General Notes: Husband - George Lamberton

---

The first Swedish settlements on the Delaware River were made about 1638 near the present site of Wilmington, Delaware. It was called "New Sweden" with John Printz as Governor. In the spring of 1641, George Lamberton, a merchant of New Haven, Connecticut, sent a party under Robert Cogswell to buy property and form two settlements, one on the Schuylkill River, and the other near where Salem now stands. After many difficulties with the Swedes, Lamberton was finally commissioned by Governor Winthrop to treat with Printz touching the rights of each; matters were finally settled amicably. Savage says of him "George Lamberton, New Haven, 1641, probably merchant from London, was one of the chief inhabitants employed, 1643, in projecting a settlement at Delaware, but (was) resisted by Swedes who vindicated their rights."
