Excerpt from Genealogy of the the Hickman Family: Beginning With Roger Hickman of Kent County, Delaware The writer's only object at the time of writ ing this book was to give to his people a true, correct and impartial record of all relatives of the Hickman Family, and of all others coming into lineage by marriage, and to give to all such persons the opportunity of availing them selves of the information here given if required for record purposes of their own. And, as he has gone to some expense, and devoted consid crable time to preparing this record for future reference, he makes a special request that the relatives take interest enough in the book to preserve it for the use of coming generations.

This volume continues to focus on families living in Kent County and Sussex County, tracing lineages of early settlers into the early 1800s. The primary sources of information are court records (probate and orphans' court), land records, and church records. Many of the early settlers in these counties were Quakers. Chapters are included for descendants of the following families: Thomas Anderson, Ashford, Baucomb, Blacksheare, Bowers, Owen Cain, Francis Cain, Caton, John Clark, Maschal Clark, William Clark, William Clark (brickmaker), Daniel Corbit, Mathew Corbet, Craig/Crage of Kent County (Delaware), Edward Craig, Crippen, Cuff, Jacob Emerson/Emmerson, Vincent Emerson, Adam Fisher, John Fisher of Sussex County, William Fisher of Sussex County, Fitzjarrell/Fitzgerald, Fleetwood, Fleming, Moses Freeman, Samuel Freeman, William Freeman, Futcher/Footcher, James Gordon, John Gordon, George Green, William Green, Hart, Kollock, Marim, Molleston, Paynter, (N) Paynter (sons Rees, Richard and Samuel), Parker, John Robinson/Robison, George Robbison, William Robinson, Samuel Rowland, Thomas Rowland, Sap, Standly, Stanton, Steel, Tarrant, Tilton, John Tomlin, Nathaniel Tomlin, Townsend, Train, Tybout, Vanderford, Vanwinckle, Waples, James Wells, Richard Wells, West, James Williams, John Williams, Reynear Williams, Thomas Williams, John Willson, Winsmore, Worral, John Wright, Jonathan Wright, and Wynne. A list of sources, additions and corrections to the first volume, and an index to full-names and places add to the value of this work.
Land records are a rich mine of genealogical information. This volume continues the series, which consists primarily of deeds, but these early land records served as a "catch-all" for recordation of events, so a variety of documents are abstracted here such as powers of attorney, patents, articles of agreement, acknowledgement of receipt of estate portion, deeds of gift to family members, contracts, and quit claims. A few surprising items appear including some marriage records and births. Every name and relationship is abstracted.

Kent County, originally a part of Whorekill District (created in 1664), became an independent territory under the name of St. Jones County in 1680. In circa 1682 the name was changed to Kent County. Subsequent to 1674, settlers (principally from Maryland) began to take up land in this area.
