Content:Age: Occupation: Homemaker State: Sweden, New Sweden (Delaware) # of Children: 1) We now know that the family originally settled in Appoquinimink Hundred, New Castle County, in what is now the state of Delaware but at the time of the Vardaman immigration (about 1705) was part of the Province of Pennsylvania. New Castle County, the northernmost of the three counties that would later form the state of Delaware, was originally settled by Swedes in the early 17th century and was a Swedish Colony before coming under first Dutch and later, ca 1674, British control. During the period that these three counties (New Castle, Kent and Sussex) were nominally under the jurisdiction of the Province of Pennsylvania they were generally referred to as “New Castle" (or Kent or Sussex) on the Delaware. 2) The original John Vardeman (Margaret's father) died in New Castle County (now Delaware) in 1714 at an undetermined age. (89 years according to this letter)Although we have no information as to his date of birth, he left 3 minor children at the time of his death, the youngest born ca 1708, and was assuredly not of an advanced age at that time. Information supplied by Jack Vardaman According to his will (see below) John's wife's name was Margarett, his grown son
Johannes and three minor children: |
