About Peter Stalcop
From "The Crane Hook Congregation":
- Peter Stalcop (Red Clay Creek, Christiana hundred, £100), born c. 1664, married Catharina Samuelsdotter and settled on the east side of Red Clay Creek in partnership with his brother-in-law John Hans Steelman. Their initial holding was later expanded by the purchase of 390 acres from John Andersson Cock (#119) and their inheritance from John Andersson Stalcop. A faithful member of Holy Trinity Church, Peter Stalcop died between 3 September 1709, when his will was signed, and 16 May 1710, when it was proved. He was survived by six known children: Christina (born 19 Apr. 1686), Brita (c. 1688), John (1692), Maria (1696), Anders (c. 1700) and Margareta (c. 1703). Peter's widow married Lucas Stedham by 1712 and was still a communicant at Holy Trinity in 1731.
