Box 482 Centre Hall, Pennsylvania 16828 January 2011 i ABSTRACT Phase Ib archaeological survey was conducted for Section 1 of the US 301 Project Development, located in St. Georges Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware. The proposed project consists of the construction of a limited access highway on new alignment. Field methods consisted primarily of pedestrian surface survey, together with shovel test and test unit excavations in wooded areas, in areas of potential buried soils, and at discovered archaeological sites. Field survey resulted in the identification of 19 historic resources, including 18 archaeological sites and one historic landscape feature. Three archaeological sites had only prehistoric components, eight sites had both prehistoric and historic components, and seven sites had only historic components. Five of the 18 archaeological sites are recommended not eligible on the basis of the Phase Ib survey. Phase II survey is recommended for 13 of the archaeological sites, to further evaluate their eligibility. Phase II survey is also recommended for the landscape feature, a historic railroad line.

  • Chief Justices of the Modern Supreme Court
    DELAWARE CHIEF JUSTICES—LEADERS OF THE JUDICIAL BRANCH CHIEF JUSTICES OF THE MODERN SUPREME COURT As a separate and co-equal branch of government, the Judicial Branch is led by the Chief Justice, who, pursuant to Article IV, Section 13 of the Delaware Constitu- tion, serves as the administrative head of all of the State courts. Since the founding of the modern Delaware Supreme Court in 1951, there have been seven chief justices, all of whom have served with distinction. In appreciation of their outstanding service and the important role they have played in leading the Judicial Branch, the Judicial Branch recognizes these distinguished leaders. Chief Justice Clarence A. Southerland (1951-1963) Chief Justice Southerland was born in Balti- more and raised in Wilmington. After receiving a law degree from Georgetown University, he served in World War I and practiced law. At the time of his appoint- ment as chief justice, he was known as one of the lead- ers of the corporate bar and during his tenure as chief justice, the Supreme Court issued a number of seminal corporate opinions. Chief Justice Charles L. Terry, Jr. (1963-1964) A native of Kent County, Chief Justice Terry attended Washington and Lee Law School and was admitted to the Delaware bar in 1924. In 1938, after having served as secretary of state, he was appointed resident judge of the Superior Court in Kent County, becoming president judge in 1957. He joined the Su- preme Court in 1962 and, in 1963, was elevated to chief justice. However, he served only one year as chief justice, choosing to resign his position and run for governor.

Philadelphia was three days to the north—a glamorous cosmopolis which* would afford young Rod- ney an endless round of tea, grog, and coffee drinking with friends, of visiting the ships on the river, and of playing billiards in Spring Garden.

Compared with the 1940's, when one might even commute from Dover to Philadelphia, the isolation was indeed great. Most especially was this true of Kent and Sussex counties.

THOMAS COATES STOCKTON. Dedication To THE MEMORY OF MY HusBAND, The late Thomas Coates Stockton, M. D., Who gave to the collection of these records many years of effort: and who, at the time of his death, was looking forward with pleasure to their early completion and publication. Although this satisfaction was denied him, the work has been continued according to his plans, and the book is issued as a loving tribute to his memory. Dr. Stockton might well be taken as a typical representative of many of the qualities which have made his family distinguished. He was imbued with that proper pride which makes a man a better citizen because he has family traditions to maintain. Both as a man and a citizen he set up for himself a high standard, and main­ tained it with a consistency which won and held the respect of his neighbors and associates. He was a man of much steadfastness and tenacity of purpose,~ yet broad-minded and considerate, and greatly beloved as a physician. This work will also ·bear testi­ mony to his conscientiousness, for he spared neither pains nor expense to verify statements of fact and to resolve doubtful ques­ tions. The reader may rest assured that every means in his power \Vas exhausted to have the work free from errors. It is sin­ cerely hoped that his ambition to have it become the standard ,vork on the Stockton Familv for manv vears to come mav be -· .,., - realized.
