Events
William [Gregg] built a log cabin located on Stand Milas in 1684.[8]
Note: William [Gregg] built a log cabin located on Stand Milas in 1684, his neighbors were Matthias Defosee, Henry, and Thomas HOLLINGSWORTH, Thomas WOOLASTEN, George HOGG, William HOGE, John HUSSY, and William DIXON. The book "Hockessin" says Ann Gregg the second child and only daughter of William Gregg, was the second wife of William DIXON 1662-1708. William DIXON purchased a one hundred acre farm from Letitia Penn which was located between the farms of John and Isaac DIXON. West of William Dixons land was a plot belonging to Thomas DIXON which completed the belt across the Hockessin Valley with the exception of John Houghton's one hundred acres.The DIXONS and the HOUGHTONS were old family friends and after Williams death Ann married John HOUGHTON.

AUGUST 2, 1715, purchased 800 acres of the Staning Manor lands.[9]
Note: On August 2, 1715 John Houghton purchased 800 acres, a part of "Letitia Manor", "a certain tract of land situated on the south side of the Brandywine Creek, in the province of Pennsylvania." The land is located in "Mill Creek Hundred." "Mill Creek Hundred" is situated in the north-western part of New Castle County, and is bounded on the north and west by the Circle, on the east by Red Clay Creek and on the south by White Clay Creek. John's 800 acres includes the present location of the village of Hockessin.

Note: William Penn, wishing to suitably provide for his two younger children, William and Letitia, directed Henry Hollingsworth, surveyor, by warrant bearing date February 17, 1699, to lay out some land for them. In the following year thirty thousand acres were surveyed for them in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and New Castle County, Delaware. This entire tract was known as "Staning Manor." To William Penn, Jr., was granted fourteen thousand five hundred acres, mostly in Chester County, and a small part in Mill Creek Hundred. The remaining fifteen thousand five hundred acres, described in the patent as "a certain tract of land situated on the south side of the Brandywine Creek, in the province of Pennsylvania," were conveyed, October 23, 1701, to Letitia, who afterwards married William Aubrey, of London. The lands of Letitia were named "Letitia Manor." Power of attorney was granted to James Logan and Reese Thomas to convey the property. The first sale from the tract was made August 17, 1702, when John Gregg purchased two hundred acres.

The following persons were purchasers of the Staning Manor lands at the dates given:

August 2, 1715.? John Houghton, 800 acres.

Note: MILL CREEK HUNDRED is situated in the north-western part of New Castle County, and is bounded on the north and west by the Circle, on the east by Red Clay Creek and on the south by White Clay Creek. The hundred abounds with streams favorable for manufacturing, and, doubtless, on this account received its name. The land was early taken up and improved, and is in an excellent state of cultivation. The hundred is principally noted for the number of manufacturing industries that have existed, and still exist, within its bounds. A branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad runs through the northern and eastern parts, and affords facilities for travel and shipping. The climate is healthful, and the land fertile, producing wheat, corn and oats in abundance. The assessment list of 1804 contains the names of four hundred and sixty-three taxables. At that time there were in the hundred ninety-nine log houses, forty-eight stone, twenty-one built of brick.

Note: VILLAGES.?

Hockessin is situated in the northern part of the [MILL CREEK ] hundred, on a portion of an eight-hundred tract of Letitia Manor granted to John Houghton August 2, 1715. The name is an Indian word, said to mean "good bark," and was so called on account of the excellent quality of white oak found in this locality. The village has grown considerably since it has railroad facilities. It at present contains three churches, five stores, a hotel, post-office, school-house, station on a branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and about four hundred inhabitants.

CHAPTER XLVI.
MILL CREEK HUNDRED.

MILL CREEK HUNDRED is situated in the north-western part of New Castle County, and is bounded on the north and west by the Circle, on the east by Red Clay Creek and on the south by White Clay Creek. The hundred abounds with streams favorable for manufacturing, and, doubtless, on this account received its name. The land was early taken up and improved, and is in an excellent state of cultivation. The hundred is principally noted for the number of manufacturing industries that have existed, and still exist, within its bounds. A branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad runs through the northern and eastern parts, and affords facilities for travel and shipping. The climate is healthful, and the land fertile, producing wheat, corn and oats in abundance. The assessment list of 1804 contains the names of four hundred and sixty-three taxables. At that time there were in the hundred ninety-nine log houses, forty-eight stone, twenty-one built of brick.

William Penn, wishing to suitably provide for his two younger children, William and Letitia, directed Henry Hollingsworth, surveyor, by warrant bearing date February 17, 1699, to lay out some land for them. In the following year thirty thousand acres were surveyed for them in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and New Castle County, Delaware. This entire tract was known as "Staning Manor." To William Penn, Jr., was granted fourteen thousand five hundred acres, mostly in Chester County, and a small part in Mill Creek Hundred. The remaining fifteen thousand five hundred acres, described in the patent as "a certain tract of land situated on the south side of the Brandywine Creek, in the province of Pennsylvania," were conveyed, October 23, 1701, to Letitia, who afterwards married William Aubrey, of London. The lands of Letitia were named "Letitia Manor." Power of attorney was granted to James Logan and Reese Thomas to convey the property. The first sale from the tract was made August 17, 1702, when John Gregg purchased two hundred acres. The land purchased by Gregg extended from the circle eastward through the hundreds of Mill Creek and Christiana to Burns? Run. Red Clay Creek passed through the tract and on the stream Gregg erected a grist-mill, which he conveyed to his son William, April 10, 1730. William, by his will bearing date January 10, 1746, devised his estate to his sons, Harmon, William, Joshua and Jacob, each an interest. Jacob, August 20, 1769, conveyed his interest to his son Harmon, a miller. The mill is situated in Christiana Hundred, and was owned in 1804 by John Phillips and later by Baldwin & Chandler.

