[214] So appointed by Governor Andros in 1676.
[215] Turtle Creek, now Shelpot Creek. At its falls the Swedes had built a mill in 1662.
[216] The creek mentioned was Brandywine Creek. Fort Christina stood on a part of the present site of Wilmington, Delaware. For the Dutch conquest of it in 1655, see Narratives of New Netherland, in this series, pp. 379-386, and Narratives of Early Pennsylvania, pp. 167-176.
[217] Fort Christina stood on the north side of Christina Creek. Stuyvesant's main battery was erected behind the fort, on the land or north side of it, but he also had works on the opposite or south side of Christina Creek. Lindström's original plan of the siege may be seen reproduced in Dr. Amandus Johnson's The Swedish Settlements on the Delaware, II. 602.
[218] Jean Paul Jaquet was vice-director on the Delaware during the initial period of Dutch control, 1655-1657.
[219] Anna Margareta, eldest of the three daughters of Augustine Herrman of Bohemia Manor. She afterward married Matthias Vanderheyden.
[220] Presiding justice of the court at Newcastle. See post, p. [144].
[221] This Newcastle sketch seems not to have survived.
[222] Appoquinimink Creek, in the lower part of Newcastle County, Delaware.
[223] Kasparus Herrman, second son of Augustine Herrman of Bohemia Manor. Andros in 1676 had confirmed him in the possession of lands on the northeast side of Augustine Creek in Delaware, a part of St. Augustine Manor (see note 2 on page [112]), and here we may assume that he was living, near Reedy Isle.
