Interesting how it was relief to some and misery to others....

I was wondering if anyone had any information regarding Mount Relief. I came across this article regarding the name change in 1892. However, I have a map from 1844 that has Mount Misery noted as Mount Relief. What is the earliest record of Mount Relief? Beverly man delivers post-office...

Steve, I have been using ancestry.com and genealogy.com - they are affiliated sites. I have been doing it for over a year now and have found quite a bit of information. A couple of good free sites are rootsweb.com and the Mormons site www.familysearch.org. Good luck. It can be quite...

My copy, the republished 1961 edition, doesn't have it either; but, it looks like the Harrisville chapter to me.

That is very sad news.

It definetly is amazing. If you can look at your house on google, you know the military can look in your windows.

Hey, I really enjoyed the photos. I was hoping to make it to this outing and meet you guys, but I hurt my back this past week. Excellent photos, though.

Her book was published in the mid 70's. I have never seen a copy of it except in the library's reference section - I couldn't even check it out. The Pemberton Historic Trust has a short version of it that Judy produced for them and they are trying to get her original re-published so they can...

Judy Olson had published these same stories in her book "Pemterton Township: A History." My grandmother, however, also recalled these stories from her childhood. She couldn't remember them exactly and that is why I quoted them from the book.

Interesting article. It's amazing to think that the south jersey iron industry would present that much interest (or any at all, for that matter) to someone on the other side of the world.

All things permitting, my father and I will be joining you guys on this trip. Tom

Sounds like you guys all had a great time. Sorry I couldn't make it. It would have been nice to meet all of you. I enjoyed the photos, though. Tom

Guy, No, the map doesn't note any markers. Tom

Teegate, I have read Boyer's book. A great book. I, also, have Richard Jones' original map of the Hanover/Jones Tract from 1846. It is from before the division of Richard and Samuel. The total land mass that the brothers owned at that time was 44,454 12/100 acres. I have been trying to...

I have searched the Furoms for these stories and haven't found them with the exception of the "crows in the smoke stack," which I didn't post here. If I have repeated anything that has been posted before, please forgive me. That said, here they are as quoted by Herbert Halpert and Charles...

Hey everyone, I hope you enjoy these. I knew if anyone could appreciate them, it was all of you that make this site what it is. Ben, thanks for making a spot for them. I truely appreciate it. Tom

My father and I were laughing about that story this morning. Tom

This post has been very interesting and amusing. The part about freezing the mash would indicate that the liquor could only be made in the winter, as there was no way to freeze liquids at that time.

Thanks TeeGate. I have more docs that I plan to post, hope you guys enjoy them.

Thanks Mike. That is the story I am talking about. According to my grandmother the ironmaster in that story was a forefather of mine. I want get a copy of the story.
