Garoutte had a son named Michael. I suppose it was he who sold the acre to Wescoat.

Hmmm..are we sure Garoutte died in 1829? I found a deed dated Feb. 16, 1832: Michael Garoutte to John Wescoat - one acre of land for $25.

BTW, what is "repetitive logic"?

"Its called rounding it down using repetitive logic based on facts." No need to be a smart ass. What I'm asking for is your source material concerning the inn owned by Sophie's father. Such documentation would greatly assist us in piecing together this puzzle.

"Michael and Sophie inherited Sophie's Father's Inn in Pleasant Mills, New Jersey and they renamed it to Lafayette Tavern.." What is your source for this? FYI, the Wharton Ledgers do not mention Gaurotte by name. I'm going to the State archives today to view the entry in the ledgers. I'll...

I'm going to the archives today. Guy, is there anything you can tell me to help me locate this map?

Indeed. What documents led you to conclude that the tavern was by the old Clark House?

The Wharton ledgers place Lafayatte Tavern on Indian Cabin Road. I have yet to look at the original source. Hopefully I'll do that in the near future.

You gonna leave us hanging like Guy did, Oriental? Or will you post the whole map? Pretty please?

Yeah, Batsto Forge was on the Nescochague just a bit upstream from the Pleasant Mills Church. Mirey Run feeds into the Sleeper. The pond depicted was created when Joseph Ball dammed the Sleeper.

Well, there is a gravel hill near the lime kiln I know of. the old nature center still stands on the hill.

The Devil's Weed!

It's about 10 miles between Atsion and Batsto, so I'm thinking "10 miles to Batsto" is referring to the length of the road between the two. So what's the deal with the building near the kiln that appears to have a cross on it?

The ore beds depicted on the map are below constable bridge. There is plenty or iron seeping along the stream on this stretch.

Constable is upstream from the Sleeper (mechescatauxin).

Unless there were two lime kilns at batsto, this map is woefully inaccurate with regards to the location of the kiln.

Constable.

What a thoughtful, reasoned and well-articulated argument!

Why?

Thanks, Al. Don't worry, I'll leave it at that.