The following persons were purchasers of the Staning Manor lands at the dates given:

August 2, 1715.? John Houghton, 800 acres.

VILLAGES.?

Hockessin is situated in the northern part of the hundred, on a portion of an eight-hundred tract of Letitia Manor granted to John Houghton August 2, 1715. The name is an Indian word, said to mean "good bark," and was so called on account of the excellent quality of white oak found in this locality. The village has grown considerably since it has railroad facilities. It at present contains three churches, five stores, a hotel, post-office, school-house, station on a branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and about four hundred inhabitants.[20]

Source: #S406 Data: Text: William [Gregg] built a log cabin located on Stand Milas in 1684, his neighbors were Matthias Defosee, Henry, and Thomas HOLLINGSWORTH, Thomas WOOLASTEN, George HOGG, William HOGE, John HUSSY, and William DIXON. The book "Hockessin" says Ann Gregg the second child and only daughter of William Gregg, was the second wife of William DIXON 1662-1708. William DIXON purchased a one hundred acre farm from Letitia Penn which was located between the farms of John and Isaac DIXON. West of William Dixons land was a plot belonging to Thomas DIXON which completed the belt across the Hockessin Valley with the exception of John Houghton's one hundred acres.The DIXONS and the HOUGHTONS were old family friends and after Williams death Ann married John HOUGHTON.
? Source: #S420 Data: Text: Scharf, Thomas J., History of Delaware, 1609-1888. CONT Volume Two- pp. 914-932. CONT CONT CHAPTER XLVI. CONT CONT MILL CREEK HUNDRED. CONT CONT MILL CREEK HUNDRED is situated in the north-western part of New Castle County, and is bounded on the north and west by the Circle, on the east by Red Clay Creek and on the south by White Clay Creek. The hundred abounds with streams favorable for manufacturing, and, doubtless, on this account received its name. The land was early taken up and improved, and is in an excellent state of cultivation. The hundred is principally noted for the number of manufacturing industries that have existed, and still exist, within its bounds. A branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad runs through the northern and eastern parts, and affords facilities for travel and shipping. The climate is healthful, and the land fertile, producing wheat, corn and oats in abundance. The assessment list of 1804 contains the names of four hundred and sixty-three taxables. At that time there were in the hundred ninety-nine log houses, forty-eight stone, twenty-one built of brick. CONT CONT William Penn, wishing to suitably provide for his two younger children, William and Letitia, directed Henry Hollingsworth, surveyor, by warrant bearing date February 17, 1699, to lay out some land for them. In the following year thirty thousand acres were surveyed for them in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and New Castle County, Delaware. This entire tract was known as "Staning Manor." To William Penn, Jr., was granted fourteen thousand five hundred acres, mostly in Chester County, and a small part in Mill Creek Hundred. The remaining fifteen thousand five hundred acres, described in the patent as "a certain tract of land situated on the south side of the Brandywine Creek, in the province of Pennsylvania," were conveyed, October 23, 1701, to Letitia, who afterwards married William Aubrey, of London. The lands of Letitia were named "Letitia Manor." Power of attorney was granted to James Logan and Reese Thomas to convey the property. The first sale from the tract was made August 17, 1702, when John Gregg purchased two hundred acres. The land purchased by Gregg extended from the circle eastward through the hundreds of Mill Creek and Christiana to Burns? Run. Red Clay Creek passed through the tract and on the stream Gregg erected a grist-mill, which he conveyed to his son William, April 10, 1730. William, by his will bearing date January 10, 1746, devised his estate to his sons, Harmon, William, Joshua and Jacob, each an interest. Jacob, August 20, 1769, conveyed his interest to his son Harmon, a miller. The mill is situated in Christiana Hundred, and was owned in 1804 by John Phillips and later by Baldwin & Chandler. CONT CONT The following persons were purchasers of the Staning Manor lands at the dates given: CONT CONT August 2, 1715.? John Houghton, 800 acres. CONT CONT VILLAGES.? CONT Hockessin is situated in the northern part of the hundred, on a portion of an eight-hundred tract of Letitia Manor granted to John Houghton August 2, 1715. The name is an Indian word, said to mean "good bark," and was so called on account of the excellent quality of white oak found in this locality. The village has grown considerably since it has railroad facilities. It at present contains three churches, five stores, a hotel, post-office, school-house, station on a branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and about four hundred inhabitants.

NoteRebecca Finley is named in records of her father Eleven Finley, my ancestor, as married to Alexander Wharton. However, the marriage record in Ga (Greene County) seems to fit. When her father's estate was settled in Arkansas between 1829 and 1840 Rebecca did not claim her inheritance. Her father moved to Arkansas about 1817/18. Records do not show a reply from Rebecca or her husband.4
