This book is designed to assist historians & genealogists in the rather daunting task of identifying European settlers on the Delaware River prior to the Quaker invasion that began with John Fenwick s group in 1675 & culminated with William Penn s 23 boats in 1681-1682. Few records have survived in America for the Swedes, Finns & Dutch who constituted the overwhelming majority of the residents on the South River (as they called the Delaware) until they became outnumbered in 1682 by the continuing flood of emigrants from the British Isles. Contents: Wharton s Census; Upland Court Jurisdiction; New Castle Court Jurisdiction; West New Jersey Residents; Wiltbanck s Whorekill Census; & Name Index. Maps & illustrations.
