""""==.,-,•am;;=-=-=- ( J; KENT CouNTY WlLLIA,M SKELLY It is recorded that in 1770, the inhabitants living in the area of the headwaters of Broad Creek, petitioned the Maryland Assembly to provide money for the purpose of erecting a house of worship for them. At this time, this area was a part of Worcester County, formed out of Somerset County in Maryland in 1742. In 1751, the Transpeninsula Line between Maryland and Pennsylvania had been surveyed; it was agreed upon in 1760 by Lord Baltimore and Lord Penn. In 1764, the Mason­ Dixon Survey Line was completed. However, it was not until April 8, 1775 that ...,. ... ' ' \ a proclamation regarding the boundary lines was published by the Governor of �E.Fo,;:.t:. '!HE. E-sr,o.gL.1sttME.Nr tP1scoPAL CHuRC.H oR 1H<e. the three lower counties of the Province of Pennsylvania now known as Delaware. <"1)Joe£ SE. OF 'l>E.LAWAR E. This was followed by an Act of the Delaware Legislature on September 2, 1775 N'S ro£R€.-D A /;rE.NEIUH•. LY CA which confirmed the new boundary lines. ND THI!. MA!i:Y'LR p,;,.1<, oF 1775 C. ,c> t... ONY ur-J,-IL An Act of the Maryland Assembly was passed in 1770 levying eighty thousand pounds of tobacco on the inhabitants of Stepney Parish, Maryland for the pur­ pose of enabling the vestry to purchase land and erect a Chapel of Ease. In 1772, Old Christ Church, Broad Creek and the land on which it was erected was deeded to Stepney Parish by Robert Houston who built the church. Final payment is noted as is the sale of one half acre site, part of a parcel of land called "chance" and recorded in the deed in Worcester County, Maryland dated September 25, 1772. Since the Church of England was the official church of Maryland at that time, taxes were collected and administered through Stepney Parish, Maryland. The Reverend John Scott was in charge of Christ Church, Broad Creek from 1772-1775 when it became a part of Delaware. From 1780-1786, Old Christ Church was in charge of William Skelly, a lay reader. He was recommended by the Reverend J. Bow� and the vestry of Broad Creek Church. He was ordered a deacon on July 2, 1786 and ordained priest, July 3, 1786 by the first Episcopal Bishop in the United States, The Reverend Samuel Seabury of Connecticut. William Skelly was the 17th priest to be ordained in the Episcopal Church of the United States and the second in Delaware. It should be noted that ]J]) he must have been a man of great courage and devout convictions to accept this ordination at a time when the Church of England was almost defunct. He continued as rector of Old Christ Church until 1794. PRINCl'cSS ANNE O Q Early records record him as being associated with Stepney Parish and Worcester St. 4>lt>1<EW5 Parish and Cedar Creek in Maryland also Saint Mary's (1704 in Seaford area), Prince Georges (1706 - Dagsboro), St. Peter's (1708 - Lewes) in Delaware. It was customary to go to each church once in six weeks and served upon voluntary subscriptions on an annual agreement. Early vestry minutes of St. Peter's in Lewes record that he was hired not only to conduct the services but also to do carpentry work on the church building. The Protestant Episcopal Church in Delaware held a meeting in Dover on Decem­ ber 2, 1791 for the purpose of framing and enacting a constitution and promoting good government among the churches in the state. One of the five clergymen in the Diocese who attended this meeting was the Reverend William Skelly of Christ Church, Broad Creek near Laurel. He was one of a committee of six who wrote the constitution of the church in Delaware which was approved at this session. William Skelly took an active part in Delaware church affairs. He attended church meetings and conventions in Maryland as well as Delaware.

  • Collected Notes on CHRIST CHURCH, BROAD CREEK and HER NEIGHBORS. by Henry H. Hutchinson, 1963. INTRODUCTION Old Christ Church, S
    Collected Notes on CHRIST CHURCH, BROAD CREEK and HER NEIGHBORS. by Henry H. Hutchinson, 1963. INTRODUCTION Old Christ Church, sometimes known as Broad Creek Church, is lo­ cated about two miles east of Laurel, Sussex County, Delaware, and is in Broad Creek Hundred. It is on the south bank of Chipman's Pond, which is on the north fork of Broad Creek, sometimes called Gray's Branch. Since it is what might be called the "Mother Church" of a number of other Epis­ copal churches in southwestern Sussex, we have made this attempt to col­ lect as many facts, traditions (and possibly a few myths), pertaining thereto as we could find in books, pamphlets, newspapers, church and ::r: u court records, and stories or traditions handed down by "old timers" in 0:: ::::i the neighb,,rhood. These we have condensed as much as possible while still ::r: u giving as many facts and records as will give a clear picture of our 1--t Cf) findings. H 0:: Public services are held there on Whitsunday every year, and ::r: offerings at that time are used for the maintenance of the building and u Q the property. Visits at other times by parties interested in antiquities ..-1 0 can be arranged through the vestrymen or rector of St. Philip's Church, u.. Laurel, Delaware. 0 0:: This is necessarily only a small fraction of the whole history 0 H of the church, for most of the records containing its activities have 0:: Ul 1--t been lost.

Original building, still in good condition, has been repaired but never altered from, its · original design. Has huge hand hewn beams, old broad pine board box pews, hanging pulpit, etc. Annual services now held here on Whitsunday • • j RELIGIOUS LIFE IN COLONIAL DELAWARE M. Catherine Downing Religious life in co~onial Delaware was so closely allied to its political history that, in order to understand why some denominations disappeared and others flourished, it is necessary to recall by what manner of people the colony was founded. In 1631 the Dutch settled at Swanendael, "Valley of the Swans", present Lewes, but the entire colony was massacred by Indians. The Swedes came next in 1638 to the area of Wilmington. In 1651 the Dutch returned to Delaware, this time settling at New Amstel (New Castle), and in 1655 seized control of the Swedish colony. In 1664 both Swedes and Dutch were overthrown by the EngUsh, who maintained control until Dela­ ware became a state in 1776. With each group of settlers sent from a European cowitry under the auspices of the governing authority, the state religion was a part of the colonization plan. Just as the colony was governed by the Mother country, so was the church controlled and fostered by the governing church body of that country which supplied the ministers and nost of their support.
