Note that in 1693 "Jacob Vanderveer" is taxable but in 1697 he is not,
which means he turned 70 between the dates of the two lists, so born
roughly between 1623-1627. In 1697, son Cornelius is taxed instead for
the value Jacob was taxed in 1693. Cornelius is not taxed in 1693, but
sons John and William are. William is taxed as being in Christina,
while Jacob, Cornelius and John are taxed in Brandywine. The tavern
that William ran was on the south side of the Brandywine (so in
Christina) where the road to Philadelphia crossed the river and ran
through the western portion of Jacob's total property (per the survey
map). Jacob Jr. is not taxed in New Castle, so had moved to Salem Co.,
NJ by the time of the 1693 tax assessment.

Jerry it is wonderful to have all this information. Thanks again
Are you ready for Christmas?

Later, Barbara

[Jerry Vandiver]

As ready as I can be! LOL!!! My daughters have been hinting for weeks now. I tell them every time that Dad is just too "slow" to take a hint and if they ask outright the answer is no! LOL!!!   Hope it is a good one for you, personally, I will be glad to see 2010 end. It has been a very trying year for me.   Jerry --- On Tue, 12/21/10, Barbara Masterson <gran...@earthlink.net> wrote:

Please God that 2011 will be much better for you. 

      If it is any help - we give cash and let our daughters and grandsons buy what they want. Saves a lot of our time and they can choose what they want

     Perhaps your ancestors would be content to delay being discovered so you can have some peaceful time before years end. Start the new year refreshed. 

Hugs,  Barbara
