!Source: "1693 Census of Swedes on the Delaware" by Peter Stebbins Craig, J.D., p.44.
The 1693 Census of the Swedes on Delaware by Peter Stebbins Craig on page 44 states:
"John Svensson Skute (Nitapkung, Blockley tp., £120): Born 4 September 1654 at Fort Trinity (New Castle), where his parents Captain Sven Skute and Anna Johansdotter were then stationed, John Skute went up-river with his parents after the surrender of New Sweden to the Dutch. With John Bowles (#36) he obtained 400 acres on the Schuylkill above Aronameck †† in 1680 and made this his home until his death in 1722. His wife Armegot, born 1664, was the daughter of Mårten Garretsson and Christina Lom of the Christina River in New Castle County. After her father drowned in 1680, she and her younger brothers, Garret and Mårten Mårtensson (later Garrett), moved to the Philadelphia area to live with their Lom relatives. As of 1693 there were two Skute children: Christina (born 4 Sept. 1687) and Sven (10 Jan. 1692). Armegot, also known as Alumkie, was 91 years old when she died 22 March 1755."
†† "On May 14, 1669, Hans Månsson was granted an English patent for his Aronameck plantation††, over 1100 acres, extending from the Schuylkill River to Cobbs Creek in Kingsessing."
"Many of the colony’s freedmen lived in Kingsessing, which today has maintained its name and a similar location along the southwest bank of the Schuylkill River. The settlement’s Swedish and Finnish colonists coexisted and traded with the Armewamese Lenape, who lived east of Kingsessing across the Schuylkill in Passyunk. Directly above Kingsessing was a roughly 1100-acre tract of land named “Aronameck,” very similar to the southern Unami word for “the greater stream.” Aronameck was settled by Peter Jochimson in 1648, and 102 acres of the property were eventually purchased by John Bartram in 1728. Today, this property is Bartram’s Garden" ~• from: http://www.gffgardens.net/index-187.html
