Joan is it a single grave site or in a "cemetery"? Is there a marker? How far from the road?

Following is an edited message received from Joan:
Mitchell Morris Cemetery (located on the north side of Lighthouse Road, about 1/2 mile East of Hudson Road)
could read 3 of the stones:
Charles O. Morris - Died July 19, 1883 - aged 22 years, 2 months, 8 days [believe this to be Charles B. Morris]
Charlotte J. Morris - wife of Lemuell [sic; Armwell] Morris - died Dec 27, 1885 - aged 45? years, 10 months, 26 days [this age probably correct]
(Tatnall gives her age as 24 years, 10 months, 26 days)
Armwell Morris - died Jan 29, 1894 - aged 55 years, 4 months, 29 days.
Other 3 stones in Tatnall records for the same number:
infant of Armwell L. and Charlotte April 4, 1883 - April 4, 1883
Mitchell Morris - died July 8, 1887 - aged 73 years, 9 months, no days
Rachel H. Morris - died Dec. 9, 1883 - aged 73 yrs, 5 months, 14 days
Owner of this farm found an unmarked grave back in the field with a crypt but no marker. He had no idea whose grave it could be. [Perhaps Mitchell's father William who willed land in 1815 to Mitchell?)

Does anyone have any information about a post office being located on this land? Walt Bunting says he can remember his uncle telling about working in a post office in the house where he now lives. Mr. Walt is about 80-85 years old.

How far back from the road is the marker located?
Is it buried in the trees?
It would be nice to have a picture of it on this
site if it could be gotten.

One of the deeds for lands near Selbyville mentions a Puncheon Branch. Just to see what it might mean, I looked in a dicttionary for the word Puncheon. Here are a few of what I found:

Definition of PUNCHEON
1: a pointed tool for piercing or for working on stone
2a : a short upright framing timber b : a split log or heavy slab with the face smoothed
3.a large cask of varying capacity, but usually 80 gallons (304 l).
4.the volume of such a cask, used as a measure.

puncheon , plank or board made by hewing instead of sawing. American pioneers who could not procure the products of sawmills made much use of puncheons in their log buildings. The puncheons used for floors were split logs hewn smooth on the split side only.

It showed a picture of a puncheon trail. It looked like split logs (puncheon) laid 6 or more feet apart on the wet ground and then planks laid length-ways to make a long wooden trail or bridge. Seems like the perfect way to get through swampy areas.

The most recent US Geographical Topo Maps list the following streams for the Selbyville area:

Agricultural Ditch
Bearhole Ditch
Beaverdam Branch
Birch Branch
Bishopville Prong
Buck Island Creek
Bunting Branch
Church Branch
Georgetown Branch
Harry Creek
Latchum Creek
Middle Branch
Perkins Creek
Piney Gut
Polly Branch
Sandy Branch
Slab Bridge Prong
Spring Branch
White Oak Swamp Ditch
Windmill Creek

I have no idea where a lot of them are, and some appear to be rather far from Selbyville. There are many other streams that are not in this list.

To locate many of these streams, you may want to try the DNREC maps if you have not done so already.
http://maps.dnrec.delaware.gov/navmap/

Another good source that maybe of interest is the UD map collection.
http://www2.lib.udel.edu/subj/maps/internet/delmaps.htm#hist

The Sussex County online mapping system can provide good information if you have not used them already.

