New Toponym?

[Jerseyman]

Folks:

I have just received an undated nineteenth-century manuscript map that shows the toponym “Tadpole” in connection with a bridge carrying Batsto-Washington Tavern Road across the stream in Mordecai Swamp. Has anyone picked this place name up before?

I am working to gain permission to place the map on display here. I will let you know when I receive the license to do so.

Best regards,
Jerseyman

A cursory glance in Heart of the Pines and Jersey Genesis revealed nothing.

Thanks, Ben. I should note that I have checked all of the usual suspects relative to place names without result. I have a couple of other sources to look at, but I thought I would throw it out here.

Best regards,
Jerseyman

I figured you would look in the easy places first. Your library is better than my shelf and a half of books.

I don't remember seeing it on any maps I have, however, I will look again. Nice find!
