  • 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.

  • African American Historic Context CH V-IX
    Historic Context U.S. Route 301 Corridor Archaeology of African American Life, St. Georges Hundred New Castle County, Delaware V.0B AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD A.7B PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED AFRICAN AMERICAN SITES IN ST. GEORGES HUNDRED Eleven archaeological sites associated with African American settlement have been identified in St. Georges Hundred (Figure 60). All 11 sites are either farms or rural dwellings dating from the early nineteenth to the early twentieth centuries (Table 49). No African American archaeological sites dating to before 1800 have yet been definitively identified in the Hundred. Seven of the sites have been studied at the Phase I level. The remaining four sites, the Wilson Farm Tenancy Site, the Holton/Cann Site, the Dale Historic Site, and the Bird-Houston Site, were investigated more intensively through either a Phase II evaluation study or a full Phase III data recovery. Of the seven Phase I sites, the Segar Site was an African American owner-occupied farm. Two sites, the Philips Agricultural Complex and the Cann Tenant-Amos Bell Historic Site, were occupied by tenants and owners during different periods of their history. The Philips Agricultural Complex was originally an owner-occupied farmhouse in the early nineteenth century and transitioned to tenant occupation several decades later. Conversely, the Cann Tenant-Amos Bell Historic Site began as a small tenant dwelling when it was built around 1816. By 1838 the house had become the primary residence of its new African American owner. The remaining four archaeological sites were small house and garden properties occupied by African American tenant laborers or property owners.

    SAMUEL GRIFFIN OF NEW CASTLE COUNTY ON DELAWARE,. PLANTER; AND HIS DESCENDANTS TO THE SEVENTH GENERATION. COMPILED AND PUBLISHft;D BY THOMAS HALE STREETS, M. D., U. S. N. ,1t1a1ei,,t1, .... 190 5. INTRODUCTORY NOTE. There is a statement in one of' the books of Robert Louis Stevenson, that the proper summit of any Cambrian pedigree is a prince. I can give no better reason than this for the claim that has been made that we are descended from Llewelyn ap Gruft'ydd, the last Prince of Wales. .t_."'or n1y part, I have not beeri able to trace the family beyond the narrow confines of Delaware. In that State they were " childi:en of the soil. u 1'hey are characterized in deied and will as "yeomen " and " planters.". Griffith is a very common surname in the county directories of Wales. Griffin, the 14~nglish eorrup­ tion of the same name, is eeldom seen in those · books, but is quite common in the Englitsh border counties. TBOIIAS HALE STREETS. U. S. N.\VAL Hoxs, JlilacWplia, A, 14 .Ntrtc.arr, II06. THE FAMILY TRADITION. ,vhy does the number three appear in so many family traditions ; a,, for instance, " there were three brothers ? " Three is the holy number of the old Chaldeans, and its use may be a mysticism inherited from ren1ote r,ncestors. We are also told that the early Britons had a passion for the figure 3. In the tradition of the Griffin family three brothers came from Wales and settled in Delaware. This story has been handed down through several lines of descent, and is substantially the same in its several versions.
