Don. Any idea where/when Henry (Sr) died? I have looked though calendar of wills up to 1817 and no Henry was listed. Could he have traveled to Ohio like so many others? willy

The one ad included the idea of many out buildings. Also, any idea where "Henry Shinn" was a tavern keeper and location of that tavern?

Gabe, I Gabe, I believe the Iron Work is just the sawmill metal apparatus ie base, saw blade, metal cogs, etc. willy

The hotels in Atlantic City had a similar practice of leaving the plates with the food. Here at Stockton University, there was at least one known pig farm on campus. We have the dump piles of plates and utensils still around. Years ago we would find similar plates in the freshly plowed garden...

Funny I actually remember reading that thread back before I was a member of this forum. Just not the o"The American Surveyor" article Jerseyman posted. I personally think it's awesome that these markers can still be found. Willy

Jerseyman, I believe the Heston reference can be found in Waggon Jaunts vol. 1. The page number escapes me at the moment. I have the book at work and can write it verbatim tomorrow if you wish. Best wishes, Willy

This is the progression of property ownership from Japhet Leeds Sr. to Japhet Leeds Jr. Any opinion on weather or not Jr would have his mom living with him until her death in 1748? Also, I know not when Japhet the 3rd becomes special needs. At birth? by an accident? Again this is just a thought!

I know not too trust ancestry sites as fact. That being said, most of her citations of wills are accurate. (I am at work and it was the first reference I could locate and cite) Any opinion on my thought?

A little interesting side note. Danial leeds great-grandson Japhet Leeds 3rd (born 1739 d. 1805.) was apparently a special needs person. In Japhet Leeds Jr's will it states, "...and they are to provide for their brother, Japhet, food, drink, lodging and apparel. Son Japhet, a bed and after his...

Jersey man, I know that 193 acres were surveyed to Philo Leeds. [surveyor General's at Burl. In Lib.- A. Folio 34] I then know that John Burr, advertising "lands for sale" in a newspaper ad: "a Tract in partnership with Philo Leeds, called Bards Neck, 193 Acres". Just trying to place words...
