I hear the Wooleys owned some swamp land I have this album since the 80's,never thought I"d marry a woman related to the swamp owners.

The Stream you were looking at at the party spot was Manumuskin River,same creek that runs under the bridge only downstream. Big Neal branch meets the Manumuskin at the Bridge in what used to be the backed up pond.There is often no water in it. and 66C10 us correct bennetts Mill was a Cranberry...

Yes this is the exact spot where his well photo was taken.

Looks like the bridge is down for the count.I doubt they will ever replace it.

So Manumuskin means "To Drink Swamp water at this place"? I LIKE IT! Fits me perfectly for I have been known to drink swamp water on purpose and accidently.

The foundation you took pics of next to the raceway is the remains of the Mill

I"m in that group.Never thought of that.Thanks!

wish I had a pic of the cabin.I"ve never seen one.Wonder if any exist?

I made the number one reply on there. I remember they made some mistakes about where they were. Potters Cabin stood at the two chimneys.It was burned down in the 90's by some punks.It was in pretty good shape still in the 70's when I was a kid.The roof was still good and it was dry inside then.

Thats not as bad as i imagined,half of its still there

you do know the southern chimney fell down last year don't you? I have heard anyway,aint been by it since it fell

Peaceful? Did you ever read the newspaper clipping of the murder that was committed at Fries Mill over a woman.Wasn't always peaceful there but then again that goes for any where people have lived very long.

I had this old article sent to me by a friend.I seriously doubt there should be any copyright issues.It describes an old trip from Millville to Cumberland Furnace.I would say there were bushes but no trees mentioned because they were all fed to the furnace as charcoal.I ride this strip regularly...

Ahhh! The Far North! I don't circulate much that far up.72 is normally my northern boundary though i occasionally will venture to within sight of lakehurst but it's been years since I"ve been up there.

What is Ciba Geigy?

I used to run around those Tarkiln Bogs long before I knew what a Tar Kiln was.back in the early 90's when I lived in Belleplain those bogs were my stompin grounds. Kind of a piney isolate in a wilderness of oaks and maple swamps,.

You threw maps away? How sacreligious! My wife could never get me to throw away books or maps.Don't let her know you did it or she will want to know how your wife got you to do it.
