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. -

3.1 Introduction
3.0 HISTORIC CONTEXTS 3.1 Introduction Kent County, South Murderkill Hundred, and portions of the project area have been the subject of numerous cultural resource investigations. The historic contexts produced below rely heavily on those earlier reports. These include the Historic Context and Master Reference and Summary (Herman et al. 1989); Agricultural Tenancy in Central Delaware, 1770-1990+/-: A Historic Context (Siders et al. 1991); Historic Context: The Archaeology of Farm and Rural Dwelling Sites in New Castle and Kent Counties, Delaware, 1730-1770 and 1770-1830 (Bedell 2002); Historic Context: The Archaeology of Agriculture and Rural Life, New Castle and Kent Counties, Delaware, 1830-1940 (De Cunzo and Garcia 1992); Architectural Survey and Evaluation, Proposed SR 1/Frederica Interchange, South Murderkill Hundred, Kent Count, Delaware (Archibald et al. 2004); and Architectural Survey and Evaluation Report, SR 1, Little Heaven Interchange, South Murderkill Hundred, Kent County, Delaware, Vol. 1 (Archibald et al. 2005). A complete bibliography is provided in Section 7.0. 3.2 Exploration and Frontier Settlement (1630-1730±) During this period, Euro-American settlements were widely scattered and found predominantly along the coast or navigable streams of Kent County. Water was the most dependable form of transportation, and roads were non-existent or crude and often impassible in spring and fall (Herman et al. 1989:19-29). Although Swedish, Dutch, and Finnish settlers had been in the Delaware area since 1630, in 1682, the year William Penn assumed control over the “lower three colonies,” only 99 tithables (adult males) were present in Kent County (Scharf 1888:1030). -
