Guess who else lived in DE in the New Castle Hundred. Have a look:
“Nearer New Castle, and on the Delaware, a large tract of land was disposed of by a Dutch patent as follows: “Alexander D. Hiniyossa, in behalf of the Right Lord Burgomaster of the city of Amsterdam, Gov. of Del. River, together with the Council, &c., grant unto Garrett Von Sweringer a piece of land consisting of meadow, valley and woodland, lying and being on the other side of the first Marsh, on the south of this fort of New Amstel, consisting in breadth along the Strand 1600 rods, and in length stretching S.E. & N.W. 2000 rods, upon condition to improve, fence, &c., and hold fealty to Lord Burgomaster of Amsterdam.” “Signed by Hiniyossa at the forte Nieu Amstell, 3rd July, 1664.”
