Jerseyman, I was wondering if you could help me locate Newtown. From my notes: Road to Newtown from Indian Cabin Road via. Cook's field. Sand gotten from Cook's Field for glass factory at Batsto. (Wharton Ledgers, Vol. 9, p. 46) Also: “Pettit's Old Road” also called Newtown Road in...

Jerseyman, what was the name of the road depicted on Gordon's map which runs from Sailor Boy Inn up north past West's Mills?

So the Sailor Boy Inn was located at the junction of Moss Mill Rd and Sailor Boy Rd. Makes sense!

Thanks, Jerseyman!! I had forgotten that Indian Cabin Mill is depicted on Watson's 1812 map! You have confirmed by suspicions. Any clue as to where exactly THE Indian Cabin was? And have we any evidence of a tavern closer to the mill (Sailor Boy Tavern is too far from Indian Cabin Mill for...

Terry! Higbee's Tree Tavern seems to have been at the junction of Moss Mill Rd and Old Egg Harbor Rd: http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.58779452941733&lng=-74.7209960964584&z=17&type=nj1930&gpx= Sailor Boy was not at Nesco. The one at Nesco was called the New Columbia Tavern, I believe...

So I'm thinking that perhaps "Indian Cabin Mill" was at the foot of Egg Harbor City Lake. Could there have been a tavern there as well?

Neither did I know that it was a toponym. That said, I haven't found an actual map that depicts it. I would assume that the actual cabin was somewhere near the junction of Indian Cabin Stream and Indian Cabin Rd. What makes matters a bit confusing is the fact that "Indian Cabin Mill Inn" was...

I do. Somewhere between The Sweetwater Casino and High Bank. Private property, no doubt.

Great thread. Regarding the Joseph Matlack stone, I wonder if these are also his initials? "Benjamin Brush of Galloway Twp., £90 for 14 acres (messuage, tenement, plantation and tract where the mortgagor now lives) in the same place on the west side of "Mullacais [sic] River Just below a...

Looking at historicaerials.com, I see that it was dug out between 1940 and 1951. Springer's Brook is formed by the confluence of Indian Mills Brook, Muskingum Brook, and your unnamed stream. Let me know if you come across any maps that name it.

How bout that? Good stuff, Don.

Thanks, Mark! Does it ring a bell?

A riddle? Hmmmm....Are you transplanting a tree into the forest?

Dou%he bags!

Heh!

The Ageless River (a ballad of the Mullica)

"...and latterly several large lots of bottom land having been cleared and drained, promise will for good meadow..." What exactly did this entail? I'm assuming that this is referring to deforesting a swamp, filling it in with soil and planting grasses and what not. Am I thinking in the right...

"And if you think this all is but a tale, dare you take this dark untrodden trail? It won't be traced to Mrs. Leeds; it's to your soul that this path leads. Follow close that cloven tail!"

but?
