Subject: Re: Tract "Friends Assistance"
Marjorie, John Bunting received a warrant for "vacant and in part cleared and improved lands" in 1793.  This tract is identified as Friends Assistance in the deed for Friendship in the same year since the two properties share the same boundary.   The same tract is named as Friends Assistance in John's LWT in 1813.  Comparing the information on both deeds shows John's Friends Assistance bounded on the north by Friendship, on the west by Chance, on the east by Zadock Selby and on the south by the MD line.  John Lyon shows Friends Assistance as spreading over a larger area than the 100 acres owned by John Bunting, a large part of it in WO Co.  and north of St Martins River.  I think the original tract became divided when the resurveys were made after the transpeninsular line was run.  The mention of John Tull is interesting because he lived at or at least owned property at/near Bishopville.  Tulls Branch is named for that family.  The fact that Caleb Lynch mortgaged 170 acres in 1795 would suggest that his was a different property than the one owned by John Bunting  Haven't we seen the name Friends Assistance mentioned somewhere else also?

Subject: [SelbyvilleHistoryAndGenealogy] Tract "Friends Assistance"

 

Ken, when did John Bunting buy it? Today I found "Friends Assistance" connected pre-1800 to the Lynch family. My source was a Rootsweb tree which I can no longer find.
I have entered the full statement I found in Files: LYNCH
Here is the essence re the tract:
"In Nov. 1731 Alexander Lynch/Linch was willed Friend's Assistance by John Taylor (probably his fa-in-law) of Accomac Co.VA, son of Robert Taylor. The land was on north side of St. Martin's river in Somerset Co.
In Wor LWT 1767 Alexander left his sons Levi 100 a. and Reuben 200 a. of Friend's Assistance (Dryden's Land Records of Wor. Co.)
Caleb, son of Reuben, in 1788 sold 17 acres to John Tull(Dryden).
In 1795 Caleb mortgaged 170 a. of Friend's Assistance, part of which was in DE and part in MD, to Littleton Robbins (ibid). [John Lyon on LDR message board posted , "Virtually all Lynch surveys in SO/WO fell in modern Sussex."]

The above tract description is not very specific and it could be a separate tract from John Buntings but there were Lynches in the Sandy Branch area and they had to live somewhere. Levi Linch is in Balt Hd in 1800 but not after. Rubin and William,likely sons of Reuben, were in the area 1820, Rubin to at least 1840. There was an Edward in 1800 & 1820 and a Betty in 1810 in one of the hundreds of SE Sussex.

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.

His 3 sons received the Plantation FRAGMENT (pat to John Dennis se of ST. Martin's Church).

I think properties named Friends Assistance are going to to turn up all over the territory, none of them connected to each other.  It's like the name Chance.  Everybody liked it.

Posssibly.However, John Holloway was near the Selbyville area and so was Friends Assistance. Do you which Zadock Selby sold the land to John Bunting? Where did this Zadock Selby live?

I've never found any mention of Zadock Selby in the census so I suppose he was deceased by 1800.  However, in the survey of Johns Bunting's Friendship 1793, Zadock Selby owned the property next to and south of it, in the right angle made by Johns two properties Friendship and Friends Assistance.  This was at the Md line so I suppose Zadock may have owned more property there.  Other properties neighboriing John were himself (Chance), James Fassett, William Morris and Stephen Styer.  William Morris is in the 1810 Balt. Hund. census.  Wm Morris also owned properties on Poplar Swamp Road.  The total of Johns properties at the time of his death in 1813 was 276 acres not including Chance which I think was probably 75+, and the home place of a few acres.  These properties were arranged in an arc just above the Md line leaving space at most for 100 acres for Zadock Selby in Del., which means that Zadock may have owned 200 acres in Del before dividing and selling 100 to John.  I have been able to position these properties fairly precisely from the information in the plat for McCabes Purchase of 1867, by which time the surveys were more accurate.  Do you suppose Schoolfield sold Friends Assistance to Zadock Selby sometime between 1787 and 1793?

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).

