... that The Faulkland Quiz was founded, edited and published by an 18 year old? Source: Mill Creek Hundred History Blog ("One of the younger members of the lyceum was an ambitious teenager named John T. Mullins ... one of his first ventures was a small, self-printed newspaper called the Faulkland Quiz ... the 18 year old Mullins began printing the rural paper.") -- yes, I know, its a blog. But, I believe the author of the blog, Scott Palmer, can be considered a "subject-matter expert," as he's been quoted in The News Journal in DE history articles, quoted on the New Castle County website on Delaware history, and has been asked multiple times to talk about Delaware history on the WDEL radio.
