This report documents a Phase I Archaeological Survey conducted adjacent to the (., i Tybouts Corner landfill, in New Castle County, Delaware. This survey was performed by '•<• Cultural Heritage Research Services, Inc. (CHRS) of North Wales, Pennsylvania for DPI Consultants of Wilmington, Delaware. Tybouts Corner is located at the intersection of Red Lion Road (Route 71) and DuPont Parkway (Route 13). The project area lies 1800 to 2700 feet southwest of the intersection, within the "V" formed by the converging roads. The project area is irregularly shaped, with one hundred feet bordering Route 71 and two hundred feet fronting Route 13. Prehistoric and historic archaeological site potential for the area is low. The project area is far removed from topographic, environmental, or geological features which would have been attractive to prehistoric populations. Potential prehistoric sites in the study area would, if present, be expected to consist of small, light density, lithic scatters. Historic maps of the study region show two structures in the vicinity of the project area during the nineteenth century. The location of these structures was carefully scaled. If the maps are precise, these structures would have been located outside the project boundaries.

  • Delaware Revolutionary Tax Lists from the Delaware Public Archives
    Delaware Revolutionary Tax Lists from the Delaware Public Archives Subcommittee of Revolutionary Taxes, Genealogy Committee, National Society Sons of the American Revolution John D. Sinks, Harold Ford, and Tilghman McCabe, Jr. March 17, 2016 Purpose of the Report Background. The state of Delaware first passed tax laws in 1777. There were earlier colonial laws, but of course none of them were passed to support the Revolution or to address requests of the Continental Congress. The Delaware tax lists that provide evidence of Patriotic Service for the Sons of the American Revolution must date between 1777 and 1783 inclusive. Every state tax levied by Delaware from 1777 through 1783, supported the War, including some that addressed a request of the Continental Congress. This included retiring bills of credit, an action requested several times by the Continental Congress in order to maintain the financial underpinnings of the Revolution. A colonial law authorizing counties to levy taxes to support civil functions remained in effect throughout the Revolution, so there is a need to distinguish county taxes (which do not provide evidence of Patriotic Service), from state taxes and combined county and state taxes (which do provide evidence of Patriotic Service). The Delaware Public Archives has custody of a number of Revolutionary tax records for the three counties of the state as well as county levy court records. These records include lists of assessments made from 1777 through 1783 as well as lists of delinquents for Kent County. By virtue of delinquency for a tax supporting the War, a taxpayer does not qualify for patriotic service even if the tax supporting the War was paid late.

The diverse collections are strongest for early Wilmington and New Castle County merchants and millers. HSD’s collections on Brandywine Mills are extensive for the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and strong on mercantile activity, agriculture (including a considerable number of valuable diaries), and transportation. Finally, the HSD holds a significant number of late eighteenth and nineteenth century general store records. HSD does not have many finding aids or indexes to collections; however, searches of the card catalog will yield important sources and connections. Also please see: Carol E. Hoffecker, Delaware: A Bicentennial History (New York, 1977); J. Thomas Scharf, History of Delaware, 1609-1888, 3 vols. (Philadelphia, 1888); and M. McCarter and B. F. Jackson, Historical and Biographical Encyclopedia of Delaware (Wilmington, 1882). RODNEY FAMILY HSD holds an extensive collection of papers relating to Thomas Rodney (1744-1811), many of which have changed names over time. At HSD the current Rodney Collection. (ca. 24 boxes) is the same as the H.F. Brown Collection. It contains the papers of both Caesar and Tomas Rodney. Elsewhere, researchers will find correspondence between Thomas and his brother Caesar (1728-84), and between Thomas and his son Caesar A.
