Sussex County Delaware ~ Levy Court and Treasurers
Levy Court
The account of the organization of the
Levy Court will be found in the Civil List of New Castle under
the head of the Levy Court. The act of June 14, 1793, provided
for the election of commissioners to compose the Levy Court as
at present and designated. Ten for Sussex, one for each Hundred.
The early records, from the organization
until 1798, are not found. A list of commissioners in that year,
and also in 1809, are given, and from that time continuously as
elected, the term extending three years.
