The south facade is particularly noteworthy with its undisturbed common bond wall surface punctuated with original window and door openings, several of which retain double rowlock arches.

O’Connor We would like to welcome you to the Caesar Rodney Historical Trail. We ask your cooperation with the following: Every Scout should realize that his conduct is being observed. The trail runs through public and private areas, and each hiker is a guest. Every Scout and leader should maintain a high standard of courtesy and friendly consideration for the property and feelings of others. Please be quiet when touring the buildings and private properties in and around Dover. It is recommended that Scouts wear their full Scout uniform while hiking the trail. We would suggest that your unit eat lunch on the Green, being careful not to leave any litter when you leave. Fires may not be built anywhere on the trail. It is suggested that each hiker carry a picnic lunch. There are restaurants along the trail for any Scouts that want to buy food. It is best that hikers start at Akridge Scout Reservation and cars can be parked either in Camp Akridge’s front maintenance parking lot or in the back main parking lot. Be sure to ask for permission before starting your hike. There are camping facilities at Camp Akridge if you make arrangements through Del-Mar-Va Council. Accommodations at Dover Air Force Base are available depending on military constraints.

    It is well to start with the family history at the founda tion , and then follow it up through its various changes to t 1 2 h the present ime . We will start about 9 , w en Rollo made peace with the King of France , and the Dukedom of Normandy was confirmed . In that settlement after a thirty ’ years war , the King of France agreed to confirm Rollo s title as Duke of Normandy , and give him his daughter in marriage ; the Duke agreeing to do homage to the King , to ’ become a Christian and marry the King s daughter . But w hen the time came for the Duke to do homage , he refused ’ to kiss the King s foot , and no persuasion or entreaty could induce him to perform that part of the ceremony . It was finally compromised by permitting Rollo to kiss the King ’s ’ foot by proxy , but when the courtier lifted up the King s foot , he raised it so high that it tumbled the King out of his chair , which created great laughter among those present . ’ Yet the King bore this indignity , well knowing that Rollo s army was too strong to meet in battle . fl From that time Normandy began to ourish , and during the time of its first six dukes , it was one of the richest pro vinces in the world , notwithstanding its many wars . When & ” William the Conqueror , who was the seventh Duke , came upon the stage of action , Normandy was divided into two ’ w ho classes , the nobility , were the descendants of Rollo s followers , and the peasants who were the descendants of the French ; so that we find a class of cultured people , who had TH E CL H Y TON M 4 FA IL Y .

  • Buried Beneath Philadelphia
    INTRODUCTION Take a stroll down any city street in America and your experience will be similar. As you walk along the sidewalk, you pass stores, offices, some homes, street vendors, and perhaps a parking lot. Cars, trucks, buses, and bicycles travel down the city streets. People can be seen walking to their destinations, waiting for a bus, or engaging in conversation. Occasionally, you may notice a building that has undergone renovation. You stop and take a look at the front of the building. If you look up, you can see some of the original detail of the building, and perhaps get some idea of how old it is. Was it a home, or a business? Suddenly you get a sense of what the street must have looked like years ago. But who were the people walking down the street then, just as you are now? Why were they walking along this street? Did they live here? Shop here? Work here? Then you realize, what if youcouldgobackandtravelthroughtimetogetaglimpseofwhatthisbuilding, this street, this area of your city looked like at some point in the past? You look down, and wonder if it could be possible to see through the city street to see what was there before the modern city you know. THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF NORTH 7TH AND ARCH STREETS Aerial View of Archaeological Excavations. In advance of planned construction of a Metropolitan Detention Center at North 7th and Arch streets in Philadelphia, a large urban archaeology project was conducted in 1995-96 by the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons.

    UPDATED OCTOBER 30, 2009 THE CLAYTON FAMILY The Branch from England to America The Clayton line is a very interesting one. One branch goes all the way back to Charlemagne and may give some Royalty to our lineage. Things get a little vague when you go back much beyond 1400, so I really have no firm idea if we are connected or not. Recent genealogists have discounted a direct link to this particular Clayton line. That line was in Yorkshire and Lancashire in the north of England. Our line goes back to about 1500 in the southern part of England, and then disappears. They are surly related, but I have no clues as to how they are. William Clayton, the immigrant to America had several children, and two of his daughters married into separate lines of our lineage. His daughter Honor Clayton who married James Brown tied in with the Piggott family on my mother's side and another daughter, Mary, married John Beals and they are related on my mother-in-law's side through the Beals family. People say it is a small world. Well, back in the 1600s it was a small world indeed. I have seen a number of genealogies that go way back. They are primarily in the works of James Bellarts and Elaine Rowland. The first section of this history will give a brief glimpse at these early folks, which may be our lineage. Recent work of Louis Jones, show there is no firm connection with these two lines. I will give the early history of the Lancashire Claytons, and then will give what I know about our direct line.
