This record shows that Anders and his wife Maria spoke Swedish. He was age 44 and a farmer and she 40. Children Elizabeth & Jacob spoke both Swedish and English. Children Rebeccah, Petrus, and Johan spoke English.
*****
Andrew married Catherina Stalcop December 21 1738 in Old Swedes Church in Wilmington, New Castle, Delaware according to Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig.
There were several women named Christina/Catherine/Catherina Stalcop in this area with similar dates that makes it very confusing to sort it out.
