Doe therefore humbly Request this worpp".

The Court answer that they will send the Peticon's Pe- tition to his hono", the governo, and withall moove and In- treat the governo". In their behalfe.
A Copy of his Hono, the Governo's Letter to this Court, viz :
GENTLEM :
I: haue writt to ye Comander and this is to acquaint you also yt haueing his Roy" highnesse Leaue for my owne oc- casions this winter so as to Returne in the Spring all things being all well trough the Governm! I intend God willing going home in a ship bound here for London Leauing all things to Remaine in all partes of the governmt as now
1 It does not appear that this application for a grant below the Trenton falls was ever conceded, or the settlement made. As the Indian title to the land immediately below the falls at Trenton had not then been extin- guished, Andross was not willing the ground should be occupied, and for this reason the petition may have been rejected.

1 Hereditary surnames are said to have been unknown in Sweden before the 14th century (Lower's English surnames, 7). A much later date must be assigned as the period when they became permanent, for surnames were not in every case established among the Swedes in Pennsylvania, until some time after the arrival of Penn, when intermarriage and the more rigid usage of the English, compelled them to adhere to the last combina- tion; as for example with respect to the name of Olle Paul-son, the " son " became permanently affixed to the name, and ceased to distinguish the degree of relationship. No little confusion, as an examination of early deeds will prove, has also arisen from the transposition of names. For in- stance, Eric Goranson, is Eric the son of Goran, and Goran Erickson is Goran the son of Eric (Watson's Ann., ii., 232). Peter Petersen is Peter the son of Peter, and Swensen was originally Swen. Nilson or Neelsen may be found transposed to Jones, as in the case of the sons of Jonas

Nilson, who are styled Mouns, Andrew and Neils Jones. Patent Bk A., 696, Phil. Sometimes an alias lends its aid to puzzle the enquirer, as in the case of "Peter Matson, alias Dalboo," "Peter Lykell alias Nealson." Deed Bk E., 4, 339. Will Bk A., 352, Phil. The names of Jans Jus- tassen (alias Illack), and Pelle Laersen (alias Put pelle), in a subsequent part of this record, may also be instanced. The different modes in which the same name is spelt, sometimes occurring in the christian, sometimes in the surname, is another, source of confusion, examples of which may be found upon almost every page of this Record.
The orthography of many of the names in the above list of " Tithe- ables," has in the course of time been materially changed. Benckes or Bengsten, is now Bankson ; Boen, has become Boon or Bond; Swen or Sven, Swanson ; Cock, Cox; Jookum, Yocum; Kien or Kyn, Keen (Clay's Annals of the Swedes, 169) ; Mortense, Morton. Laurens or Lasse Cock, son of Oele Cock, was afterwards called Oelsen, which name was retained by his descendants, some of whom named Allison now or recently held property derived from their ancestor Oele Cock.
1 John Stille was born near Tinicum, in the year 1646, and died on the 24th April, 1722, and was buried in the church-yard of the Swedes Church at Wicacoa, where his tomb-stone still remains. He was one of the origi- nal trustees of that Church, and the pastor in recording his death, adds : " He lived a godly life in this world." His father, Olof Stille, was doubt- less one of the original Swedish colonists, as his passport or certificate of character bears date December 2, 1634. Olof Stillé came from the lord-

ship of Penningby and Nyanes, in the duchy of Lodermania, about 30 miles south of Stockholm, then in possession of the noble family of Bielke. He resided below Tinicum, on a tract of land marked in Lindstrom's map " Stille's land," and called by the Indians " Techorassi," or Tequirasi, and seems to have been one of the principal men of the colony, as we find him deputed by Governor Printz as the bearer of the official protest made by the Swedes to the Dutch Director, against the encroachments of the West India Company on the rights of the Swedish Crown on the Delaware. In 1658, after the Dutch took possession of the country, he was one of four commissa- rics or magistrates appointed to administer justice among the inhabitants, and thus became a judge of the first Court of which history gives us infor- mation, among the Europeans on the banks of the Delaware. He was also employed in various negotiations with the neighboring colonists and with the Indians, by whom he was styled " the man with the black beard." He died about the year 1666. He was the ancestor of the present Stille family.

N. Y. His. Soc. (1811), i. 360. The forfeiture of land under this provision, and in some cases the desire to escape a forfeiture, will account for the instances of fresh grants to other parties for the same tract, and for the many con- firmatory patents which were issued.

It was erected by Governor Printz in 1643, and was the first water-mill built within the ter- ritory now embraced within the limits of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Printz, in his Report to the West India Company, Feb. 20, 1647, says . .. " this place I have called Mondal, building there a water mill, working it the whole year along, to great advantage for the country, particularly as the windmill formerly here before I came, would never work and was good for nothing" (Swedish MSS. Archives, Hist. Soc. Penn.). The site is well known, and is upon the road to Darby, the oldest highway in Pennsylvania, and the holes sunk into the rock in which the posts which supported the frame-work of the mill were placed, are still to be seen near the Blue Bell tavern.
