JerseyGenesis: Yes, that is, indeed, the Batsto-Pleasant Mills Methodist Church. It was constructed in 1808 and its cemetery hold members of the Richards family as well as cast bog iron grave markers. I suspect you encountered an avid post card purchaser on ebay that usually bids enough to...

Mary Ann Forge property from the Jones Family Map Thanks to Tom, here is the Mary Ann (Mariann) Forge property from the published Jones Family property map: Tom has an original of this entire map as he descends from the Jones family. Unfortunately, the map only depicts two structures at...

Guy: As you pulled into the parking area, the ranger station was on the right near the southwest corner of the lot close to the lake. As I recall, the state fabricated the building to be collapsible and with the roof removed and the furniture gone, the four walls collapsed onto the floor and...

Lake Oswego Guy: Thanks so much for posting this information—it is all very interesting! In 1957, the New Jersey Department of Conservation and Economic Development, Division of Fish and Game, issued its New Jersey Fisheries Survey: Report Number Three: Lakes and Ponds. The issuance of Report...

Glo: Wonder-filled, beautiful images. You have provided us with a visual travelogue of your most recent visit and I can see that Mr. Beck has had a profound influence on your photography! No —not Henry C.—the OTHER Mr. Beck, whose work we have all come to appreciate and enjoy. And that...

Jason: Your comment above about how Delran Township has changed caused me to look at the original 7.5-minute USGS quads of the mid-1950s and compare them with the photo-corrected versions from the late 1970s-early 1980s, but the growth continued well into the 1990s and even the new...

Jerseychief: If Monmouth County works for you, Long Branch had a Central Hotel. The big hotel in Manchester/Lakehurst was the Pine Tree Inn. It is possible that Lakehurst had a small hotel named Central, perhaps somewhere near the station, but I am not aware of it and, believe me, I should...

Jerseychief: I think I recall a couple of Central Hotels, but I would really need you to provide an area or at least a time period for this place. If you can provide me with some guidance, I may be able to help you. Boyd: I could be wrong, but I don’t remember Pinehurst or Pinewald ever...

Jason: You will find the plates from the 1876 Burlington County atlas, as well as the 1849 and 1858 maps of Burlington County here: www.westjerseyhistory.org Please realize, however, that prior to 1880, Delran Township was part of Cinnaminson Township and prior to 1860, it was part of...

PD: Websites are okay for a quick and often “dirty” answer, but it will be many years before the Internet fully replaces the tried and true methods of old-fashioned research or even looking in a book. The information that Bachman’s Ivory supplied is fine, but it is only one of six different...

The Wing Ding Folks: After disentangling myself from a professional obligation, it looks like Jerseyman will be “in da house” tomorrow evening! :dance: Geez—I hate it when my work interferes with the pleasure of being with friends!! :argh: Best regards, Jerseyman
