Bob: Thomas Potter’s Last Will and Testament is filed in Monmouth County, from which the New Jersey State Legislature erected Ocean County in 1850. So, anything prior to that date would be filed at the Monmouth County Courthouse in Freehold. There is also a copy on file at the New Jersey...

Mike: The forums administrators removed this guy once, but it looks like he rejoined in the early hours of the morning. Nobody wants what he’s selling, so he should just take a hike and not come back! He is nothing but the end product of what he is peddling, so he may be “hard” to get rid of...

NCherry: If the building stood near Mays Landing, I suspect it may be part of Belcoville and not Amatol, which is closer to Hammonton. Belcoville was the home of the Bethlehem Loading Company, which, of course, the Bethlehem Steel Company founded as a subsidiary. Both Belcoville and Amatol...

Wreckless: Glad I can help you out. Henry Low acquired his 70 acres of land in 1689 from Thomas Kendall by the deed recorded in West Jersey Deed Liber B, page 469. After selling his land to James Sherwin (or Sherwyn) on 21 July 1696 (West Jersey Deed Liber B, page 562), nothing further is...

Mike: You should know that the Sweetwater Casino is having a fire sale on drinks: http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/showthread.php?t=5445 Requiescat in Pace, Sweetwater. Best regards, Jerseyman

Don: Welcome to the forums and thanks for the clarification on the wild dogs. I can then only presume that the multiple pawprints I saw on the beach during my visit came from folks who go boating with their pets. I am aware of virtually everything else you posted except for the fishing, which...

Wreckless: The Northampton River is an alternate and ancient name for the Rancocas Creek, named for the original Northampton constabulary, later Northampton Township, first established by the Burlington Court in 1688. At one time, Northampton Township wholly encompassed present-day...

Bob: Although that may look like a porkpie hat, it is actually headgear very similar to what NJTrainset conductors still wear today, only J.L. has his white summer cover on it. Besides, I think you’ll find the porkpie fits better in the discussion or thread titled “Cheap Computer.” Just...

Yes, George—especially after the beer moves through the body’s filtration plant! :) What?!?!?! Not happy about the hoppy? You got a toad in your glass? If you have enough hoppy, you will be very happy! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Welcome back to the land of the living!! Best regards...

Bob: I thought I heard someone rooting around in my forums folder—and it was you!! Oji and George have it exactly right. This would be the type of windmill you would see out on the prairie and the railroad used it to fill the watertank that sat immediately north of the station. If you had...

Whoa, Folks! Don’t look now, but I think I witnessed someone hijacking this thread with just a wire coat hanger in his hand! No need for explosive sneakers here!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Jerseyman

Yo, Bob! I have yet to see you respond concretely concerning the snake you photographed, so I must ask directly (and borrow from an old commercial): “is it live or is it rubbertex?” I still think it is the latter. Best regards, Jerseyman

George: Only the spectacular and wonderous photographs you included in your message outshine the beauty of your prose! As I’ve said before—you do have a way with words, my friend! I know the trip refreshed your fond memories of days gone by and I hope it also renewed your soul. Thanks for...

Bravo, Spungman—bravo!!! Your certitude shines through with great brilliance and you are the reigning ROCK STAR on these forums!! You ARE THE MAN, but don’t get fatigued next weekend when you’re Russian around!! Seriously, Mark, I knew you would come through with some good material and...

BlueMoon: I absolutely concur with your assessment of the snake. If you look closely, you will see that the “scales” do not all meet and there is a greyish-black “body” showing through and around the scales. I was going to comment about it when Bob first posted the images. Now—perhaps we...

pineland: You are 100% correct: cementation does occur in the formation of some South Jersey ironstone. As I said in the beginning of this thread, Spungman could answer this question with greater certitude, but he’s always too busy walking the local landscape with some crazy scientists and/or...

Folks: I have nothing of substance to add to this thread, but I thought it most appropriate that my 666th message should appear here. To repent and pay penance for the lack of relevant thread content, I herewith include a transcription of the apocryphal story concerning a witch trial in Mount...

And remember folks: single socks are the larval stage of wire coat hangers! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Best regards, Jerseyman

Jennifer: As pinelandpaddler has already noted, the item you found is a piece of ironstone. For additional information about this material, please look at this thread if you have not already done so: http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/showthread.php?t=6414 Best regards, Jerseyman

Marcia: Here is a short notice of Benjamin’s death from the 13 October 1881 edition of the Trenton Gazette (Page 3): I hope you find this notice useful in your quest. At this point in time, I have nothing further to add to this thread. Best regards, Jerseyman
