pure Oil Co., they may have been investors when Pop-Pop sold it to Dad and maybe Dad sold out to them. Marj

Edgar Rickards,his brother Francis and brother-in-law ,Earl Tingle owned Rickards Bag CO. My dad was their book keeper (and picked up bags from suppliers in other states) after he returned from WWII (about 1945 until 1955 or so). The bag co. was to the eastside of where Town Hall is right now and sat back off of Church St. as Town Hall does. A hardware store was built in front of it at one point ( West's and then Anderson's)---that area is now  the parking lot for Town Hall. The oil co. backed up to the bag co. ------they were backyard neighbors-----as the oil co. faced McCabe St.The connection with Brittingham Oil Co. and the Rickards/Tingles is that Earl and Ada Rickards Tingle's daughter (Betty)was married to Ellingsworth. He was electrocuted and she remarried several times and was the owner of the Country Store in Fenwick.   Nina Lou
