FOREW"ORD It is unfortunate that some of the early records of the various counties of New Jersey are apparently missing. Salem County is no exception; nevertheless, a great amount of information is available in the New Jersey Archives; the various State Offices in Trenton; the offices of County Clerk and Surrogate in Salem, N. J.; th.e New Jersey Historical Society, Newark, N. J.; the Pennsylvania Historical Society, Fhiladelphia, Penna.; the Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society, Vineland, N.J.;" the Cumberland, Camden, and Gloucester County Historical Societies; as well as the library and manuscript department of this Society. It is in the latter connect­ ion that this booklet is written, bringing to light possibly some hitherto unpublished and unrecorded facts. It is hoped that this publication will prove to be of value to those engaged in research. Other booklets are planned, including an inventory of numerous manuscripts, surveys and survey maps. Those who possess old Bibles, deeds, documents, books, genealogical records, maps, manuscri~ts, diaries, assessment rolls, minute books, marriage certificates, newspapers, scrap books, and the like, might well be concerned about their safety and their pre­ servation. The Salem County Historical Society, which already has a large collection of such things, will ne pleased to accept addition­ al items for storage 1n its new vault and their consequent protection against the awful risks of fire and theft, and the ravages of rodents. The vault, of fireproof construction, has no windows, has a steel safe door, and metal shelving, and even the humidity is under auto­ matic control as a deterrent against the deterioration of ageing. A~preciation is extended to Miss Josephine Jaquett for her labors in the compilation of this present work, and to Dr. Elmer G. Van Name for his help in bringing it to fruition. Salem County Historical Society ~ E..c.<)~ Harold E. W'oodward, Ph.D. President May 1, 1964. PLACE NAMES IN SALEM COUNTY, N. J. 2 It has been the endeavor to list, as far as possible, both the long forgotten names and places in Salem County, as well as the present communities, villages, streams, roads, etc. Particular attention has been given to the old plantation names and locations in Salem Tenth. It was the custom of the first purchasers of land in Fenwick's Colony to assign plantation names to their newly ac­ quired property. These names were sometimes fanciful, but more often were reminiscent of old home sites left overseas. The various lakes, ponds, townships, etc. will be found under appropriate group­ ings. In.many instances there can be no hard and fast rule regard­ ing either the spelling or more than a general location. Early spelling was mostly phonetic and subject to the individual ear. Boundaries have changed; farm lands, and sometimes older villages have been converted, or submerged, into new or larger settlements and industrial sites; many old roads, which were not too definite in the first place, have either disappeared entirely or have been rerouted; streams have dried up or changed their courses. Dams .have been built and lakes established; or, on the other hand, allowed to go to ruin, with only faint clues left as to their actual location. Then again, some of the names have been changed or suggested from time to time by the Post Office Department. In view of these uncertainties and later inaccuracies, the New Jersey Archives, as well as old deeds, papers, maps and sur­ veys in possession of the Salem County Historical Society are quoted herein, so ~ha~ or1g1na1 ~ources will give the locations as shown on the actual records. An additional advantage possibly to be gained by quoting the original papers is that information of a genealogical nature is often shown. If, however, "exact" bounds of any spot are desired, it will be necessary to consult the doc­ uments themselves. Many of t:he places may be seen on various maps, such as the map in the 11 History of :New JerseY." by Thoraas F. Gordon (1834); the Atlas of Everts & Stewart (1876);;and the map of Salem County, prepared u_nder the authority of the Salem County Board of Freeholders, 1958. Cumberland County was set off from Salem County January 19, 1748. Places in Cumberland County have, therefore, been generally omitted. Some place names in Cumberland County can be found in the'Vineland Historical Magazine' - Vol. 23, page 37. No attempt.has been made to give the entire history of places mentioned. Over the years the original tracts have been divided and sub-divided, and properties have changed hands at an amazing rate • -• A. ABBOTT'S CREEK - Elsinboro Township.

DOI: 5 The Clergy at the Courts of George I and George II STEPHEN TAYLOR In the years between the Reformation and the revolution of 1688 the court lay at the very heart of English religious life. Court bishops played an important role as royal councillors in matters concerning both church and commonwealth. 1 Royal chaplaincies were sought after, both as important steps on the road of prefer- ment and as positions from which to influence religious policy.2 Printed court sermons were a prominent literary genre, providing not least an important forum for debate about the nature and character of the English Reformation.

COTTON MATHER’S RELATIONSHIP TO SCIENCE by JAMES DANIEL HUDSON Under the Direction of Dr. Reiner Smolinski ABSTRACT The subject of this project is Cotton Mather’s relationship to science. As a minister, Mather’s desire to harmonize science with religion is an excellent medium for understanding the effects of the early Enlightenment upon traditional views of Scripture. Through “Biblia Americana” and The Christian Philosopher, I evaluate Mather’s effort to relate Newtonian science to the six creative days as recorded in Genesis 1. Chapter One evaluates Mather’s support for the scientific theories of Isaac Newton and his reception to natural philosophers who advocate Newton’s theories. Chapter Two highlights Mather’s treatment of the dominant cosmogonies preceding Isaac Newton. The Conclusion returns the reader to Mather’s principal occupation as a minister and the limits of science as informed by his theological mind. Through an exploration of Cotton Mather’s views on science, a more comprehensive understanding of this significant early American and the ideological assumptions shaping his place in American history is realized.

  • Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.

Aberystwyth Enlightenment and Dissent No. 15 1996 Editorial It is an apparent paradox that Enlightenment studies are flourishing more than ever and yet are in a state of crisis. The proliferation of such studies has made. it ever more difficult to retain a sense of the particularity of the Enlightenment and a grasp of its synergy. The situation has been long in the making and is associated with the success of the International Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies and of the Studies on Voltaire and the Eighteenth-Century. Some time ago John Lough in an illuminating article made a plea for a return to an older 'history of thought' pattern of study. For all its attractions that would hardly solve the problem of defining Enlightenment and locating it within eighteenth-century culture and society.
