  • Caesar Rodney's Services and During the American Revolution
    E207 .R6 .F73 Delaware's hero for all times and all seasons by William P. Frank I © Copyright, 1975, by the Delaware American Revolution Bicentennial Commission Design by James A. Collins B IVES hero bv William P. Frank Illustrations by A. N. Wyeth Delaware American Revolution Bicentennial. Commission Wilmington, Delaware 1975 This booklet is dedicated to The Honorable Sherman W. Tribbitt, Governor of the Delaware, in recognition of his own dedication to bringing proper recognition of Caesar Rodney's services and during the American Revolution. Thomas McKean, Caesar Rodney, and George Read, Deirnt·are 's signers of the Declaration of Independence. Caesar Rodney rides through American history as the patron saint of his native state, Delaware's principal hero of the American Revolutionary War. In his brief 55-year life he held more public offices than any other Delawarean before or since. He was a soldier, a judge, a delegate to the American Continental Congress, speaker of the Delaware Assembly, a chief executive of Delaware, a justice of the state's Supreme Court, and held many other offices of public trust. Unlike Thomas McKean, George Read, and John Dickinson, with whom he served in Congress, Rodney was not a scholar. McKean and Dickinson, because they were more learned, were better known beyond Delaware's boundaries than was Rodney. But it is Rodney's name, not McKean's, Dickinson's nor Read's that is familiar to Americans today. The equestrian statue in Wilmington, Delaware, of Rodney riding to Philadelphia to cast Delaware's deciding vote for the Declaration of Independence in July, 1776, has been adopted by scores of writers, artists, playwrights, poets and businesses as the symbol of Delaware's participation in the American Revolution and the Declaration.

  • Jeffrey L. Scheib* ONE of the MOST Important Documents to Survive
    A 1688 Census of Kent County, Delaware Jeffrey L. Scheib* NE OF THE MOST important documents to survive from the Oearly colonial history of the state of Delaware is a partial census of Kent County taken late in the spring or sometime in the summer of 1688. The 1688 enumeration was not the earliest census of the Kent County population.' Nevertheless, it was the first census of the region to provide detailed information on the members of each household, listing not only the name of each freeholder in the county but also the names and ages of everyone dwelling in each household. Of importance both historically and genealogically, the census provides a fascinating glimpse of the population of Kent County at a very early period. Introduction The circumstances surrounding the compilation of the 1688 Kent County census remain a mystery. In December of 1682, shortly after he had assumed jurisdiction over the Three Lower Counties of New Castle, Kent, and Sussex, William Penn' issued an order to the justices of the peace in each of the counties: I do also think Fitt that an Exact Catalogue be returned to Me, of the Names of all the People of your County, Masters, Mistresses, Servants, Parents, Children, allso the number of Acres each Free Holder hash, and *Editor's Note: The author is indebted to Rosalind, . Belle; former assistant editor of the Biographical Dictionary of Early Pennsylvania Ligiclaton project. During the course of her research on several Kent Countians who served as representatives in the Pennsylvania Assembly before the year 1 nv, she discovenxi a partial transcript of the Kent County census in the Matilda Spicer Hari Collection at the Genealogical Society cf Pennsylvania.
