  • 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.

  • This Report Describes the Research Methods and Plans, Excavations
    INTRODUCTION This report describes the research methods and plans, excavations, analyses, and results of the archaeological investigations of the Patterson Lane Site Complex, near Christiana, New Castle County, Delaware (Figure 1). The Patterson Lane Site Complex consists of three separate historic sites: the Patterson Lane Site (7NC-E-53), the William Dickson Site (7NC-E-82), and the Heisler Tenancy Site (7NC-E-83) (Figure 2 and Plate 1). Archaeological investigations were conducted on the sites within the complex as part of the cultural resources survey of the planned realignment of Delaware Route 7 around the town of Christiana, which in turn was part of a larger upgrading and realignment of Route 7 from 1-95 to U.S. 13 (see Catts et al. 1988a). Phase I survey and testing and Phase II investigations of the sites were funded by the Delaware Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration, and were undertaken to fulfill regulatory obligations under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (amended) to evaluate the effects of the proposed relocation and realignment of Delaware Route 7 on significant, or potentially significant, cultural resources as defined by the National Register of Historic Places (36 CFR 60). The Patterson Lane excavations were conducted in the summer of 1982 by archaeologists of the Delaware Department of Transportation. Phase I and II field investigations of the Dickson and Heisler Sites were undertaken in the winter and spring of 1986 by archaeologists from the University of Delaware, 1 Center for Archaeological Research (UDCAR). Preliminary artifact cataloging and analysis was performed on the Patterson Lane Site artifact assemblage by the DelDOT archaeologists, and final artifact cataloging and analysis, and report preparation for all three sites were conducted by UDCAR in 1987.

  • National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form
    NPS Form 10-900-a OMB No. 1024-0018 (3-82) Exp. 10-31-84 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form Continuation sheet_____________________Item number N-6l88 _____Page 2____ INVENTORY FORM: WHITE CLAY CREEK HUNDRED MULTIPLE RESOURCE AREA E. Justification of Boundaries; The boundaries of the nominated property coincide with the boundaries of the legal parcel. Because the property fronts on Elkton Road, is bounded on the west by Casho Mill Road, and on the north and east by modern residential development, selection of these boundaries best preserves the integrity of this historic resource. F. Significance: The Andrew Kerr House is significant as an early example of a stone dwelling in White Clay Creek Hundred, and is important in understanding the early history and development of the hundred. The Kerrs were one of the first Scotch-Irish families to settle in the western part of White Clay Creek Hundred, and were prominent members of the Head of Christiana Presbyterian Church. Therefore, this property is being nominated to the National Register on the basis of criterion C, as it embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction; and on the basis of criterion B for its association with persons significant to the local:past. Samuel Kerr, patriarch of the White Clay Creek Hundred family, came to this country from Scotland, and settled in the western portion of the hundred, southwest of the Village of Newark. It was Samuel's son, Andrew, who built this stone house in 1805 authenticated by the initials AK and 1805 in a stone under the right gable said to be the most complete stone house erected in White Clay Creek Hundred at the time.
