GREATER DOVER AREA DEATH RECORDS

 

 

Posted here from a Xerox copy donated by Karen Mosley(West Rd., Cheswold, DE, Nov 1997).  This information had previously been carefully gathered and typed by Rose Marie Ridgeway, Lorraine Johnson-Gregg (LG) and Elaine Cuff of the Bridgeton, NJ area, all of whom were well acquainted with the Dover-area Moor or Native American community. The record keeper does not wish to be identified.

The researcher should always look at the original record(s). Lorraine says, "We had a terrible time trying to decipher the spelling and probably already have some misinterpretations."
