Subject: [DELAWARE] SYLVESTER DEPUTY descendants
Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2001 14:24:54 -0600

I would like to contact any one who is researching the descendants
of Sylvester Deputy who received a warrant from William Penn of 350
acres of land in Milford District, Cedar Creek Hundred, April 8 1741. I
have much information on this family but need to know what church they
were affiliated with and where early family was buried.
Would also like to know the original surname; was it perhaps
DePuy? It is my understanding that the family were French Hugenots who
fled to Wales to avoid religious persecution and there changed the name
to Depaty, then changed spelling to Deputy when they arrived in America
about 1650.
Thanks for any help.
Gwen