Refer to point 2.
It appears that the 1786 Hezekiah Hudson LWT distributed a total of 150 acres to wife Mary and three sons. Note the duplication of these 2 items.
1. "First I give to my well beloved wife Mary the house I now live in and fifty acres of land adjoining... "
2. "I give to my son Benjamin Hudson the house and fifty acres of land where I now live after my wife's death, to him, his heirs and assigns forever."
Perhaps (the younger?) Benjamin was to come into full possession of his 50 acres at the death of his mother.
The 150 acres would harmonize with the 150 acres of the 1758 patent, though the 1762 deed is less clear on the amount of acreage.
Also the 1858 deed where David sells to W.B. McNeal referring to land joining "Jacob HIckman, George Holoway & others" states the property to be "all the lands that his father Benjamin Hudson left him".
The 1868 David Rumsey Baltimore hundred (heads of household) map places W. B. McNeal owning 2 adjacent properties with closest neighbor J Hickman and a close second Mrs E Holliway in the Jay Patch area just south of Bear Hole Ditch. The map was made 10 years after the 1858 David Hudson to W B McNeal deed & 19 Years after the Levin Hudson to Ephraim McNeal deed; and I can find no other McNeals on the map.
Obviously, if the 77A Jinney's Addition deed names Benjamin & John A Hudson of Dennis Security as borderers, this too has to be addressed. I know that the Jay Patch location places the possible site for Dennis Security at the extreme limits for the description "near the head of St Martins River" found in the 1762 deed, and it is always possible that this McNeal could have relocated. I think my next question has to be, where was Jinney's Addition? Is there additional documentation on this tract?

Jason, I have revised my history of Dennis's Security based on your astute finding of the duplication in Hezekiah's LWT. I know you are busy, but I really need to know parties and location description in the 1762 deed you keep referring to. Do you have copy? abstract? that you could add to site , or send to my email? Thanks for your valuable input.

I know that the Jay Patch location places the possible site for Dennis Security at the extreme limits for the description "near the head of St Martins River" found in the 1762 deed, and it is always possible that this McNeal could have relocated. I think my next question has to be, where was Jinney's Addition? Is there additional documentation on this tract?

Would any of the Sussex Co. members have time to visit the Georgetown Deed Office to look for "Jinney's Addition" (perhaps another spelling?) owned by Benjamin Long at his death in 1800. I do not find it as a Worcester land tract on MSA plats.net. Anyone have access to Dryden's Wor Land Records to double check?
I am presuming it was a Sussex survey/resurvey after 1775, and either surveyed for Benjamin Long or bought by him. It is not in Wright's Land Records of Sussex 1769-1782, Mason& Wright's 1782-1789 or Ardine's 1789-1792. Does anyone have the volume after to check?

I'll try to get to the Archives in Dover or the Nabb Center soon to look for "Jinney's Addition". I've had little success at the Georgetown Recorder of Deeds mainly because of the lack of organization; and a lot of the older archival records are at Dover anyway.

Jason

You just never know what you will find once you look.

I have mention of Jenney's Addition in an abstract by Leslie and Neil Keddie

 

Folio 570  Date: 09/19/1817

 

Grantor : Ruth Long

              Dr. Paul Howard

              Betsey Howard, wife of Dr. Paul

Grantee: Samuel Campbell

 

For and in consideration of the sum of $225.00 current money, ... that was laid off by Ezekial Williams, Esq for the said Betsy Howard as her part of her father's land which tract or piece of land called Jinney's Addition and cont. 77 acres more of less and is adjoining a tract of land called "Dennis's Security" now in the possession of Benjamin and John A. Hudson now the meaning and intent of these premises is that the said Campbell does purchase and the said land that was left to the said Betsey by the last will and testament of her father Benjamin Long to have the same more of less excepting the land that is drowned and over flowed by the mill pond belonging to Josiah, Zeno and Joseph Long which said land has previously sold and received pay for and where the said Ruth has a dower right to the said land.

 

Signed:    Ruth Long (mark)

               Paul Howard

               Betsey Howard (mark)

Thank you Joan. When at Georgetown Land Records, did you run across anything resembling an Index? I was there only once but found the experience unfruitful.
I believe this is the piece you were refering to Marjorie? It does make sense that Samuel Campbell purchased the property in Sep. 1817 & a John "Cammell" (probably Campbell) purchased all of John A Hudson's land next door in Oct 1817. I wonder if/how these might be related to John A's sister Mary, already a Campbell in Hezekiah's 1786 LWT? Does this also place Hezekiah next door to Benjamin Long father of wife Mary? That would be an interesting connection.

