North Brandywine Hundred, Newcastle County, Delaware
27. Claymont Farmhouse (19 Manor Ave.)
This residence, the main structure reportedly constructed around 1760, is said to be the first farmhouse in the Claymont area and was owned by one Joseph GORBY.
The original barn to the property was located where Archmere Academy’s gymnasium now stands. The lane to the property, from Philadelphia Pike, became Manor Ave. Casey Lane, in front of the property, was named for George Miller Casey a descendent of the original owner.

The Combs / McComb and McCutcheon families of Brandywine Hundred may have been connected to the Adair family in Scotland / Ireland.
