Really enjoying catching up on all the posts, this is so cool. Keeping history alive, great work!

I’ve been digging but haven’t had much luck unfortunately. A lot of the files that I’ve obtained did come from the state archives. Im absolutely terrible at record keeping my accountant hates me.

This map shows a cabin in the vicinity of where Hawkin bridge would be I believe. I too have wondered what the cellar hole was. Lots of references to Tulpenhawkin (spelled in numerous variations) in old texts and deeds. References to a mill dating back to the 1700s, but information is few and...

Hey all, long time it’s been. I believe this map was from an early survey map, I will have to see if I can dig it up or not. If I can I will post it.

This really sucks, I happened to stumble back after finally finding some free time from life, to read this. Why on Earth would someone take a stone?! Robbing History from future generations, pisses me off. I originally found out about this stone from WeirdNJ of all places, took some time to find...

It was a great day out there for sure! I had a great time and I like to thank you guys for inviting us, can't wait to do it again!

Ben, I am very sorry to hear about that, you will get through it with the help of your friends and family.

These may help in your quest... http://www.bassriverhistory.org/uploads/6/8/7/1/6871754/sooy_book_w_index.pdf http://bassriverhistory.blogspot.com/2009/10/potter-sooy-connection.html

LOL wouldn't that be different!!

Yea that looks like a job in itself just trying to read the map, at least I can put that mystery behind me. Beck must of had the wrong year and added a G in there.

Guy, are the stones that you found the whole tract? Was Beck's memory wrong or could there still be a T.G. Black 1858 stone out there hiding as large as a crouching man? I'd like to believe that there is, although I think the stone that Beck wrote about was the large one we know of. Maybe by...

Haha thats great, when I was younger my dad always told me to stay away from the "crick" (Rancocas Creek), I still call it the crick.

Guy, that's a great post. I am no historian or guru, but where does Blacks stone fit into the Aserdaten tract? Was it there before the tract was purchased? The Aserdaten area to me is like a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Wrangleboro, is it possible that the place you visited was Quaker bridge...

I was searching ebay just to see what I could find and look what I came across..... I simply don't have words for this http://www.ebay.com/itm/An-old-rock-possibly-a-piece-of-an-old-foundation-found-in-the-NJ-Pine-Barrens-/170884844456?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c987cba8

I assume your talking about Pakim pond, not sure on the fishing there. It is actually an abandoned cranberry bog, I don't see why the fishing would be bad.

Also your in Delanco, the Stripers will be in the Delaware before you know it. Im right next door in Riverside.

Awesome, looks like a good time. Nice looking fish!

I'll let you know a place thats great for pickerel, the cranberry pumping station behind martha furnace on the Oswego river. I never had bad luck there, and it isn't fished a lot because most people don't want to go out of their way that far just to fish someplace. The water is shallow for the...

Someone else on this site said they have seen one right in that area (can't remember who), I think they said it was near Friendship. I personally believe that they very well could be out there but in small numbers. The experts say it is extinct, but how many times do you hear about them finding...
