Some great responses here. Jason, I'd like to see you engage the points being made.

I have questions. How many of these useless signs are to be installed? How much does it cost? Who is responsible for making this happen?

Al, and here I thought that you had never done drugs.

Jason, I sure hope you did some clearing for us!

Unfortunately, they are not online. They can be found at the State archives in Trenton. I will be sure to look next time I'm there, which may not be for awhile.

An examination of the tavern licenses of Gloucester county should yield some relevant info.

I agree that it would make sense that James Smith, if he indeed owned an inn in Pleasant Mills, could have given Michael and Sophie said inn. But we need to establish first that Smith did own an inn in Pleasant Mills. Until we have the facts necessary to logically deduce that the LaFayette...

"Source material that James was an Quaker and an innkeeper is in Garoutte History Book from 1975 third edition" G.C., I'm looking for evidence that Smith owned an inn in Pleasant Mills. Can you help me out with this?

G.C., I don't see anything in those pages you posted that mention Michael and Sophia inheriting James's inn.

It would be great if we could get our hands on a directory for the cemetery, if one exists. G.C., let us know when you find the information in the Garoutte History Book concerning James Smith's inn. Let's see if we can't get to the bottom of this.

By saying, "I was right," you give the impression that it was you who came up with this idea. We know that is not the case. I'll post the picture of the deed shortly.

What were you right about?

Negative.
