Seeking information on Passwater/Paswater in Colonial Sussex County Delaware

William Farrell_1

Hello,

I'm trying locate more details on the Richard Passwater/Paswater family in Sussex County. It appears he died in 1795, based on a probate record which does not list family members, but does list a son, Issac, as an co-executor. Richard was married to a Mary Coverdale and they had at least four children - Issac, William, Purnell and Peter J. I believe they were farmers. Richard and Mary would be my 5th maternal gr-grandparents. Are there any publications that might publish a biography or profile of Richard or others from this family?

Thanks for your help and advice

How do I find an ancestor's Discovery Page from the Family Search homepage?

I couldn't find a direct link from the FS homepage. In the search (? with circle around it) I found the Blog Page. Scroll down a bit and you will see "Find Your Ancestor's Discovery Page." Click on that and it will give you the option to do a Surname search.
