Tully's Neck. Where is it? My family lived in Maryland and Kent County, Delaware. Their land records in Queen Anne's County refer to Tully's Neck. They helped found St. Andrew's in Sudlersville, which is also in Tully's Neck. I live in MA where a neck is a small peninsula. Is a neck different in Delmarva? I thought someone might know.

Well I might make a trip down as my relatives from Kent and Queen Anne's eventually traveled to Kent County DE

Interesting. I grew up in Sudlersville but never heard it called Tully’s Neck.

Is William Houston Hindsley b. 1862 in Delaware one of your ancestors?

I find mention of Tully’s/Tullies Neck in Queen Anne’s County, MD in the Maryland archives online from 1732-33, when the residents of the area, specifically Tockahoes Neck wanted the government to have a bridge built over the beaver dams from Tullies Neck to Choptank Neck or the upper part of Tockahoe Neck. Found using a google search.

Please give timeframes and what part of Delaware born in.

Where in DE was he born?

what is the first census you have him on what areas have you found him and what years

do you have any kids for them

Book, found a Purnsley family in chester, Delaware county on 1880 census, mother is Rachel born about 1806, I would look into that family and see what you can find about them, might find something on Charlotte through siblings. Also, look for another name other than Charlotte

there is a Henry Norris died 8 Sep 1911 Chester County, Informant William Norris, DOB 25 nov 1846, born Delaware parents unknown first name is transcribed as Ninis, so name is Ninis Henery Norris

1880 Charlotte is dead, he is in East Marlborough, Chester with his sons