There is an index. The one inside the main room goes back to (I don't remember the year) and then another index for the very early years in the hallway with the older records. The last time I was there, early in the summer, they were moving some of the books from the hallway back into the main room. I think they had somehow made more space for them. These are still not the original records. They are handwritten copies in books. Some records are now online but not before 1899-?. So if you know who owns the land now, it can give you a starting place to trace the land backwards.

Jason,Yes Keddie's Jenney's Addition is the same as "Jinney's Addition". For some reason I can not quite sort our what you are asking about the interrelationships of the the Longs, Campbells and Hudsons but here is what I have:
Mary Long, sister of Benjamin (of David) became Mary Hudson, wife of Hezekiah Hudson. I have evidence for this, but no proof and it is contrary to all other researchers.
Her daughter,Mary Hudson (John A's sister)of Hezekiah became Mary Campbell, wife of Wm Sr. Campbell. They had, among others, Samuel and John. They all went to Ohio after Mary died in a wagon fall in 1828. She is buried in Hudson's/Hickory Tree Cemetery.
Yes, there is proof that Benjamin Long lived beside Hezekiah Hudson. If this does not answer your question, wing another one.

Sorry Marjorie; too many ideas at one time. So now I'm thinking perhaps if one of the Campbells sold before going to Ohio there might be a deed with (hopefully) more info to offer? It's another place to look.

"lands taken upin Maryland patents were resurveyed by the surveyors of Penn's government in 1776." p1340 History of Delaware , Scharf, J. Thomas.
 I have a copy of the resurvey for James Murray's "Addition" dated 30 Apr 1776.
This topic makes me then wonder, when "Collin's Lot" was resurveyed for Benjamin Long, did part of it become "Jenny's Addition"? or was another property called "Jenney's Addition" included in the resurvey of "Collins Lot"?  My thinking here-to-fore has been that it was another property he bought. There were no Jenneys that I know of in the Long family.

According to the Tatnall records there is a Jiddie Holloway (1810 -1882) buried in a small plot across from the Jay Patch area. Along with her husband Thomas J. Holloway (1829-1900). If Tatnall is correct then Jiddie was 17 years older than her husband. In the 1860 census she is indexed as Ida and has a child indexed as Ameniel. I wonder if that is supposed to be Armwell... just a thought.

Interesting, the grave site is located on "Feather Lane".

Tatnall also lists and Aaron and Fanny Holloway / Halloway there.

Tatnall lists a Jane Holloway as wife of Thomas J but places her at the main street cemetery. She died 1903

Photos of the grave site are in the 'Photos' section now. It's on Feather Lane and within site of the west end of Bear Hole Ditch on Pepper Road which cuts through the area called Jay Patch. Ownership placement on the 1868 Baltimore Hundred map indicates it to be on the property of Aaron Holloway with T J Holloway owning just a bit south on what's now Jay Patch Road (which apparently used to go through to the Roxana Road).

Another interesting tidbit I found is that the 1840 Baltimore Hundred Tax Assessments have "Levin Hudson of B" & "Polly Hudson widow of B" on the same page next to "William Hickman of Selby" and "Aaroron Holaway". (1840 is the year Benjamin Hudson died and Levin inherited Dennis Security.) Also, the 1844 Tax Assessments have Levin Hudson of B next to Ebenezer Holloway (person only), George B Holloway, Jacob Hickman and William Hickman of S; with Jacob Hickman picking up acreage from a Thos Waples in 1846 and from William Truitt in 1848. And on the 1868 Baltimore Hundred map is a W Hickman slightly south of Jay Patch Road and both a J Hickman & a Mrs E Holloway as closest neighbors to W B McNeal who purchased of Dennis Security in 1858.

Just a little more food for thought.

