LOL!

I realized that when no one loved me, all I needed was large doses of Iron and Wine.

I must agree, very cool Ben.

I gotta say, I have really enjoyed this thread.

Griffin Pipe is correct, although it is a little further down. There are a couple of other businesses in there as well. I may be mistaken, but I don't believe that what is Griffin Pipe today was part of the original works. I am not sure if any buildings from the original works are even...

http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=378&pos=5 I had gotten this copy from the Florence Historical Society. The copy, unfortunately, doesn't show the entire town. The iron works was situated to the left of B.W. Jones property.

Quote: In 1851, Samuel H. Jones gave a mortgage to Anthony S. Morris, trustee, for one half of the Hanover Furnace Tract, Mount Misery Tract, and Mary Ann Forge Tract and several other tracts, which is the first recorded notice of the forge that has been located. The forge itself continued to...

Did anyone vote for which word they wished hadn't become cool? I did, although, it was a hard choice to make between def and wack.

On the Jones or Hanover Tract map, the lake appears to be of quite a substantial size. This is around 1846.

I bought a copy of it at the Pemberton Museum, too. It is a nice book. The people at the Pemberton Historic Trust are a great bunch of people as well. They have been very helpful to me with my research. I had given them a full scale copy of the Jones Tract map that I have. If anyone stops...

I posted pictures in my gallery of some of Richard Jones (of Hanover Furnace) and Susan E Gibbs grand-children. I thought some of you might find them interesting. Some of them I am not certain exactly which child they are. These are the children of Benjamin Jones, the son of Richard, and Mary...

Interesting. It's funny, just this week, for some odd reason, while lying in bed trying to fall asleep, I was thinking about a trivial question posed to me 10 years ago or more: what freezes faster hot water or cold? And, here I am reading this post.

Happy birthday Ben.

I have been trying to locate a picture of the "Big House" for over a year now. The Pemberton Historical Trust said they used to have one, but cannot find it and have put me in touch with a number of people. I would love to have a copy of it to go with my files...if it is the "Big House."

Ariadne, this is a little of the thread topic. How is the book coming?

Those are some great shots. You do nice work.

All this talk recently about treasure hunters and dictators has made me wonder. What needs to happen for the state archaeologists to come in and excavate it? I, personally, would really like to see this happen. I assume that the site of the forge is on State lands. Ariadne, can you shed...

I usually keep to my self on this forum, but sometimes you simply must say something. I have enjoyed this site for a few years now, every since I read TeeGate's article on the Lawrence Line - great article. It is a great place to find historic info and find people who share the same interests...

Gen X-er Gen-exer here too! And, thank god I didn't cut my teeth on Madonna, Duran Duran or the Cure! Rather, Black Sabbath, Hendrix and the Doors!! Although, now I enjor David Grey, Dios Malos and Badly Drawn Boy. Regardless, Lawrence Welks is good too! Happy New Year! Tom

Merry Christmas everyone!
