I, too, suspect. There was a major rift in the family because of how this all played out.

A. J. Morris is A. S. Morris's son.

Richard was obviously on to something based on the size of the bogs that are in that vicinity. I had no idea where it was located.

It is. He was Richard's brother-in-law and operated the grist mill in Pemberton. The two end up at odds with each other when all is said and done.

It's possible a few were built, as it sounds like Richard had sold a few shares before he lost control of the property.

Guy, this is also in my file - see the following. This is likely how Upton came into possession of the Buffin/Baffin location. A. S. Morris was the trustee for a mortgage on Richard's lands, which, after the end of the Civil War, went into bankruptcy.

Attached is the prospectus from, i'm guessing, 1866. I don't think it is the White property, as the Whites were related to the Jones family, which is how they got the property. Fenwick was the nephew of Benjamin and a cousin of Richard and Samuel's. Benjamin or R&SH Jones sold Fenwick those...

Interesting. Thank you Guy. I have a prospectus for this company from the early 1860s. Looking at your map, I see Baffin Brook. It my have originally been called Baffins Meadow, as the handwriting may be interpreted as either an a or a u. I'm intersted in anything you may dig up.

Does anyone have any information regarding Buffins Meadow, Cranberry and Land Improvement Company? Thanks, Tom

That was a nice presentation.

Hi everyone, I have started a gofundme for the portrait of Benjamin Jones of Hanover Furnace fame. Please consider helping preserve this piece of South Jersey history. https://www.gofundme.com/f/restoration-of-benjamin-jones-portrait Sincerely, Tom

I recently received this image of Samuel Howell Jones from a relative in Washington State.

That's the first I've heard of this. Thanks.

I look forward to hearing from you Guy.

Thanks Ben. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