Ken et. al., The Wm Layton and Ebenezer Holloway files that I posted today places Holland's "Dublin", bought by Layton, on Rt. 17 just east of Selbyville, with Ebenezer Holloway's partitioned land northward, adjacent to Hezekiah Hudson's heirs John A. and Benjamin, adjacent to Benjamin Long's "Jinney's/Jiddeys? Addition" which had included flooded land from Isaiah, Zeno and Joseph Long's mill, bought from Jonathan Bunting on whose land Ebe Campbell lived, next to Arthur McCabe on Sandy Branch with James Murray and John Campbell with David Murray nearby. Have I got it?

For example, most of you probably glance quickly through wills and deeds looking for somebody you know and haven't even noticed a phrase such as "next to" or "near" or "the creek" or "surveyed by" or "purchased from" and any number of other possibilities. Many of these documents have such phrases. So go back and read them, I mean read them this time.

The Layton markers are posted in the Photos section. Just happened to get them the other day when visiting with Freddie Stevens. The site is well off the road and not very accessible. Did not know at the time that William Layton & wife Nancy were there. In fact, I didn't know that she was Nancy (Nanny) of Hezekiah Hudson. Thanks Marjorie for another Hudson connection. (Happy face) Do you have a LWT or other doc making the link? Did that info also come the Pepper resource?

Jason, fantastic!!  Do you know if this the same as Polly Branch Cemetery?  or just on a property on the road? Could you put the location in the description in the Photo Album--thanks!

This is not a primary source but: William & Nancy Layton parents of Nancy Layton m Joseph McCabe p1 Descendants of John McCabe, 1727-1800. 3rd ed. by Vernon McCabe.

I don't remember if Dorthy and Paul mentioned the Hudson connection in the interview.  You could go to the link on our Links page and using your "find"  search Hudson/Hutson.

I sure wish Freddie was into computers because he is so knowledgable about Selbyville's history. Did you find out anything new from him re Selbyville?  I don't think I ever asked him directly if he knows any sources for the 1778 founding date or the 5 men supposedly involved.

Bill, (and Jason), He found it in the Wm Layton file I posted. (then, oops!, the source I gave him doesn't prove it at all.) It is speculation on my  part based on the birth yr. of 1782 for Nancy, wife of Wm Layton [from Jim Moore (LDR)], the date works for Nanny of Hezikiah,  and the proximity of the Hudson and Holloway lands at this time. Did I speculate too widely?

Why not do an example of the placemarking you are speaking of? Use Joe Long Cemetery. Are you thinking of us making a copy of the google map to place in the appropriate Photo file?

Marjorie, I wouldn't say you speculated too widely. From what you have said it looks like a good fit and evidence enough to use as a probable connection until better proof is found to confirm or refute it.
 
The cemetery is located on the north side of Polly Branch Road just a little west of Old Farm Road. I think it is still in the Stevens family possession. I'll take some time to learn the placemark system soon.
 
On another note, do you remember in your research (or anyone reading this) coming across a Milby Hudson b.1806 who married a Mary A Baker and then moved out of state? Someone with a really close DNA match to me has asked me to help them on this.

Thanks, Jason

Dau POLLY BAKER b: ABT 1806 in Concord, Sussex Co, DE
next child James Baker b abt 1809 Ross Co. OH
Polly was probably living in Pickaway when she was of marriageable age and Guernsey/Washington where Milby was in 1830/40 are not real close. Washington and Meigs are both on the Ohio River. [I live just outside Marietta in Washington Co.]

Milby Hudson, b in MD per census. He most likely married Mary Baker before migrating west. Interestingly my gr gr grandmother was a Mary Unknown Baker, b abt 1806 and widowed bet. 1826-30 and I have not positively located her after that.

Does anyone know whether these are the parents of Mary Ann Layton who married Milby Bunting? Mary Ann had a daughter named Hulda/Huldy.
