🕯️ SOMEONE'S FAMILY IS BURIED NEAR GREENWOOD — AND THE STATE IS LOOKING FOR THEM

🕯️ SOMEONE'S FAMILY IS BURIED NEAR GREENWOOD — AND THE STATE IS LOOKING FOR THEM

Delaware's Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs is asking for help. Construction on private land on Hickman Road, near Adamsville, west of Greenwood in Kent County, uncovered unmarked burials — at least three people: likely an adult man, an adult woman and a child, buried sometime between 1780 and 1900.

State research traces the land to the Adams family, who owned it from about 1836 to 1913. Whether any of the owners were buried there is unknown.

If these may be your relatives — or you know of an unmarked family cemetery on that property — contact the Director, Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs, 29 North State Street, Dover, DE 19901-3611, or call 302-736-7400 weekdays, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., by December 11, 2026.

Please share this. The family these remains belong to may not know to look.
