Of the several European projects which in the seventeenth century caused the great deportation of people fro1n the Old World to the shores of the New, none was n1ore remarkable than that which was. actively promoted by the Lords States General of Holland. The United Provinces were then the greatest maritime pow·er of the world, and the zeal for fresh discoveries with a growing thirst for extension of trade, sent the ships of the little Dutch republic into all known ports, while unknO"wn marts were keenly sought in the then per­ sistent efforts to find a ne\v passage to· India across the American continent. ·, \Vhile religious motives in some form more or less inspired emigration fron1 most other c0untries, trade was the don1inant purpose of the Dutch, religious propagation and other objects being the resulting and secondary incidents of the primary inspir&tion. But the latter, however originating, were the achievements ·which have had most immediate con­ cern \Vith the progress and history of mankind; and it is here that the early Dutch navigators won imperishable and deserved reno,vn.

SouxcES The record of the earlier generations is based largely on family bibles, and deed anJ will records for Susse:c County recorded in ~rgetown, and on the two books in which the late Rev. C. H. B. Turner collected a great deal of historical material concerning Susse."C County. I have not tried to present the chall,,,".ing historical scene in which our ancestors mo¥ed, inter­ esting as that would be, but for this mlb't refer the reader to Dr. Turner's books and the various histories of Delaware. The records of the later generations are based entirely on in­ formation gathered and reported to me by numerous members of the family, and to this e."Ctent the work is a cooperative enterprise in which I have only arranged the material provided by others.
