    The Results of the Phase II Deldot Investigations at 7NC-E 53 Indicate

    SITE INTERPRETATIONS The results of the Phase II DelDOT investigations at 7NC-E­ 53 indicate that the historic component of the site is undisturbed and in good condition. The site represents a farmstead and possible landing operation dating from the mid­ eighteenth to nineteenth century, and was owned at one time by a prominent local merchant, John Read. The site was occupied continuously throughout the nineteenth century, yet there is archaeological evidence that middle-to-late eighteenth century deposits are present in good stratigraphic contexts. Much of the site, particularly around the foundation, is unplowed. The historic artifacts recovered show archaeological evidence of historic sheet refuse disposal patterns. WILLIAM DICKSON SITE (7NC-E-82) INVESTIGATIONS SITE mSTORY Of all three sites investigated in the Patterson Lane Site Complex, the Dickson Site is the most difficult to trace historically. The site's history is easily followed backwards in time until 1844, then the trail of deed transactions and property transfers becomes murky and fragmentary. Table 8 presents a summary of the deed transactions for the Dickson Site. The property, which is presently owned by William T. Neal, Jr., was acquired by William T. Neal, Sr., in 1919 from George W. Butler of Christiana Village (NCCD N-28-260). Butler had bought the land, which consisted of 5.7 acres, from the heirs of Daniel Heisler Egbert in 1912 for $1000. There was a bUilding present 109 " ' TABLE 8 I DICKSON SITE (7NC-E-82), SUMMARY OF PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS Name (from/to) Reference Date Acreage Cost William T.

About this time the property was purchased by Alexander Wilson and what had been a two family workers' house was expanded into a large single family residence. By 1860 all the existing bUildings were in place and Wilson was advertising in the business directory on the Lake and Beers Atlas of 1860. 2. Original and subsequent owners: The following is an incomplete chain of title to the land on which the complex stands.

Hill to Alexander Wilson 1896 After Wilson's purchase of the property in 1853 it descended through the family to John Wilson in 1896, and then to Sarah Wilson Slack in 1930. The property was condemned for road i.mprovements in 1983 by the Delaware Department of Transportation.
