EARLY HISTORY OF STATE
Some Records of the Early His
tory of Delaware Found Miss
ing i'm Historical Society

In a report that DR.. Walter
Hullihen, president of the Univers-
ity of Delaware has Just made to
the Board of Trustees of that in
stitution relative to research work
it is revealed that a nation wide
search is being made for some i'm
portant records on the early his
tory of Delaware. Some time ago
the Historical Society of Delaware
appointed Christopher L. Ward,
Judge Richard S. Rodney and Pro-
fessor George H. Ryden, head of
the department of history of the
University as editor, to prepare
and publish the letters Of Caesar
Rodney, one of the Delaware sign
ers of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. It was in connection
with this work that Prof. Ryden
learned that many important CO.
lonial and revolutionary period
records We're missing. When Prof
Ryden first started his work he
found that all of the records of
the House of Assembly of Della
ware from 1904 to 1776 were miss
ing. The loss of such a large
group of papers is explained in
the fact that when Wilmington
was occupied by the British fore
es in 1777, following the Battle of
the Brandywine, certain boxes of
state papers and records were TAX
en- by the British commander from
a boat where they had been placed
temporarily for safety, to Phila-
delphia and it is not known what
then became of them. However,
Prof. Ryden and others have been
able to find the records for eleven
of these years IN various places
such as the state archives, the
Library of Congress, New York
Public Library and among the
papers of individuals. The search
is being continued for the remain
der of the missing records. In ad-
dition there is also missing some
of the records of the sessions of
the lower house of the Delaware
Legislature between the years
1776 and 1892 which an effort is
being made to find.
