特拉华州格林伍德附近发现至少3人遗骸:州历史文化事务厅寻访后人、安葬年代或在1780年至1900年间

特拉华州苏塞克斯县格林伍德市附近,特拉华州历史与文化事务厅10月31日发出寻访公告,寻找9月16日在格林伍德附近发现的人类遗骸的可能后人。
这批遗骸是在格林伍德以西、亚当斯维尔附近希克曼路一处私人地产开挖游泳池时发现的。官方确认,遗骸至少属于3人,分别为一名成年男性、一名成年女性和一名儿童,但他们的年龄和族裔尚不确定。研究仍在进行中,初步判断安葬年代可能在1780年至1900年之间。
据历史与文化事务厅介绍,大约在1836年,罗杰·亚当斯从约翰·布洛克手中购得这处地产,布洛克是从其父亲理查德·布洛克处继承的地产;亚当斯家族后人持有该地产至1913年。目前尚不清楚此前的地产主人中是否有人安葬于此。
历史与文化事务厅请曾在该地产生活过的人的后人,或有证据证明亲属安葬于此的人,在12月11日之前与该厅联系,电话为302-736-7400,地址为多佛市北州街29号。
Delaware Seeks Descendants After Remains of at Least Three People Found Near Greenwood
Near Greenwood, Sussex County, Delaware, the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs issued a notice on October 31 seeking possible descendants of the people whose skeletal remains were found near Greenwood on September 16.
The remains were discovered during excavation for a swimming pool on private property on Hickman Road near Adamsville, west of Greenwood. Officials determined the remains belonged to at least three people — an adult male, an adult female and a child — though their ages and ethnicities are uncertain. Research is ongoing, but the burials likely date to between 1780 and 1900.
According to the division, around 1836 Roger Adams acquired the property from John Bullock, who had inherited it from his father, Richard Bullock; Adams family descendants owned the land until 1913. It is unclear whether any of the prior owners were buried there.
Descendants of people who lived on the property, or anyone with evidence that relatives were buried there, are asked to contact the division at 302-736-7400 or at 29 N. State St. in Dover by December 11.
