"Notice from his time line and the death of his father Stephen Parr, Sr in Newark, New Castle County, Delaware,
that he was not related to the Parr family of Maryland.
The Maryland connection was only speculation published in two earlier books, which has proven to be an error."

"You wondered about the time line I have produced for Stephen
as you can see the only major time gap is between 1754-1762.
I actually feel that he may have died close to 100 years (1826)
rather than his last documents in 1815, but no proof."
"You will also see that I have been able to trace his wife Mary Davis family.
Her father was the Rev David Davis of the Welsh Tract Meeting House in Newark,New Castle
the family is identified in the 1793 Law suit over the land in W VA.
there is no proof for a son John Parr b:1754; he had a brother John Parr b:1730
whereabouts unknown, I suspect he moved with the migration south to Carolina or VA."
"I Hope this meets with your approval, please let me know.
I've spent 25 years researching Stephen Parr, and only recently
corrected a typo in the book as to his land purchase in New Castle, DE.
from his father in law Rev David Davis & wife Rachel
in the book it listed the indenture from David Jones & wife Rachel
which set back my research for a number of years."

Delaware was the first state to ratify the United States Constitution.
Éleuthère Irénée du Pont arrived in America from France in 1800 and founded the young United States' largest gunpowder factory on the banks of the Brandywine River just north of Wilmington in 1804. His DuPont firm (now the world's fourth largest chemical company) was the U.S. military's largest supplier of gunpowder by the beginning of the Civil War, and his descendants, the du Pont family, are now one of the richest and most successful families in the country.
The oldest African American church in the country was chartered in Delaware by former slave Peter Spencer in 1813 as the "Union Church of Africans", which is now the A.U.M.P. Church. The Big August Quarterly which began in 1814 is still celebrated and is the oldest such cultural festival in the country.
The construction of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal between 1802 and 1829 brought significant shipping interests to Delaware, expanding the state's commercial opportunities.
