Jim: Here is some quick history of Tindall’s Island: Tyndall’s or Tindall’s Island, takes its name from Richard Tindall, its first English owner. Tindall arrived in the New World in 1678 and established his primary plantation as Tindall’s Bowery in the Mannington Precinct, Salem County...

Thanks for providing the modern image of the furnace site! I see it features the usual mound of detritus. Best regards, Jerseyman

Spungman: I concur with your first supposition about the image being taken from the ramp side of the furnace. If you look closely at the top of the stack, you can see what appears to be a cantilevered appendage, which would be the charging platform. I think I see at least one vertical wooden...

c1nj: The post card shows the furnace stack and the view is probably from the back side of the structure. It has the appearance of a peeled-back onion because locals began stripping the brick and stone to build other structures—an inexpensive way to gain good quality materials! Best...

Ætna Furnace, Tuckahoe Folks: I just received a recent acquisition from ebay and I thought I would share it with all of you: Best regards, Jerseyman

Chris: I forgot to provide you with the description of the horned snake on Irish Hill that I mentioned to you sometime ago. Here is that short article: The Friend, Seventh-Day, Eleventh Month 14, 1846, page 64. Horned Snake. Joseph Cook, living near Mount Ephraim, Camden county, N...

Chris: Once the home to manumitted slaves, Guineatown stood behind the old Montecello Motor Inn (now a Ho-Jo Express). A sandpit that became known as Lake Campanell destroyed a goodly portion of the small community that once existed there, but you can still catch glimpses of the area’s Pine...

George: It will be good to see both you and Lynn there! Numerated cards and balloons always allow for the proper designation of table numbers! 9 :) 9 :) 9 :)9 :) 9 :) 9 :) 9 :) 9 :) Best regards, Jerseyman

Pine Barren Outliers Folks: I am in full agreement with Spungman and German. These outliers are found in many places. The Camden County municipality of Lawnside and the portion of Bellmawr Borough known as Guineatown are both discontiguous outliers. The Pine Barren nature of these two...

Wow—too bad John Mahalchick is not around anymore! He could set up some signs around the teepee!! :) Best regards, Jerseyman

Jeff: Notice how Bob’s mouth/smile mimics the teeth of the raccoon scull in the photograph above. Funny—very funny! :mrgreen: Thank you all for the great trip report!! Best regards, Jerseyman

Folks: The “Lines on the Pines” event is still two months away, but Linda informs me she ALREADY has 51 reservations for dinner and the dining room only has max capacity of 125 if she places tables on the dance floor. So, if you have any thoughts about attending the dinner, please do not...

No offense taken, Mike; my presumption about the cause of your emotive outburst was correct. Best regards, Jerseyman

Excuse me? Is there a problem or are you referring to current funky narrow display of the text? If you are referring to the narrow text column, Ben indicated it should be corrected with the next version of the software—and hopefully that will happen soon. Jerseyman

Images of Kenilworth Folks: I finally had a few minutes to scan four post cards in my collection of Lake Kenilworth. Here they are in no particular order: I first became interested in Kenilworth a few years ago when I began researching antebellum African American enclaves...

Thanks, Ben! I’m glad to learn that it is in no way related to my display orientation. I hope you can fix it soon—my eyes are going cross as I attempt to keep them within a narrow field of vision!! Best regards, Jerseyman

Tony: Here is a quick-and-dirty map that depicts the bounds of the reservation: http://www.pineylenapenj.com/brotherton.reservation.nj.html A year or two ago, Don Catts, of the Indian Mills Historical Society, produced a large map of the township with all of the landmarks labeled and...

Bob: The publication I have extracted this piece and some of the other articles from is named The Friend, which is not just a nice appellation, but it also signifies this weekly journal’s direct association with the Society of Friends (a.k.a. Quakers). Members of this society retained “Old...

Display Problems Ben: The new software looks great and I am most appreciative of the time you have expended on everyone’s behalf!! I am different than most folks because I have my monitor set up in portrait (vertical) mode due to the many documents I work on. When you still had the old...
