  • Jeffrey L. Scheib* ONE of the MOST Important Documents to Survive
    A 1688 Census of Kent County, Delaware Jeffrey L. Scheib* NE OF THE MOST important documents to survive from the Oearly colonial history of the state of Delaware is a partial census of Kent County taken late in the spring or sometime in the summer of 1688. The 1688 enumeration was not the earliest census of the Kent County population.' Nevertheless, it was the first census of the region to provide detailed information on the members of each household, listing not only the name of each freeholder in the county but also the names and ages of everyone dwelling in each household. Of importance both historically and genealogically, the census provides a fascinating glimpse of the population of Kent County at a very early period. Introduction The circumstances surrounding the compilation of the 1688 Kent County census remain a mystery. In December of 1682, shortly after he had assumed jurisdiction over the Three Lower Counties of New Castle, Kent, and Sussex, William Penn' issued an order to the justices of the peace in each of the counties: I do also think Fitt that an Exact Catalogue be returned to Me, of the Names of all the People of your County, Masters, Mistresses, Servants, Parents, Children, allso the number of Acres each Free Holder hash, and *Editor's Note: The author is indebted to Rosalind, . Belle; former assistant editor of the Biographical Dictionary of Early Pennsylvania Ligiclaton project. During the course of her research on several Kent Countians who served as representatives in the Pennsylvania Assembly before the year 1 nv, she discovenxi a partial transcript of the Kent County census in the Matilda Spicer Hari Collection at the Genealogical Society cf Pennsylvania.

  • The Political History of Delaware During the Civil
    THE POLITICAL HISTORY OF DELAWARE DURING THE CIVIL WAR DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Harold Bell Hancock, B. A., A. M. The Ohio State University 19& Approved by: Department of History Preface Among the unexplored subjects in Delaware history is the story of politics during the Civil War. With the exception of an honor's thesis at Princeton University and a monograph upon Lincoln's emanci­ pation plan, no special studies of the period have ever been undertaken. The key to the era is politics, or the study of the relationships of the state and federal governments and of the state and citizen. There­ fore, it is worthwhile to examine closely these political connections. The most important source of information lies in the newspaper and manuscript collection in the Historical Society of Delaware. Indis­ pensable are the legislative journals, laws, and miscellaneous papers at the State Archives. The Wilmington Public Library, the Longwood Foundation, and Memorial Library at the University of Delaware furnished some material. Some letters and diaries were loaned by Delawareans. Outside of Delaware, the most rewarding material was found in the manuscript collections of the Library of Congress and National Archives. Through personal visits or by correspondence, letters of importance were located at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, University of North Carolina, Duke University, University of Chicago, Stanford University, University of Rochester, and Friends' Historical Society at Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. Contacts with other institutions were disappointing. The author is indebted to many persons for assistance.
