- ↑ This is unclear. Delaware was not an independant entity until the time of the Revolution. The area was under the administration of Pennsylvania and Maryland, though it had a great deal of autonomy. The original settlers were the Swedes and the Dutch. John could have been of their number, but then would have been a settler of either New Sweden or New Netherlands.
