This unmodifiable, read-only package is 27 pages long and represents everything that Peter Craig was able to discover about the Colonial Descendants of William and Mary Hedges. The author [Craig] can report, that much of what has been published about the Hedges family in New Castle County is erroneous. They were unrelated to the descendants of Samuel Hedge who resided across the river in Salem County or William Hedge and his sister Dorcas Cox who migrated from New England to Salem County NJ in the 1690s.

This white paper covers three generations starting with William and Mary Hedges through Charles Hedges (1673-1743) and William Hedges (1705-1742).