Subject: Re: Chance original patent found in Somerset

Marjorie, the location I have used for John Bunting's Chance comes from two sources: The deed for Friendship to John Bunting in 1793 which describes it adjoining Chance and the survey for Isaac McCahe
listed as McCabes Purchase in photos the plat of which gives an explicit location for Friendship, Friends Assistance and Chance.  Neither document gives acreage for Chance.  In the warrant to John Bunting  in 1793 for the tract later called Friends Assistance according to his LWT, it describes it adjoining a tract called Chance belonging to John's father Jonathan.  So there were two properties called Chance next to Friendship and Friends Assistance.  One or the other or both of these may have been the Chance formerly belonging to Miles Hudson.

Ken, This is my info:On 19 FEB 1770 Arthur Lathbury gave to Belitha Hudson, son of Miles Hudson, 100 acres "Chance"for his maintenance. (WOLR, Dryden:103)
[CHANCE  patented 10 OCT 1715 by Thomas Quillan for 100 a. on n.e. of St Martin's River. On 5 Aug `1727 Thomas Quillen of Kent Co. DE, son of Thomas, sold it to David Hudson, 100 a.. On 20 FEB 1738 David Hudson and wife Amey sold to Arthur Lathbury 100 A.

Miles d in DE.Belitha was b in DE. I am thinking it was on the property Chance. You do not show the acreage on your map and show John Bunting as owner. What was the acreage and how did John come by it?

Ok.  I have read Bill Hudson's submission again and here is what I think.  If you look at the latest version of my map you will see near Lighthouse road a dashed rectangle on Bunting Branch.  That is where I think the dam/sawmill named Chance was.  And this is my interpretation of known facts:
     Miles Hudson deeded 5 acres with a dam/sawmill to Jesse Gray 1779.  As you can verify from other sources, Jesse Gray had a lot of varied interests and probably never ran the sawmill himself.  He probably sold it to someone else at a later date.
    Somehow this same property came into the hands of a financier named Thomas Hazzard.  Hazzard mortgaged it to Jacob Rogers 1800 who must have been unable to make payments,  so that Hazzard then re-mortgaged 1/2 the property to Jonathan Buntin 1804 and the other half to Arthur McCabe 1805.
     The mill mortgaged to Jonathan and Arthur could not have been the same as the one on Buntins Desire since Jonathan paid taxes for the fiscal year 1803/04 on a sawmill and 22 acres, meaning he owned it in 1803 as taxes then and now are levied on what is owned at the beginning of the fiscal year. 
    Owing to topography and water flow, there are no other suitable places for a mill of any kind at the head of St Martins River in Sussex Co except the one in the Miles Hudson document and the one on the property Buntins Desire, both of which are on the Pomeroy-Beers map.

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?

Nina Lou, do you know if the Ellingsworth Oil Company bought out the Pure Oil Company in Selbyville? We are trying to date a picture of the Ellingsworth Oil Co staff, taken when Dr. Carey was mayor of Selbyville. Do you know when that was?

Back in the 1960's, I used to work with a gentleman named M. Kieth Ellingsworth that had ancestry connections to the Selbyville area.  Did any of you SHAG folks know him?  He lived in Anne Arundel Co, MD.  His family may have been connected to the oil company.  Kieth was doing a lot of family history research in the years prior to his death.

Re: Ellingsworth Oil Company

My dad stopped teaching to become a partner in the Pure Oil Co. with my grandfather, E.V.Baker, in 1941. Later Dad bought grandfather's interest and it was known as H. B. Adams & Co., Inc. As a child it was a tongue twister to say "Pure Oil" when asked what my father did. He delivered the heating oil himself, mother's cousin Esther Long answered the phone and kept the books and there may have been another 1 or 2 male employees. I do not know who bought it in 1949 when Dad returned to teaching. Officers for the corporation were Edgar Rickards, Francis Rickards and Earl Tingle.[see photo of letterhead in Selbyville businesses.]

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

My dad stopped teaching to become a partner in the Pure Oil Co. with my grandfather, E.V.Baker, before I was born in 1941. [He was out delivering heating oil when mother's labor pains started so my Aunt Helen had to drive Mother to the hospital in Salisbury and they made it just in the nick of time.] Dad took over the Co. sometime after 1946 and named it the H.B. Adams & Son Pure Oil Co. I do not know who bought it in the 1950s when he went back to teaching.

