Notes for PEREGRINE HANDSOR, JR.:
Biographical Directory of Kent Co., DE:
Peregrine Handsor, Jr. (1822 - ) of Appoquinimink Hundred was born about 1822, married Sarah Sammons, daughter of Benjamin, and moved to Canada. The 1850 United States census lists children Sarah, Prudence, Henry and Nancy. There were ten children in all, born both in the United States and in Canada. A son, William, lived in Wallaceburg, Ontario, in later years.

12. PRUDENCE3 SAMMONS (BENJAMIN2, JOHN1) (Source: 1850 census.) was born 1828 in Delaware (Source: 1850 census.), and died 1900 (Source: Mitsawokett website. Manship Cemetery stone.). She married EDWARD CONSEDAR (Source: 1850 census.). He was born 1824 in Delaware (Source: 1850 census. 1880 census gives age as 54.), and died 08 May 1881 (Source: Mitsawokett website. Manship Cemetery stone. Age 58.).

Next door to James Durham.

Concealor Edward 54 farmer, Prudence wife 53 keeping house, John son 19 single work on farm, Eugene son 16 work on farm, Annie dau 10, Morris Concealor adopted boy 6
Note: the implication is that the adopted boy is named Concealor Morris, not the reverse. The ages are not accurate compared to earlier years, with 1870 seeming to create the confusion. Comparing 1880 and 1870, Eugene versus Mary or maybe Elydia is a mystery. There is a Eugene buried at Manship with dates 1865-1889, but where was he in 1870?
