I posted pictures in my gallery of some of Richard Jones (of Hanover Furnace) and Susan E Gibbs grand-children. I thought some of you might find them interesting. Some of them I am not certain exactly which child they are. These are the children of Benjamin Jones, the son of Richard, and Mary...

Interesting. It's funny, just this week, for some odd reason, while lying in bed trying to fall asleep, I was thinking about a trivial question posed to me 10 years ago or more: what freezes faster hot water or cold? And, here I am reading this post.

Happy birthday Ben.

I have been trying to locate a picture of the "Big House" for over a year now. The Pemberton Historical Trust said they used to have one, but cannot find it and have put me in touch with a number of people. I would love to have a copy of it to go with my files...if it is the "Big House."

Ariadne, this is a little of the thread topic. How is the book coming?

Those are some great shots. You do nice work.

All this talk recently about treasure hunters and dictators has made me wonder. What needs to happen for the state archaeologists to come in and excavate it? I, personally, would really like to see this happen. I assume that the site of the forge is on State lands. Ariadne, can you shed...

I usually keep to my self on this forum, but sometimes you simply must say something. I have enjoyed this site for a few years now, every since I read TeeGate's article on the Lawrence Line - great article. It is a great place to find historic info and find people who share the same interests...

Gen X-er Gen-exer here too! And, thank god I didn't cut my teeth on Madonna, Duran Duran or the Cure! Rather, Black Sabbath, Hendrix and the Doors!! Although, now I enjor David Grey, Dios Malos and Badly Drawn Boy. Regardless, Lawrence Welks is good too! Happy New Year! Tom

Merry Christmas everyone!

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.
