oji: To answer your questions in order, here are my responses: 1. The developers platted the land and filed the resultant plans with Ocean County. Years ago, I sent TeeGate digital photos of the filed plans and he may still have those files. If so, perhaps he can supply a link to them in...

Nice, Guy—very nice! I will have to check out that bookstore sometime soon! Best regards, Jerseyman

Notary Sojac and God Bless America! Best regards, Jerseyman

Folks: If you have any interest in moving to Pasadena, here’s how to get a FREE building lot: The Philadelphia Inquirer, 23 May 1891, Page 7 I can’t wait to have the Pasadena Wood-Working Mill and Lumber Company build me a house so I can live with the Bon Vivants living at that great...

PINEY MIKE: Why would the beavers want to catch fish when they are herbavoires and do not consume flesh? Jerseyman

Bob: That is very interesting! During his lifetime, Walter T. Otto lived at 846 E. 34th Street in Brooklyn, New York, and served as the treasurer of the Universalist Church. It is not surprising that Otto would secure such a document as an assurance of title in the property at Murray Grove...

Bob: Thomas Potter’s Last Will and Testament is filed in Monmouth County, from which the New Jersey State Legislature erected Ocean County in 1850. So, anything prior to that date would be filed at the Monmouth County Courthouse in Freehold. There is also a copy on file at the New Jersey...

Mike: The forums administrators removed this guy once, but it looks like he rejoined in the early hours of the morning. Nobody wants what he’s selling, so he should just take a hike and not come back! He is nothing but the end product of what he is peddling, so he may be “hard” to get rid of...

NCherry: If the building stood near Mays Landing, I suspect it may be part of Belcoville and not Amatol, which is closer to Hammonton. Belcoville was the home of the Bethlehem Loading Company, which, of course, the Bethlehem Steel Company founded as a subsidiary. Both Belcoville and Amatol...

Wreckless: Glad I can help you out. Henry Low acquired his 70 acres of land in 1689 from Thomas Kendall by the deed recorded in West Jersey Deed Liber B, page 469. After selling his land to James Sherwin (or Sherwyn) on 21 July 1696 (West Jersey Deed Liber B, page 562), nothing further is...

Mike: You should know that the Sweetwater Casino is having a fire sale on drinks: http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/showthread.php?t=5445 Requiescat in Pace, Sweetwater. Best regards, Jerseyman

Don: Welcome to the forums and thanks for the clarification on the wild dogs. I can then only presume that the multiple pawprints I saw on the beach during my visit came from folks who go boating with their pets. I am aware of virtually everything else you posted except for the fishing, which...

Wreckless: The Northampton River is an alternate and ancient name for the Rancocas Creek, named for the original Northampton constabulary, later Northampton Township, first established by the Burlington Court in 1688. At one time, Northampton Township wholly encompassed present-day...

Bob: Although that may look like a porkpie hat, it is actually headgear very similar to what NJTrainset conductors still wear today, only J.L. has his white summer cover on it. Besides, I think you’ll find the porkpie fits better in the discussion or thread titled “Cheap Computer.” Just...

Yes, George—especially after the beer moves through the body’s filtration plant! :) What?!?!?! Not happy about the hoppy? You got a toad in your glass? If you have enough hoppy, you will be very happy! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Welcome back to the land of the living!! Best regards...

Bob: I thought I heard someone rooting around in my forums folder—and it was you!! Oji and George have it exactly right. This would be the type of windmill you would see out on the prairie and the railroad used it to fill the watertank that sat immediately north of the station. If you had...

Whoa, Folks! Don’t look now, but I think I witnessed someone hijacking this thread with just a wire coat hanger in his hand! No need for explosive sneakers here!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Jerseyman

Yo, Bob! I have yet to see you respond concretely concerning the snake you photographed, so I must ask directly (and borrow from an old commercial): “is it live or is it rubbertex?” I still think it is the latter. Best regards, Jerseyman

George: Only the spectacular and wonderous photographs you included in your message outshine the beauty of your prose! As I’ve said before—you do have a way with words, my friend! I know the trip refreshed your fond memories of days gone by and I hope it also renewed your soul. Thanks for...
