Married:
They were married at Holy Trinity (Old Swede's) Church in what is now Wilmington, Delaware. Additional church records place them in this area of Delaware through 1724.

Ft. Christina, the oldest European settlement in the Delaware River valley, was founded by the Swedes under Peter Minuit in 1638. It was captured by the Dutch under Peter Stuyvesant in 1655 and renamed Altena. The British captured it from the Dutch in 1664, and it was eventually renamed Wilmington by Quaker settlers.

After leaving Delaware, William and Magdalene made their way into the Blue Ridge Mountain area of Virginia.
