Henry Z Jones, Jr. in his book The Palatine Families of New York publishes 1985 writes on page 1117
"Francis (HJ) also given Delaware land in 1716"
Francis received land 200a July 8, 1716 warrant V1 #12 DE Archives
An indenture dated 26 March 1730 between Peter Vorshall of Kent Co., Delaware - eldest brother of the late Francis Vorshall of the same place, and Obediah Vorshall - next youngest brother of the said Francis - is found in Salt Lake City Film #006452, Bk K, p. 21.
The document written in the old style language and script mentions Peter Vowshall of Kent Co the oldest brother of Francis Vowshall late of same county and Obediah Vowshall planter most younger brother. The property of 200 acres is being sold to a Hugh Durborow for the sum of 20 shillings. The original property was acquired by a grant by Philadelphia on the 8 day of the seventh month 1716. There is a great description of the actual degrees and markers.
It looks like there was a widow involved in the transaction named Katherine Vowshall. [If there was no issue, did the court automatically divide the inheritance to the widow 1/3 and then to siblings of the deceased? Or, is this the mother Catharina, widow of Augustine, and the son's lands reverted to the mother and brothers? The date seems more likely to indicate this is the widow of Francis] There is a David Rees the brother's trusty friend mentioned in the final proceedings.
1729, Oct 10 Survey plans at DE Archives V2 #19 79a of the property warranted at Philadelphia 4/8/1716 for Francis Voshol decd. without issue laid out for oldest brother Peter and next younger Obadiah Voshol track called "Freelands Fancy" situated in the North West part of Motherkil (sic) HD. Mentions a swamp area, into the main or mid branch of the Dover River near the Horse Head 200 acres and signed by Hugh Durborow sur. of Kent.
