In 1651 when the Dutch built Fort Casimir at present New Castle, Delaware, he and a number of other New Sweden settlers to move across the Christina River and live under the Dutch. They built a community of log cabins north of the fort at Swan Cove (Swanwick) where he remained for the rest of his life.

The name Thorsson was not a surname, but rather Olof's patronymic, meaning that he was Olof, son of Thor. However, in succeeding generations it became the family surname (spelled Toarson, or variants thereof), later evolving into Tossa, Tossava and finally Tussey ). He immigrated in 1641 to DE; Was sentenced for a minor crime and ordered to go to New Swenden. Transported on the ship Kalmar Nyckel with his family in 1641, was the progenitor of all known Tussey families in America in the 18th century.

After a prolonged illness, Carr died in 1676 and Petronella remarried George Oldfield, also English.

(Note: Timen Stiddem of Gothenburg, a barber-surgeon for New Sweden, apparently crossed the ocean seven times before he finally settled in America. Based on a 1651 letter that he wrote to Oxenstierna, he was one of two barber-surgeons on the Kalmar Nyckel on its first voyage in 1637-38. He remained with the ship and, after its second voyage to the new world, Timen became the resident barber-surgeon from 1640 to 1644. Returning to Sweden, Stiddem married and departed again for New Sweden on the Kattan in 1649 with his wife and two small children. A third child was born at sea.

Unfortunately, the Kattan ran aground at Puerto Rico and Timen's wife and three children perished as prisoners of the Spanish. Timen Stiddem miraculously escaped and made his way back to Sweden by 1651. Marrying again, he sailed for a fourth time to New Sweden with Governor Rising in 1654. This time he stayed.

Initially Timen Stiddem settled at Fort Trinity (New Castle), but after the surrender of New Sweden to the Dutch in 1655, he moved to Christina (Wilmington) where he led an active life until his death in 1686. Being the very first physician in Delaware (Ref: J. Thomas Scharf, History of Delaware, p. 471), he periodically had to travel by canoe as far as Upland (Chester) to serve his patients.

His home stood near the "Rocks" where the Swedish ship Kalmar Nyckel landed in 1638.

The Timen Stiddem Society web site (http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~tstiddem/index.html)has much detail on his life and his many decedents ). He was also known as Dr. Timon STIDHAM.
