From: "Original Settlements on the Delaware" by Benjamin Ferris:
"The following is a "List of the Swedish families residing in New
Sweden
In 1693, with the number of individuals in each family". Some of the
names are evidently Dutch (and Finnish), as Van der Weer, Starke and
Meyer. These were probably reckoned as Swedes on account of their
descent from them on the female side, and from having adopted the
language and customs of that people. The list is dated 1693. It was
probably made out in the spring of that year, and sent to Sweden with
the interesting letter written by Charles Springer, and signed by thirty
of the principal men in the colony, giving an account of their situation
and soliciting the means of religious instruction. That letter was
dated the 31st of May, 1693."