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

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.

Nina Lou, did you take a look at that photo I just added to Churches-Salem-Sunday School Class?  I loved seeing "Mr Billo" in the background and little Bill "Hut" as a handsome young man. Do you know the ____ Rickards Gray? Janet Morris Scott sent me the picture. Wish I could upload her knowledge of Selbyville!

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.

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

Subject: Selby Hudson
 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.

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.

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

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!

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?

 My Dad passed on at age 58 and the mantle of family genealogist passed on to me prematurely. Hezekiah did not have a son Selby according to the meticulous research of Jason Hudson so I think the Selby referred to must be the brother of Hezekiah and son of Richard Jr. born about 1736. He would have been about the right age to receive the distribution from the John Aydlot ( Aydellotte ) estate in 1753 and likely to have been deceased by 1800 ( in 1940 male life expectancy was 60.8 so surely it was less in 1800 ).   Richard

Selbyville was named for Sampson Selby who moved a store from just over the line in MD to the confluence of Sandy and Polly Branches bef 1840. I have never been able to find the document that the town used for the basis of the date 1778 for its founding. [I have come to the conclusion that the info is erroneous]. It was not officially named Selbyville until a post office was established there at Selby's Store with Sampson's son Josiah as the first postmaster .
My ancestors and others lived at Sandy Branch since bef 1750, including John McCabe and his wife Mary (HUDSON) McCabe.

In the 1783 Balt. Hd. Tax List there is a Selby Hudson next to a John and Hezekiah.By 1800 he is not on a census. A Selby Hudson rec'd a distirbution from John Aydellotte's estate in 1753. I have him as son of Richard Jr. but wonder if he was a son of Hezekiah who d bef 1800.

A few years before Mother d in 2005 (age 99) she handed me the baton of family history. She had joined the DAR before she was married back in the 1930s.

    Thanks for the correction and I will get it right next time. Actually I was just entering the names by memory ( not a list ) and thought I had entered your name. It took me a long time to become aware of just how much you were "into" genealogy. I should have been sharing all important info with you years earlier, but better late than never. Have a great weekend. Richard

P.S. Was Selby named for Selbyville? The town was founded in 1778 and he was born in 1780.

I didn't get it in my personal mailbox so please amke sure I remain on your Hudson mailing list.

Your last statement about all of us descending from Henry 2 is not correct. Many of us descend from Richard Sr., not his brother Henry 2. However we all descend from Henry 1 m Lydia.

Yes, those were the good old days.  Out get togethers were at a cottage on the dune line south from the pavilion.  My sister Betty has some photos.  On the subject of postcards, I've read somewhere that at one time there were postcards issued for just about every community in America, not just resorts and famous places.  So my question is, were there postcards for Selbyville and does anyone have one?

Ken, I have a postcard,too, of old Fenwick. Genevieve Parsons gave it to me--her husband ,Donald ,the son/grandson of Parsons's Store just passed away. Several of my relatives from Selbyville had cottages there--all children of Wm. T. (Big Hand) and Stell Long Hudson-----Wm. T.,Jr.(Willie),Edna, and "Little Bill Hutt" on north side of road, Myra Hudson Smith and George,sons, Robert and George Frank, on the ocean front to left of pavillion and Valorous Hudson,Ethel, Raymond and Vernadette on south side of road. I ate many chicken and dumpling dinners in those cottages--slept on damp sheets--used the outhouses---drank cold "pop"----so many wonderful memories with family !!  Nina Lou

Thanks.  Now I have the time frame.  The sand road you refer to was Lea Avenue.  Jane Bunting has photos of it.  Now that you mention Parsons, I remember the name.  Garra probably retired about 1945 and may have sold the store to him.  Ken

Nina, can you say more about the country store you mean in Fenwick?  The only store I remember going to in the 30's and 40's was on Lea Avenue operated by Garra Bunting.  Was there another one?  At a different time?  Ken

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

  I assumed it meant their home since they didn't mention a business but if it was a residential district, perhaps not. I'll try to figure out this SHAG thing later. Help is always welcome! We are headed out now to see the movie War Horse.  Richard
