Notes for Anders Petersson Longacre
Anders father, Peter Anderson arrived at Ft Christina near modern day Wilmington Delaware in 1640 aboard the ship Kalmar Nyckel.
In 1653 Peter, along with Colony Govenor Printz, returned to Sweden aboard a Dutch ship. While in Sweden Peter collected his back pay. He also agreed to return to the Swedish Colony for an advance payment.
Peter, and his new wife, return to the Swedish Colony on the Mercurius which left Sweden in November 1655. They arrived in March 1656 to find the Swedish colony in Dutch hands.
Peter bought land from his friend Peter Rambo in the Kingsessing area, which today is between Woodland Cemetery, St James cemetery and Cobbs Creek.
Anders was born in 1657 in Kingsessing, New Sweden.
In 1681 he married his neighbor Magdelana Cock, the daughter of Peter Larson Cock. They had eleven children, that we know of.
The 34th entry for the church at Wicaco was Anders Pärsson Långåker with seven souls in his household. Långåker meaning long field in Swedish.
Under the influence of the English, the Swedes began to adopt English style surnames beginning in the 1680's.
The church records revel that in 1697 Anders pledged 1.5 pounds for the minister's salary and gave 5 pounds towards building Gloria Dei.
Gloria Dei was dedicated in 1700, Anders and Magdelana were rewarded with a pew in the second row of the second quarter. He was also elected a Vestryman and later a Church Warden.
It is difficult to believe that Anders, or Magdelana, were buried anywhere other than Gloria Dei. In the book Colonial records of the Swedish Churches in Pennsylvania, Vol 3, page 268 Anders is listed as being buried at Gloria Dei.
When Interstate 95 was put in, large portions of the burying ground ended up under the interstate. The Government put Swedish Seals in concrete in the ground to commemorate the burial grounds.

Notes for Anders Petersson & Magdalena (Family)
Magdalena's father arrived in the Swedish colony in 1641.
" Peter Larson Cock was born at Bångsta, Turinge parish, Stockholm Län, in 1610, and adopted the surname of Kock (meaning "cook" in Swedish) in 1641 when, having been sent as an imprisoned soldier to New Sweden, he became the cook on the ship.
--"The 1693 Census of the Swedes on the Delaware River", by Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig, page 28-29.
In 1643 Peter Larson Cock married Margaret Monsdotter Lom.
Of their twelve children, Magdalena was born 1659. We could assume she was born on Peter's island "Kipha" between the Delaware river and the Schuylkill River.
In 1681 she married Anders Peterson Longacre.
The church records revel that in 1697 Anders pledged 1.5 pounds for the minister's salary and gave 5 pounds towards building Gloria Dei.
Gloria Dei was dedicated in 1700, Anders and Magdalena were rewarded with a pew in the second row of the second quarter. He was also elected a Vestryman and later a Church Warden.
It is difficult to believe that Anders, or Magdalena were buried anywhere other than Gloria Dei, the church records from those dates are poor or in Swedish.
