FORT CUMBERLAND, March 1, 1757.
SIR :- Pursuant to an order from Governor Dinwiddie, I have sent down William Ross and two sons, Trotter & Slater who resided at this Garrison ever since the Fort was built-They have behaved honestly as far as I know, & have been very serviceable to the Garrison, Slater a Butcher & salter, Trotter as Guide & Labourer. William Ross and sons have resided here, ever Since plummer Left old tow [torn] have observed the Rules of the Garrison, and has lived upon his stock of Cattle having Supplyd us w' Butter & other little things which you know to be very necessary & agreeable at Such a distance from the Inhabitants.
Upon a Complaint from Colo. Cressop Sometime ago I had an En- quiry made by the officer of this garrison, into the reason of said Complaint. Ross can let you see the proceedings. He brought up two steers of Cressop's which he could not Easily separate from his own Cattle, but immediately informed me of it, and in Cosequence of a letter from Cressop I had them killed for the use of the garrison; and orderd the Commissary to send Cressop an act. of them & several others killed for the same purpose.
The old man brought up some Sheep of Plummer's which he said he did out of friendship to him; and informed the officer of it, saying plummer told him he should have Payment for them when he came up again but William Ross seeing that the place was a thorough fare for country people and Indians as they went up & down, thought he did a kindness to Mr. Plummer, & meant to oblige him by bringing up the sheep with some others which he drove to this Fort, and intended to Acct with him for them.
I inform'd him of my orders to send him down & the old-fellow never thought of moving out of the way and I had none of them Con- fined before the party came on.
It seems to me to be owing to an Old grudge between Ross & Cressop; and as you will have his sons in pledge espically I shall take it as a favour that you let him go About to do his Business, & make Friends. If I imagin'd that he would, or had reason to Attempt as Escape, be assurd I would never request the favour. I am obliged to you for the news p [torn] Indians were down on the Bran [torn] young men, burnt two plantations.
We are big with hopes [torn] the governors. I offer my [torn] Dagworthy and am

The lighthouse at Cape Henlopen is supposed to have been erected in 1725. The Hon. John Penn, November, 1763, had two hundred acres of land, or sand, surveyed and set aside for the benefit of the lighthouse. The lantern or top is said to have been burned by the British during the Revolution.
On the twenty-eighth of July, 1774, Thomas Mckean, afterwards signer of the Declaration of Independence, made an address in Lewes, urging the people to make common cause with the Boston people in their stand against the imposition of unjust taxation.
This was after the Boston people had thrown the tea over- board.
In 1779-80 when the British frigate Roebuck was lying in the Bay, a number of men were sent ashore to obtain supplies. They seized Thomas Fisher, a boy of 17, on his father's farm near Lewes, and carried him and a negro slave back to the Roebuck, sending word to the parents that Thomas and the negro could be ransomed for one hundred bullocks. The terms were hastily complied with and Thomas was released.
Jerome Bonaparte was a guest in the old Peter Maull house. He had been recalled to France by his brother, Napoleon.
On account of the British blockading the Bay the French vessel could not leave. In the meantime a furious storm drove the ship ashore on the point of the Cape. Jerome with others escaped drowning and he was cared for at the Peter Maull house.

January 8th, 1741. "Our river has been fast some time, and we heard from Lewes that 'tis all ice towards the sea as far as the eye can reach."
"At this early period of time (1733), so much had the little Lewistown at our southern cape the pre-eminence in female tuition, that Thomas Lloyd, the deputy governor, preferred to send his younger daughters from Philadelphia to that place to finish their education." (Watson's Annals).
Joshua Fisher, of Lewistown, afterwards of Philadelphia, merchant, first tried the quadrant in the bay of Delaware.

CAPTAIN DREW AND THE DE BRAAK.
James Drew was commissioned lieutenant in the Royal Navy, July 29th, 1775; master and commander, December 1st, 1787, and took rank as post-captain in 1790.
He commanded in order, the Echo, Fly, and De Braak, sloops-of-war.
The De Braak was a Dutch national ship detained at Falmouth by the Fortune (F. Wooldridge), August 20th, 1795.
The De Braak was commissioned, 1798, under the com- mand of Captain James Drew, and attached to the fleet "off the Western Islands."
The following report was received in London, July, 1798 :--
"Philadelphia, May 31, 1798-His Brittanic Majesty's sloop-of-war De Braak, Captain Drew, was overset in Old Kiln Roads about 4 O'clock last Friday afternoon. She was at the time under mainsail and reefed topsail, just about to cast anchor, a mile from the light- house, her boat alongside, waiting for the Captain, who intended to go on shore at Lewes Town; a sudden slew of wind laid her on her beam ends; she immediately filled and went down, with Captain Drew, his Lieutenant, and thirty-eight officers, seamen, and marines.
"The rest of the ship's company, about twenty-five, including the boatswain, escaped in the boats, and several were taken up by a pilot-boat.
" The De Braak parted with the fleet off the Western Islands in chase of a strange sail and was unable to join the convoy.

"About twenty-five days ago she fell in with and captured a Spanish ship from La Plata, bound to Spain, with a very valuable cargo, consisting of 200 tons of copper, a quantity of cocoa, &c. The prize is arrived in the Delaware. Twelve of the prisoners were lost in the sloop-of-war. The surviving Spanish prisoners have been brought to Philadelphia and given to the agents of Spain.
"The crew of the De Braak consisted of eighty-three persons in all, about half of whom were saved, including those who were in the prize.
"The officers left alive are the boatswain, a midshipman, and the prize-master.
"This melancholy accident is heightened by the Captain's lady being so near as New York, where she was every hour in anxious ex- pectation of meeting him. The prize lies at the fort."
When the De Braak sunk three Spanish prisoners took the Captain's trunk and used it as a raft to get ashore.
Randolph McCracken, great grandson of Gilbert McCracken, pilot on the De Braak, let the present rector have the trunk. It is in the Sunday-school room of St. Peter's church.
