Book Description
Excerpt from Some Records of Sussex County, Delaware There is probably no State in the Union where one would find less material for writing its history than in Delaware, says the American Historical Association in its report for 1906. Let one attempt to write the history of any portion of Delaware and the statement of the American Historical Association will be found only too tr'ue.

Book Description
"It is offered not as a textbook nor as a scientific discussion, but merely as reading entertainment founded on the life history, social struggle, and customs of a little-known people."—From the Preface C. A. Weslager's Delaware's Forgotten Folk chronicles the history of the Nanticoke Indians and the Cheswold Moors, from John Smith's first encounter with the Nanticokes along the Kuskakarawaok River in 1608, to the struggles faced by these uniquely multiracial communities amid the racial and social tensions of mid-twentieth-century America. It explores the legend surrounding the origin of the two distinct but intricately intertwined groups, focusing on how their uncommon racial heritage—white, black, and Native American—shaped their identity within society and how their traditional culture retained its significance into their present. Weslager's demonstrated command of available information and his familiarity with the people themselves bespeak his deep respect for the Moor and Nanticoke communities. What began as a curious inquiry into the overlooked peoples of the Delaware River Valley developed into an attentive and thoughtful study of a distinct group of people struggling to remain a cultural community in the face of modern opposition. Originally published in 1943, Delaware's Forgotten Folk endures as one of the fundamental volumes on understanding the life and history of the Nanticoke and Moor peoples.

Book Description
This volume contains those records of Liber A (seventeen pages) not included in the above book, plus all of Liber B. These documents seem to be concentrated for the following periods: 1693-1698 (twenty-three pages), 1783, 1788, 1792, and 1802-1805, plus a scattering of entries of various dates. This is a hodge-podge of records, obviously re-recorded in no real order. Many of the documents of the latter periods are petitions, deeds, mortgages, manumissions, agreements, bonds, and a few certificates attesting to wounds received in the Revolution.
